    I'm sure many kids today will be impressed with Mainframe's alt mode.

    I agree with your expanded view of agreeing with me.

    I have no issues with the Aerialbots. I love them in fact. Even happy with Darkwing and Dreadwind. Also upset I didn't get Windsweeper.

    I thought they did an amazing job of reusing the mould to get mostly unique looking bots pumped out.

    I guess I don't care how something transforms, just that it looks good in both modes, so maybe that shortens your mileage on the figures?

    Would it be better if they were all unique, sure. but apart from a different looking knee or chest plate, they are all going to need 4 limbs and turn into a jet. That said, it's funny, I was more upset with the reuse of Trigger happy for Missfire and Slugslinger... go figure. Maybe that's the G1 acceptance in me coming out for the Aerialbots in addition to thinking I'd never get a Darkwing/Dreadwind figure.

    Who wouldn't be impressed. Wait, you saying he doesn't turn into a rocket car?

    Fun fact about me: I always thought/pretended that Mainframe built and programmed Teletraan 1

    It is a fair point that the Aerialbots being samey was G1 accurate. I guess at the end of the day that doesn't really do anything for me, so it doesn't counterbalance being left with what I maintain are otherwise quite mundane figures.
    I'm really just here for the free food and open bar.
