I'm happy to hear this and it's a cool looking figure indeed!!! Now I'll definitly hold from paying more than $50 right now on eBay...'nuff said!!!

I wonder which parts of Mr McGloomface is glow-in-dah-dark?

That's the question I'm asking myself, almost as much of a question as why didn't we get a ghost Starscream instead? That would be neat and collectors would eat it up.

Yeah, THAT.
A GITD Starscream would make perfect sense as a ghost.

Moreso for a toy of G1 Starscream, not EarthSpark Starscream.

Obviously.

You guys realize it doesn't have to be literally called "ghost Starscream", right? Hasbro can come up with some bullcrap explanation (or not, they didn't for megs) and leave it to fans to see the obvious.

Because I find some "religious" things present in Earthspark to be revulsive, I swore that I'd never, ever buy any toy from this line, especially the deluxes.

However, morality has a price, and 10$CAN (around 7.50$US) a deluxe seems to be it.
So I bought a few.



I will post my impression on each of them as I open and try them. I may not post pictures of the individual toys as I go because y'all already seen them.


First, I went with Bumblebee. The overall feel of the figure do not feel too cheap and the paint is solid. The overall design of the bot is not the greatest Bee, but he's fine enough. However, his gun is WAY too tight in his hand. Removing it pop off the hand from the arm every single time. As for the transformation, what the Hell is that roof panels accordion? There's no tolerance at all for the thing to pass the head while unfolding without having the whole thing pop off the hinge. At least, everything pop back in easily. The overall car mode is stupid. half the car is nice, then there's this HUGE block at the rear that makes no sense aerodynamically. Orange at the back, yellow in the middle, and orange at the front is a "flaw" but I like that.

Final verdict, ES deluxe Bee is just average. 5/10.

I'll open the rest later one at a time.

Regarding Megatron, some have felt that they actually preferred the Warrior over the Deluxe.

I forgot that I previously bought Warrior Elita-1 and Megs.
Warrior Megs is indeed way better than the deluxe despite the hollow bits. He can wear his cannon-blade on his arm without any problems. Also, it is quite ironic that despite the fact that Warrior Megs just fold his arms to make the vehicle's wings, they manage to be more "hidden" than the deluxe's.

Thrash (not trash) is another one where the Warrior is a lot better than the Deluxe. It's light weight, but has a nice transformation and a sidecar.

Thrash and Megs are both where I agree that the warrior is the better toy. I would also throw in Jawbreaker, I prefer his warrior to his deluxe as well. His deluxe kinda pisses me off, which is a shame cause he is my favorite from the show.

Also, Nightshade = They
