I agree (chalk me up on the opposite side of the line to Snazzbot and Golden Phoenix). Toy Ironhide and Ratchet are awesome, way better than their cartoon counterparts. Ratchet is my favourite Diaclone Autobot car - if I could only have one then I'd choose him. He comes with his own repair bay!Quote:

Ah yes, those very same tech specs that say that Ironhide's "Trithyllium-steel skin makes him nearly invulnerable" also say he's the "most fragile of the group" three sentences later. Go Bob. (I assume by "fragile" Budiansky meant Ironhide "breaks down the most", which is what he changed it to by the time of Transformers Universe #2.)Quote:

The protos look good. But I don't have as much confidence in TFC's plastica quality and QC. :p
SWEET :DQuote:

I'm not a fan of the ladder either. And with the exception of the cassette, I'm not to keen over all.
I just hope it looks better in colours
I think this is worth it for the cassette alone!
I'd agree, but my wallet would say otherwiseQuote:

wow! :eek: all weapons looks astonishing!!
I like this auto scout better, just because it has holes in it. :D
also wanting to get a set...if price would sound reasonable. :)
Yeah I would like one of this kit too!Quote:

And btw Kyle, tell us more bout TFC plastic quality/QC, if you could. Cheers! :)
I do think their Battle Rollar was a little loose at the joints. And the toy felt very "delicate" and a lot of care has to be taken when transforming. :o The designs in this new set though are much simpler so hopefully not as much care will have to be taken. :p:D
<fingers-crossed> :D
I think Battle Roller was too ambitious. I would have been happy with just an oversize Roller for MP Prime.
The missiles are still huge though. Its a bit offputting as they don't look as if they will be good to display but the ladder and Autoscout still make the set.
i'm not really likeing the colours of the missiles, personally I would of prefered three black and silver
autoscout should come with a tech spec. :))
That about sums it up for me.Quote:

Still looks too big.
Is there a group order for this set going?
I also think they're still a little too big, but am happy they listened to fan opinions and attempted to improve. What I don't like is that the colours will be random. I don't like buying something not knowing what I'll be getting exactly. :/ I can see many fans will want to share or swap the contents.
Sidewipe's looks ok but Mirage's is still huge.
The random color bit is something that is putting me off.
just 1 for me but without Inferno out here in Australia...this set seems abit redundant now
I only want chrome :(
Autoscout should have a tech spec!!!!!!!!!!!
And the ladder head gear should have those two wing thingy on each side
Looks like the colors are no longer random:

However I can't say that I am a fan of the missile design nor the colors chosen but at least now I know what I am getting. The ladder and autoscout is what keeps this set going but I am a bit perplexed at the ideas they keep coming up with in regards to the missiles.
Instead they should have tried to mimic G1 weapon coloring for the present Universe figures such as Mirage and Sidewsipe instead of this randomness.
A sword for Grimlock would also have been very nice.
Silver and Black Missle - ok
Red - not so ok.
Still very interested, though I'd want more than one set in order to have more Silver and Black Missles.
