Anyone notice that Vortex's instructions has Whirl's head?
All yes
Only some or one
None are worth it
Not even interested

OMG, I just had a play with the G2 version of this set and they are as cheap as sh*t!
Plastic feels KO quality or near, designs are mediocre at best with a lot of lazy shortcuts that compromise the figure. Very poor effort overall and it has really killed any ideas I had of getting the game colored accurate version since this molds are not even worth the relatively cheaper price of the G2 set.
It's not that I have been spoiled by higher quality 3rd party stuff, these guys are crap even by Hasbro's own standards of just a f few years ago. Even the Energon combiners have better built and design value at an individual figure level. At least I like the new combiner ports, they seem more secure and innovative.
They were better in their cool G2 box!

^totally agree. I don't even collect third party stuff, so from my POV, looking at it purely from Hasbro's own standards, these toys fall short.Originally Posted by kup

I have Onslaught, Swindle and Vortex, but if I want the other two it'll cost me an arm and a leg.

You're still keen though. I refuse to pay for 1 set of what is, according to the general consensus, a crap toy (or 5).^totally agree. I don't even collect third party stuff, so from my POV, looking at it purely from Hasbro's own standards, these toys fall short.

Bruticus is back on Amazon for $59 if anyone wants it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...pf_rd_i=507846
What kills me more is that I do want the game colored set because I did like his appearance in the game. It's a shame that I can't justify it because it is so over priced for such crappy molds.

I received my G2 one and the standard generations one but haven't got either out of the packaging yet. I wonder if there is a difference in quality of plastic between the two sets. I can see why people are disappointed in the individual bots without getting them out but hopefully I'll be happy with them when I do release them.

I was wondering when it would return to being in-stock at Amazon, if people were cancelling their pre-orders just to buy the local release here and from BBTS.
