Movie styled? how so?

 

Well, lad, here's some clues for ya..

 

 

See the Cons' eyes? And compare to this one. See? The same sleek n sharp looking eyes, right?

 

Now, compare with that of Leader Megatron's chest logo..

And compare to this one. Bigger eyes and more G1 looking, right?

 

There's the differences for ya. ;)

 

Caine, do you have prowl? can you tell me if his head is bigger than bliz's icy head?

 

Unfortunately no, Naka. I'm only planning to get the Cons. ;)

 

Yea lol. I plan on (somehow) fixing that so they can move forward.

 

AFAIK, there's some guy who modded his cannon to be able to point forward just like on the cartoon, I forgot when and where I saw it. It's awesome, though.

*Previous quote moved for obvious reasons*

Oh, huh. Learn something new. I didn't really pay much attention to Prowl's packaging. I thought you were talking about how his hands can only hold his traffic light and throwing stars. I do hope for the redeco, this hands fix Hasbro spoke about will swipe G.I. Joe's Kung-Fu grip to give him more stuff around the house to use as weapons. :tflaugh

Yea. I'm looking forward to that fix to, It's supposed to be with sidecar prowl. I hope the helmet is good...

 

Btw, like the quick pro's n' con's review style. Good way to get a quick idea of the toy.

 

Thanks!! :bounce I got the idea cuz I was watchin that Ollie North's gold episode of American dad.

Ah, now I see. It is pretty cool now that you mention it. And why you only gettin the 'Cons? they need someone to fight.. Or are they just gunna beat on Wasp/inator?

A little off topic (but it's mine so I can :mwahaha) but i saw a Null-ray gun fix for screamer, can someone find it/give me some advice on how to do so myself?

Starscream (my version)

 

The Prime (the good):

 

- extremely accurate to the show in both modes

- excellent articulation

- 'Bullet Bill' style missiles are :awsum

- super easy to transform

- it's STARSCREAM. Need I say more? :P

 

The Megs (the bad):

- huge chin

- color is different to show color (but not quite Thundercracker blue)

 

The 'Screamer (the ugly/treacherous):

- parts have been known to pop off (mostly his legs or fingers)

 

Lockdown

 

The Prime:

- very accurate to the show in both modes

- very good articulation

- simple transformation (not as easy as Starscream though)

- taller than any other Deluxe so far (I think)

- very stable if there are no joint issues

- can 'give back' EMP device to Animated Ratchet

 

The Megs:

- is not 100% accurate

- legs will pop off if you follow the instructions provided (not like they're really needed)

 

The 'Screamer:

- the hands, if left unmodified, are very odd and likely to break (if you don't realize that the hands only come out part way before)

 

Please note that these ar my opinions on these two Animated figures.

 

And I thought that the hand fix was for Lockdown?

Nice variation. as for the lockdown fix, it's here.

Just Picked up

GRIMLOCK

 

The Good

 

* Really sweet figure in both modes

 

* Super G1 Accurate - in a way that I wish this had been Classics Grim.

 

* Overall - I am really happy with this guy!

 

The Bad

 

* Legs are a little weak

 

* Robot is Top/Back heavy (seems to be a running theme with these guys)

 

* Gaping hole in Dino chest (really not that bad in person - no different than seeing robo parts on the bottom of a carformer)

 

but... really not much...

 

The Ugly

 

* Oh he's ugly all right - in all the right ways.

 

* Robot arms are a little odd - there is a fix posted for them - but they are not so bad that i think i need to saw stuff up.

 

* Swordy doesn't go anywhere in Dino mode. It would be nice if it slid into the gaping hole in the dino.. but no luck there.

The box claims that it fits into his snappy jaw to make fire breath -but i havent been able to get it in there .... maybe i am doing it wrong.

ah. nice. He's (one of) the next one I plan on getting.

Really? thats sound cool. I need to try it when I get mine.

Don't bother. It looks silly as it can't fit in all the way (from what I gather). And I have that list of fixes Bookmarked, though I'm thinking of drilling through the excess bits in the arms proper instead of his hands. I'll try with the right first as it's usually covered by his hook attachment (which is awesome).

What kind of fixes are they? can you post links to them?

Sure! Linky (look familiar?) The fixes are from Jin Saotome. They're simple fixes, but are pretty darn useful to have!
