I don't think these look terrible (they seem quite posable and the robot modes are mostly nice for their size) but other than Megatron I don't really see the appeal of the Mini-Me versions.

I hope never... I don't want a tiny little robot for a Shockwave and definitely not for a Sixshot.
Although those 2 are reaally reaally overdue for a remake. I'd be worried if anyone tackled sixshot unless it was fansproject.

If a 2 pack of these were hanging on the shelf at Target for $4.99, I'd snap them right up. For almost $40 after shipping, not so much.

Agreed.
I just can't get behind the concept of turning mainline characters and turning them into Targetmasters. Megatron, I can kind of see since his alt mode is in fact a gun, but the other three seem strange to me. I would be much more receptive to a third party producing updated versions of the original Targetmaster partners.

I agree, that I'd be MORE likely to get these if they were NOT main characters, and were just generic bots or re-dos of the old G1 targetmasters.
If they were $20, even $25, I'd go for it, but $35 plus shipping is just to much $$$ for what they are.

Agreed. Too many real TM that need this treatment to be producing these. Pass

The PE Targetmasters are atleast filling some gaps in regards to missing characters... instead of just cloning larger characters who normally have vehicle alt. modes. yea Megatron sorta works, but he ends up being tiny... I just can't have a tiny Megatron, haha.

I think its more that they're existing characters rather than the price. If these were new characters, or even homages to previous targetmasters, I'd've snapped them up in a heartbeat.
