Backfire is really good. His robot mode is pretty weak, but the BFG more than makes up for it.

Ehhh, I don't know.

I bought Sandstorm. He's cool and all, but somehow, having the the human figure with him ruins it for me. I've only ever opened this one and Sideswipe for HA figures, but somehow it makes it feel much more "kiddy" or juvenile with the human than without. I dunno, maybe it's just me.

Plus, it doesn't help that the human figures SUCK. They have two big, irregular, black dots for eyes, and matchsticks for legs, lol.

I have all of the w1 but Thunderhead. I like them so far. Sandstorm's weapon mode has some issues, such as the missiles being directly beneath the human figure. The trade off being that you can make a convincing mechsuit out of him.

I hope to see this line continue, but then again, I also had high hopes for PCC.

So far I only got Backfire. Like previously said, the robot mode is weak but I bought him for his gun mode. Happily put him in gun mode and gave it to Universe Onslaught. They both fit very well. Oh, the vehicle mode is nice, too. Spike Witwicky? He is in movie 1 leader Brawl's (or Devastator) hand.

Backfire is acceptable, Icepick is probably close, too. Sandstorm is definate no, and I don't have Thunderhead.

I think so too. I had a guy on TFW tell me that he had a 10601 with unclipped fingers. But, that was only one person.

Ditto on Backfire, BFG mode is great. I modded him a little to make him look like he actually has hands, results were not worth it.

Sandstorm is great, I love his mech mode. Really good articulation in robot mode, he can hold some cool poses. He looks greta with some extra 3mm clip weapons.

I just got Icepick, the plastic feels cheap. Big-Honkin' Doom Saw of Death mode is pretty cool. His head keeps popping off tho. Maybe it's just me, but I'm getting a strong fembot vibe from this one. *shrug* I hope that doesn't say something about me...

The figures that come with them are about half the size of a GI Joe, so it will look like your Joes are riding children's toys.

Nah! pass on these, save my money for better 3rd party stuff.

I bought icepick since he was the only dotm i saw today so i got him. His robot is good but the chainsaw in my opinion is better. It looks really cool on shockwave's or megatron's arm.

THANK PRIMUS! I thought I was the only one who thought Icepick looked womanly. It's probably due to the fact that 90% of our girlbots have been motorcycles, and Icepick's vehicle has similar curves.

Mine keeps losing his head too, so it may be a mold issue.

Ya i got the fembot vibe too. If you look it looks like he has curved hips, high heel shoes and long hair( the wind sheild ) . Maybe hes the first tf cross dresser.
