Crappy as she is, she has an amazing head sculpt!

nah, considering how good she is, I went and hunted down a Beast Machines Blackarachnia.

If I only get Impactor this year I will be happy. Like Straxus I have waited many years for this character to see toy form. Now if I can get Xaaron I will be happy! (And Ruination's head does not count)

She's an in-show character. I rest my case.

I have the in show characters too but I won't touch that one if I found it in my local £1 store.

Good for you. I get all the in-show characters. I don't care how crappy they are. It's the only one we've got, and I'll settle for it.

Your list doesn't currently include the retools of BB and Soundwave, or the new Optimus (though oddly enough does include Ravage).

God help us all if Soundwave is actually redecoed into that yellow monstrosity on screen, but are you really so determined to get in-show characters even when the figures are crap? I can understand wanting to have them, but some, like Airachnid and Skyquake and Breakdown, are probably killed off. Two of the figures I mentioned are awesome, but the characters are no longer actively appearing in the series. Is this just a completionist thing or do you just really like Prime in particular?

Because either way, you could substitute, say, Cyberverse figures into the equation, where Airachnid is the decent figure and Breakdown is the crappy one... but I digress.



Back on topic and enthusiasm for 2013:

Cyberverse Commanders: Yes, please.
Predaking and Optimus look good. I have hope Hardshell will be decent (here's hoping for Voyager Hardshell/Insecticon figures down the line too, as long as they're on a 'beast' sort of kick).

Breakdown is the crappy one? Really? ...

I feel almost the same as Trikeboy, except I'm not looking at non TF stuff and I'm not considering Fort Max. Maybe I will end up buying more third party stuff this year because there are only a handful of FoC figures I want and BH retools and beastformers in general don't really interest me.

Breakdown: smaller Legion
Bulkhead: bigger Commander

Yeah, the problem isn't so much that it's a crappy figure as it's crappy scale... guess I should've been more specific on that one.

Breakdown might be smaller but he has a fun transformation. The Commander and Legion class toys were the only toys I got from DOTM and were more fun than the Deluxe and Voyager Prime figs. It's a shame its descending into pointless repaints.

there is very little that is keeping me interested in Has/Tak except for Encore, United, and MP.
