I wasn't sure I'd like Gen Wheeljack, I thought he'd be too similar to RTS Tracks, but then I got him and wound up liking him so much that now I'm like "Tracks who?" lol

They really did a top notch job retooling that mold.


I wasn't really expecting much when I got an Energon Sharkticon as a Christmas present one year, but after opening it and transforming it a few times, it became one of my favorites from that entire line.

I imagine it's akin to the feeling this cover gives.

CHMS Ghost Conehead Seekers. Bought them on a whim. Got em on a motorized mirror base turntable that has a light at the center of it (which also switches between light colors). I then went all out and bought 3 mirror tiles (a square foot in dimension each) from Home Depot along with some adhesive hinges ($15 total). I love my jolly rancher collection - it's like what Willy Wonka would have if he collected transformable robots.

^^^ Like...trippy maaaaan. 8-}

I picked up the RotF "Back Road Brawl" 2-pack only because it was on clearance for like $15. I wasn't expecting to really like either figure that much, but it turns out that Hoist is one of my favorite movie versions of a G1 character! His head looks a lot like his original self and he's built very well for a movie character, not looking overly complicated (or at least LESS overly complicated than a lot of movie toys). His rifle is kinda a pain in the butt, but removing one screw takes care of that. Plus, you don't even have to screw it back in to transform him and reattach it.

Plus, Mix Master, as mentioned above, is awesome too, and in G1 colors to boot. I won't lie, his transformation is a pain in the ass, but he looks so cool in either mode. He's a pretty big, solid truck. This size and substanial...ness (!?) is something I missed in the DotM toys.

Motto: "What the blazing flak?"
Weapon: Railgun
WFC Generations Megatron. I thought it would have some awesome non-symmetrical transformation when I fist saw the online pics, and so it looked like a disappointingly simple figure in the packaging.

However, when played with, it became one of my favorite Deluxes. The solid build, attention to detail, awesome fusion cannon and (gasp) a kibble-less, highly detailed backside makes him one of the greatest deluxes of the WFC Generations subline. The only complaint is that his fusion cannon attaches by a clip instead of via Powerlinx.

Here's one. RotF Gears. Once again, only bought him because he was on clearance. His alt mode is kinda "meh", but then I start playing with him, and it turns out he's pretty awesome! I like the transformation because, once again, it's relatively simple, but not overly so. He's brightly colored in robot mode, which is a nice change up from all the grey, silver and black we tend to get with movie figures.

He also has EXTENDO FISTS!!! He just runs around, meeting new people and EXTENDO FIST!!!ing them in the face, because that's what you do when you have EXTENDO FISTS!!! :HEADHURTS:
