    This is what the toy looks like without the window stickers...

    .


    I used all the stickers EXCEPT the window stickers, because to me, it defeats the purpose of having a translucent toy if large parts of it is covered up with stickers... especially the windows, which are the one part that should be transparent/translucent.

    Did you want the window stickers I'm not likely to use? Most of the Cliffjumper stickers are windows, so that would only leave 3 or 4 to try and salvage off your own sheet.

    I was not going to use my stickers, but thought Terrorcon Cliffjumper's chest looked 2-dimensional without them.

    They really should have printed the window stickers on a sheet of plastic transparent black stickers. I'm sure that would not have made a substantial production increase.

    That would have been a great idea - translucent stickers, even if they were another colour... so that you can give the figure a bit more depth with colours, without losing the see-through gimmick.

    Translucent stickers would also give the plastic underneath a thin layer of protection from scratching

    Sorry for the late reply Griffin, no I won't need your stickers. Thanks for the offer anyways.

    Well instead of using translucent stickers you could use black-wash paints, such a thing exists from Games Workshop.

    Man I hated that level. Yawn. IN fact quite a lot of that game was yawn. The Soundwave level was OK.

    The part when I had to keep rescuing Bumblebee from the Decepticon snipers was annoying. What a stupid git -- he keep repeatedly walking into sniper traps! Does he have a learning difficulty or is he just a sucker for punishment?!? (o_O)

    The Soundwave level!!! I got up to the last part, where you have to escape the erupting volcano... and I kept on losing, so I hit "restart chapter," thinking that the chapter started when Soundwave had to go inside the NEST base - but NOOOOO, it restarted from when Soundwave arrives on Earth!! So I had to spend a freaking hour trying to quickly replay Soundwave driving around and hacking into satellite towers, blowing up Autobot Gumbies, then had to freaking replay the Laserbeak level -- which is hard to quickly play through because of the labyrinthine nature of the NEST base, plus Laserbeak's low-powered weapons means you have to do lots of hit and run guerilla style tactics, which is freaking time consuming as!

    Because I thought that the last part was timed, but it's not... sort of. You just have to keep outrunning the lava (as you know). But... ggrraaaarrrgh! Many swear words! (just as well the protoform and missus were asleep ) -- but yeah, after redoing that whole stupid level again and then finally finishing it, je suis pas "bover'ed" to play anymore, so I quit and went to bed.

    Anyway... on the Starscream level next. Hope that'll be better.
