    What's with those colours??? Don't tell me Universe 2.0 is really just a continuation of Universe???

    Noooo!!!!!

    I've got no Problem with them doing hommage to Micromasters. Big Daddy looked pretty cool even if his head was wrong. But this doesn't look anything like Treadbolt, And Stormcloud would have been better of as Tailwind so they could paint him blue.

    Can't say I can be bothered buying at best average repaints of Voyager and Mega size TF's, Not even a big fan of the Jetfire mould it's to much of a mistmatch of jet bits for me.

    I think these will be passes for me, If I'm after repaints I'd rather go with Acidstorm at least he's a little bit novel.

    It's Hasbro what else can one expect?

    I was expecting the first few in the line to be decent and after that for the Archer tradition to continue. Since the start of the Archer regime it seems normal for a line to start with a few decent-good toys and then its bombarded with mindless and totally unfocused repaints until the line dies bitterly.

    I don't get Archer, he sacrifices the character tribute (colors) on the Hasbro release of Powerglide for the sake realism but shortly after he releases a repaint that looks even more unrealistic than red???

    Damn Archer, when is he going to leave?

    What irks me though is no one ever seems to ask these questions at the conventions in the US. American cons seem to just be absolutely in awe of the toy designers/Hasbro at 'cons but then online whine on and on about it.
