What Lugnut REALLY needs is a Leader class figure. Brawl got a Leader class, Bulkhead is getting a Leader class, why can't Lugnut? As for his mace, he used it in "Garbage In, Garbage Out" so I'm OK with it. I'd also like for them to include his punch gimmick (the dreaded little red button).

:hbang :hbang :hbang

 

The Good

* Pretty cool transformation.

* Show accurate.

* Laserbeak :awsum

* G1 styled "tape deck"-ish car bumper.. ;)

 

The Bad

* Hey, shorty! :argh

* Legs are kinda loose, but not thaaaat loose. ;)

 

The Ugly

* When Laserbeak's perch on his hand, it's kinda heavy. :redface

* On guitar mode, Laserbeak's length beats that of his master.

Doesn't everyone hope he does.

Voyager Optimus Prime

 

The Prime (the good):

- Very show accurate

- Has the fire engine "trailer" (becomes the axe)

- Very G1-esque transformation

- Faceplate can slide up or down

- good light piping

 

The Megs (the bad):

- Automorph takes a bit of practice to get it to work

- Most joints are hinged instead of ratchet

- Automorph could potentially jam

 

The 'Screamer (the ugly/treacherous):

- Faceplate doesn't hide and looks weird when not up

- The axe, while better in person, is still a bit weak

Jazz (my boy):

 

The Good:

 

-Nice color scheme. Very G1 without being too much so.

-Same ninja posability as Prowl, but more stable.

-Very show accurate in both modes (right down to the "man in suit" look and rank insignia pointing to his crotch :eeek ).

-Nunchaku. 'Nuff said.

 

The bad:

 

-Hands are limited in their motion. Wouldn't be as much of a problem if it didn't detract from what you can do with his nunchaku.

-A bit hard to get him back into car mode because you have to slip the back of his legs under his windshield and it's a delicate operation.

 

The ugly:

-His legs are kinda huge. Much more so than in the show (I think). His feet sort of float out there on a hinge too instead of being connected solidly.

-If you store his nunchaku in their holsters in robot mode, they stick way out the back of his arms, though you can move them around elsewhere if you prefer.

Nice reviews/feedback y'all! keep it coming!

Here's a couple:

 

Bulkhead (Leader):

 

The Prime:

- Robot mode is in scale to the show

- The most electronic sounds out of any of the Animated Leaders

- The only Animated Leader to change lights and phrase when the Headmaster unit is attached (lights turn red and says, "OWNAGE!!! TOTAL OWNAGE!!!")

- The only current Bulkhead figure able to do a "chair mode"

 

The Megs:

- A bit big in vehicle

- Weapons aren't show accurate

- The waist needs a lot of force to detach from peg ("Am I going to break this?" feeling)

 

The 'Screamer:

- Doesn't follow the transformation on the show

 

Megatron (Leader)

 

The Prime:

- Both modes are show accurate

- Unique rotor gimmick (spin-linked blades - spin one blade, the other spins with it)

- Follows the transformation on the show almost exactly

- Three excellent phrases ("Where is the Allspark?!", "Crush the Autobots!", *evil laughter*)

 

The Megs:

- Is quite simple to transform for a Leader

- Shoulders don't lock in

 

The 'Screamer:

- Extra landing gear is useless

damn you and your ability to purchase both leaders :grr

 

Just kiddin :lol

Bumblebee:

 

The Prime:

- Is absolutely ADORABLE in both modes!

- Excellent light piping

- Quite articulate

 

The Megs:

- The feet, while not as bad as people make them out to be, are big

- The stripe doesn't run continuously in either mode (small spot near the back with no stripe, robot doesn't have stripe going down waist and leg)

 

The 'Screamer:

- The stingers don't fold in all the way despite being meant to. H :khaaan :khaaan SSBR :khaaan :khaaan :khaaan !!!! whew, excuse me! :jslaugh

- The screw in his waist is in an... unfortunate place...

 

Jazz:

 

The Prime:

- :awsum in ways only a ninja can be!

- Show accurate

- ANP (Awesome Ninja Poses)

- Solid car mode

-Exhaust pipes become num-chukkas!

 

The Megs:

- can be tricky to convert, not because of difficulty, but because of tightness

 

The 'Screamer:

- Uhhhhhh... Can't think of any...

Bumpity bump-bump bumpity bump-bump... :bump

 

Time to drag this back up to the surface...

 

Oil Slick:

 

The Prime:

- Sweet "chopper" mode

- sturdy joints

- can "ninja kick" better than Jazz!

- chain weapon is :awsum

 

The Megs:

- The torso looks a little odd

- "attack mode" is :ghey

 

The 'Screamer:

- Handlebars, fingers, and ram horns are made of a very soft plastic/rubber
