Wee! I never post here!
M'Kay. I wanna buy a Real Gear robot. But I can't decide which one. So...can you guys tell me the one you like the most and help me decide?

Zoom out *25 Is AWSOME.

I'm partial to Booster X10--a sweet-looking condor. I'm just partial to animals, though. Longview has a nice transformation and looks good, too.

[Geekee1]

I'm diggin' Spyshot 6. But I really like all of the ones that I've gotten so far.

I have speed dial and booster, both are really good, Speed dial is hanging on my bamboo at my office desk spying on my internet activity.

"Laserbeak" is indeed my favorite too. All in all though, you can't go wrong with any of them, they're all pretty original.

[i_amtrunks]

Of Wave 1, you really cannot go past Speed Dial, a remarkably easy transformation, along with a very realistic alt mode, Ive needed a new phone for months, and until they held it in their own hands, my friends actually thought that Speed Dial was my new phone.

Overall though, Im sure Ill love Laserbeak the most when he gets released.

[Valandar]

If you like robot modes, the absolute best is Longview. He's got a real 'superhero' vibe going, especially with that Robocop / Cyclops of the X-Men head. Yes, his alt mode is too small, but it still looks like a pair of modern binos.


Speaking of RG's, anyone think that maybe Hasbro is testing the waters for more object-formers for future lines as well, besides just padding the Movie line with a sub-line to fill the Basic price point?

[Chris Bot]

Oh I definitely wouldn't mind more Real Gears. They are awesome. The only one I am missing is Power Up. I wanna trick my friends into thinking I got a spiffy new X Box controller.

And the new Mountain Dew Transfomers commercial has a develish monkey type toaster bot. Me wants!

[spiritofcat]

I have Spyshot and Speed Dial. Of the two I prefer Spyshot for his superior articulation and his awesome light-piping. Speed Dial is good too though.

[Rijie]

I have all except the "gameboy" one, and they are all great figures.

My top two would be Booster X10 and Spy Shot, Booster because of the Laserbeak homage(and he is honestly flawless), and Spy Shot becuase he reminds me of Reflector(has great proportions, excellent articulation, even the hands are articulated, and light piping in the eyes.)

Long View is great as well.

You really can't go wrong with any of them, though. I think that in the long run, Real Gears will be looked at as a highlight of the Movie line. It's a great idea that is expertly executed.

I have Booster and Longview, and like them both. but if I had to pick I'd go with booster, hands down. Great look, great transformation, and great articulation. Yes, great articutlation, as in better than movie Jazz, that's for sure. The feet and legs move a lot, the wings are great, only downside is that the head and neck just stick out there, but what you gonna do.

[tmthor]

Boioster X-10 is my fave just although I call him Lazerbeak

[Archanubis]

Booster X10, aka "Laserbeak." He's just too good not to get.

[WIIM]

I ordered all 6 of them from hasbrotoyshop.com the first day they were available (with a discount code), and I have only received Power-Up and Spy-Shot. I also ordered a test shot version of the PS2 controller from ebay (for $10!), but haven't received that yet either.

[Hairball178]

I also got BoosterBeak. And hey, here's some marketing that sells itself...make a yellow repaint so we can have Buzzsaw.

[Starscreams bad comedy]

I have them all and would say its Speed Dial first and Spyshot second. Speed Dial wins for his cool and life size altmode. I really like the transformation, especially the arms. Spyshot has a better bot mode with better articualtion and good eye piping. The transformation is pretty good too but looses points for being a bit clunky, feels like you have to force some of the arms a bit. Plus the scale is a little off.

[UFO]

I'm definatly thinking Camerabot or Phonebot now...

[--B--]

I'm definatly thinking Camerabot or Phonebot now...

I'm waiting for the phone's Decepticon repaint. It just looks nicer in the dark color scheme.

I want that one too, Then I can recreate those Cricket wireless commercials.

[Bones]

You should buybooster10x.I like that it is a I pod and a ear peace.He looks like a laser beack to me and he's really easy to transform.

[X3ROhour]

i've picked up the entire first series and they all rock!

Best?

the bird and the digital camara, i think.

the condor is definatlly #1.

[Skowl]

They're all great, but Spyshot (the camera) is my favourite

Can't wait for the next wave, High Score (controller) and Meantime (watch) look to be great toys as well.

[KoH4711]

I'm in the Booster X10 end of things, because I love the G1 Laserbeak look. Plus I was enough of a nerd to go around wearing the earpiece while we scoured for toys on the 2nd. Amazingly, my fiancee didn't call off the wedding. Yet.

All in all, though, I pretty much love the whole line. It reminds me of one of the reasons we thought the G1 figures were so cool when I was a kid. No only were they fun to play with around the other Transformers, they were also great for other games, too. Megatron was BORN to be part of a 007 type game, and he fit perfectly in my dad's old briefcase. Ah, those were the days...

And on a completely different sidenote, Robinson... I love the Prime pic. Though it does beg for a Dark Awakening screen cap response. =D

[Brakethrough]

For me it's a toss up between Booster X-10 (The BEST looking Laserbeak ever) and Spyshot, who has a very interesting transformation and looks quite cool as a robot, while retaining articulation. I also have Speed Dial and Zoom Out, but the former has poor leg movement reminiscent of Cybertron Thunderblast, and the latter could have done a little better with the arms.
