Wow, just got this today.... Totally amazing!!!!!

I think the new rage head is really really growing on me, actually I think I would like buy another and paint the forehead silver so it looks even more G1 than the original head.

I wonder if they would ever sell them separately?

However, it's too bad he won't have a permanent home for another 4-5 months while our home is being built. :-(

Slowly making my way through the set. They're great stuff. I really like these over Hercules. By a large margin at that.

Me too. When I get back, I'm probably going to look into selling my Herc set. I'll get the SG version of them I think, but that's for their robot modes and not the Gestalt.

Really too bad I'm so sentimentally attached to the G1 Devastator... the yellow on the G2 version really "pops" in that comparison video.

Okay, so having digested the set, Scrapper is crap. It's a real shame too because he looks great. Nearly the entire upper portion of his body articulation is completely hampered by bits of unnecessarily complicated transformation. He's the only figure in the set I kind of despise. Long Haul has some complicate stuff as well but none of it really affects any of his modes poorly. So five out of six isn't shabby. Giant himself is gorgeous in hand. Very satisfied with that purchase. I can not wait to see their Computron.

I have the yellow set with Scrapper and, while I don't think he's crap, the way him arms lock-or are supposed to-does make posing him needlessly frustrating and challenging. Does look great when you finally achieve that "just right" look though.

My green set arrives tomorrow. Going to have to lock myself in my office to play with everything when it arrives. :grin:
