Good person, you said EFFING!!! YESSS!!!!!! I believe you meant to say EFFING!!! NOOOO!!!!!! This must be the case for I am displeased with this turn of events, and I shall brook no disagreement on the matter.

Still waiting for wave 1 to show up... all I've seen is the pre-Christmas Legends...

Going to give Target a check tomorrow.

I agree the Decepticon symbol looks much better. This is not shattered glass. This is repurposing shattered glass characters into something less niche.

He is as far as Hasbro marketing department is concerned. Every Unicron toy for the past 12 years has been sold as a Decepticon toy by Hasbro.

This is true. I still find it to be a very uninspired approach. There's nothing wrong with throwing a little more variety in the mix. I don't remember any kids my age being like, "Maximals? Predacons? What's going on? My litle brain can't handle all these factions!!!"

I'm a Beast Wars kid and, for me, that was because I never knew about Autobots and Decepticons beforehand. To me, the Maximals and Predacons were the good guys and bad guys, period, no further questions asked.

I had little difficultly transitioning into the other named factions that came after Beast Wars because I had others explain it all to me as it was happening. But let me tell you, I sure was royally confused I was when RiD rolled around in 2001 and it was "Autobots vs. Predacons" when, before that point, everyone told me that the Autobots and Decepticons were the ancient ancestors of the Maximals and Predacons, so instead of it being either "Maximals vs. Predacons" or "Autobots vs. Decepticons", it was neither and that felt weird to my little childlike mind. Then once I got used to it, the show went and introduced the Decepticons in addition to the Predacons, making it then be "Autobots vs. Predacons and Decepticons".

Those photos were all in the link we newsed to dengeki hobby. I didnt bother newsing many of those because its toys we already have and already know exactly what they look like.

Also, MERGING TIME!!!!!!

Does anyone know what the rectangular pegs on the sides of Starscream's legs are for? What about the ones on his wings next to the 5mm holes?

Also, am I doing something wrong or do the null ray's not peg into the upper arm peg holes in vehicle mode correctly?

Ya know, I have no idea. They're not used for any of his forms. Though, the pegs on his legs fit perfectly into the unused slots on his forearms and the pegs on his wings fit several slots found o the figure. Perhaps they are the remnants of some abandoned design ideas?
