Great! Just Great!
Nice and articulated. Scales with those other blokes. Neat design. Solid construction. 2nd favorite Autobot. What's not to love>
I don't even care about his deformity. Aside from sloppy hand writting, and a bad sense of direction, he has over come his HANDY cap.

Ya. The first two non mini TFs to come home with my bro and I were Bluestreak and Mirage. Esthetically Streak in my eyes has always been the model Autobot. But we've talked about this before.
My appreciation for Mags came later. I didn't have the toy as a kid, but always liked the character. I really like the armor up concept. Love the design of the robot. I have also always had a thing for second in command. Don't know why. Maybe it's a bass player thing. I mean Picard is the bomb, but isn't Rieker just a little bit cooler. With out the weight of being captain, he gets to party and get loose, but he's still in charge.

Top 5 favorite OG Autobots
1. Bluestreak
2. Ultra Magnus
3. Mirage
4. Jazz
5. Cliffjumper

The only thing cool about Ryker is his first name and his beard.

PS: Also, I did have the guts to make a top 5 G1 characters list and none of those guys are on it... sorry :-P

But keep this list for when that goes up.

Several ladies across multiple star systems may beg to differ.

Don't be. Notice I said "favorite", not "best".

Ryker is boss, beards are boss. Here let me prove how boss Ryker is.

Betcha never noticed that before!

Yeah lil Leftus is tops! I enjoyed my brief hand stuff with him ;)^

I also like the armored up option. I always played with my UM nekked.

@Cobo: So how did the bro like mini streak?

Imagine if Kirk and Riker hit the club together. Ladies beware!

He was psyched. He didn't even know how bad he needed that figure. He was especially excited Streak came with a blaster. My guess is he's hanging out with Prime Cyberverse Smokey and Prowl.

Really?! I love Mirage. IF Takara put out an MP Mirage right now, I would quit collecting MPs. (Ya Right! :-P

)

I have been eyeballing those 3Ps for some time now. I just keep playing the waiting game with Takara. The tobacco licensing has me worried though. It's kinda why I want Cocomone. Just because she IS so NOT Mirage, but is. Know what I mean?

You think that 3P is better than the other. His name sure is cool.

I finally found Megatronus. TRU emailed me a 20% off anything coupon, and I had 5 Geoffrey bucks, so he was a cool 10 dollars. I call that a Willy James day.

You guys didn't tell me he had a cockpit for his Head Master!

Woohoo Megatronus!

And lots of other things :lol:

H tanks can be real lazy, but his transformation is interesting. The way the arms form the cannon barrel, and the way the legs work is really good. He makes a great action figure in robot mode all the right articulation in the right spots. And BOY are those shoulder ratchets LOUD! YIPEE! Like Cybertron loud.

The Stumps for feet thing he has like a lot of CW guys always makes me a tad apprehensive, but as long as there is enough surface area to balance a sweet pose, I'm cool with it.

Good fig. Decent paint apps and color distribution for a Hasbro Warrior release.

But I can't help thinking he could look more evil. Ever since I did this bash, I kinda wish he looked like this.

I know 9 out of 10 Hellscreams would agree.
