Animated Wave 1 toys - comments and poll.

Played with Bumblebee the 2 pack figures and Lockdown last night, and I am overa-ll very impressed. The transformations are simply, yet not overly so.

Bumblebee is the weakest of the line thus far, and I think he will remain there. The feet, stingers and paint apps are not up to par with the rest of the figures I have.

Bulkhead is still my favourite though, but 2 pack Prime is mighty spiffy, only that stupid rotating waist gimmick ruins him, but twisting him around a few times seems to unlock the punch action. Same with Megatron. His Cybertronian mode is very weak, but he is a very nice looking figure otherwise.

So has anyone figured out what the traffic light with Prowl is all about?

So far I have only seen the "premiere" of the show. I just haven't managed to view the rest yet. But I really like the toys in themselves. Now I am worried that the rest of the show may put me off

Oh well, if I can cope with Headmasters and Masterforce (just barely), I'm sure I can cope with the weird storylines in Animated I have heard about.

I think the point of the traffic light with Prowl is that he is able to use anything as a weapon, with his mastery of Circuit-Su

Nothing to worry about, its miles above Headmasters. Season 2 is especially sweet.

Probably just to make up extra bulk in the pack with it being a smaller toy than the rest of the deluxes. Hasbro said they did that with Cybertron Scattorshot (the basic sized one) by adding the extra large backpack to bring it up to similar volume/mass to the basic range.
The traffic lights are pretty meaningless and is just a block of plastic, but could be what is substituted for the armour in the next release.

Is it possible to align Cybertron Prime w/out the gaps? I've tried and tried but have no hope it seems.

[jaydisc]

Align what? The back legs? You need the gap for the axe. Or do you mean the cockpit? Should be no gaps there. Be specific.

[STL]

Sorry, gaps for the cockpit/front b/n the front windscreen and the arms. .

[jaydisc]

It can indeed be done gap free. However, with all the recent QC complaints, this might be a specific issue for you. Bring your figure on Sunday.
