As we get closer to the release of the next instance of Transformers Live Action Movie, we'll probably be seeing "new" offerings from the past, hopefully that's when we'll see Soundwave and Que from Transformers 3 or even Human Alliance Topspin.

Wow, just WOW. Part of me is really surprised that this set is still available.

Most of me, however, is very much NOT suprrised. Put that thing on sale, TRU, then maybe we'll talk. :lol:

I really wish Dotm Voyager Optimus wasn't so awful. I mean, it's not the worst mold ever by any means, it's just...meh. The arms in particular are REALLY annoying, what with all the forearm kibble that keeps him from holding Laserbeak's gun easily with normal elbows (though it's very possible, as I have mine displayed that way). Granted, Deluxe Laserbeak easily makes up for the weaknesses of Prime alone, as together they just look AMAZING.

In any case, I wouldn't buy the mold again at that price, though I do want Dotm Shockwave. I don't have Dotm Bee either, and that deco is pretty nice. Again though, not unless it's on deep discount.

That set was on TRU shelves fall of 2011 I believe.

My local TRU had these warming the shelves up until last Christmas.

The only interesting figure in that set was Shockwave, the rest were meh at best. It does show Bumblebee right before his "Murderbee" phase.

Cookies are done, btw, you can grab one if you get the reference.
