(More photos here.)

Seriously, it feels, looks, poses and transforms amazingly. Right arm is slightly looser than left, but still tight. Could be nice to store all weapons in bot mode. But then, why would you?

Need to decide about stickers. :-?

How are these? I'm quite partial to the mold. The black Sideburn is basically the same red bot underneath, right?

Also... I just noticed you've been here at the forums since way back in 2002! That's amazing, man! Cheers.

I'm quite a fan of G2 Sideswipe-from-Sideburn.

He's the best under-$15 dollar Transfomer of last year! I got mine for $13.

Really? I've never seen, or heard of that one. Do you have any images?

Universe Sideburn is an homage to G2 Sideswipe, red front bumper and all. It's not the most perfect homage, since it's all just Super Sideburn on the inside, but I like it.

I know, right? I'm not really a fan of the Prime series (the show or the toys) other than a select few toys, and I thought there was no way in hell I'd ever buy this thing. But, a $50 figure for $12? You can't not buy it. And his stock photos don't do him justice at all.

Oh! I see what you mean. Thank you for clarifying that for me. Do you have the clear Speedbreaker?

My local Walmart has BH deluxes for 5 bucks a pop. So I said screw it and bought one of each.
Bulkhead, Ratchet, Prowl, Dreadwind, Starscream and Arcee.

In other news, my collecting got to the point that I completely unintentionally bought my first double in BH Arcee :lol:

my tru had BH on sale for $6 if i recall... i broke down and bought starscream and smokescreen. i cant believe im complaining about a $6 tf, but i regret buying stascream. hes like a uglier simpler first edition starscream. and smokescreen i bought only because i wanted prowl and have yet to find him. and he's meh... plastic feels cheap. id still buy prowl if i saw him.

Finally found Cyberverse Beast Hunters Ultra Magnus and Bludgeon at my local Walmart! They only had ONE of each... at 11$ plus taxes. Yeah, they're expansive as hell but I now KNOW not to wait for a sale on the last wave of Cyberverse figures. I waited for the last wave of Cyberverse DOTM to be on sale and I missed them all.

So yeah, the two repaints/remolds I was eagerly awaiting are MINE! I passed on the only Cyberverse BH Unicron Megatron because there's no new remolding. Just a brown megs.

after sifting through piles and piles of unwanted beast hunters, i finally found a prowl!

he is one of... i think 4(?) prime figures i own, and probably the only one i was anticipating. and he looks sweet! id say snatch him up if you can find him!

Robotech SDF-1 (Matchbox 1/3000 Version)

My Animated Jazz has just arrived.

I now have my anti-TFA Stunticons. Voyager Optimus, EG Jazz, Rodimus, Lockdown, and Arcee. That would be a weird, yet badass combiner.

Now if my 3P G1 Arcee gets here, I'll be happy.

"3P G1 Arcee"?
Which one is it? Is it Delicate Warrior? If yes, nice choice. For me, this is the defenitive Classic Arcee.

Lol, I was too lazy to dig through my Photobucket and instead I searched Google... MY picture was in the firsts results!

Also, congrats for getting Animated Jazz. That TF is AMAZING.
