im sorry. this entire set, is just awful.

 

prime, purple and nonsensical. jazz and goldbug are regular looking autobots with purple insignias. which kind of defeats the whole purpose doesnt it? jazz is not bad himself. but i think goldbug is ugly. to much black, the head doesnt look right, and the car mode doesnt fit with the word "bug" in the name. grimlock as trypticon and starcream as jetfire are the only ones that makes sense, but i dont like them either. and ricco.... should be gold and black. or did they mix him up with goldbug? this is the first set that i thought was a total fail.

 

and its sold out? good god some people have to much money.

 

I agree with 90% of this post. No decepticons, making a self-mockery out of the entire concept behind their year's set, NO DECEPTICONS, very bad paint jobs.

 

Yet another poorly put together BotCon set. This is basically 0-3 here. I now have officially no hope for next years set.

 

Whoever is designing these figures needs to be taken off of the job. Not fired, but moved somewhere else...

 

i think the concept was good. i heard people say "megatron in prime colors with opposite headsand vice versa" and that was actually a good idea. had they done something like that, this may have been worth while. also i think the pre-beast wars set was good. i still plan to get that someday. and i asssume that there will decepticons, but theyll be out of the set exclusives.

 

but all that aside, its just an awful looking set. even the good looking sets shouldnt cost as much as they do. but this.... this is borderline insulting.

 

this set may as well have been called "g1 bots led by primes other brother."

The pterodactyl mold from Cybertron as an evil Swoop would've been better.

:pfx

 

Except 1) Brimstone was already a Decepticon in that series and 2) That mold IMO sucks the big one

Just... wow. The attendee exclusive figure is a redeco of a figure that's IN THE BOX SET, a mold I personally consider to be hideous, a super-obscure character, and a completely random color scheme?

 

Jeebus. Massive pass.

And this ricochet is much better? ;-)

Damn, someone really needs to buyout Botcon and revamp the whole idea of exculsive figures..... I tired of year after year of overpriced, crappy repaints!

 

And the overuse of the cybertron molds with the cyber keys, Hello, remold the figure without the stupid gimmick! I liked it when it first came out, but now.... its getting old!

 

Way to go Botcon, yet another year of you not getting my money for those figures!

Only in TFandom does someone complain for not being able to blow $300 on toys.

 

I for one am very happy with this set. After the Seeker set last year (DAMN YOU HASBRO!) it's nice to see a set that's both interesting (with, which the exception of Ricochet, this set is) and not something that the average collector feels he/she HAS to own. Something that the hardcore collectors will buy while also grabbing the interest of the casual collector/fan. This is a pretty good BotCon set, IMO. I just wish there were more heroic Decepticons.
