Reflector looks good...in robot mode. That "camera" mode is a clusterf*ck.
Airrazor looks OK I guess. Meh. I'd rather have the Slipstream version of that mold.
Unit-3 looks...alright I suppose? Eh, don't really care. Nice vehicle mode though.
Tigatron is pffffft hahahahaahaahHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

But is it worth paying 100+ on eBay? I must ponder this thought.

Tigatron and Airazor don't look that appealing, but I like how Unit-3 has turned out. Custom Class Ratchet does make me a bit sad though, because I hoped Combiner Wars Ratchet would happen at some point....just not as a convention's custom class exclusive figure that has no paint or stickers, and I won't be able to afford one anyway. Here's hoping Titans Return (or even Prime Wars 3 whatever that will be) has room for a new Ratchet figure somewhere.

Unit 3 is another name for Beast War's Under 3.

Somehow, the Souvenirs... I don't know, don't make me so enthusiastic. Maybe because most are more of the same (Airazor, Tigatron). Unit-3 may be the shining light in the set because of his source material.

If anyone wants to part with Reflector, keep ol' Nemmyin mind.

This is why it's the figure I most need from this set. Well that and it actually looks quite good on its own merits.

Hey FunPub, why does a tiger have no stripes? I was so hoping for a tiger striped Lamborghini.
...and that head sculpt looks like the dried shriveled up foreskin of a botched circumcision.
Oh well. Live and learn.

The light blue indicates he's actually based on this guy:

Second: So Va'al, if you buy a Megatron by chance with no intention to keep, do news crew members get a discount if we are interested???
Posted by YoungPrime on April 7th, 2016 @ 6:27pm CDT
Not just the camera either. Those head sculpts and colors suck to.
I have 3 Legends Soundwaves but I doubt I'll even bother trying that "camera" mode.

I'm gonna save those Reflector Camera pics just in case I ever buy a couple of repaints of that mold.

That Unit 3 is amazing. I am actually considering waiting for it to be discounted on the club website and asking a friend to get it for me then. I know the guy who chose to make it this figure and he is just so glad that this infamous toy actually has a decent toy out there now. I think its a great and fun homage and very well done. I think it looks even better than that Megatron. I mean just look at the inspiration above and the toy that came out of that:

Never been to a Botcon and none of the stuff really made me want to go this year but after seeing this and since it is close by is starting to change my mind.
The souvenir sets get sold at a Hasbro booth there until they run out of stock. If they still have stock after that it typically gets sold on the club site (and sometimes goes for a discount, like 2013's very unpopular set). Even if a figure gets sold out you can still likely get it in the dealer room, or by trading with other attendees, but you'll likely have to pay a markup for that.

And Noideaforaname, do you find the Megatron headsculpt bad too? You arent the only one who does but I find it interesting how thats the only one people are having different opinions on.

william-james88 wrote:The leftovers end up on the Club's site right? Do the souvenirs end up being teamed in a double pack or could you buy them individually?
Since they're being sold individually to begin with this year I'm sure that overstock would be sold individually too. They broke up the 2013 toys, but they also HUGELY discounted them so I think it's just because that stuff wasn't selling.
Also, to anyone who is at BotCon or who will be going and it's their first time, the Club often ends up starting a stand in the dealer room where they sell exclusives that have been returned by attendees. Some of it is actually junk, with broken or missing parts, but if you get in there quickly you'll often be able to find figures that have maybe a minuscule paint scratch, or a joint that isn't PERFECTLY firm and haggle the Club down to an amazing price for them. You might even be able to piecemeal together a perfect figure from multiple returned figures.

Given that the Titan Returns line is "reintroducing" mech-animal forms I think Hasbro is testing the water. But hey, Saturday is the Hasbro Preview panel so let's hold our horses until then.

Wait a sec, there is an homage to Red Dragon Beast Wars Megatron and it's not your most wanted item? Wouldnt this be the ultimate toy for you?
In any case, I dont know if its been shared here what kind of head that tiger head is. The pictures dont show it too well, but here it is from the sides:

You have to pay for the stickers though, they dont come with the figure. And do we know if its only eye stickers this megatron gets or are there others?
