    Hasbro, you keep using the statement "In honor of the 30th anniversary of the Transformers brand", I do not think it means what you think it means.

    These look ridiculous. Look more like something from a gay Mardi Gras.

    The bit I don't really understand is why Entertainment Tonight is covering comic book convention exclusive Transformer toys?

    Also, how funny would it have been if the Knights vs Pirates theme from BotCon, had actually been these Knights fighting Cannonball et al.

    I kind of like it, they've even got microphones, the asking price is a bit high but otherwise I think it's a pretty cool concept. I wish they'd had someone on a drumkit, that would have made almost any price worth my time.

    I saw Optimus and thought it was some Ultimate Warrior tribute. Close enough.

    But it's my kind of stupid, just not $400 worth of stupid.

    The only mistake they made was not using an eye-searing shade of pink on Jazz. How long is it gonna take?? Hasbro??

    I agree with all of that. This seems so stupid I always hated it as well, when they take personal favorite figures of mine and just stupid them up.

    What?!? $190 is terrible. It was on Entertainment Tonight, so I bet a bunch of people will go out a buy it, thinking it good 'value'.
