I like that shade of green on Skids, I really do. I just hate everything else about it.

Axor is the only one of interest to me in this wave.

Hmm the only ones of interest for me is the battle blades bumblebee, surprisingly i haven't got any kind of movie bumblebee, been holding out for a better movie accurate one, and battle blades bumblebee i think will do

and also that rescue ratchet, the only ratchet i have is the voyager desert ratchet which isn't that good, but fits better scale wise, i had a few chances to get the green deluxe ratchet, but it is just too small scale wise, however, if i get deluxe rescue ratchet i'll rename it red alert or something, that way scale has no bounds because he wasn't in the movie

i already have ROTF lockdown so no need for Axor, and that ironhide's just too small, i'll wait for that recon repaint to come to england and buy that instead. please hasbro UK don't screw up these releases like you have with half the blooming NEST line!

I completely agree. I just hate the coper plastic.


I'll probably pick up the rest. I passed on the green deluxe Ratchet because I have the voyager. The G1 paint on this one makes it different enough to pretend it's a different character. BB is real impressive. Especially since I have gotten to see him in person. My only negative is the hands. Ironhide is so so but I'll pick him up for Hailstorm. I like Axor's retool and new head but I am not really liking the dull white.

Secon-er, Thirded.

I get the feeling there will be a bunch of shelf warmers from this wave. Ratchet already is along with Skida and BB so more of them.... whew, they need more shelves. I do like the look of Axor but I honestly didn't care much for Lockdown. The arms on mine kept falling off and his hook hand keeps flopping in. I hope they fixed this on the new guy.

That's what IH's drone turns into? A bug? Not at all what I expected, but I won't get it anyway.

No thank you. I can pass on Axor too, even with the Actionmaster homage.

Excited about Axor. Ive got animated lockdown, so no way I was gonna get "movie" version. But I love this paint scheme

Hmm. I kinda want that Ratchet, but I already have the Voyager version in red & white. Do I need another one? Probably not, but I kinda want one. I guess I'll see how I feel when I see it in stores.

I hated both the animated and movie lockdown, but when you put a new head on it and paint it a decent color, suddenly I love it!

(note the same effect can happen when recolored cyan, cream orange, or white.)
