It's nice to have official snippers finally in the Transformers line. While I'm unfamiliar with the story that Kaskade and Javelin come from, the figures are solid. The colors are really great and appropriate for a soldier who has to operate under some stealth. Between the two, Javelin uses the newer mold and personally, I dig their rifle more and hope to see it again down the line. If you're a fan of the story or the molds these figures are made from, this is a good purchase.

Flipping from Beast Wars Neo Predacons to Maximals with the Maximal's resident giraffe, Longrack; or rather, a KO of Longrack!

Hasbro just keeps killing it with these Shattered Glass repaints/retools.

I hate that a Minicon and a couple of guns was enough to make me bite, but here we are. At least this ones a canonical repaint? right? Let me know what you think, are you baited by this dude? hit me up in the comments below and let's get Nerdy with it!

This week's, fans voted on the Top 10 Transformers gimmicks. It should be noted that a gimmick is something that enhances, modifies or alters the basic premise of a product to increase sales. In this case, the basic premise is Transforming. So, while it is a toy gimmick, since this whole list is Transformers, that isn't a gimmick in this case but rather the entire basis of why the product exists. But, all them lights, sounds, automorphs, secret compartments, blast effects goodness is up for grabs!

If you like Junkions you'll enjoy Axelgrease. I'm not a fan of the arm transformation as I find it needlessly difficult and really takes away from the figure. The accessories are fun and expand the playability of the toy, but ultimately I find very little to recommend.
