Just got Optimus and Megatron today! Wal-mart didn't have the rest of them but they shouldn't be too far behind.

Damn these guys are awesome! I haven't been this thrilled with news toys since I first got Alternators Smokescreen!

I can't wait for the rest of them. Ramjet, Starscream and Jetfire looked great in the display case at BotCon. I think the only one I might pass on is the E Constructicons repaint since I already have them.

Starscream is extremly fun, gonna go check for Bumblebee and Megs today though...

I got Optimus yesterday and I agree! He's so freakin' awesome. The only thing I don't like is the arm kibble, but we all already knew that was gonna be there so it's not a big deal. If that's what it takes to give us a kick-ass figure, then I'm all for it!

Prime is definately on my must get list. I?m wondering how hard it would be to make a trailer foir him given that the only ?post? that could act as a fifth wheel is relatively square in shape, and that same issue will come up when the Ultra magnusvs Skywarp two-pack comes out. As I said before, I definately plan on making a trailer that turns into battle armor for him, and I want him to be able to tow it properly.

I think the best best would be to drill a hole right down the middle of the square and use a round peg on the trailer. The legs stay together very well so I don't think there would be much of a problem with the legs seperating while towing.


What I'm curious is how well Classic Bumblebee will fit in a 1:24 New Beetle model kit?

Unfortunately being on a card and all I'm guessing he's going to be much too small. Hopefully his head will at least be big enough, since other deluxe size figs like Blurr and Overdrive have had their heads used successfully, but I kinda doubt it.

I've got the classics Bumblebee and unfortunately the head is too small, but maybe the transformation into bot form would allow a reshell VW 1:24 scale model to work. I've never done a reshell, but it may just work with some imagination.
I do have a Lamborghini Diablo 1:24 I bought to reshell Alternator style, but I'm having problems figuring out which Alt parts to use, because it is such a low/flattened car.
Is Ultra Magnus going to be a repaint of Optimus as usual?
I saw Rodimus pics awhile back and thought he looked cool, but in the package in my hand I...Rodimus Prime... did not care for it. Maybe when I buy him and display him I'll fell different. Anybody picked him up yet? If so, what do you think?

I think a 1/24 scale might be too big. Something like a 1/36 to 1/48 scale might be more appropriate.

I bought another Starscream today because I need to paint a few details. This character has got the worst paint apps out of any of the classics, theface is not even done.



I also found Cybertron Smokescreen, I had forgotten this was comming. It looks so good in G1 colours it might as well be a classic.


Now only Megatron alludes me.
