In fact, everything is mismatched. Shockwave is suppose to be already purplish in his true undisguised decepticon colour. :)

I've spent too much on Hasbro Animated and have collected every toy that appeared on the show (no repaints that don't make sense). I doubt I'll be able to (and most probably won't) do the same for the TakaraTomy ones. I might only get the 5 main Autobots, Arcee and other newer designs if the Hasbro ones end up to be difficult to obtain.

That's a position I would take too if I had collected the Hasbro ones before Henkei. It's a reasonable position to take as these paint jobs may be far superior to Hasbro's offering in quality but are not worth rebuying all the figures.

hmmm Just wish they made a bigger lugnut, He shouldve been leader class:(. Arcee yes!

Or better yet, an _actual_ Voyager sized Lugnut!!

The average Deluxe figure is about 15cm whereas the average Voyager is 18cm. Lugnut stands at a diminutive 15cm, which is a rip considering that he was sold at the Voyager price point (avg. RRP $45).

Lugnut's size has more to do with his transformation than actual plastic quantity don't you think?

My god you're right! It's like this one time back in 1984 when I bought a toy called Gears who cost the same as a bunch of other mini Autobots, only Gears was shorter than all the other ones! What a rip off! I'm going to write to the consumer watchdog about it immediately. :mad:

Plus Lugnut is bloody wide - much wider than your average Deluxe, which is where a lot of the plastic goes, along with his great big mace.

Come to think of it, doesn't that mean Lockdown ought to have cost 45 bucks? :confused:

Too crap.

As much as I love the whole concept of Lockdown, he was a hopelessly executed toy with too many severe design flaws.

He is fine at a deluxe price point because even at that cost he feels like a rip off.
