LEGO constraction FTW!!! Vader is next for me.

He's pretty good. Only thing I don't like is that the torso seems kinda elongated.

As for my next one, that'd probably be Jango.

VADER!!!

Also, how about them Bengals? First team since the 39 Eagles to go the first 8 quarters of the year at home without a TD

He's a pretty nice build. I'd recommend him if you're into this sort of thing.

Awwwwwww yeah!!

I'm having the regrets passing on that guy. He'd be great for a random Titan Master!! I saw Thunderwing on him, AMAZING!!

For now, I would say that Scorn is the better of the two, but that may change once I have more time with them.

For me, Nitro Zeus will be his own guy. Nary a Thunderwing going in his neck slot.

I don't know why,
but the Bayverse Dinobots don't appeal to me at all. I mean, they look like they do in the movies but something just seems off for me..Jets always win my favor. Always.

ALL HAIL NITRO ZEUS

Well, I'll never have the Thunderwing TM so it'll never happen! Maybe I'll pick up Nitro as a birthday present to myself, along with other items in the toy variety

Most of the Movie Dinobots weren't that good anyway. I got all of the AOE ones except for Snarl and Slog, but the only ones I even like are Scorn and Strafe. This guy blows those two out of the water with his ankle tilts and wrist swivel, jointed tail, solid joints, and nice heft, so I'd definitely recommend getting him.

I would highly recommend Nitro Zeus. While I did say that Scorn is better, Zeus is a fantastic figure in his own right.

Both are amazing figures and are up there for figure of the line and of the year!!

That much is true.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang it!

Pretty great set! Magnus Prime and Metalhawk are the clear winners here. Thunderwing is good, Pounce is okay, and I wasn't a huge fan of Tidal Wave (then again, I'm not a huge fan of Broadside or Trion, either). I definitely appreciate Prime's ankle tilts and 5mm hands, though the feet are a bit weird (I'll try to post a more detailed review of the set tomorrow).

Also, I've seen everyone arguing about who Magnus Prime is, whether he's Ginrai, Ultra Magnus, or a new guy. I'm just gonna call him Optimus Prime and be done with it.

That's good to hear! I think I really wanted that set as I wanted each figure that was in the set, if that makes any sense. The only duplicate would be Metalhawk, but I love Super God Masterforce so much I really wanted to have him.

I will find a way!!

Also, I think Hasbro said at a recent panel that he really is Optimus, but they "had" to name him something else?

The Triggerhappy mold is good enough to have multiples of, I say.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

More detailed review for Siege (this will work in a similar way to my Chaos review, where 5 is the least good, and 1 is the best):

5: Thunderwing. Like Rodimus from Chaos, Thunderwing isn't exactly bad in any way, but since he brings so little to the table (what with being a Titan Master), I can't rank him above anyone else

4: Tidal Wave. Not a horrible figure, but I wasn't a huge fan of the Broadside mold in the first place. Stickers are kinda eh as well.

3. Pounce. He's okay. Robot mode is good from the front, but half of the animal bits are sitting on his back (and his tail is on a piece that gives him a butt flap). Beast mode is kinda eh, but not the worst one that I've seen.

2. Metalhawk. Now we get to the good stuff. He's an excellent redeco of an already excellent figure, and the paint job is great. Only problem is that his feet are ever so slightly loose.

1. Magnus Prime. I already liked the Hasbro PMOP in the first place, and this version fixes the 4 (technically 3) issues that I had with him:
No ankle tilts
Magnus hands
Ugly brownish-grey plastic
Moreso an issue with my particular PMOP, but his left shoulderpad (where you peg the gun on) was glued in place and wouldn't move. Thankfully, this version does not have that QC issue.

Only problems with Prime are the weird feet, and the fact that some of the tabs aren't that secure (nothing a glue dot won't fix, though).

I just wish that they hadn't taken it out of stores. Alas...

I don't have any pictures of them right now (since my normal method of sending pictures isn't working), but I got Grotusque and Scorponok in this morning. I must say, I'm suprised that HTS delivered them so fast.

RiD, I presume?

Also, thread update:
Tomorrow, my family will be leaving to take a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Hawaii. Since my brother will be going to college next year, my parents wanted to take me and my siblings on one last big trip before we go our separate ways, and Hawaii is the destination that we chose. We will be going on a lot of hikes and spending a lot of time at the beach, so I don't know if I'll have time to look for any Transformers, but I hope that I will. We will return on Wednesday the 18th, and I will try to update the thread pictures by the end of that week.

Speaking of Transformers, as usual, I will have two accompanying me:

The vacation guru Scrounge returns (I hope that I'll be able to get a bunch of pictures with him), and backing him up is the newcomer Grotusque (who will serve as a bodyguard in the event of a Straxus encounter).

Only part of the trip that I'm disappointed about (this is an EXTREMELY MINOR gripe) is that the Overwatch Halloween Terror event starts on the day that we leave, so I'm going to miss the first week of the awesome PVE mode that they'll be adding temporarily.

HAWAII!! It's on my bucket list, but have fun!!
