Too bad the Deluxe Gears didn't come in that blue. Intersting line. Wonder how it will do.

"Mask crusaders,
Working all the time, fighting crime, fighting crime!
Secret raiders, who will neutralise, as soon as they arrive,
Trekker's gonna lead the mission,
And Spectum's got such super vision,
M-m-m-MASK!
Is the mighty power that can save the day,
m-m-m-MASK!
No-one knows what lies behind their masquerades!
M-m-m-MASK!
Always riding on Venom's trail,
Come see the Laser Rays,
Fly away!
:KREMZEEK:

I love the pictures of the robot mode heads on the packaging. Insult to injury there.

1. Most awesome use of the MASK theme since the show ended.
2. Its Trakker, not Trekker, but I'll forgive you
3. I might buy this line JUST FOR the now MASK homage they'll make me think of.

4. How the hell is Megatron Stealth Force?

by **Daddycon** » Fri Jul 09, 2010 9:30 am

I was thinking MASK as well. Maybe they should just rebrand it for what it is.

LOL, all I can remember is me sitting on the floor staring at the TV, and holding my Centurions' Ace McCloud figure (cause he was the best...although, the other dude with the mustache always reminded me of Magnum P.I) but anyways holding Ace on one hand and Trekker (not trakker lol) on the other as the M.A.S.K theme came on and they would save the day along with ol' Optimus Prime...man those are some great nostalgic memories...TREKKER FOR PRESIDENT! (may be he can find a solution to the BP spill!) :lol:

Interesting, if misused idea. I would LOVE it if they made TF's that did this in robot mode and were able to transform as well...something like the Cybertron line's hidden weapons gimmick, but on a large scale like these Speed Stars.

by **Desmobot** » Fri Jul 09, 2010 9:41 am

I guess Megatron would be the only really stealthy one. A tank with guns wouldn't make you say, "Gee, what's wrong with this...AH! It's got guns!!!"

Megatron: I'm just a tank.
Random Guy: But you have guns that pop out when i push *here*
Megatron: I'm stealth tank, don't push! *click, pop, spin* AHHHHHH!!! Now people can see me for what I REALLY am. Drat!
RG: *pulls tab* STFU Megatron
Megatron: not stealth?
RG: No
Megatron: *weeps in corner*

Transformers that don't transform.....pass.

Kinda defeats the purpose IMO.

I'll be getting Inferno - def a bit of wish fulfillment on my part. So many countless times I've wished I had something with which to blast the idiots who pull out in front of me when going code 3... ahhhhh, sweet catharsis.

I hear ya there. Do people even know what the lights and sirens are for anymore? It seems it just means to speed up so you don't have to pull over for them. The OTHER idiots are the ones who tailgate us on a call. We've actually been rear ended 5 times this year alone.

by **kookaburra** » Fri Jul 09, 2010 12:38 pm

Last shift I had some dude in a jacked up pick up trying to LOOK IN THE BACK WINDOW while we were going to the hospital code 1. (I'm in the last part of my paramedic internship, so I don't get to drive the ambulance yet, just the engine and brush rig at the dept. where I volunteer.) :BOOM:

I've seen soooooo many almost-crashes behind us (I ride in the airway seat on the way to calls) when people who did pull over pulled out again without looking. :BANG_HEAD:

Awesomesauce.

If this line works out, they may just pull out a real M.A.S.K. line I'm going to try and gets these definitely. So Prime also has hidden guns?

How about a ROTF Sideswipe that tuns into a plane? Homage 2 things in one.

So awesome.

Bunch of whiney fan boys.

I like 'em, I think they're going to be great for my four year old nephew. He loves TF's, he loves cars, he loves having little "battles" with his TF's, these are perfect for him. AND I don't have to put up with him coming to me all the time and asking "can you transform my HA Bumblebee which my non-thoughful mother and grand-mother bought for me?"

I hear that! My family loves to buy my nephews the level 3 and 4 transformers. I buy them the smaller dudes and the easy stuff. They love them because they are easy to transform. You've definitely got a valid point there.

Which is why some fanboys need to remember that TF's need to appeal to more than just the older kids/adults.

Cyber Slammers were okay, Bumper Battlers were fun, and Gravity Bots are bloody awesome for the younger kids. And because of all them my nephew absoloutely loves TF's!

I have no doubt that him and his imagination will have a field day with these guys.
