Hoist's hand/gun is a tad tragic! -Ralph It's far too big. I'm hoping it's far too big so it can slide down completely covering the fist. I wish Hoist's hand/gun had been done like Impactor's, instead of like.... well, like that. They got it right for Grapple at least! |

Why? He's going to have a backpack, like the classics and masterpiece toys, is all. Classics Bee/Jumper does not have a backpack! He has a cowl! And the way backpacks have gone on MP toys is bobbins too. At least he doesn't have a butt flap. |

The previous Hoist/Trailcutter were pretty dang good toys. Just not as Hoist or Trailbreaker.

The one missile launcher on Wheeljack is bugging me. Yes, they've obviously gone Cartoon again but Wheeljack's cartoon launcher has a much more protruding missile tfwiki.net/wiki/Wheeljack_(G1)/Generation_1_cartoon_continuity The Earthrise one looks much more like the toy's launcher tfwiki.net/wiki/Wheeljack_(G1)/toys Now I *COULD* buy two Wheeljacks and nick the 2nd one's launcher - you can see a slot on each shoulder in the NYCC pictures linked above - but the Earthrise launcher is asymmetric with a peg out of one side in robot mode so it can be attached to the vehicle. And two pegs pointing the same way WILL wind me up. But will it wind me up more or less than only one launcher? |

Now that we can see him in packaging Cliffjumper looks *tiny*. He'd better have some impressive engineering going on, or that rocket launcher better be made of gold or something... I've seen a comparison pic that indicates it's a similar size to Legends BB. Which is correct, but ...... Yes it's a big gun but still needs more stuff in the box |

That sounds about right. They gave him a missile launcher based on the toy, but only one like the cartoon.
That way nobody's happy!

Yes it's a big gun but still needs more stuff in the box Assuming wheeljack is similar to Sideswipe and Prowl, compairing the sizes based on packaging, he looks more akin to oldschool scouts. Which is way better. |

They are taking the piss selling that Cliffjumper at the Deluxe price-point!

If Boga's scaling is correct, Cliff is quite a bit bigger than a legend, and more akin to a scout, like I thought.
Hope this is the case.

Cliffjumper's back is a worry. I know the feeling. |

Well I'm glad I've already completed THE SIX through unofficial means that are, you know,THE SAME BASTSRD SIZE, instead of -again- having to start collecting a set from scratch.
...having said that, I wouldn't mind a Brawn who's slightly bigger than the others...

I reckon Mechanic Studio will be on that before long. I really hope so.

Finding Hoist without the blue-painted side windows a big improvement!

I dunno, if there were a bunch of cool choices in a vote and one won but then they decided to release the others anyway I'd be celebrating that more than lamenting it. More cool toys for everyone to have! I tend to view the fan votes more as a marketing gimmick than anything.

Hasbollocks don't care nothin' about invalidating stuff! Look at the Botcon Classics Seekers, Haslab Unicron... They lie... THEY LIE TO US!!!
CJ, you're too nice a guy for Hasbollocks! You look for honour and integrity where non exists. You noble bastard.
Edit: And we need to make sure Galvajim has enough toys, or he'll go on some kind of time-travelling rampage and try to destroy reality.

Nnnggggghhhh I can't decided if that Wheeljack is worth getting, i.e. is it better than the existing near-perfecr Generations 'Jack....
