Disappointed with DOTM movie toys

[tinyJazz]

Ooh!
Thank you for reminding me of Hatchet too Tinyjazz!

Hey, no problem! You actually reminded me about Guzzle before I got around to posting.

Also Powerglide gets a green repaint I think. There's a pic somewhere of it in the botcon hasbro display.

new character or just repaints?

You can always take out the spring from the weapon, that's what I did with Thundercracker's Chainsaw.

I'm not so much dissapointed with this line as I'm satisfied with what I already have. I have the sentinel leader, Crankcase, powerglide, Human Alliance Green Wrecker and Voyager Megs. they are filling out the collection, I'll definitely be getting Ironhide. though with Ironhide and Sentinel, it's tempting to wait and see if there are any sweet chromed up repaints released like the buster prime we got here.

You are going to be hard pressed to beat the rotf leader prime, and any of the ROTF Human Alliance figures I think, so for me those characters are already spoken for. Some of the smaller Human alliance figures are great, like the snow mobile, it's nice to see some distinctly different vehicles.

I don't particularly care for the mechtek stuff but it doesn't particularly detract either.

I am keen to see what gets announced at the SDCC. that will guide the rest of my purchasing decisions.

From what we've seen so far all I'm interested in are

- Wreckers at HA size, pending announcement of Top Spin at that scale (otherwise I'm just getting Roadbuster).
- Hatchet, Guzzle, Powerglide at that Cyberverse Commander (?) sizepoint

From what's been confirmed but not shown yet I really want HA Soundwave

Finally, I'm really really really hoping that they make a good Dino figure, preferably at the Deluxe and also HA size points. I dig the design, the 458, the colours. I need Dino to have a good toy.

Everything else is middle of the road, save Deluxe Topspin who to be fair is a cracking deluxe figure. Roadbuster at that size point is fairly good as well. Vyager Megatron is the best movie Megatron yet although that's basically tantamount to being the least gammy in a pack of lepers. Skyhammer was one that I thought I'd enjoy a lot more than I did. Starscream and Jolt were kind of disappointing. No other DotM figure has tempted me yet - I was considering Shockwave and might pick him up on a whim if I see him but that's it really.

What convention is it that we get to see more toys?

Well, So far, I have quite a few only in my list of "to-buy" from the line.

1) Powerglide -I have already but feel cheated with the pricepoint. Then I see the price in Phils, for it AJh%^E@%^%@&@$&^%@. Should've waited.
2) Shockwave - dont have it yet. Decooompooooooooooossse!! hehehehe
3) Guzzle - from what Ive seen in the Tf news posted all over forums it'll fit right in with my Classicverse shelf so Im definitely getting that. Dont have it yet.
4) Laserbeak - Well I got Ravage, Scorponok and Frenzy might as well get this little minion too. At least he appeared in the movie several times. Don't have it yet.
5) Hatchet - it's something different and I don't have this yet as well.

MIGHT get if the price is really cheap

Sentinel Prime - Im pretty sure it'll go down sooner or later

Im dissapointed with the downsizing and cheaper look that this toy line has gone to, that is why I won't be buying a lot of them. They simply don't look appealing to me and I feel cheated paying for such downsized toys at same pricepoint for the sizing class they "claim" to be, when obviously it's just the boxes/packaging that makes them such and such size class.

The thing that bugs me most is the inconsistency with Wreckers...

let's see:

Wreckers Name: | Size Class | Armored? |

Topspin | Legion | NO
Roadbuster | Legion | ??? |
Leadfoot | Legion | YES |

Topspin | Deluxe | YES
Roadbuster | Deluxe | NO |
Leadfoot | Deluxe | ??? |

Topspin | HA | ????
Roadbuster | HA | YES |
Leadfoot | HA | NO |

What the hell Hasbro, can't we get at least one class with fully armored cars?!?!?! SHEESH!!
