They couldnt even get Chromia right. Anyone can see that she's lite green which means Moonracer. Idiots! Still looks kewl though.  Along with Ironhide and Outback (Fallback---bleh) she makes this set kind of desireable, but not for $265 and I wouldnt want that other crap clogging up my shelf space.

Yep. That's Moonracer, the exclusive I mean. This is Chromia. They picked the wrong damn name.

wow...what a disapointment lol

 

$265 USD ($318 CAD) for..

5 basics! 1 deluxe and 1 ultra

2 of which are repaints!

and (IMHO) 3 of these molds suck total A$$ (Chromia, Richocet, Buzzclaw and dirge)

 

very happy i didnt spend the money here

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Don't forget to include the cost of that pin, the packaging and tech spec cards, and I believe a comic as well.

 

Anyway.....

 

What a different the background makes!  Deathsaurus looks much better with a black background.

 

I'm not too thrilled about Dirge though.  I was liking the set because most of the molds I do NOT own (which makes this set worth it for me), but using the same mold TWICE in the SAME set is pathetic.  I was hoping for another jet, but alas.

 

I'd also like to point out that since the Decepticons are all 'beast related', I feel they should have been labeled as Predacons instead.  Would have made a difference IMO.

I think  A LOT OF US would have preferred to see repaints of E- sharkticon as Scourge or E-slugslinger as dirge, that would have make more sense,or even Bulkhead as Spinister. TM2 Megs would have been better for a Deszaras homage(and more sense). WE JUST GOT SCREWED AND PWNED AGAIN.

*Facepalms* A Powerglideing repaint of a repaint...damn.

 

Botcon, glad I'm not going. Hope BBTS has this crap for much less. Heavy emphasis on MUCH LESS!! 

 

But I can't help but feel like I've been bent over and lubed up for a semi truck comming towards my ass at full speed. A repaint of a repaint, its like c'mon... lazy.

not gonna Starscream, just put back 60 bucks for ironhide on evilbay

Woah. That's crap.

 

Next time guys, let the fans decide on it. Take suggestions for a few weeks, do a poll of the best options, that way, the majority of people are happy. This way, you piss everyone off.

I just hope that if this set doesn't sell well, it won't affect our toys next year. I'm worried that low sales will tell them that fanclub exclusives aren't worth it.  Mind you, if next years lot will be anything like this, it won't matter, coz I won't get those either.  I was so looking forward to seeing what this years set was going to be after last years was so good. I'm disapointed, but at the same time, glad that I can spend my money on other things now.

i guess im the only one who accepts the package, im cool with them all, just more formers to add to my collection...there will NEVER be a time in transformer history where their will not be repaints so just deal with it. i never got last yrs exclusives ( working on it) considering that this is THERE FIRST YR then i will take my package with my chin held high and prepare for next yrs swag. so you didnt get them, well move on then, you cant expect everything to be perfect, if that was the case then we would have a MP megatron , show accurate toys everytime, more overseas exclusives with less import charges FORT MAX..you see where im going with this

[rant] ihateyouhasbroihateyouhasbroihateyouhasbro I HATE YOU, HASBRO!!!!!

 

yet i still buy from you. well, here's to another retarded stunt by hasbro. let's bring up their record, shall we?

 

record of Hasbro Powerglide-ups

1. bringing the worst and most unpopular G1 reissues to only tru, which was already dying as it was. leading to outrageous markups in price.

 

2. butchering Galaxy Force's plot in a feeble attempt to make it part of the Armada/Energon storyline only to change the voices of the familiar characters anyway. honestly, if they're so intent on making it a storyline continuation, why didn't they just let Scott Mcneil voice Jetfire once more? what was so wrong with that? why not bring back the Armada voice actor for Red alert? Hasbro, you're contradicting yourselves, you idiots

 

3. releasing this kind of stuff for botcon exclusives at rip-off prices and pissing us off for a third time [/rant]

 

but i must admit that repaint of Gigatron is ok. i always wanted that mold... it upsets me that Ironhide is a botcon exclusive. i really wanted one.

Wow, I'm in shock at the craptasticness of this news.  How they could screw up so badly is truly a mystery.  It's not like it's that hard to find out what the fans want - AND THESE SURE AS F*@& AIN'T IT!!
