Before the June 2nd, I had no intention of getting any FAB's, because I thought they would be tiny and oversimplified.

But on Saturday, it was an easy decision to pickup FAB Brawl, Ratchet, and SS. I didn't pick up the others because they all had gimpy-hand-syndrome, and Prime looked kinda weak.

But these things are nothin' but fun! They're as big as Deluxes and look nice enough in both modes to be shelf-worthy. Yeah, the transformations are super-easy, but they're also super-fun!

Anybody else like them? Hate them? LC

Duh, Prime has to be the best FAB with FAB Megatron! Prime and Meg are easily the most poseable of the bunch. Will get them all despite some being pretty weak (Ironhide, Jazz).

I think they are rather neat. When I transformed it and it curled up on itself I was quite surprised. :grin:

I have Brawl and Starscream and I love them. Thinking about looking for FAB Barracade if he exists. Yes, they are kind of little kid looking, but they are fun as hell and that's all I'm concerned about.

Yeah, I'm hooked, too. I only have Prime and Brawl so far, looking to pickup Satrscream and maybe Ratchet. I haven't seen a FAB Megatron yet.

I only have Starscream right now, I passed on the others consifdering I had like $250 worth of other Movie figures in my cart. But I plan on getting the others sometime. They are a neat little idea, and Starscream is pretty cool. I definetly do not have anything against them.

Picked up Prime last night at Mega's urging, and he is really awesome.

Still partial to ratchet for the fave, cause he's so chunky.

What's up with Ironhide's hands? Does he even HAVE them?

He has arms, but they're hard to pose...

I've got Prime and Starscream. Don't really like either one. They're not bad but not good either. At least they stay together and shoulders don't flop out or their front ends don't curl under. Well....The prime doesn't like to stay in truck mode I guess...lol.

All right, I just got back from squardering a good deal of my paycheck at Target, got both Brawls... And MAN I can see where this thred is coming from. FAB Brawl is the Chunky Fun TIme version. Deluxe Brawl is the Grr Tabs Hate Hate Kill version.

EDIT: Gotta add this... Love FABrawl's punchy action too, I guess partly 'cause I grew up on He-Man with the same kind of spring punch, but mosly because it makes his claw so much better.
