Tell you what, I saw the Studio Series Jazz at TFN and he is adorably tiny. If he appears in an actual shop I might red haze.

Not to fussed about the 'Bee, because that was a ridiculous idea anyway. But that Sideswipe looks gorgeous.

I kind of like the Bee for the novelty, but yeah, Sideswipe looking magnificent there.
Despite never having seen ROTF I've owned three Sideswipe toys and still own one after many collection purges, it's a lovely design.

Is that not the mould that falls apart?

No idea. The wiki entry refers to some QC issues which were corrected on later runs

I haven't seen a single review which hasn't mentioned that it falls to bits. A shame.

I hate that I'm getting nostalgia for the movie designs and that there's two of this series I'd buy if I saw them.

Ah, that answers one of the things I wondered about (the rotary guns are "hand-guns" rather than handguns...). I see where you are coming from with the PCC Searchlight thing Phil. I don't really get the same vibe, but from dead-ahead there is a certain similarity. My brain feels more like they are out of alignment - they feel like they should continue the line up through the rotors and look like swords sheathed over its back. The fact that they don't makes my brain go "something is wrong with this picture". Karl |

I was going to ask why a set of comparison images was needed given they're two totally different robots, but then I remembered about the cassettes... The one thing it does show though is how good VW Bee is. Now to wait impatiently for mine...

Well. I mean. It is a very fetching shade of red. I guess. Although maybe missing the point of being an anti-Optimus Prime...

It reminds me that I really would like to get a version of that mould some day.

I don't understand what Red Knight is. A new character?

At the end of Age of Extinction, there were a bunch of new decepticon drones created by KSI.
Presumably this is one of them.
