    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??

    ...Who wants to split a set?

    Cheesy. I like it, I don't like the awful colours for Optimus's legs though... That'll look like a cheap KO.

    It should come with a free copy of the 1986 movie soundtrack, as most of those songs sound like "metal hair bands".

    Hasbro (and other toy companies) certainly compete for attention at SDCC with these creations. It is getting very expensive keeping up with them each year... and this is just one toy Brand. (lucky I don't collect several toylines)

    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.
