Bleck.
While some of us out there like the movie designs, I've seen power rangers I'd rather buy with my money than these things.
I only plan to buy Voyager Prime, cos he got pazazz, but I won't be buying any of the others.
This is gonna be a great summer. I'll plenty of money to use for catching up on ones I've missed and want from previous series, and cos of the movie hype tfs will be much easier to find. After all, pretty much all shops are gonna wanna ride the waves when this movie hits.

DO NOT WANT.

I thought this one WAS the deluxe size...i guess we were wrong...which is good. I don't think Frenzy is going to end up being a deluxe size- he's to spindly for that. I'd wager he ends up a Voyager or Ultra size so kids can role-play with him...

I bought both Protoforms, and own 3 of the Voyagers.
Many others have purchased movie figures.
Please don't speak for all of us, blanket statements suck.

Ditto, i am really looking forward to shopping my brains out this summer!

It'll be a cold day in hell before I get movie Screamer or Megs, but some of the others look good.

When it comes to product marketing, our dollars are our vote. I have seen some intresting thing on the horizon, and some things that I just wont invest in. If we buy the crap, the folks making it will just make more. If we leave it on the shelf, they will work harder in the future to get said dollar(and then we can get this stuff up on clearance).

I for one realy enjoy the bot modes on the protoforms and am happy that I got them.

Other figures like Megatron are very intresting, even though I agree that he isn't a typical Megatron. But I have my own collection and imagination, and when I get this figure, much like my RID Megatron, he will be called something else and I'll create my own backround story for him.

BotCon did the same thing last year with their PreBeast Wars exclusives, so why can't I?

But what it all boils down to is individual taste, you don't have to get something just beacause they slap "TRANSFORMERS" on the box. And if you feel that need to and it's not for a higher purpose(such as a site like this) please seek help.

I'm looking forward to Ultimate Bumblebee. And whatever Prime and Megatron is the biggest.

Frenzy...I don't really like this one, but then, it's really hard for these toys to live up to the movie designs.

Maybe a bigger size will be better.

I don't perticularly care for it. I like some of the movie designs but for once I'm not collecting the line.

Nope,... still looks like s***.

I'm not so interested on this figure. However I grew to like most movie designs.

by **OptimusShr** » Sun May 13, 2007 11:45 am

Boom Box mode is OK, Robot mode, blah.

I'll stick with the one that comes with Barricade.

I might get this one just 'cause it's the first TF with a disk launcher I've seen in ages. On the other hand, I might not, since this is my least favorite of the movie designs. Some I like, some are ugly, but this one I actually find unnerving. Hopefully I'll get used to it...

Still, this is the ugliest Transformer I've ever seen in my entire life.

Seriously.

LOL this thing should have sex with Starscream and see what other F-ed up robot comes out

Didn't they already do this in Cyberteon?

Okay.....

by **Dclone Soundwave** » Sun May 13, 2007 12:20 pm

All these Movie toys really want us to believe the TF's really are alien lifeforms. I'm sold. These robot modes are somethingelse though. I got 6 of 'em yesterday & the best one ouuta all of e'm was Barricade. The rest didn't have real arms or anything. These are really weird.................I miss the old solid fists......

It's an improvemnt on his movie design, still the only Movie Tf I hate. And the only figure we know if is that he's a bonus with the cop car con.

I'm tmepted to get him though, to go with G1 Blaster, and possibly repaint. (ANd glue into Boombox mode)

Well except for Prime and may be Blackout, the movie toy line is shapping up to be pretty crapy.

Ok, moving past the hatred I feel for the Frenzy movie design, OH MY FREKIN GODS! They took a terrible design and made it worse...

Ok, the movie design's not exactly ugly, just weird, however this... thing... is ugly.... really ugly. How did they make it so terrible?

Hopefully they'll make a deluxe, and make it better...
