Combination of Bdays and luck has meant I was back on the buying trail...
Classics Acid Storm who I love, but has every edge and joint sharp and jagged.
Classics Ironhide, a bday gift from the fiancee and who I like for not cutting my hands while transforming...
Classics Hound who is just a joy to behold, and whose Ravage makes my Soundblaster happy.
Finally Classics Cyclonus, who is in my bag, in his plastic prison untill I get all my paperwork sorted, only then to I see how good he is...

TRU DarkwinG and Countdown and RH Irohide, Blaster, Kickbak, Thrust, Silerbolt and TM Megatron.
Darkwing is excellent, a perfect combination of mould and colours making a cool G1 homage. My only complaint would be that he makes GoD Dreadwind look a bit small in comparison.
Countdown I'm less impressed with than I thought I'd be. I'd still like to see the CD Red Alert mould used again in a camo/military colour scheme to round out my Battle Patrol (TRU Wingblade = Sunrunner, Uni Overload = Flakk, GoD Springer = Sidetrack with a potential CDRA repaint as Big Shot). That would mean two of the same mould amongst my 'Classics Micromasters' but would be the first full patrol that I complete.

Picked up two voyager class figures today.
U2.0 Overload to help build a Universe incarnation of the Cybertron Defense team, since all 3 molds from the team in Cybertron are used. (Already have Roadbuster from the target comic packs, now I just want Countdown.) Oddly, while Overload is considered "Cybertron series" on the side of his box, he doesn't have a counterpart in the series. I'd think of him as a post Energon reformat of Armada Overload (who was repainted into Ultra Magnus in Energon, as I remember), but the tech spec numbers don't match that incarnation. (This is easily justified by the "Cybertron series" mark on the box; I'm just pointing out that 100% of the time before this, all U2.0 figures that have the 25th anniversary mark on the package that I've bought share the tech spec numbers with the character they're based on. The reason the "Cybertron series" mark justifies that changing in this case is that Overload didn't appear in Cybertron, that I know of. He was barely present as a toy in Enrgon...)
Animated Blitzwing to finish my trio of Decepticon Triple Changers. Why do figures have to be packaged this way? I broke off one of his legs taking him out of the box. Don't worry if you've been planning to buy this one and haven't yet: the breakage that occurred with me is easily fixed because the piece that came off is actually designed to come off and reattach easily just for things like this. It's just a needless bother that I feel is worth pointing out.

My vote for the HOF goes to my favorite Transformer, Kup, to the Headmasters (who still need new figures that aren't just the characters without their master components) and to seibertron.com for for being the ultimate TF resource.

Picked up Samurai Prowl today. Last TFA fig I need until the next wave hits. I thought his armor was going to be a pain in the arse but was surprisingly fun to mess with. The hip joints are tighter than the wave 1 prowl as well. All around a nice figure!

Picked me up a Universe Legends Wheelie & Warpath. Pretty awesome, though as usual I wish they had elbow joints and better knee articulation.
That said, I really love both of their transformations, for such small figures they're pretty intricate. One improvement could be made to Warpath: his turret appears to be able to turn, but the front chest-plate part gets in the way. If it could turn so the gap between the tracks was in the back, it would look more like a proper tank.
But these are both really awesome updates of G1 figures!

Hey guys. I'm new here.
Anyway, here's what arrived in the mail today for me.
Cybertron Armorhide. Great mold, and cute figure. He is REALLY small.
Henkei Dirge. Beautiful figure. I really like the blue and white stripes.
Henkei Thundercracker. Also great. I heard about quality control issues, and was a bit worried. But luckily, the only issue I had was the null ray pegs being too small for the arms, and that's an easy fix.
My Henkei thrust just shipped, and I can't wait for him to arrive so I can complete my classics seekers!
Those seekers are the most I've ever spent on toys, and I fear I'm on a slippery slope and will only get worse.

MP-03 Starscream and this thing kicks arse! honhestly what everyone said about this guy was utter crap! He is sturdy and well i cant stand him up but meh, the colours are amazing for the miltiary theme and the thing what was wrong when i got him was his box was battered 
and he was missing his stickers and repolabels have stopped selling , but anyway one of only second hand figs and hes beautiful, their may be some warpped plastic on a certain hinge but ill check him out with a mag glass, and for just £45,m if he breaks its not the worst thing in the world for that much.
Binaltech hound if i havnt already mentioned him, fantastic figure MISB, bargin and will enjoy for the upcommin years a total favourite mold including alt swindle. £27.50 Bargin or what!
And sadly WST what i was hoping to be megs, prime or red alert turned out to be thrust but it was a gamble and hey hes a con, and 7 quid was fun gamble
