I'd rather have my symbols right side up in robot mode, but that's just me

Obviously I prefer them upside-down in bot mode as I find it to be the "more" toon accurate way (even though they're seen both ways, the more consistent way seemed to be upside-down), but what drives me nuts is that they do them differently between figs. I could contently live with it if they did them all the "wrong" way, but I don't dig the mix... But I suppose you could say they're just being toon accurate by being inconsistent.

I would...then I'd just buy another one for the 800 or whatever they're going for everywhere else these days!

Like buying the 07 movie Arcee and having the 09 movie version come out completely different? or buying the yellow rampage only to have the red version come out months later? Dirty work Hasbro if you ask me. but thats my opinion?

I'm effin' pissed! I just forked out for the friggin' KO and this is how Hasbro repays me?!?

Nope, can't retire it just yet. There's a KO Sunstorm floating around out there and Hasbro has to shoot it down and release an official one. That and bring Acid Storm back for a second run since I missed picking him up the first time around.

Get one, I highly reccomend the figure. Great quality. See my review on the KO and 3rd part forums. And forget the camoflauge Acid Storm. These guys are gonna drop a set of the Rainmakers in G1 colors using the same mold.

Please stop, you're making my wallet weep.

Was slowly saving up for him on Ebay perhaps. But this came as a great relief that I can pick him up for $10-13 dollars vice whatever I had to bid on Ebay.

So my question is....... do you feel cheated if you bought the botcon version? Or no?

To be honest when I first heard they were releasing Thrust I did have a WTF moment, but Hasbro has basically said that exclusive means whatever they want it to so there ya go. I will say that the quality of Generations Thrust and Dirge is 100x better than the Bot-Con set I have and in the end, that's all that matters.

I agree. I am extremely picky about some things (especially the symbols), and I'm big on cartoon accuracy, so I can certainly understand how it could bug people. In this case though, I'm okay with it. I actually like them right-side up in robot mode, and to me the symbols look more aerodynamic in jet mode this way.

I've got henkei too but I'm getting him.

Preordered at bbts. Cannot wait!

I have this pre-ordered even though I own a legit Henkei TC.
The Henkei version has too many QC issues, it has almost the same issues as the version 1 KOs (the pre CHMS KOs).

Or buy some reprolabel symbols and paste them over the tampos. They were stickers on the original, so you'd just be making it more authentic!
