From yesterday:

[GoktimusPrime]

I caved in and bought the Battle In Space pack on special at Target. I might keep Cyclonus as "Armada"... undecided about Rodimus (might keep him so I can display one in vehicle mode).

I haven't opened the toys yet (I opened it up and took the comic out to read it, which was the main reason for getting this set... boy was that disappointing (-_-)) -- so I'm not sure if the Matrix comes with a chain to sling around someone's neck (like Galvatron II did). If it does then I'll put it on my Universe Galvatron's neck... if not then I'm not sure if I want to keep it. :/

Like probably everyone else bought Battle In Space pack, I much prefer the purple they have used for Cyclonus from the original Hasbro release.

[GoktimusPrime]

they should make a green Grapple repaint for Classicsverse Hauler.

Like probably everyone else bought Battle In Space pack, I much prefer the purple they have used for Cyclonus from the original Hasbro release.

I like both. Universe Cyclonus' darker purple is more G1 toy-accurate and thus more like the way he was (usually) coloured in the G1 comics. Also, Cyclonus was coloured in a darker purple in the fourth season of the US cartoon when he became a Targetmaster - so really, for Targetmaster Cyclonus the Universe colour is more show-like too. RtS Cyclonus' colours ("mid" purple) are quite accurate to his colours in Transformers The Movie, but I think Henkei Cyclonus' colours (more lavender) are more accurate for Season 3.

I like RtS Cyclonus because he does have the TFTM colours, but more appealing for me is the lack of mismatching colours on the thighs which was a problem with Universe Cyclonus. RtS Nightstick's colours also beat Universe Nightstick's colours hands down.

I was disappointed that the Matrix didn't come with a neck chain (I would've loved to have hung it around Universe Galvatron's neck), but I was impressed that it's shinier than New Year Convoy's matrix.

Huzzah!! Team is coming together!!!

[heroic_decepticon]

I know it's (sometimes) more cartoon accurate, but a Grapple toy with an orange head doesn't look right to me.

Cartoon accuracy is paramount!
