Not digging Magnus there, he's too...baby blue. The hammer micron is alright, and that sword combo is completely insane. xD

I have to admit, I didn't think Leo Prime was going to turn out well, but he looks decent; still needs a new head though. Micron Moon is great though.

Old fasioned games!
And new fashioned friends!
Come on everybody this is Ta-ble Flip!

Here's a blog post detailing AM Shockwave, complete with comparisons with Gen. Shockwave. Yes, the AM one is lighter, but the lighting is bad on some of the images.

Than you so much ! Thats exactly what I needed to see ! That G1 cartoon purple is what I want. Pre-order kept !

Please post comparison shots soon of both UM figs soon! His AMW is much better as a war-hammer rather then a gun IMO. I know a lot of fans hate the application of decals in the AM series but for a G1 fan like me it gives me a dose of nostalgia when I get a new Arms Micron TF every time. I can't wait to get this guy!

AM Magnus looks pretty great with stickers applied, but he got the short end of the stick when it comes to weapons (lol). I can happily stick with the Hasbro version.

I'm not a big Beast fan but Leo Prime looks pretty badass. The color scheme's a lot more dynamic than Thundertron's.

Motto: "Motive is a universal weakness."

I'll admit the Micron does look better as a hammer than the Powerizer weapon, but it's still kind of puny. I'm not really a fan of that shade of blue plastic either. I'll be sticking to Hasbro's (just as soon as I find it. Managed to pick up Dreadwing from my local Argos yesterday so fingers crossed.)

Leo Prime looks really good, but I'm not sure I like that mold in those colours enough to justify a purchase.

I like how Takara went with a more G1-accurate bright blue on Magnus:

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I am that which is, which was, and is yet to come.

And you will know my name is MEGATRON when I lay my vengeance upon you!

Thank you, at least someone else can see this.
