Animated Wave 1 toys - comments and poll.

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.

The storylines in Animated aren't exactly weird, they're just different from previous TF series. It's not like it's the TF version of Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Awesome. I've seen it (and all his reviews), but I'll go back and look.

I love his reviews because they're so concise. There's another reviewer that starts each review with the matrix, prime helmet and some stupid quote and he just waffles for 10 minutes every time. I can't take it.

Oh, that guy. I watch his reviews, since he has some stuff that peaugh doesn't have (like Snarl) but he just sounds so pathetic. Especially "What up Transformer fans". No-one SAYS 'What Up' anymore (except him).

I love voyager bulk head and starscream so far,
haven't opened cybertron mode voyager megs though.. don't think i will.

I don't know why you guys don't like starscream, he's ace! love his robot mode. His alt mode is a bit strange, but I like how they even added the automorph feature in starscream still. love

gripe: wish he had show accurate arm cannons

One thing i love about both: Not that many twisty ties!!! Yaaaay

I really like Starscream too - i happened to notice this Macross PLUS 1/60 YF-19 looks very similar in the legs, and if the chest folded up on Starscream, it'd look similar there too! Perhaps SS was partly inspired by this toy?

And also... while he certainly has faults, Voyager Megs does have good points too, but yes, almost all of them in robot mode. His alt mode can look like a bucket of bolts, but at the same time, the little flaps at the back, and on the sides, can move around into different positions. You may find there's a position that makes him look better to you than the official pics. I could imagine some younger kids having fun 'using their imagination' with the moving pieces, moreso than Starscream, who's quite static in his alt mode.

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

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. .
