Transformers

Sweet!  Thanks for the pic

It was definitely a Transformers weekend out there.  I was out and about looking for VTSC, and it was kind of neat seeing all the Transformers stuff.  I think it was selling pretty well actually too, I saw a lot of people checking it out anyways - even more so than the Spidey 3 weekend I think.  I have to admit, I'm half tempted to pick one or two things up.  Having just the Prime would be kind of neat, but that might be too much for me to spend on another "other" line .  Maybe Bumblebee would be a better choice.  The Robot Heroes packs were awfully tempting as well.

The Robot Heroes packs were awfully tempting as well.

Those were the toys I was most looking foward to picking up on Saturday - besides Prime.  I think I even heard that Jeff was going to be collecting the lil guys as well.

I LOVE the new Robot Heroes line! So far i've picked up Prime/Ravage and Megs/Magnus with intentions on getting the rest. My heart will always be with G1 so these are right up my alley and the price doesn't hurt the wallet too much. I also picked up my long-desired Optimash Prime. This is easily the BEST potato head they've put out yet. Keeping it G1 and including the Cab are HUGE pluses. Could a Megatron be next?

I haven't read this thread for at least a month, so I didn't even know they were coming out until I saw them at WM today.  I was so tempted to grab them, they'd look great with my SW Galactic Heroes.

I picked up two packs today for my son...

Hoping they will be around for me to get him all... But having him collect the GH, Marvel Heroes, Spidey Heroes, these... It's alot...

I stopped to check for some TAC Wave 3 figures today (no luck), and took a look at the Robot Heroes packs.  I couldn't resist, and picked up the Optimus/Ravage pack.  The look of them really reminds me of the cartoon I grew up watching, even in the "Galactic Heroish" style.  I probably should have skipped it, because now I'd like to pick up some more.  Is there a list of what two packs are out now?  I see the ones listed on Hasbro's site are the following:

Optimus Prime/Ravage
Grimlock/Shockwave
Mirage/Starscream
Rodimus/Insecticon
Ultra Magnus/Megatron
Bumblebee/Soundwave

Decepticon Sneak Attack Pack

I didn't know if any further packs were rumored, if these were all technically out now, or what.  They are pretty neat.

Well I know that Optimus/Unicron & Thundercracker/Jazz are coming according to AP, but I've not seen anything else about this line.  I sure hope it continues though as mm mmm mmm I'm lovin it!!  I think it be great to get some of the combiners ala the Marvel Galactucus cinema scene.

Decepticon Sneak Attack Pack

3 Walmarts checked and still no signs of this set. I know theor website has it but I don't want to pay the shipping if I don't have to..

[DarkKnight2k4]

Ditto here. I can't find it....

I just picked up the Target exclusive Robo-Vision Prime. This Automorph Technology will be the death of me. But otherwise, it's OK. Probably not as awesome as the Leader version, but it's OK for $20. I don't think it's possible for a TF to have any more kibble on the back than our boy Prime here.

Still looking for Bonecrusher.

[iFett]

Ya, I'm waiting for the RV Prime to hit clearance as I have the leader class.  Superior vs. Inferior...ya you get it.   

Oh, and I finally spotted Megs for the first time today 

I like him.....ALOT!!

it's just to bad that I didn't have enough cash to pick him up, but I finally got my USPS stamp set out of the way before I forgot to snag one.

[Ben]

Scored a Bonecrusher late last night. Why, oh why is he not a Voyager class toy?

The Leader Primes went pretty quick around here. But I probably won't get that one until after I see the movie.

And if you guys are looking for Robot Heroes, try out-of-the-way WMs. I found several complete sets there, but no exclusives.

[Greedo The Green Menace]

Well, after passing by these many times in the isles, i finally broke down and picked up a Barricade, and he is tres awesome. I think i may have to pick up a few more now. This doesn't bode well for my wallet....

Yeah, no kidding, Ben.  It seems like, design-wise, he is one of the more interesting Decepticons in robot mode, but the toy's size just doesn't take advantage of that all that well.  I'd like to see them eventually do a Voyager class version of him, as the deluxe class version, while neat, just seems disappointing after seeing the "freeway" clips of him and Prime fighting.

I picked up Swindle earlier in the week on lunch break and, as I feared, he's pretty pointless.  He's featured in the prequel comic book/TPB (along with that Dreadwing guy and Arcee), but it still doesn't keep the toy from sucking.   

On a happier note, I gave in and picked up four of the Robot Heroes two packs.  These guys are really cute and cool, and I'm probably going to end up getting the rest of them now.  I assume there will be Movie Version RHs at some point in the future?
