Ok so at around £10-15 each:
I really like Dino Grimlock a lot. Big chunky fun.
G1 Megs has a certain charm. Flawed but fun for that price.
Bombshell is ok but he can't wear his AM chum as a hat. But, again, for the price I paid I still like it.
Tracks is utter shit.
Bludgeon is poor.
Hmmm. A mixed bag. I can see why the line quickly died at RRP.
QC is not great.
Bludgeon is a floppy mess. Really badly made. This was originally £50-60??? Big fingerprint on the arm from when the paint would have been fresh!
Not sure I would bother with any more unless I saw them just as cheap.

Of the three I have, Bludgeon is indeed the worst.
But it's still a better stand in than that god awful legacy tarn repaint.
Banzai-Tron is middle ground.
G2 Megatron though is pretty good, and is sadly the best G2 Megatron since the original.

I have heard that G2 Megs is a good one. Banzaitron is a maybe due to my Action Master love.
If I see them at the right price but not at RRP.

Oh I had forgotten I got Alligaticon (which started me off on this before red hazing on what was still in stock in the sale). I like it. Ludicrous toy. Great fun for £13. Points off for the Battle Taxi accessory not having rolling wheels. The Optimus tower gun is currently threatening some Blokees. tfwiki.net/wiki/Alligaticon#ULTIMATES.21It's the kind of daft thing that appeals to me. -Ralph |

I am still surprised they didn't do Aliigatron from Skullcruncher. There again I'm surprised we didn't get Crocodile Megatron from Skullcruncher

Patience meant a G2 Megs (way below RRP) was procured. I have buyers regret. QC is the usual nonsense and it's just not fun to play about with.
That's me done with Super 7.
The Threezero G2 Megs is much better.
Aliigatron in the line is really fun. Otherwise, if you want robot mode action figures, Blokees and Threezero are better quality.

Andu tried to warn me.
It looks ok sitting on a shelf but as a toy to play with...shite.
If you just want a display piece it's fine.

That's really all I wanted, because god knows Hasbro isn't gonna give us a real G2 Megatron.

Fair to say I am over my Super 7 phase. I can see myself keeping Alligatortron and moving the rest on. -Ralph |
