Final TFSS 5.0 Figures are Arriving and Mystery Figure Revealed

Everybody else probably loves SG starscream, but I'm a little disappointed since he's not going to have a spot in my collection (SG is a little too niche for me).

Victorion Nightbird...? ... I kind of want that.

Aww...

I loved the SG Comcept, but a one-off combiner kimb is not what I want, nit when we had potential redecos to go with Bluestreak like Sideswipe or Hoist. I guess its a nice homage to one of Botcon's biggest and 2nd best known (for good or ill) storylines.

He's not more fragile than the others. One of the wings is flimsier and comes off easily (not as easily as Hotspot's chest though) but he doesnt feel more fragile.

Yeah, I'm not surprised they went with the Seeker head, that was basically inevitable (as much as I would have loved a Universe Sunstorm from UW Thrust).

I haven't really looked into SG stuff (though I should probably get on it), so I can't say much about Shatterscream as a character, and I can't comment on the toy 'til I see it. That said, having one SG guy in the scramble pool makes him feel like a bit of an orphan to me. All the other factions have enough for a full combiner (except the Maximals, but they can still pull together Magnaboss if they cheat and use stickers). It feels a little weird.

That said, he's an extra. Toxitron and Counterpunch are what I put down money for, and what I see of them so far is to my liking.

I will more than gladly take a Shattered Glass Starscream off of someone's hands should they decide he is not for them. Shattered Glass is my THING!!!

You must really like Opera singers then.

That was bad, and you should feel bad

Such a hodgepodge of characters and weapons, I love it! FoC Ruination looks more cohesive (thanks in part to the deco and Combaticon molds), but Wreckage is just plain messy, especially his weapons.

I'm with you. I love how all the different guns, even the HFG, have been mixed around. But I will be adding my Toxitron to my Stunticon collection, not my Wreckers.

That's Toxitron's own toxic acid that oozes and secretes from his body.

Physically, he's kinda like Meltdown from Transformers Animated. You try to touch him, you gonna get BURNED!
