Yeah I reckon the metallic paint looks pretty stunning on those two. Takara Ratchet is another one that really pops with the shinier paint! They might not be as cartoon accurate as the Hasbro ones but they're very pretty none the less.

  • Blackarachnia
  • Soundwave
  • Oilslick
  • Lockdown
  • Blitzwing
  • Skywarp
  • Shockwave


...And I'd have to say that my favourite would have to be Blitzwing, just because I love the character's treatment in TF:A and his figure is just awesome for a modern yet stylised Triple-Changer; Lockdown would have to come in second, followed closely by Soundwave.
Nice choices indeed! I like how Blitzwing's tank mode looks like something outta Metal Slug, and like you say he's just a great triple-changer with loads of play value for the small fries. He and Lugnut are quite the team.

I'll keep the Animated theme going with today's purchase - I think I got quite lucky with this one as I found it in the first game shop I checked, and they only had about 20-30 DS games in total. Aaand here it is folks:



Hope it's good!
