    Additional comments

    Dark of the Moon toy comments:
    "Disappointing and not enough refreshes of new waves. However, new engineering techniques came out"

    "Didn't buy many, they were a big let down after the high of the ROTF line"

    "It's a shame the early waves are still clogging up shelf space. Maybe I don't want 50 new Deluxe Bumblebee's."

    "Need to have all the wreckers in weapons mode in one size class"

    "This was like picking the best of the worst."

    "Hasbro has invented a working reductoray, it would seem...when will they start selling it?"

    "All good! I love em!"

    "A solid series although more paint apps would have gone a long way"


    Other toyline comments:
    "Picking a top 3 RTS Deluxe was very hard, there are so many good ones."

    "Give the fans what they want. CHUG STUFF!"

    "A good year for Classics enthusiasts."

    "2011 was a bad year for TFs."

    "MP-10 - BEST. OPTIMUS. EVER. Excellent toy!"

    "Like the smaller amount of united/generations figures, makes them feel more special. Also good to have real tf figures out during a movie year."


    Fiction comments:
    "While IDW's ongoing series and connecting stories haven't been ideal this year... it's kept me interested and pleased to see some really left-field characters get some page space here and there."

    "Prime was a welcome addition to TF lore"

    "Hasbro and Co have created something beautiful in Transformers: Prime, not since Beast Wars have I found myself actively looking forward to the next episode of a TF cartoon; as it is very likely that this show is the best written Transformers Televised Fiction since the aforementioned series and could well be the new "G1" for today's kids."

    "Looking forward to the future of transformers comics. The Death Of Optimus Prime is my pick for comics this year!"

    "Humans in Transformers Prime are some of the most annoying characters in all of Transformers cartoons."
