Thirdeded.



Anyway, the Robot Heros are awesome. My son has gotten Rodimus, Shrapnel, Shockwave (my personal fav of the line), Grimlock, Soundwave, BB, UMag and Megs, and I haven't seen a problem yet.

I've got Booster X10 (a.k.a. Classics Laserbeak) and Longview, and think they are great as well. No problems. I look forward to the phone Decepticon repaint as well.

I got that robot heroes Starscream...odd I don't think of it as Movie, but I think they are so cute. I nearly got others...I would have had I had the $$$ for it.

Picked up Movie Voyager Starscream, and I'm actually impressed with it (though the automorph makes me groan a bit...).

Grabbing the FAB version tomorrow.

I still don't find the robot modes of the starscreams pretty, but the fab is fun.

I kicked my completionist habit years ago (thank goodness), but I'm going to get all the Robot Heroes line. By far my favorite group of figures so far in the myriad assortments.

I recommend the Zoom Out/Video Camera Real Gear guy. His hands could be better, but his robot mode has lots of character. Spy Shot, the camera guy, also looks much better in person, though I'd like him better if he was a 'Con.

And while this may be heresy, I also gotta chime in and say that the Leader Prime is one of the better ones. Alot more poseable than Cybertron Prime or Armada Prime, and certainly more visually pleasing than Energon Prime. I can't decide if I like him as much as RID Prime...RID has the better look, but Movie Prime has him beat almost everywhere else. He's no MP, but he definitely holds his own.

Heheh, I am a character completist... its a pain in the aft, but I seem to enjoy it. Which counts

Soundwave's the only character I collect, so I blame him for the initial Robot Heroes purchase. And then I was like "You know, I could use a Shrapnel, and hey Megatron looks good, too, and Hey! there's Shockwave and Grimlock in the same pack and..."

Usually I just Transform a fig a couple times and then put it on the display shelf. The Robot Heroes inspired me to play with them. Way too much fun, especially Megatron pointing and laughing at Ultra Magnus.

all i have so far is blackout, wreckage, bonecrusher, and booster x10 and the only issue ive had is with blackout's automorph feature and it works just with a few extra clicks still have a lot of love for all the designs though.

I'm lovin' these new movie toys. Like some people, I was definitely skeptical of the move modes, but they're growing on me. The Ironhide has been quite the surprise for me. I hated him, and now he's my favorite. I love the automorph feature on him too. Jazz rocks, no pun intended. Leader Optimus Prime is fantastic. I love the automorphing feet, and the blue eyes that turn yellow when he's transformed. Best of both worlds for a G1 fanboy. Blackout awesome, and his robot mode is just awesome. I like Bumblebee very much, and Boncrusher rocks! I have yetto get the real gears and Ratchet, but they look great too.

If there's one problem it's the twistie tie things. It delays Transformers fun

I can understand why the boxed toys have them... But really, do the carded figures really need them? Beast Ears seemed to get along just fine without them early on, and even later there were nevr more than one or two...

I don't get he carded version tfs having them either. The G1 tfs had none. All because someone stole one form the store.

Power up Vt6 Has had no Problems yet. my Movie Ironhide is doing VERY Good.

I want to go out looking for toys tomororw, but I think it'll be a death wish with my husband... hmmmm.

I swear there are a few people on this site, some of them with thousands of posts to their credit that should have been banned a long time ago.

SpacerAM is acticng just like them.

This is a positive thread, a respite from all of the other negative threads. This is the whole point.

The point which SpacerAM has been missing.

I quote: Jealous you don't have a thousand posts yourself Galvatron? It looks like you are since you have only 400+ posts.

Dude, I am much harder to get at than you think.

So please, go to TFans.com, their boards are at your mental level.

That's all I'll say.

As a member of Tfans, and Seibertron, bashing one or the other seems a bit unnecesary.

I digress.

I'm still enjoying my figures, though my new OP figure had its flaw. Though i think the arm problem is a manufacturing error thats widespsread. Still, GREAT toys.

I disagree, you simply spend more time transforming the package.

Hopefully getting either Starscream or Megatron today. Waiting for the movie to come out before deciding on Ironhide & Ratchet.
Nothing but love so far!

Ratchet is probably the best figure of them all.

yeah, and I am biased against hummers.

Well, I'm certainly not.

Wow, some fans really are never happy.

I still like my movie toys, and after work today am going to hopefully pick up a Prime and Wreckage. Everyone has Wreckage except for me.

And I am still preaching the coolness of Deluxe Barracade and FAB Brawl.

Transforming the package. That's a good way to lok at it.

Oh, and MoralWarfare, it was not directed at you, so no offense my man.

That board just seems so juvenile to me. Just my opinion.

That is why I prefer Seibertron to all the other boards. It is (usually!) more mature here.

Back on topic: Leader Megatron and Leader Prime are both pretty large, and both feel well-built...no problems with them so far.

All the Robot Heroes
Dlx Brawl
Dlx Bonecrusher
Dlx Barricade
Dlx Blackout

...I just noticed that every movie toy I have so far begins with the letter B. By default I have to get Bumblebee next.

If you want to work around the problems with Brawl's shoulders and Barricade's stupid punching gimmick (and his balljoint feet), dab a little superglue on their joints. In Brawl's case it hasn't been 100% perfect, but at least they attempt to stay in place now.

Interesting role reversal.

Amazingly, my girlfriend didn't throw a fit the other day when I came home with 3 new Transformers. I think it helped that I bought her clothes.

Grabbed FAB Starscream today. I love that thing...only transformer I can 100% transform at a redlight! (if your out and about, beware!)

He does laundry too while I do the housework and any repairs. I saw a Barrel Roll Blaster...I need to beg...

This might be a stupid question, but is unleashed Bumblebee poseable?
