Opened up Hound. What a figure! Nice proportions and really posable. Proper ankle rockers on Deluxes is the way forward. U2 Hound is so much better, IMO, but Siege is an excellent substitute for those who didn't have the first one (unlike CW Hound) I actually want a tan Swindle and orange Rollbar repaint as homages to the two Alternators.

The whole line is really shaping up to be something special. There's something about this line that speaks to me. And I'm not sure what it is.

I get that. I'm not feeling it myself, but I very much did for Titans Return, hence why I'm still more interested in getting as many of those as I can.
It's good that folks are feeling that connection. I'm glad Siege is hitting home for folks!

Hound is now surrounded by Micromasters and is taking on Megatron. This is a GOOD toy line.
Just a pity it's a bit small to go with all the other GOOD toy lines. Universe Bluestreak looks VERY SILLY stood next to him.

And I think I finally pegged why Laserbeak has been rubbing me wrong, all this time. In all the laserbeaks we've gotten, this is the first one that's been a go at a straight forward update. But instead of going with the proper look that he's known for for 35 years, they chose to base it on a five second clip from the very beginning of a 35 year old cartoon. Don't forget The War Within! I mean, you may want to. But DON'T. (You can if you want.)

Hasbro did, or else we'd have a decent Starscream in this line.

Look real nice, don't they! Only getting Reflector from this wave, but, yeah, they all look as sweet as pie.

Just one I think.
Edit: I think I'd like three, but that may be an extravagance.

Well, I'm hopeful one can make a stumpy camera with no lens out of one Reflector (and maybe someone like Shapeways will engineer a lens...?).
I'm enjoying Space-brick modes to be honest.

You can't make a camera with one! -Ralph You can make a stumpy block which might look a little like a camera, the main camera Reflector is three of the blocks side by side, with the middle block the other way round to the outer two

I see a Refractor is coming out. Not sure what this Reflector business is. Look at the Box. The Box decides!
