I'm not reviewing these, simply saying comments about them. I'm too lazy to go into details for a full fledged review.

I'll start with Bumblebee.

What a load of crap. His feet are huge. That stupid Automorph Technology is an auto pain in my ass. And putting his plasma cannons on his wheels when he's in robot mode is terrible. They just spin all around. I figured Hasbro wouldn't drop the ball on a classic like Bumblebee AND a Camaro, but they did. Stick with Cybertron Downshift for an awesome classic car bot.

Speed Dial 800 is great. He looks so real. My only problem is getting his feet out because I have no finger nails. Also, he looks weird standing next to a bunch of regular TFs who are tanks and cars and the like. Great purchase though. I'll have to get me some more Real Gears in the future.

I love the Real Gear figures. To me, they fully represent the concept of Transformers - robots disguised as everyday objects.

I have Speed Dial, Spyshot, and Powerup. They're on my desk next to reissue G1 Soundwave. Since Soundwave is a tape deck, he's just right for real gear. Perceptor would be too.

Real Gears rock! Spy shot is the best.
