No arguments from me whatsoever. My ER Prime isn't leaving my collection any time soon, either! My take came after watching That Toy Guy's MP44 review recently. You could see how there were refinements going from one to the other.

MP-44 crawled so that SS86 Prime could fly.

The centre mass of the new Vortex doesn't have anything exciting going on, and when I configured it to a CW style arm mode for funsies, it made me wish there was a combiner block in there instead. Or, more so wishing that Hasbro had more budget to work with ten years ago. The base design of...

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the frame system, either, but I'm hoping Onslaught will pull it off decently. We will see. But, if you compare Vortexes (Vortices?), it's not even close.

The two shades DO lend some extra visual appeal, though!

I wasn't planning on getting much from AotP, but I got caught up in the "unintended world premiere" excitement, and I guess I'm getting the Combaticons now 😅

Snow bug

The most productive city in the world! Or...would that be the least...? 🤔

Oh, huh. I forgot that Cliffjumper had more than one VA...or that he was in more than the first couple of episodes.

And a fitting callback to his voice actor, too!

Someone made a head for the SS86 figure that's probably the best G1 Sunbow Bumblebee head I've ever seen. I think it may be cross compatible with the Earthrise mold, too... EDIT: https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/ss86-bumblebee-head-and-gun.1274825/

It took a whole quarter year, but I have my first figure of 2025. Bumblebee should be the last Cybertronian to have a scowl.

It's kinda surprising that the limbs connect with a double post system. A single post would have at least kept bicep/knee swivels, which would have helped the articulation immensely in both standard and combined modes. Actually, it looks like there is a seperate bicep swivel on Prime/Megs?

I feel like the concept was this close to something great, but then the budget got in the way.

So many people hate the parts forming rear hatch, but it never bothered me, and the rest of the design is just really good. Both as CJ and Bumblebee!

I feel like the Cliffjumper mold just doesn't get enough love! Speaking of which: Elbows up!

I'm not even sure what these two would say to each other, so...uh...caption this for me?

I really should get the Toyhax set for Smokescreen...

I'm sitting here, looking at it on my desk, and it's so much better in person! The only thing I really don't care for are the arm labels. In the set, only one of the black backing was properly cut (though the margins are narrow), and the blue labels for the rear sections just don't seem quite...

It's not photographing well at all, but I love how the chrome labels look on Prime. Couldn't bring myself to cover up the front grille, though. I won't ever own Missing Link, but this really will do the trick for me!
