Well, the beauty of Construct Bots is that if you end up double-dipping, you can just keep swapping parts around until you find something you do like. The only reason I ever started with them was for G2 Cybertronian army-building, but when I got Soundwave, he ended up being so awesome I couldn't repurpose his bits onto anyone else, because he was such a nice blend of elements from so many past 'cons: On top of his G1 and Cybertron self, there are distinct parts of his smaller Animated incarnation that never got a toy. And mixed in with wings and shoulders from Energon Megatron/Thunderwing are shades of Triggerhappy! An homage to my favorite 'con Targetmaster with extra weapons? Can't complain about that.
I intended to buy more Starscreams from the start, but the new one has too much red for my purposes, and the weapons the old one's getting look...silly. I'm actually disappointed that they went out of their way to make CB Thundercracker a repaint of everyone except Staracream, because I'd like to see him in every color until they get to Acid Storm...which they'd likely save for last because of his Masterpiece toy.
Oh well, I need more green genocidal ground forces than jets anyway, so if anyone really wants to get rid of their Bulkhead once they've got his anipals, I'll gladly take him off your hands!
Of course, I've only ever bought Construct-Bots on sale. They're nice, but not quite full-price nice.
