aw man i really wish that fire guts sonic convoy is cheap... :tfsad well as in cheap enough ofr my budget

The Silver/Red Binaltech colorscheme is starting to be played out....

 

That said, i like Broadblast a lot more than Skids.

That's supposed to be Blaster? Looks more like Ironhide. And that's a good thing.

looks more like Crosscut.

So the figures that come with the BTAs aren't posable? It comes with a standing and a sitting PVC?

it's not Hasbro's fault that the only way a japanese import car can sell in North America is if it is riced-out. blame the narrowminded car-jocks who think that appearence is more important than performance.

Narrow-minded car jocks buy $20 Transformers? :-/

 

...Didn't know flame decals on toys were that important to them. :P
