Do not listen to the other Transformer . . . the ability to transform into a dinosaur, or a car, or even a tank, is insignificant next to the power to transform into a TIE Fighter or, coming soon, a Sith Starfighter.

Ugh. Those new TF were a little crappy. i got Bumblebee just because. And Starscream because he looks good in robot mode.

Where oh where is a Nice Megatron to compliment my 2oth A Prime?

How can Hasbro drop the ball like that?

wow! EP back with a vengeance!

yeah, the TF classics are a little touch-n-go... i like bumblebee, because it's the first decen figure of him, um... EVER. the starscream looks pretty cool, and the prime looks decent. so does hotrodimus. i'm skipping the rest, though.

I got the first six, and like all but Astrotrain. They tried to do too much with a $10 figure, and the execution blows. He's not bad, but not on par with the others.

I found Cliffjumper and Ramjet this morning at WM. I now have all the Classics released so far, except for the Prime/G2 Megatron 2-pack (which has "clearanced in two months" written all over it).

Except for the Minicons. They don't exist.

I even have the pre-radio figure of a certain moderator douchebag.

I only have Bumblebee, Starscream and now Jetfire. I want Cliffjumper and the alleged Skywarp/Ultra Magnus two pack coming out. Mirage looked a little anorexic to me and there was just something about Grimlock that bugged me. Megatron of course, looks horrific. I'm still debating Optimus, but once you've got the 20thA. nothing else is looks good, in scale or not.

The Prime is nice. He's not the 20th Anniversary one by a long, long shot, but he's pretty cool nonetheless.

Megatron isn't too bad, but I wish the wings weren't permanently attached.

Grimlock, well, I could never get him transformed. Which is fine, because he belongs in dino-mode. (If I had my druthers, though, the huge honkin' cannon wouldn't be a permanent fixture.)

Mirage, I can't defend. Vyn will be along shortly to do so, though.

Jetfire is, by far, the best of these.

Picked up Cliffjumper and Skywarp/UM today. Huzzah! I am debating just bringing them right into the office and popping them open in front of everybody. They already know I'm a huge toy collector.

You've all ordered the MPE Starscream from Japan, I hope?

No I have not. I am eyeing that MP-5 Megatron. That fucker looks sweet and I'm trying to convince myself that $100 is worth it.

I finally got Skywarp yesterday.

He rocks.

He makes Starscream look like the POS he is.
