I did, thanks. But I think this face will be floating around in my happiest dreams, not my nightmares.

Because you're just that kind of person.

Bulkhead look more and more appealing, after that image.
Thanks Samsonator!

BulkMAU5?

It's not a remold, it's a new mold. Prime Bulkhead has never been a deluxe before.

It's too bad we can get just a good NORMAL representation of him in deluxe size. I wonder if that tan paint is removable. ???

Oh, come on. Hasbro's not that sneaky.

Hasbro superior
Takara Inferior?

WTh is going on here...

Been like that for a while what with Takara ditching paint apps for stickers.

I like applying stickers. And to be quite frank, Hasbro's paint apps have been lacking lately as well (not as much as Takara though. Smokie had no paint other than grey and black).

Yeah, and we've been missing the hubcaps and rear windows/taillights... well, just about any paint app from halfway back on any given car or plane. Sigh.

I have had mixed feelings about the stickers. Used to be figures came with the major paint apps... and stickers just put a little detail that was too precise to be painted — mechanical panels, etc. These are putting ALL the missing paint apps. Quite a different story.

I have enjoyed those microns, though. Putting them together is way fun.

BH Smokescreen is awesome, so much better than his Arms Micron counterpart. Well done Hasbro

...-sigh-...

I like this a lot, especially the alt mode. But it's just this pet peeve I have against fake kibble. He's got fake chest kibble, and the actual kibble is on his forearms in two huge chunks.

I'd personally like to see more cohesion between the onscreen designs and the actual toys.

Other than that, he's awesome, and I'm still tempted to buy the toy.

DO. WANT.

WOW! Without all the crap on him Smokescreen looks pretty awesome. Better than the Takara version. I can't believe I just said that.

Back in the day the designer for Macros worked with Takatoku to make the transforming VF's and they were fantastic. I really think if the Has/Tak guys worked with the designers the toys would be brilliant.

Bulkhead looks too much like Man at Arms

The only characters that haven't gotten "spitting image" toy representations are Knock Out and Airachnid. Otherwise, all the other characters have been represented as accurately as they could be.

Do you think you and everyone else have the right to insult Takara just because they made that kind of SS at the time!? NO! AM SS was made because his own toy wasn't made yet. Now that said company made him in the BH toyline, you give all the crappy thanks to the lazy Hasbro!? Unbelievable!

To hell with your propaganda, Hasblow! You can't simply take Takara's like 123!

I think I'll get both. So, I guess it's safe to say Bulkhead won't be coming in Voyager class?

Kid, please stop trolling. Takara is not some picture perfect "god among men"-type company that's free from any and all criticism.

We know why Takara made their Smokescreen the way they did. Doesn't mean it's excused from proper fan critiquing or that we aren't free to express our feelings about it, be they positive or negative feelings.

Kindly grow up and let us bask in this Hasbro figure's coolness.

This is hardly Hasbro's only victory over Takara. If you'll recall, Hasbro was also the first to release Masterpiece Starscream in the proper colors.

He didn't insult Takara, he voiced his opinion. Don't like it, that's your problem. Get over it.

Because we get a stateside Smokescreen in his own mold before Japan does? Screw it, let's all move to Japan and bow before Takara's feet.

I'm quite frankly sick and tired of your bull. You force your personal opinions on other people. As Sabrblade stated, Takara isn't free from criticism; they're not gods. Now, quit bagging on everyone just because you prefer everything Takara spoon-feeds you.

Okay. You guys have had your say, please get this topic back on course. We all know where everyone stands on this issue now. And ganging up on XDMan is not allowed. Him or anyone else, for that matter.

Now, on topic...

BBTS has raised the price in just a few hours. $18.99 before the preorders went live, now $21.99 for Smokescreen and $19.99 for Ripclaw. I'm more than a little disappointed in them. And I have no problem being VERY vocal about it. I know Hasbro's been raising prices, but they haven't raised them that high. That's bull.

one thing i noticed about the starscream, don't know if anyone else did, but he's the only one being released so far that has the show-accurate red headcrest

Red headcrest - Blue missiles.

W-whoa, seriously? o_O I know retailers have to make a profit but ohhhh MAN. That's REALLY high... How much do they have the VOYAGERS up for preorder!?
