Scrash Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I'm trying to get the whole Classics/Universe/Generations collection started, and I'm pretty much trying to get the majority of the Prime line. At least, I want the show cast, though a few of the non-show characters look really nice (Hot Shot and Dead End come to mind). Quote plop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least, I want the show cast, though a few of the non-show characters look really nice (Hot Shot and Dead End come to mind).This is what I say with Hot Shot: If you have FE Bumblebee and you never got the PRID version, get Hot Shot. If you have PRID Bumblebee would like the mold better if it wasn't Bumblebee, get Hot Shot. If you don't have either FE or PRID Bumblebee because you hate Bumblebee, get Hot Shot.Hot Shot is the DOTM Thundercracker for me; a repaint of a mold that almost everybody would normally pass over that improves upon the original toy but is a non-screen character. (Coincidentally, they're both blue.)Basically what I'm saying is buy Hot Shot. EVERYONE. *runs and cradles PRID Hot Shot*TNG. If you want a good movie bumblebee, go human alliance. One of my favoritesI second this. As one who isn't really into Movie Bumblebee's design in general, HA Bumblebee is a fantastic toy and easily the best one yet (arguably tied with Battle Blades; BB has a more accurate head and sizes better with the others).

(in case you didn't notice, I've got a thing with swords)and when i say favorite i don't mean favorite BB, i mean all time top pick of my collection favorite.

Axilus Prime Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Movie Leader BB has that modification from the third movie, and more accurate all around. Especially the legs, definitely has HA beat there. HA owns him in scale though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryker055 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Leader may be (arguably) more accurate to the CGI model, but HA is hands-down the better toy.Plus Leader comes with a big chunk of pure gimmick, while HA's gimmick is very subtle.

Axilus Prime Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Leader's gimmick isn't in the toy, it attaches to it, and thus doesn't interfere with the toy. I'll admit, HA has those cool pop-out weapons, but I find it annoying that you need the partner human to activate them. Never saw Sam jump on BB and pull a weapon out of his body before. I've watched the video reviews, so I've seen both from all around, and seen what they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axilus Prime Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I don't have the cash to buy Barricade. Or even BB, most likely.I'm mostly going for Ultimate OP and Voyager Megs. (Though Sentinel was the main villain of DOTM, Voyager Megs is hands-down the best Megs ever, and it's more fitting.) Therefore, spare cash will be used on Sentinel.

Stryker055 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Voyager Megs is my favorite mold from the DOTM line. It's a darn shame they didn't make a Leader class out of that design. Probably would've blown the last two out of the water (not that that's a hard feat, heh).Leader Sentinel is an amazing toy, but his transformation is almost torturous. Still, though, the engineering is amazing. I still can't get over how his arms go inside his legs. Quote Check out Brown Box Reviews, where I review toys... and that's about it!

Axilus Prime Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I have it, and as you said HA is less screen accurate but better than DOTM Leader, I say the same for Ultimate and ROTF Leader. Yes, Sentinel's transformation is more painful than ROTF Jetfire's. (Who took me two hours the first time.) Though the toy is amazing.

JPNML Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Personally, my favourite character is Wasp. too bad he kept getting punched apart and blown up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrash Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) I have to agree with Lockon on Hot Shot. Considering I grew up with Armada, he was a really nice find. Ratchet's also a really good mold, but gah, that scale. It just doesn't work for me. In other news:Voyager DreadwingVoyager Ultra MagnusVoyager ThundertronVoyager SkyquakeAwesome. Really happy that Skyquake is in fact getting a toy. Magnus and Thundertron (dat peg leg) both look really good, and hopefully they'll make it into the show. Heck, I kinda want all the Star Seekers to at least get toys. It's neat to see a third Cybertronian faction. Now confirmation for Hasbro's Breakdown, please.

Stryker055 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 The toy itself is confirmed, but only for a Takara release. It's obvious that the Hasbro release will turn up sooner or later, though. They might even pull a Dreadwing/Skyquake and release it alongside the Silas redeco when it comes out.

kalhiki Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Silas redeco. Black repaint of Breakdown (seen at the Tokyo Toy Show, I think). I'm sure we'll get a regular Breakdown. After all, he was a more important character than Skyquake.And Season 3? Heck, we're not even done with 2 yet. The show's on break until... Who knows when. At least we're getting Animated on the Hub to tide us over until then.Kalhiki Edited June 27, 2012 by kalhiki Quote You're Doomed, Rayman!Boy!

Axilus Prime Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Oh. Season 2 wasn't over? The break's length suggested it. Then again, Season 1 had this issue as well. Black Breakdown? Ah. Spoiler, it would seem. There was, after all, the scene of Season 2 Episode 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker055 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Yeah, the end of "Nemesis Prime" made it pretty obvious that Breakdown's body will be host for Silas sometime in the future. Takara's black Breakdown pretty much confirms it. Quote Check out Brown Box Reviews, where I review toys... and that's about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrash Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 It's not. He's easily one of the highlights of the show for me, especially since we don't see much of Soundwave or Megs in recent episodes (Triage excluded). Quote plop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryker055 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) Knock Out is on his way to becoming the best character in Prime, unless the writers don't follow up on his hinted disdain for Soundwave and/or Megatron... which, sadly, seems like something the Prime writers would do.

Element Lord of Milk Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 So i guess the reason Bumblebee's legs were so short is that I transformed them wrong, he looks much better now, although I'd prefer his chest to be a little less blocky, as is the lower half is incredibly thin and the top half is the entire front of the car mode, ideally there would be a bit more of a gradual slope, but eh, he's still good. I also discovered that arcee's shoulders had an extra swivel, so now they're much more mobile, which definitely improves her. I'm still probably going to get the RID version eventually, just because I think it looks better(Balljoint wrists instead of hinges, Blue arms, better panel kibble management).~ELM~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
