no argument here, although if Shockwave had been incorporated, everyone would have complained that he looked so not G1. So tgey really can't winWhat I would like to see in Leader class coming up is a slightly larger figure that is self-incorporated. That would make me feel less trepidation about shelling out 50 smackers for a "Voyager with add-ons," which is how it feels with the Decepticon leaders at current.

Idnt it funny? A Decepticon gets a trailer (Tender) befoee G1 Prime.
Actually, thete is a thought exercise: if we got Siege Voyager Prime un a Leader Box with a trailer that did nothing more than what Astrotrain's tender did, the ONLY complaint would be "Where's Roller?" We are a fickle group.no argument here, although if Shockwave had been incorporated, everyone would have complained that he looked so not G1.

The right wrist is super loose, so he can't hold his gun straight, it always flops to one side. Also, the ratchets on his thighs are not of the same strength. One side is far weaker than the other. Are all copies like this?

I played with Shockwaves extra bits for a day or two then chunked them in the drawer of unloved accessories. Jetfire's extra parts are right next to Shockwaves "drone"

Jetfire is slumming nekked it on my MP shelf. All armored up he has more of a Generations look, but is just too damn big for my taste. He does look cool with all the gear on, but I like him just the way he is. Ultimately I'm not a fan of extra parts and accessories. Up until recently I didn't even display my figures will the their weapons.Cyberpath wrote:I actually like the extra "Jetfire" parts that came with Skyfire.

Ultimately, though, I display in robot mode so I'll be getting the Leader Class when it hits.

Interestingly enough, the Titans Return version of Astrotrain serves as a better "Cybertronian" version for the character with its military train and stylized space ship alt modes.
