Sea Clamp looks like an old man waiving his cane at youngsters.

Hes a great exclusive, but they've managed to make 3 red limbs leaving you with either of the other colours left for a limb.
Unless they did another red toy I'm missing here as an extra exclusive?

Ramhorn removes all doubt I had with going with Takara's Computron.

Man this gets my mind going....It would be neat if next year they released the Maximal Elders as Magnaboss. I just wonder what vehicle modes they could choose? (Ironhide-a Prime/Motormaster retool, Silverbolt-any Airealbot limb, Prowl-CW Prowl retool) and who would be the 4th/5th members...I know it wont happen...just fun to think about though.

Prowl, Silverbolt, and Ironhide are already in this comic in their G1/CW bodies.o.supreme wrote:Man this gets my mind going....It would be neat if next year they released the Maximal Elders as Magnaboss.

Yes but the Maximal Elders (Ironhide, Prowl, and Silverbolt) are not the same as their G1 namesakes, so they would be different characters.

He is right. G1 Ironhide, Silverbolt and Prowl became Magnaboss.

Hrmm... I always thought G1 Prowl became the Transmetal Owl in BW that had no memory of his prior existence...

Are we just going to ignore that Megatron is in the background of some of the Terrorsaur pictures?

I understand it's a necessity with the characters chosen but that is a very visually boring set, colour-wise (besides Tarantulas).

From the looks of it, Reflector can be accomplished with three unaltered Shockwaves. Looks like I have two more Shockwaves to get!

Well I'm excited to pay way too much for that Megatron, then pay slightly less way too much for Under-3.
