I opened Greasepit tonight and have just put him together with Ironworks in building mode. It's nice and all, but I'm not really convinced by it in the way the originals excited me. These new ones are so small the Micromasters can't drive around the roads very well - Greasepit can't actually fit a car in the garage without it hanging off the edge. I like the fact there are more connectors than the originals - loads of ways to fit them together - but it's hard to escape whichever way you do it that it's a black and blue version of the same toy stuck together.

I love a Micromaster base. Really do. The Hub has taught me that. But these just seem inferior to the originals.

I'd wager even Phil would say the originals are better.

But for an accurate comparison you must recreate this photo with the original versions of these toys.

"I seem to have fallen off the edge!" cried Stakeout. "Hold on, I'm coming," said Red Heat as he ran into the side of the garage.

I hadn't realised that new Greasepit's Z-1 sign is very lovingly recreated from the original. Might even be from the same source image.

I have no Micromaster Bases AT ALL. So The Lawnmower's gonna now my ass into oblivion!
Or, if I keep very quiet he may not notice me and just focus on killing Pinwig.
Pinwig, old chum, if you could send me Siege Skywarp before Phil The Lawnmower kills you I'd be grateful.

I hated this design at first but the more I see it the more I'm sold on it. The new head definitely helps: Silly Hasbro promotional team (tsk).
