I have been fiddling with Arcee. I really want to like it. The shade of pink is very nice and the head sculpt is good but it's just not a great toy. The car mode is not great in hand and transforming is not fun. The robot mode backpack is worse in-hand: it's just huge. Taking the detachable bit off does help but it doesn't look like a flying anything other than a random back half of a car. Madly, the two hard points for Arcee to attach on with her feet are not side by side so she has to do a weird pose to attach. Beware the sticky-uppy spoiler thing on the top of the vehicle mode. It pings off easily during transformation and as it is see-through and small can easily be lost. Disappointing.  -Ralph |

Bummer. Although unfortunately not unexpected. I’ll have to get one anyway, because it’s Arcee, but at least I am forewarned...

Can any of us 'get' Prowl? Prowl sits at the centre of a spiderweb of information, all-knowing and yet cut-off from everyone. Amusingly, TFW2005 has mis-labelled Allicon as Allison in their UK release announcement. This is now its official name. |

There are 5mm pegs sticking up from Airwave's shoulders. If you fold his head down another toy could stand on him using the 5mm hole in their feet.
I wonder how man Airwaves I can stack up standing on each other?

You laughed at Phil for buying multiple Airwaves.
LAUGHED!
Well wait till you see what you can do with them.....
Unfortunately you will have to wait cos I don't have enough here yet.
Toy of the Year? quite possibly. Scorponok is FAB and I LOVE him to bits but the playability in this toy is amazing. Thank You Lord for Airwave and his 5mm pegs

They look like they would all move as a group, going "huphuphuphup!" with every step. |

We will expand the Airwave tower at a later date.
Weaponised Airwave with Airwave tonight and it looks fab! :-)

No! Where?
I just had a quick look but got distracted by noticing that Bluestreak transforms in 15 steps but Smokescreen 16. There is an additional step at number 7 for Smokescreen that I honestly don't understand.

Interesting! Smokescreen has it but Bluestreak doesn't.

I must return to that project. There's still a long way to go. I got distracted. It happens very easily.
