Yeah, it would've made more sense to go darker instead of lighter, since the Insecticons tended to be in such dimly lit areas for the majority of their appearances that it's easy to forget they even had as much coloration as the Vehicons.Noideaforaname wrote:Too bad Bombshock isn't terribly different from Hardshell, color-wise. He's basically more saturated version.

I gave some deluxes to my boy and he threw the toys down in frustration from them being too difficult to transform quickly enough.
Hasbro is right by making the transformations easier.
Kids want to transform the stuff quickly and easily while playing. I know I did. and I know my boy does at least
But Henry921 brought the enlarged legion guys up, so he went off on a relevant tangent. For all the understandable disdain the up-sizing plan got when it was announced, I have to agree because there are a few Prime guys I still need to break out the instructions for out of fear of breaking something, so I can imagine how frustrated a 6-year old would feel.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:jamarmiller wrote:I think making the deluxes transformations more simple is definitely a plus.

There are Cyberverse Commander-sized, not Deluxe.

Oh gosh, sometimes I hate it that I live in the Netherlands...

In my area the Beast Hunters Deluxes have just been released, skipping to all the way to Wave 3 no less. Shockwave is part of Beast Hunters, so he will be released, eventually... I hope...

Yea, I spotted those deluxes too in the local ToysXL.
I got luck though. In France I bought Cyberverse Hun-Gurrr and Twinstrike (which had been released there waaay before they came to the Netherlands) and in that local ToysXL I've found the other three of the Abominus set.

IDR which Commanders are actually getting Voyager-sized, but Hardshell should be first and foremost, so I too hope Hasbro's far from done with this mold. Its transformation's intricate enough, Voyager would be about the right size for show accuracy, and even if army-building is far more for collectors than kids, Voyager Insecticons would surely move faster than all of Skyquake's case-mates.

And no, just no, never ever going to let POWER Rangers in my house, NEVER LOL

All the G1 combiners ( US and JAPAN ) including the recently released Predaking from Amazon , Power Core combiners, RID combiners, ect.
Hes only received a few so far, but I have enough combiners for him to last years LOL.
I live in japan and Power ranger stuff and the like is easy for me to get, but there is no way . I hate Power rangers with a passion. LOL

I do like the new paint job for Bombshock, though, as it fits in better with the BH line.
