    I'll add a pic of Optimus with and without the soft goods. The soft goods are really fiddly so I won't go through them all. You must remove the soft goods for transformation so they all come off.

    Thanks so much for posting that. He looks pretty good without it. For me I'd have to remove it all as I really feel it gets in the way of the figures - but that does kind of make me wonder what the point of getting the set would be. Other than the fact that I love the idea that more than just being friends before the war, Optimus and Megatron were actually in a rock band together back on Cybertron - and that the break-up of the band was what led to this aeons-spanning war.

    In the booklet detailing the history of the band, Optimus dates Arcee for a bit. :/

    Thanks for the review, I've been tempted to get this and still am.

    Is that an actual LP record?!

    I had no idea of the word kitsch, until I saw it on QI on Wednesday... which is something that is dated, so becomes tacky and/or trendy (like fluffy dice or lava lamps).
    And yes... metal hair band like this is definitely kitsch.
