Bruticus is disappointing, not only because of the repaints, not only because Brawl appears to be an epic fail, even Onslaught is wanting.
My Superion still does not have an opponent, and I just added a member. I decided with Hasbro's recent coupon code to get Blades as the opposite limb to Alpha Bravo. Looks amazing. I'll will eventually share pics of my Superion in all of his configurations. I just haven't taken the pics yet.
I wish Devastator wasn't so big. Six large deluxe class figures would have worked much better and as I had Superion and Devastator as a kid that would have made me very happy. If I can take advantage of this or a later sale I might still get the big guy.
I wish Hasbro was also planning on releasing a Decepticon version of Victorion with a good paint scheme. Even an alternate Autobot version would be fine since I could use Reprlabels to change the faction. We just don't have good Decepticon combiners, so I have no war.
I had Scattershot as a kid, and he would be an instant buy as another torso option if he was retooled correctly, but this lazy too red version of Superion may as well be called Inferion. Why couldn't Hasbro have pulled a Cyclonus with the retool?
I so want RID Optimus Prime/Omega Prime from Hot Spot, but my gut tells me that will eventually be some sort of very expensive exclusive. Great for everyone who can afford those, I hope when they make it they do the character justice with the anime redesigned Optimus Prime head and the unique Super Mode/Omega Prime head. If Hot Spot goes on a great sale I might cave since I did play with him at a neighbor's house way back when.
However my plan is to stick with flying vehicles for my Autobot combiner, so maybe I'll get Sky Lynx if the torso mode works. The same neighbor had him, too, so both have a significant nostalgia factor for me.
I won't go into my disappointments for the upcoming line here, but I am looking forward to Galvatron and the eventual Astrotrain. I'm just mentioning them because I have to plan my budget for next year and I don't want to blow it now.
On a side note, can someone provide a pic showing how a CW gestalt scales with a supreme class figure like Cybertron Starscream?
It would be really nice if the new Titan Wars line had a Decepticon that could go toe-to-toe with an Autobot CW gestalt. Overloard would be a good option. I doubt Hasbro thinks like that, though.
