    Oh come now, you seem to be forgetting the wonderful "robot in disguise" that is Energon Ironhide!

    "MUMMY MUMMY MUMMY! That car that just drove past had a head on top of it!"

    Despite their (numerous/many/holy crap why do they all suck so badly?) faults, the BM toys still at least retained the robots in disguise concept.

    But yeah, there'd be a number of them making the finals that's for sure.

    That is certainly a bold statement Particularly when it comes to the Maximals who just look like multi colored Alien monster freaks.

    I think the Vehicons on the whole were quite good, with pretty much all of them worth getting.
    As for the Maximals, my picks are: Blackarachnia, Snarl, Skydive, Nightviper, Buzzsaw, Beast Changer, N.S. Cheetor & Hammerstrike.
    Silverbolts main problem is that he's not supposed to be an eagle...he's a griffin (not the burger making kind).

    I'm surprised no one seems to like Air Attack Supreme Primal...

    I pretty much have all the BM toys, the only one I considered a complete flop was the deluxe blue Monkey Optimus(What an absolute horror). Strika I would highly recommend and Beast changer as well.

    Megabolt Megatron is pretty ordinary... it's better than the first BM Megatron toy, but that's not saying much.

    The Megabolt Megatron toy's alt mode is okay, but the legs look really stupid. And it cannot transform into its assault mode, instead it has a robot mode. I can understand this from a toy marketing POV, but it's detractive in terms of show-accuracy. The toy would've been so much better if it didn't have the stupid undercarriage with the wheels and bug legs. Blargh.

    The only toy that I can think of which is more representative of that is Titanium Optimal Optimus. Only because he lacks an Ape mode and so that 'Optimal Megatron'.

    Edit: Sorry I had called Titanium OP OP 'Megatron' by mistake.

    But doesn't that figure have OpOp's face? :/ A retool of that figure with Megatron's face would be a really neat limited exclusive figure.
