Classics 2.0/Universe are the whole reasons why I got back into collecting Transformers after almost a 20 year hiatus.

After seeing what they've done to the classic characters in terms of articulation and design, I was instantly hooked.

Admittedly the quality does suck compared to their G1 counterparts.

I still have memories of dropping Hound off a table onto concrete and all he did was bounce whereas nowadays, do the same and he'll probably shatter into a hundred pieces.

The paint jobs on some of these guys are also pretty crap too with mismatched colours and almost complete lack of paint application in certain areas, leaving the plastic translucent.

Henkei's seem to be better finished in terms of paint and manufacturing process, however even some of them fall apart while you're transforming them (Galvatron), but are at a higher price premium.

(Ducking for cover) Despite their shortcomings, I still wouldn't trade any of them for their G1 versions!

I may not be a purist in the sense of the word, but I do enjoy TFs and it's because of the classics/universe range, I have come back to the fold... and that's a good thing, I think?
