Loving Prowl and Cybertron mode Prime. Can't get Prowl stand on two feet without having to lean on something. Standing him on 1 foot is easy oddly enough.

 

Just arrived!! :argh :argh

It's really hard to transform Starscream back into alt-mode. -_-

Got Cybertron OP, Prowl and Leader Megatron (so far). Gotta say Prime is my favorite, he's such an awesome little truck ^^

Just got Autobot Jazz.

 

He is not the end-all, be-all of the Animated line as some claimed he was, but he is cool nonetheless. I actually dig his alt-mode more than his bot mode.

 

Minor gripe: The shoulder joints are WAY too tight and whatever mechanism that is use to lock the hood in place in bot mode is WAY too loose. I try to pose him in a sweet Michelangelo nunchuk pose, his whole chest moves. Same problem with the hip joints, they're simply too tight. Like "the ball is going to break off" tight.

 

Minor praise: Looking at his alt-mode, I wasn't expecting him to be as tall as Prowl.

I think I got a better one than you did. I have none of those QC problems. :(

People complained about lackluster Screamer QC. Mine's all fine, except the right arm just a lil' bit loose. :shrug

I think I got a better one than you did. I have none of those QC problems. :(

I don't think it's really a QC issue, its just that the ball fits into the socket very tightly. Same problem on my son's Jazz (Yeah, we got 2 of 'em.) If the shoulder joints weren't so tight, I don't think the chest would have a problem staying in place.

 

Another bit of praise: the paint job was well done on mine, no flaws that I could find.

 

Doesn't detract from the figure in any way other than its hard to put him in an Enter the Dragon pose quickly.

 

I would really hate it if Hasbro decided to use this Meg repaint as an excuse to simply get Megs upgraded into Galvatron without having to create new Leader-class mold for the possible appearance of Galvatron on the future seasons of :animated

 

 

 

:redface

 

You realize that you're talking about Hasbro, right? If not this repaint, then they'll likely do another repaint of it for Glavatron! You KNOW they would... (it's worked four times now, why stop there?) :07redface :tflaugh

 

I think thats more TAK's doing than hasbro personally.. they're the ones that keep making purple megatron repaints :tfevil

FWIW, Reprolabels.com has 2 new Animated upgrade sets- an extensive Bumblebee set and a Voyager Optimus Prime. Just ordered both, look nice.
