This is what we call 'the Stockholm Syndrome'.

Alternators kitty Ravage. I like the Jaguar car, I like the jaguar mode. And I know some people don't like it.

Transmetal 2 Prowl II.

Both modes look great and his transformation is simple but fun. I personally keep him in owl mode so he doesn't take up a lot of space on the shelf.

@Dean ML: I'm totally with you on RotF Leader Megs. I really dig him, especially in vehicle mode. It's one of the nastiest looking, most imposing/evil looking alt modes I've ever seen and all the molding detail really looks awesome.

Yes! Vehicle mode's incredible, even if it does just look like a folded up Megatron - that's how it looked in the movie, head between his treads and all.

The messed up thing with me is- I bought him, hated it, then sold it on ebay. THEN I turn around and stared at him forever right after Christmas, and, with some gift cash burning a hole in my pocket, I bought him again! Now I love the thing. I really dig the car mode, and bot mode really isn't bad, either. PLUS, coming to grips with the size issue I had about the FOC line, I decided to buy Optimus Prime. While I'm still not keen on the bot mode, I absolutely love the alt mode. Definitely gives me the War Within feel.

The kicker is, i paid retail on both at Walmart, then today I look on BBTS and both are going for like $7.50 each......

One word. Saidos.

The Takara scheme is such an improvement over the ALL PRIMARY COLORS Hasbro version.

Plus he has an arm coming out of his butt.

Fun fact, the arm under the beast mode head is attached via a 5mm peg. It makes a great severed arm if you need one. . it looks pretty good hanging off Cybertron Demolishor.

Cool. Might give it to Zombie Cliffjumper.

Might work on the AM version... I don't think the Hasbro version has any 5mm pegs on it though.

I'm still looking to pic one up. I have Alternity Ravage (on my Beast Wars shelf ), but I still need the kitty-mode Binaltech version, I think it looks cool.

Yep, I'm with you here. At first I was a bit disappointed with the tininess etc., but after playing with both of them for a while and looking at them in detail, I really came to appreciate each of them. Now I'm anxiously awaiting shipping my POL to get the Takara metallic versions and I'm also looking forward to the Ultra Magnus repaint which looks spectacular (not to mention the Sideswipe remold which looks amazing).

I can get over the smaller size classes. They're still cool toys.

I want it too but man, this thing is EXPENSIVE. No way that I'd pay 60$ for it.

At the risk of looking like I'm sucking up to the OP, I too love the 07 Movie jet mold. I have the original and G1 SS (sold my shiny version, dumb), and the 3 Seeker repaints. It's just a fun mold, I love the robot mode bulk and the head sculpts.

ROF Supreme Devastator is a lot of fun w/ Legends figs. He's huge and just cool. Still expensive on eBay, glad I got mine cheap back when he was being clearanced.

Edit- I meant that selling the silver Deep Space Starscream was dumb, not that the figure was dumb. That is all.

It's definitely a very fun mold! The autotransform is very smooth, and both modes looks pretty nice. I'm afraid I've grown to hate that G1-esque head sculpt though. Anybody care to photoshop a coat of silver on top of the mouthpiping? It works wonderfully on Prime Dead End, but I just don't like it on a character that's not supposed to be a monstrous lunatic. x.x;

I got my 2007 Deep Space Starscream today.
This deco is just perfect in every ways.

Unfortunately, mine have a problem. The nose-cone kibble that go on the back in robot mode dont really peg under the cockpit in jet mode. It's my 4th 2007 Screamer mold and it's the first time it does this.

Halp?

Mold degredation? That's certainly annoying.

I love Action Masters. That counts, right?

Sigh... At least, it dont affect the bot mode.

PrymeStriker wrote:I love Action Masters. That counts, right?

Yes. And you know what? I got Devastator and Blaster and like them both.

Deluxe Jazz from the '07 Movie line. Despite being a squat little brick with forearms that barely hold together, there's something about it that I just can't resist. I've picked up all seven iterations of that mold, and I'll gladly grab any future releases.

I also love FOC Prime and Ultra Magnus. I was sure FOC Prime couldn't possibly be better than WFC Prime, but the lack of kibble is a huge improvement and makes him a lot more fun to dink around with, even if he is smaller and less detailed. And with his added weapons and awesome head-sculpt, Ultra Magnus has turned out to be my favourite FOC toy thus far.

Forgot my favorite brick: PM Optimus Prime.

I really love Dark of the Moon Shockwave. Awesome weapon, really mean looking, extremely sinister, nice paintjob...

Literally the only problems I have with him are his shoulders and the lack of wrist articulation that was displayed on the box. Oh, Hasbro...

Also, although I have never seen him in real life, FOC Grimlock. The Dino mode isn't really bad, although the tail is slightly stubby and the hollow torso sucks a bit. And his robot mode is outstanding. Plus, he's big.

If I had the money I would get the Masterpiece figure, but that's never gonna happen, so this mold is the next best thing.

I also love PRID Soundwave. Partly because he looks like an Evangelion, admittedly...

The one I'm about to show you is not for the faint of heart. This one is so ugly, it will give you nightmares. You have been warned. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you:

Beast Wars Neo Rartorata, repaint of BW Injector.

Yes, I love him because he was so out there. Him being a Herald of Unicron in Neo was just icing on the cake.

Here's another one for me. Classics 2006 Megatron, the Hasbro version. You know what? I like those colors a lot! I love the wings, too.
