Schnazzy, however... I'll take Hasbro.

Starscream and Kickback are all I can afford, after pre-ordering MP Soundwave and Sideswipe, as well as a truckload of HT figs. Gotta save my pennies for the MP Cassetticons too.

Bruticus: better colors, although Vortex still has too much red. The individual figs have too many issues (Onslaught's horrible shoulder articulation) for me to buy the set even if I had the spare cash.

Voyager FOC Soundwave is tempting, but it would be a little redundant, seeing as I already own the WFC deluxe fig. I'll have to think on this one.

Anyone else think that the mold for Magnus was designed with him in mind and then Prime was shoe horned into it? Works so much better as Magnus than Prime I think.

I've said this before but this mold:

was meant for UM, not OP.

I wish they would put Laserbeak and Buzzsaw in their own two pack. I need Classic versions of them but I don't want to get another Soundwave when I already have the deluxe WFC version

Black and red are Air Raid's colours. To be Skydive it would have to be black and grey. This version looks sufficiently Air Rad-y to me.

Which really makes me sad to see that it isn't Fireflight.

Well the Hasbro version can "be" Fireflight. To be honest these are Aerialbots made from Shockwave repaints so colour inconsistencies are not the worst of their accuracy problems.

Also that giant weapon that comes with Sideswipe makes me feel even more of a mug for buying Jazz.

Damn you Takara. Now I want all the FOC redecos!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shiny Bruticus is niiice. However, at the cost of Takara figures, I might as well have bought the SDCC version. So I'm stuck with the Skittle-colored Hasbro retail version.

Same goes for most of these, probably, though Starscream is mighty tempting.
