First off, I can't believe it's been a year already, but second you will be getting her the Little People Transformers set, right?

I can't believe it either.

And... there's a TF little peoples set???

Yep! Check around the Target TFOne display in store, that's where I saw it.

My thoughts on what I got so far:



D. Sentinel Prime:
An EXCELLENT figure. I love the throwback to DOTM with his shield. The bot mode is solid and the jet mode is flawless, even from underneath. It was not that easy to figure out his transformation because everything was so TIGHT, but otherwise, it may be the best deluxe in the mainline so far.

D. Alpha Trion:
Look great in both modes, but the transformation is way too simplistic and unsatisfying. Still, a nice nod to Titan Returns Alpha Trion. Also, I find hilarious that the beast mode is horny, and the bot mode is wielding a sword and a dildo as his weapons.

D. Optimus Prime / Orion Pax:
Much better looking than the SS deluxe in both modes, but he's so tiny. He's barely a scout. Why so smol? Plus his transformation is a bit annoying with his arms popping off due to the overtight transformation joints. Plus in bot mode, his wrists would have benefitted from a pin joint because removing the axe from his fist take the whole hand off. This may cause a break if the axe is used too often. This Optimus is the worst deluxe of the 4, but it's not bad enough to be returned to the store.

D. Bumblebee:
Look good in both modes, except for the overlarge feet that leave a big gap in both mode and a huge tail in vehicle mode. His transformation was not too easy to figure out because the arms had to be transformed in a specific order. Appart the small flaws, this Bee is very, very good. The second best deluxe of the four.

1step Airachnid:
Amazing beast/drone mode, but the bot is a bit sad. She have NO LEGS, her dorso resting on a stool. That is my impression. The transformation is simple, obviously, but satisfying.

The overall quality of all these figures are very solid. good paint, tights joints, great look, and they feel premium in hand, compared to the Cyberverse/Earthspark deluxes. My wallet is crying over these purchases, but my heart don't regret it one bit.

I remember sitting with you in 2014 when you told me your idea of what to you qualifies as a perfect transformers toy. And i was thinking of your words while handling Sentinel prime. Nice clean bot mode and alt mode with an elegant transformation to go between them.

10 years....

But yeah, for me, a PERFECT Transformers is one that not only look good in both modes, but also have a nice, clean, and satisfying transformation.

There are many of them on my list.
And speaking of lists, maybe they could make a comeback?

Haha, I write when I can

Top 5 sentinel prime could be interesting

So are these showing up at Walmart at all yet? I've only been seeing them at Target, what are they waiting for?

While the Transformers One line has been trickling in at Target, Walmarts in the US have been slower. Their exclusives have been found though, including the Quintesson toy and this Optimus desk toy which does not transform but goes from Orion Pax to Optimus Prime by changing its head and chest. The toy has been found in the US and Canada for weeks now but if you've been avoiding it and are still curious about what exactly it is, Chuck made a review of the toy which we posted below.
