    I prefer ROTF Starscream to his predecessor in both jet and robot mode, the new one is just so much more sleek and mean looking. I guess in the case of the movie toys acuracy is a big draw for me because I realy despise the TF1movie SS's head sculpt.

    ROTF Starscream is probably one of my most favourte Voyagers in the whole movie series 1 and 2.

    Yep he pleases me, he is also among my favourtes, though I did need to give him a black wash to bring out the sculpts detail.

    My main gripe with Sideways are his tiny tiny feet which make him a mongrel to stand. Otherwise I'm satisfied with the toy. Far less satisfied with his on-screen appearance!!

    But you can cheat and use his wheels to support his feet, I have a harder time trying to stand Sideswipe.

    Does anyone have the new Barricade yet? And if so what do you think? I am tempted to get it but the removal of Frenzy and replacement of the probe arms don't make it seem worth it. I presume it's otherwise exactly the same toy. Is Frenzy perhaps still in there but locked in place like the Screen Battles version?

    My brief thoughts on Barricade's wave partners:
    Ravage is cool in beast mode, but the re-entry mode is a complete joke.
    Mudflap is too hunchbacked, but the transformation is complex and he looks good with Skids.
    Cannon Bumblebee I like. Not complex but has some nice changes and those cannons hide away easily enough. I am pretty sure I wont get the Preview version now.

    According to Tformers, the new Barricade is exactly the same as the old one save for the probe arms and the absence of Frenzy in any form.

    Thanks, there's my answer: not worth getting it.

    The Fallen's transformation is terrible! There isn't much transformation!

    In the "vehicle" mode, it looks very similar to megatron from TF1.

    The robot mode is kinda cool though.

    But overall very disappointed.

    I hope Jetfire does not disappoint as thats probably the only other one I'll get and maybe human alliance bumblebee.

    I would just like to admit that I have bought 4 ROTF toys so far (Sideswipe, Rampage, Skids and Mudflap) and I've had trouble transforming them all. Are Skids and Mudflap supposed to have big backpacks?
    HATRED FOR JAMES VAN DER BEEK RISING!

    I really want those probes but I can't see myself paying full price for it...on the other hand I was thinking of using Barricade as a custom so I can make a stunticon set but I don't know if barracides vehcaial will be suitable.

    Also I just wanted to express my love of Ransack and belive that he should be givivng the staring role in the next movie..any movie acctuly dosn't have to be transformers. Harry Potter and the Decepticon Bi-plane sounds like a winner to me.

    Thoughts...

    Skids: Better than I expected. I prefer this toy a lot more than Mudflap, which I was disappointed with.

    Wheelie: Simple but nice toy. I like the addition of struts on the feet which can be retracted for greater movie accuracy or deployed for balance support.

    Chromia: Nice bike mode but rather odd robot mode - much like Demolishor she stands on one wheel and unlike Wheelie (or BM Thrust and Motorcycle Drone) the supporting wheel doesn't transform to help her stand. The toy does come with a clip-on stand though, which I'm grateful for... but I would've preferred some kind of wheel transformation. Not recommended unless you're a movie completist.
