Agreed. But, it's bad enough I'm doing a "Classics" GoBots run, I don't think I can handle a Diaclone run too...

You must dread the upcoming Takara Machine Robo Line then.

Indeed. So far no BBTS preorders, so my wallet is doing okay....

I want to like this guy. I want to have a Generations-style Dai Atlas, too, but I'm hesitant. The thing that used to bug me about FP's style is that it's very busy: very panel-y, Studio Ox-type of detailing, which doesn't always match up with official CHUG figures. It's why I never bit on Intimidator. Thing, is, I'm coming around to it, partly because the Intimidator 'bots still have nice-looking vehicle modes. This guy kind of has a "robo-yoga" alternate mode, which happens a lot with spaceship 'bots. It's like any time a Gundam figure "transforms;" it's supposed to be a ship, but it just looks like the robot's grabbing its crotch with its feet up by its shoulders. This guy is a lot like that, but I want to want him, so I don't know...
