This is entirely too different for my tastes. Interesting, and well-executed for what it is... but I'll have to respectfully pass.

Sweetness. I love these!

So when does Hi-Q get reinvented as a sock to go in OP?

I need to get these... I happen to like the Shoeformers, it's such a new refreshing idea. I just wish the both could have been changed a bit more like new head sculpts at least. I might not be able to get Magnus cause hes sold out but I will definetly pounce on Starscream when he comes up for sale.

Same here. I procrastinated on Magnus and am kicking myself for it. These felows sell out faster than anything else I've seen in a while. I believe this is due to the limited numbers of each.

I agree, but, how do you make armor for a shoe?

However, a new heald sculpt would have been great.

Man,

I think Ultra Magnus will forever be stuck in Optimus Repaint Hell. Gotta pass on this...

I just don't get the idea of Transformers shoes. I wouldn't buy them for the price of a basic.

Demarcus, do you not remember the statement from the Botcon Hasbro panel that Ultra Magnus in TF:Animated will be a unique mould?

These shoe-chappies aren't my thing, but I'm glad those that are into them get to continue to develop their collection.

Well they're distinctly different so I can see why they are dividing opinion but I guess I fall into the "kinda like the look but still gonna pass on them" category.

Still can't see much with Starscream's robot mode that picture's so blurry.

Had Prime and Megs, sold Prime and Megs. They just weren't interesting enough to keep, and neither are these two. Pass.

Yeah despite passing on them I'd still love to see if they attempted to get a decent remolded head that looks "Starscream"

ACS, TFSouce still has pre-orders for magnus, albeit at inflated prices.

Naysayers, like what you want, a few years down the line when these are in super high demand you'll want them for the sheer collectability.

I like 'em. Love NIKE brand stuff, Love TFs, it's a match made in heaven for me. Although I'm not sure why Starscream is black and red, but it must be the closest color NIKE makes to red and blue that was not used.
