Target employees:
A. Learn the **** to read. If it says don't put it out. Don't!
B. Learn a thing or two from Attendant 2. Smile, be kind, and offer the customer the next viable option.
Thank you Attendant 2. I appreciate you.

So... with my experience + Sentinel Primal's friend being unable to buy Springer... did they just outright stop any Siege Voyagers from being sold at all until 10/06????

The Bot mode is awesome, I love his blocky but streamlined proportiin, I think he has one of the best weapons loadouts in mainline Siege with a really cool Rocket Launcher, although I do wish it had an articulated handle and could aim up, I like the Transformation and how all the wheels and stuff flip flop places, and despite the caveat that it is a really sucky race car, I like the car mode. To me, it has a lot more in common with a Dragster than the F1 Racer he id trying to mimic, and I almost wish they went more into that motif knowing the comptomises made to the car, but they woulda been lambasted for that too so its a lose-lose. The transparent legs are a thing, buts not overly noticablr bring such a dark colorso I like it.

The way things are going I'm guessing the third part will be movie based or later meaning a return to Cybertronian/futuristic alt modes. Whether they did Earthrise now or as the third part with some planet hopping in between they were always going to do Earth based line as part of the trilogy. And really, was anyone expecting mini Masterpieces? I'm very happy with the progression of War for Cybertron.

And I found something interesting: the product codes for the Battle Masters and Apeface are in the same region as the Earthrise Wave 1 codes E71**, while the rest are past that with E82**. Pulled up maybe?
