I really like the transformations on the wave 3 stuff, they'll be fantastic as Blitzwing and Octankor. The 3 legends class guys are all super neat too (Peaugh also uploaded them recently).

I like that Megatron have a separate Titanmaster seats for each mode.

Here's the rest that Peaugh uploaded. Gnaw looks pretty nice.

Is IDW Megatron's cannon as gigantic in-comic as that MMC figure? He usually doesn't wear it as an autobot so...
It's pretty big but not THAT big, presumably it is used to fill in the vehicle mode. The Gladiator alternate comes with a gently caress off huge drill I believe? The one reviewer thought it would transform into a jet, but maybe it turns into a huge tank or drill tank and needs that huge gun to fill in the drill's slot as well.

edit: Oh I found a picture, supposedly this is altmode

I kinda like Laser Rod Cyberjet Optimus, even with the front half of a trailer hanging off the rear end end of the jet. I think I'm actually more likely to get him than Octane. But then i'm fighting with myself as to whether or not to keep collecting the main line at all, when I don't play with them nearly as much as MPs anymore.

Odds are good he'll be around for the post-christmas sales are dismal sales, so you'll probably be able to pick him up for under twenty. The Canadian kellogg's annual coupons should be rolling out soon too.

Jem would fit I guess. MLP even Dougworld one does not.

Where the gently caress are Inhumanoids and Starriors though? MTME Megs vs NOT CTHULHUS needs to happen. And Earth Core armor is totally stolen S.N.A.K.E. armor...

Inhumanoids are part of the upcoming Hasbro Cinematic Universe, or at least were on the table for the HCU writer braintrust to use. That's right, a live action Inhumanoids movie might happen. Probably won't, because I think the HCU is going to last maybe two movies, but still, that's closer than I ever thought it'd get.

I don't know if Takara/Tomy even remembers they own Starriors.

Watford?

The Smyths there had Leader Blaster, Soundwave and OP, Voyagers Astrotrain, Alpha Trion, and Sentinel (I'm sure they had Galvatron too if I'd looked), and all of the Wave 2 Deluxes.

I checked Walgreens near me and they had no transformers whatsoever. But I noticed a small peg with some lego collectible mini figure pouches on it. I felt one and it had a huge solid object in it so I bought it, and lo and behold, it was exactly what I wanted

They are, but if you manhandle the bag you can usually feel for the larger parts, and it's super easy to tell the banana suit because it's almost as long as the bag.

Just feel for the stem and it becomes immediately apparent.

The only problem is they're 4 bucks now, they used to be 3, but I guess with all the custom pieces they're making for the collectible figures they feel it's worth increasing the price over. There's lots of other suit based ones, including Left Shark, a hot dog man, and many others. I'm sure there's plenty of images of what the CMF line has in it but looking that up on my phone isn't easy

My Bee KO has some pretty severe issues. The license-plate slot is badly cracked (and thus too loose to hold anything) and there's a very scary fracture along one side of the torso that makes transforming him terrifying.

I have all five of them.

He's good. They all have a wibbly knee joint(thanks Thew for getting me on "wibbly") and the hood doesn't plug into the torso properly(just file the tab down a bit and it'll work) but otherwise they are nigh-flawless.

I've got Golden Lambor, his pelvic flap needed a little sanding, and the tab to pin his torso together needed sanding too.

I found my brother's G1 Brainstorm in a box of old poo poo. He's missing his right arm and his matching gun. I'd be sad, but the new TR deluxe is beautiful, comparatively. And his headmaster's flap that covers the back-face is floppy, so falls down in robot mode.
