I have both types of mini-Shockwaves, if I can get Bruticus and this I plan to try all of them at once to make a mega-Combaticon combiner. I can see it now, as they all merge their strengths... Swindle: "Greed!! Blastoff: "Arrogance!" Brawl: "Violence!" Onslaught: "Overthinking!" Vortex...

I was wondering that myself, trying to figure out if the little chest tab was new or not. I don't have any version of the mold, but I slapped this together, it looks like the tower/handle has been remolded with 'slots' but no eye, and there's a new clip under the chest part that Tfwiki says is...

Looking back at the pics of new Bruticus I see the little notch in the right shoulder that I previously totally overlooked where the new tab on Shockwave's chest locks in, and it is NOT mirrored in the left shoulder of the frame. Looks like this has been in the works from the start.

That's probably why the average train can't hold six construction vehicles plus an army of similar sized warriors at once. A lack of shuttle-bay. Though I still look at the old transformation in the movie and wonder if everyone inside got throw against the ceiling when the entire room rolled...

Well, that would solve some of my trunk space issues, I have to admit. Probably would take a major hit on mileage when using the gas engine though...

Of course, there is the simple fact that if they HADN'T killed Optimus Prime, they wouldn't HAVE to hand out matrix's... Then again, we'd also never have heard of it, as the Marvel Comics concept was entirely different at first.

I'm sorry about the battery 'downing', I'm just always hesitant on any expensive device absolutely dependent on a battery I can't change (and while I have experience in it and an Amateur Extra class Ham Radio license, I SUCK at soldering), though admittedly my phone, computer, and CAR of all...

I just saw the USB...Oh, well...

The one revealed in the same picture drop, it looks quite nice but I'm hoping it's not one of those 'Lithium pack you can't replace' things. Edit: Looks like USB. Oh, well...

I do hope the 'rechargeable' bit is wrong, honestly, simply because I hate a toy being limited in its life by the Iife of a non-replaceable battery of variable quality. AA's or AAA's are easier if you check them against leakage.

105 pounds, that's about 150 dollars, right? Like a ForceFX lightsaber, dang. I wonder if the matrix is a bluetooth speaker. Thanks to the Emgo Maverick skit I picture it playing "Everybody Poops".

I can't criticize, one of the few TFSS toys I kept during the medical mess was the Pretender monkey with an inner truck. It's one of my all time favorites.

I do hope the Matrix is AA or AAA, I hate built in li-ion packs that limit the life of the toy to the life of the battery.

I hate Astrotrain's shuttle mode, his robot mode looks clunky, and his train mode has...an effect part that makes the choo-choo smoke...? ...It's a must-buy, I have my nephew's next birthday planned...

I'm gonna sing the Doom Song now...or I would if any company had the guts to make decent Invader Zim toys. The Pop things don't count. Though I will admit that I think Hasbropulse is a bit (barely) more user friendly than Mattel Creations. The non-Premium shipping isn't as troublesome.

If POS means what I think it does, I'm glad the amount of it is declining. Unfortunately, I also know it doesn't...

This is why I hate clear plastic on joints, and joints that rely on the plastic to bend to assemble in the first place, then to keep pressure on to not just flop, like ball joints, are the WORST SORT.

Ok, re: the Maximo pictures out today, if this is NOT having some Unicron-ish recolor I will be profoundly shocked. Heck, just change the head a bit and make it orange and you have Selects Beast Wars Neo prototype style Unicron right there...

"How do you know it's a monocycle?" "I looked it up the unicyclopedia."

"...but after all, deep down, isn't there a never-shown-on-screen white Optimus Prime inside each and every one of us?"
