The Takara scheme is such an improvement over the ALL PRIMARY COLORS Hasbro version. :lol:

Fun fact, the arm under the beast mode head is attached via a 5mm peg. It makes a great severed arm if you need one. :P. it looks pretty good hanging off Cybertron Demolishor.

Cool. Might give it to Zombie Cliffjumper.

Might work on the AM version... I don't think the Hasbro version has any 5mm pegs on it though.

I'm still looking to pic one up. I have Alternity Ravage (on my Beast Wars shelf ;)), but I still need the kitty-mode Binaltech version, I think it looks cool.

@Dean ML: I'm totally with you on RotF Leader Megs. I really dig him, especially in vehicle mode. It's one of the nastiest looking, most imposing/evil looking alt modes I've ever seen and all the molding detail really looks awesome.


Yes! Vehicle mode's incredible, even if it does just look like a folded up Megatron - that's how it looked in the movie, head between his treads and all.



The messed up thing with me is- I bought him, hated it, then sold it on ebay. THEN I turn around and stared at him forever right after Christmas, and, with some gift cash burning a hole in my pocket, I bought him again! Now I love the thing. I really dig the car mode, and bot mode really isn't bad, either. PLUS, coming to grips with the size issue I had about the FOC line, I decided to buy Optimus Prime. While I'm still not keen on the bot mode, I absolutely love the alt mode. Definitely gives me the War Within feel.

The kicker is, i paid retail on both at Walmart, then today I look on BBTS and both are going for like $7.50 each...... :HEADHURTS:

Yep, I'm with you here. At first I was a bit disappointed with the tininess etc., but after playing with both of them for a while and looking at them in detail, I really came to appreciate each of them. Now I'm anxiously awaiting shipping my POL to get the Takara metallic versions and I'm also looking forward to the Ultra Magnus repaint which looks spectacular (not to mention the Sideswipe remold which looks amazing).

I can get over the smaller size classes. They're still cool toys.

I want it too but man, this thing is EXPENSIVE. No way that I'd pay 60$ for it.

At the risk of looking like I'm sucking up to the OP, I too love the 07 Movie jet mold. I have the original and G1 SS (sold my shiny version, dumb), and the 3 Seeker repaints. It's just a fun mold, I love the robot mode bulk and the head sculpts.

ROF Supreme Devastator is a lot of fun w/ Legends figs. He's huge and just cool. Still expensive on eBay, glad I got mine cheap back when he was being clearanced.

Edit- I meant that selling the silver Deep Space Starscream was dumb, not that the figure was dumb. That is all.

It's definitely a very fun mold! The autotransform is very smooth, and both modes looks pretty nice. I'm afraid I've grown to hate that G1-esque head sculpt though. Anybody care to photoshop a coat of silver on top of the mouthpiping? It works wonderfully on Prime Dead End, but I just don't like it on a character that's not supposed to be a monstrous lunatic. x.x;
