Fellow Seibertronians, hot on the heels of the in-hand images, and the video review of Grimlock vs. Back Mini-con Battle Pack, we have a review of the RID Mini-con Battle Pack Bumblebee vs. Major Mayhem from fellow Seibertronian chuckdawg1999. Check out the review and leave your thought in the comments below.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Those of us who have been around for awhile know that when Hasbro introduces a new line, the first wave or so really isn't indicative of the overall series. Such is the case with the Minicon Battle Packs. Bumblebee is a smaller, pocket sized version of the Warrior Class figure, with a few additional ball joints. The armor comes together nicely both in the combined weapon mode, and attached to bumblebee. Major Mayhem is a cool name but these new Minicons just don't do it for me.

Am I the only one who looks at the Cyclone Minicons and immediately thinks of Bakugan?

Alright then, not sure whether to be happy or scared that I remember Bakugan exists, and that I still have my entire Bakugan collection. But yeah, I might get some Cyclone Miniconsjust because they remind me of Bakugan so much.

well for anyone who's interested(although i highly doubt it) here's a mockup repaint i found of what a possible BW Megs could've looked like(although i still say it would also need some retooling as well as just a repaint to make it more accurate)

And because of that everyone and their mother accuses Hasbro of ripping of Bakugan. Which I think is pretty shortsighted. Sure, they're round, they can transform, but that's where it ends.

Not sure I'd everyone caught that but that leader scaled optimus is another simplified big toy. It converts in 7 steps. Seems to be this year's 5 step megatronus.

For a 7 step t-form, it looks like he at least has some descent articulation.

So, i picked up some minicons yesterday and they are pretty cute and awesome little guys. Also discovered (dunno if this has been said before) but their weapons can be used with the legion guys who need a weapon. They work pretty nice too!
I also love how you can configure Fracture's front wheel so it actually looks like a bike turning. I have also discovered I love him with his weapon mounted on the left arm in that hole reserved for the weapon in vehicle mode![:BOT:]( "Autobot")

This.
A bunch of armada figures transformed in about the same number of steps, the point is that it looks great in bot mode and has great articulation

That Megatronus is a perfectly fine toy, a more interesting transformer than most CW limbs.

The way he does a split to transform and he has nice detailing. Fracture though is really awesome too.
Still waiting on my Thunderhoof![:BOT:]( "Autobot")

What do you think about my little custom? ![:-D]( "Very Happy")
I just have to wait to get a good look of his tank mode in the show to get the right inspiration how to color the missile pods.
