But, "Prime of Micron" is official, so it's what the title's stuck with.

Really? I figured Crazybolt would be right up your alley. Not to mention the monstrous Decepticons (Quillfire!).MGrotusque wrote:This figure just reinforces why I'll never purchase a single TF from this line. Not my cup of tea as they say.
I really like the look of this weirdo. I can't afford to snatch him up right now, so hopefully he's still available in a week or two

I would definitely recomend Quillfire and Fracture to McGrotesque if he's looking for some good TF toys out in stores right now. They are as good as any other tfs that have been released these past years and unlike some others from this line, the Hasbro version is decent enough.

Micron 'Sotusu'
This is why online translators for Japanese names are not a thing . It actually translates to Sawtooth: ソー (sou) is "saw" (Remember Swerve's Arms Micron?) and トゥース (tuusu) is "tooth".

I believe you recomended Fracture to me some months back after Is said I wasn't about RiD/Adventure toys. It was definitely a hit. I have him prominently displayed on my makeshift pirates shelf and he fits right in.

Thats so great to hear Mr Scram, glad you like him! I do try to get the word out on how good he is. Not that he is the best ever, but in a line that most fans are ignoring because it is addressed to kids (as Transformers toys have been for 30 years), he really is a toy that anyone can enjoy. And people might miss out on this good to honest Transformer toy that is as good if not better than every other standard tf on the shelves right now

I like the weapon options too. Rifle, staff, or best of all- arm cannon!
What do you think about Megatronus? I was maybe going to pick him up as well.

He is epic, it's everything thats great about leader class megs, but with a new and smart transformation, and two head options (I personally like mask, but you can get the regular one too) Definitely recommend him, you won't be disappointed

He's a good transformer but he suffers from a lack of height, predictable H tank transformation and visible head (though that last part is far from a deal breaker as it is with other TFs). I still like him, but it lacks that brilliant originality fracture has. I really feel someone's TF collection is lacking if someone doesnt get Fracture, but its not the same with Megatronus.

Oh for sure, I am glad to own him and the other Decepticons. I just wanted to give a fair assessment of the figure to people who may be apprehensive about the line as a whole. I am comparing him to all TF figures and him being comparable is in itself something to celebrate in a line aimed at kids.

- The armor pieces are all blue for each figure. The figures themselves seem unchanged
- The Mini-Cons have been redecoed and given an additional "Supreme Power" moniker, for instance "Supreme Power Ironjam".
And Overload is next!

I dig that blue armor. I just picked up the RID Overload; he is a mix of good and bad (not as bad as some would have you believe). I mount Hammer on his should and pretend its Laserbeak and Soundwave The TAV version looks nice!JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Of note he also shows off the differences between the regular sets and the Supreme Armor sets:

Hey all, I've just uploaded my video review of the Japanese version of RiD Deployer Crazybolt. Aside from me not getting the deployer gimmick to work I'm overly impressed with how great the deco looks on the Japanese one over the domestic one.

Didn't see this earlier, sorry for taking five days to reply! I think the little version is just as fun, since it essentially transforms the same exact way and you can move the elbows without fear. Plus it has a rockin' awesome clear T-Rex helmet that the T-Rex itself can wear.william-james88 wrote:Scotty P, do you find this smaller Grimlock to be as good as the Warrior class version?
Hmm, yeah, I think I like the smaller one over the Warrior class version. The Voyager is still the best so far though.

Thanks And hell yeah about that Voyager version! What I find fun about the smaller version too is that I can use it with my Legion RID figures to evoke Grimlock's size compared to his team.
