I concur. To date, this is the best Dinobot you can get.
The fact that the horrible deluxe Cheetor is from the same line is a bit baffling.

I got meself a CW Powerglide, He is pretty spiffy. He could snap together a little tighter in Jet mode, but he is still dope. I will totally buy Viper so that they can dogfight,

Scored Classics Astrotrain on eBay for an incredibly reasonable price of $24, which is the cheapest I've seen it go for. After winning the bid, I immediately saw the Astrotrain from the Decepticon Specialist pack for like nine bucks. :BANG_HEAD:

Saturday can't get here quick enough!

Windblade, top to bottom, is garbage.

You think she should be part of this discussion?

Yeah, I do. For something that was supposed to be a capstone of sorts to the wildly underwhelming 30th anniversary charade, she's wholly a letdown.

I think she is cool, but I also had mine come with a lot of QC issues. I don't know if it is something I can hold against the design and fun value of the concept, but it certainly takes away from the experience I have had. I haven't attempted to transform her again because I know when I do that I will have to put a bunch of work into making her better (clipping off excess flash, tightening certain joints etc.) but, conceptually, I like the design and the toy has potential.

Picks up a generations cosmos at wallyworld today. I really can't say enough good about the generations legends line. I feel Hasbro really got their head in the game. I'm very impressed.

Another fun haul including part 2 of my three part venture into the world of Takara's Beast Wars Neo.

Sweet WJ! Is my neck safe? :lol:

(inside joke) Those are my two favorite Neos.
Why another Megs? If you don't mind.

Actually your neck is safe but all due to Cohrada, who is awesome (and so hard to spell right). These two have just too much kibble, but the designs are interesting.

And my other megs wore out after transforming it too much (screws, tabs and pins being loose) so I will sell it locally to recoup some costs and keep he minty new one for my collection.

You are usually not the kind to buy any repaints because you find useless to pay for the same mold twice. You are also usually a wise spender who look for the best deals possible.

So, the question is, why ANOTHER Megatron?

Check out window. See THIS.

Oh.

EDIT
Sigh... I took too long to search for an animated version of THIS.

Make sense. And also, it convince me to NEVER buy it.

Ii told you they were kibbly, but c'mon that stout little triceratops is an awesomely tuff warrior, right? And Longrack is worth it for that head sculpt alone.

The headsculpt is pretty awesome and I quite like the challenge of his transformation. Its a great beast mode too.

That was actually how mine came, back in the day. I was so disappointed with it that I sold it after just a couple of weeks. I was going to buy a new one a month or so back, but then I discovered the third party offerings, and now I think I will go that route.

Only had time to open powerglide, Friday was a busy day (I had to go to the DMV). Powerglide's a fun little guy! Im hoping for some downtime soon, since I've heard that blackjack and strongarm are great as well.

I do like Powerglide. I wish mine's legs snapped together a little more firmly. I love how his arms and wings work. They rock.

Picked up Blackjack at my local TRU. Kinda wish his shoulders were higher up and I wish he'd sit further in Menasor's chest cavity, but overall I'm happy.

Not sure if this counts...but my haul was Headmaster, Victory, Masterforce DVD sets and TF Prime game for WiiU.
Energon Meg's arrived yesterday and he is awesome, kind small for a leader in bot mode. Can't help but think he suffers from Napolean syndrome and it makes me laugh when I twist the canon and hear "Decepticons, Attack!" In his voice.
