Got Skywarp, Sideswipe, and Tricranius today.
Tricranius is gorgeous, but has almost every problem associated with translucent plastic- loose joints/hinges (everything around the beast hip piece), ill-fitting parts (frill, 5mm ports), soft rubbery plastic that paint doesn't adhear too and thus becomes tacky (horns and tail). He sure is pretty though.
Skywarp is about as nice as you'd expect. What irritates me is they did the bare minimum, when it wouldn't have taken much to knock him out of the park. Swords and a new bald eagle based beast head that turning upside down so the underside forms a more accurate chest. That's all. Loose wings are kinda floppy. I don't know if this is to address people complaining about Airazor's wings being too stiff, or if it's a QC/mold degradation issue. He's a nice redeco who's not as good as it could have been, but better than others.
Sideswipe is a bit of a surprise. He is very much an improvement over the original, and torques me off because this is what he should have been from the start. All the parts fit better in alt mode. No terrible weathering deco. Both gun and shoulder launcher.
Sideswipe might actually steal the show, as I was not looking forward to him at all, and considered him forced on me.

Oh! Slammer looks fab. Warpath's got barrel envy.

Why does Slammer have a giant white wang?

He doesn't, that's his waist.
.... but yes the colouring does make it stand out somewhat!

Slammer looks kinda cute. I like it, but I don't think I like it enough to pick it up.

On reflection, I think if I had those colour versions I'd be more excited by these chaps. The original ones are hard to love.

They're hard to love 'cos they suck sack.
Slammer though- what a swanky dude he is!
I have a soft spot for Slammer because I snuck mine to school one day to prove to my friend that I had just gotten Metroplex.
Little grey towertank. They've done 'im proud.

If I were in your class I'd have insisted you sneak ALL of Metroplex in just to prove it. A friend of mine recently didn't believe I still owned my original Megatron toy, so I snuck that into his place of work to prove it to him. He works for Barclays bank. That showed him!

My pain isn't so secret - but then it's hard to keep it secret when it's two-foot long and has the crispest golden crust...

Have a look at my post tagging Pinwig in the thread rather than Recent Posts view.
That he's sworn at me should be a big clue
