Nice haul Will, those are some fun stuffs you got there.

I do like them. Its really fun to now have both Sunstreaker and Sideswipe so that the mold can enjoyed to its fullest. Currently making a list of best tf car molds ever and I feel like replacing Prime Wheeljack with this mold simply because its so innovative in what it accomplishes.

I didn't really car for that mold much, maybe mine is too loosey goosey or Red Alert doesn't do it for me.

That Hound mold is great and the #1 reason I'm skipping CW Hound, unless he goes for the cheap. I was disappoint in the Ravage he came with. He was overhyped in my head and I kept hearing how he is better than the MP. I like the MP better, but it's nice to have a second Ravage to sneak onto the Lost Light shelf.

Which OP is that? The small one that comes packed with the green Megatankatron?

Hmmmm... so which Bumblebee are you using as your "definitive" Bumblebee? I'm curious because he is my all time favorite character (only the G1 version-I don't like any other version of Bee). I have the MP version which I thought was perfect but if the classics is better than I'll have to grab one.

I'll basically repeat what others already said. It depends on what you're looking for. If you are only going to have one Bee, make it MP. If you also want a fun toy in addition to MP Bee, go pick up a version of the Classics bee mold. It's a neat and fun figure that really is the perfect size. His jet ski trailer is a lot of fun to boot. I have the later darker yellow with black stripes version. If you just want to experience the mold but not have another Bee, there is always Cliffjumper


And let's round this out with a "haul" of my own. I nabbed the TM Crashbash today.



So far this is my favorite TM of the bunch. The integration of the TM into the dino mode is not only awesome but super fun. Mad props to all the sculpted details like the teef on the legs - good job hasbro



Oh, hey there little guy. What's that you say? You just want to give everyone hugs with your cute lil t-rex arms?



Well, go on then! I've renamed him into Barneybash I was only going to get one of each TM mold, but I may pick up Clobber now.

yeah its him and he is terrible. easily one of the crappiest Optimus toys out there, there is no effort done with his legs transforming and it looks awkward as all hell.

As for Hound, I did get the CW one for ultra cheap (less than 7$) but I do think he works better as a tough guy than the Universe version. Universe hound is just too cute looking:


Transformers Universe - Classics 2.0 Hound Gallery

CW looks a bit more tough, though still very friendly

Also, CW Hound can do that shoulder mounted gun trick

And I agree about ravage, I am a bit dissapointed that he comes with 0 casete details, but the transformation is fun. I do think the MP is better, at least for casette mode. And definitely his eyes. Still glad I have this ravage though, these are toys I wanted as part of my collection and toys I just wanted to try out myself.

Universe Hound can also do the shoulder mount. It's what that little L clip on his gun is for.

Universe Hound calls...

[Kurona]

I think it's the shape of the head and eyes. Universe Hound's head is a little bit more rounded and he's relatively wide-eyed while CW Hound has a classic box-head with slanted eyes. That's probably what makes the latter look tougher.

[galvatron00]

I'm glad everyone is picking up some great CHUG figures, but I'm not gonna lie, you're all giving me the regrets.

It sucks when you realize how awesome a figure is when you are transforming it in to alt mode to send it to its new owner!!

Dang it, now I want Sunstresker again.. He's easily the best version of the character we've ever got!

My Universe Hound has the loosest hips ever. Loser than TR Skullcrunchersmasher!

[william-james88]

Also, someone had asked about how Classics BB looks in a collection and I just found this pic on facebook which would give a good idea:



And Universe Hound's face reminds me of my kid's, so cute and innocent and kinda chubby.

[Cobotron]

Yup! Dead ringer!




Sorry Will. I couldn't resist. I agree that Uni Hound's face is ultra cutsie, but your little one has him beat by miles.
And happy belated B-Day little Willma-Jamie! Hope the trek to two is a fun one.
Same goes to you old man.

[william-james88]

That is super cute!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Cobo!!

[Kurona]

Just in time for Halloween.

HA!

Finally got my hands on TAV Armor Strongarm!



This is the defenitive version of her. That bot mode is PERFECT and she actually look female, just like in the show. However, the vehicle is ackward looking. I didnt really care for the minicon nor the armor, but it's actually very fun and make one ridiculous but badass looking weapon!

A bit expensive, yes, but well worth it.

Very nice! Didn't even know that existed.. I'm still tempted to pick up the Hasbro release and the Reprolabels.. Probably $20USD total? I know I've seen the warrior class for sub $10 on Amazon.

Thanks for all the opinions on CHUG BB! I have the MP Bumblebee and love him but that chug does look very nice. I may have to get the Cliffjumper version.
I wish I could get all MPs and CHUGs but due to cost I've been picking at both. I find that they mix very well together. I'm working on grabbing Universe Sunstreaker and CW Skylynx through Ironhidensh, still waiting on a response but hopefully it works out. I love Sideswipe and Sunstreaker but especially Sunstreaker. I really want to get the Red Alert version as well but since I'm gonna get MP Inferno I kind of have to get MP Red Alert to go with him.

... actually, that's a pretty good idea and way to go about this that I'm surprised none of us thought of.
That way you get to try out the mold and see if you like it - but even if you don't like it for Bumblebee, this way it's a representation of a different character so you haven't wasted your money. Win-win.

[shajaki]

Nice Kan! If you're feeling limber, you should take a pic of her next to a standard Warrior Class. I'm interested to see how she scales

[Dagon]

Yesterday my wife got me Titans Return Wolfwire, or Weirdwolf, if you go with the better, not stupid name.

[william-james88]

Another day, another haul. This time from the thrift shop where I got all this for less than $4



This is all I wanted though:



The rest will be sold for cheap or given away.

If this was but a few years ago I would be hardcore raging at you lol
While I'd much prefer him in his Galvatron deco, I would adore having that Megatron

[Bumblebee21]

is that the doctor from rotf

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I too would adore that Megatron.

We really need thrift shops like that down here

It's Scalpel, that little bug from ROTF.
