How are you liking him so far?

Just got them all transformed for the first time. Both Megatron's have something very different to love, but they are both fantastic!

I'm definitely liking Voyager Megs so far, but I probably won't get the Leader one.

Dangit, you found the deluxe.

Maybe tomorrow... maybe...

I wouldn't put him too high on the priority list. He's cool and all, but he's kinda loose and the cannon weighs him down a lot.

As for the rest of them, Twintwist is just Topspin (who was one of the better deluxes) and Misfire is pretty awesome (though not as good as Triggerhappy), but Windblade... I mean, she's good, but she's got some issues. The swords, for one, are pretty bad, and I wish they'd just given her a seat gun while still giving her a regular sword. The head is slightly wobbly (probably due to her being derived from Scourge and Highbrow), but my main issue is with the proportions. It's a combination of the really thick legs (seriously, her thighs are almost as thick as her waist) and her really skinny arms. It's not horrible, but it's really awkward.

Complaints aside, I do like her, but I really wish her legs were better proportioned.

I don't have that Megatron mold, so i have been wanting it. and my Mega-Shrine is nearly complete, so the completionist in me needs that. and the head is really cool.

And I am looking forward to that wave of TR. I like windblade for her face mainly. and Twintwist will look great with the Wreckers. and Misfire with his MTMTE crew

Yeah, Windblade's face is really nice, and Misfire and Twintwist are both excellent figures.

You won't be disappointed.

Personally, I'm really looking forward to Scorn and Nitro Zeus.

Same. Mine arrive Friday (but I'll be away) so I will get to open them next week. I am really really looking forward to Nitro Zeus. I like him a lot more than I should as a character and toy look.

And dang, did all my pre-orders time badly. They all came in within a week of each other, and then HTS got its stock in. I have like 20-25 transformers total between HTS, TFsource, BBTS, and TRU over the course of a week!

That's what I did with Godbomber. I cannot wait to combine him with Magnus

I would have pre-ordered Godbomber, but I had expected him to be in one of the 2 remaining box sets, and by the time we got word that those were cancelled, all the pre-orders were sold out. Thankfully, he's something I can live without.

He was in stock at BBTS back in July, that's how I got him. As soon as I found out we were not getting the other 2 box sets yet and Godbomber would not be with them, I bought him. 4th of July actually.

I think I looked after SDCC.

That explains it then. I needed him. It's the main reason I was so excited for Magnus Prime. I don't even know why I really got the set or wanted it in the first place (Clones completion and Metalhawk and Thunderwing probably)

I'm just excited to have a version of the PMOP mold with regular hands and ankle tilts. Those were the only two things that I wish the original had. And Metalhawk, that guy's pretty cool.

I'm glad I waited it out to get a version of the mold. I wasn't overly thrilled with the original though I like the Magnus mold, and now I will get one that can combine. That makes this whole thing so cool and anticipated by me

Magnus was pretty good, though he really needed ankle tilts and better hands.

On that we both agree, though I didn't mind his feet.

His feet just felt kinda clunky, and with how thick his legs were, it would have been nice if he had ankle tilts so he could spread out a little bit.

I loved how big the feet were. It gave him a really solid base to stand on. Still does too. But I feel you with the spread the thick legs some thing

My problems are about the same. Hands were awful, but he didn't really need ankle tilts because of the way the feet were molded. The hip ratchets were the problem, at least to me.

I suppose clunky wasn't the right word to use. I was fine with the size, but I didn't really like that they were hollow.
