I like this thing. Another strange G1 figure to add to my collection. It should fit in well next to my Exile edition Music Label Convoy.

Nice job putting Ratbat's boosters on the wrong side.

I REALLY wanted this however, at $150 I'm better off spending a little more and getting a Hasbro Masterpiece version.

At least "Golden Shower" Ultra Magnus has someone to sit in the corner with.

I can't explain why I like this. This would be an abomination on my shelves but I love it. Maybe it's so bad it's good, I don't know.

Doesn't need Buzzsaw, needs Frenzy/Rumble instead.
Just my two cents.

I love it, just because it's linkin park. But $150 is quite steep.

This is just my opinion, but that thing is an absolute piece of crap. Cheap looking gold plastic and the only other color is black, and there is so little of it. This Soundwave doesn't even have metal thighs.
If Linkin Park really had a say in this figure's design, they made it pretty obvious that they don't give a hoot about Transformers.

Looks more like "Vanilla-flavor" instead of "gold".

He is one of my favorite G1 characters. it'll go great opposite my MISB 1984/G1 Soundwave. Where will it be on sale at?

They are opposites indeed. One is awesome and the other sucks eggs.

i can only hope that Gold plastic Syndrome causes this toy to crumble into nothingness; just as Linkin Parks career did.

Agreed, because they could at least represent some generics from More Than Meets The Eye and S.O.S. Dinobots.
As is, they could all be electrum coated...but the reveal of Ratbat makes that odd, as Golden Lagoon was before his time in the 'toon.

It looks like a KO, at least the other G1 reissue, Bape Prime was interesting.

I can't believe that over a year after showing the actually good looking prototype in 2012 they came up with this final product. It's as if they totally forgot about it (I know I did) and handed it off to some intern who doesn't know a thing about TFs to finish the design on the cheap.
BTW the Linkin Park facebook page has some great comments. With 43,700+ Likes, I'm sure it'll sell out between the two sets of fans.
