    Inferno w/out the wings on his head and a ladder do very little for me. I don't mind Cyclonus but he could've been better. Hound's the pick for me which is disappointing cos I want a good Decepticon in this line!

    And the Predacon Dog really is a joke. I mean, it's nice but there were better options in the form of Hungrr or Sinnertwin. I would've taken either not some pointless BW toy.

    But hungrr and sinnertwin are 2 headed creatures...predacon dog...is 3 headed...and it's not BW but RID Bruticus (Predacon Dog)

    I've just got that figure and loving it...but transformation is abit weird

    But given that they've given Hungrr and legends mode on the mold, its just lazy to give it to some random nothing that no one cares about. Good toy or not, there are some toys who ppl just don't give a crap about. I love me Gasskunk/Nightglider but I sure as hell would not want to have them homaged when a G1 choice is better.

    And it seems you've broken into BWs w/ the Optimal toy.

    I should mention too that Swindle annoys me, he's nowhere near as cool as his cartoon self. The others look decent though.

    The RiD Bruticus toy was originally intended for Beast Machines, and even appears to have some sort of mechanism missing/gutted from the final production line figure, suggesting a last minute cost cutting measure to make the one-off figure more profitable in its rather limited release in RiD packaging. The Megahead Megatron and Air Attack Optimus were similar figures, that didn't see production before BM was axed, but was far enough in the 18 month production process to force its release in some way, reguardless of the current series or packaging. I'm guessing the Titanium WW Prowl and Grimlock are a similar story, with a (limited) store exclusive release being financially better than cutting their losses on toy designs that were right near the end of the design and production process. Even if they made a loss on those two figures, they may have lost more by not using the moulds that were created before the line was axed (probably the most expensive step in the creation process).
