Sideswipe's fab, nice and simple. TFing the arms threw me for few moments, I couldn't quite work out where they went, as did the feet because Excessive Force was required first time out.
Hound has the TR Kup leg TF. His arms also flumoxed me for a min or two.
Both the Voyagers are annoying me.

I found the battlemasters by going well outside my typical search area.
I like them much better than any original or updated targetmaster to date.
They make better looking guns than any previous ones, they don't feel so awkward and overly bulky when equipped to transformer, either.
I'm not fond of the fire effect pieces at all, though.

I'm going to be very upset if we don't get a battlemaster Fracas.

Prime's robot is great, save the the unnecessary useless axe and the backpack, made up of vehicle kibble panels. The truck mode gets on my tits with so much unnecessary gumph all over it, notably the cab roof. Give me a decent Prime whose chest is the same as the front of the truck, a gripe I've had right with way back to the 1988 Powermaster.
Points for 5mm posts in the smokestacks so he can wear PM Prime guns on his shoulders.
Megatron's second weapon annoys me, it's neither sword nor gun. The sword mode has a big gun stuck in the middle of it. In theory a sword is a more appropriate Megatron weapon, from the Japanese G1 version, but it's never sat well me and this sword just looks odd. Although not so much a Megatron weapon, the gun *IS* really nice, but is spoilt by the sword bits hanging off it. The best version I've found, without disassebly, is to turn each blade half on it's mushroom peg so there's two blades parallel to barrel pointing forward.
The unsupported neck panel is unforgiveable. His backpack annoyed me too, are backpacks in this year?
TF wasn't that fun, though the legs were clever.

Do you think Starscream's legs get cold dangling beneath him like that in jet mode?

Megatron's unsecured head plate is astonishingly bad. Backpacks are the rage, apparently. But I find Prime's the most obtrusive. Megatron's could do with some missiles though. I dislike Prime's forearm kibble too. How do you feel about the size of them, particularly in relation to existing CHUG? What are the deluxes like for size? |

Deluxes seem fine, put Sideswipe next to Nightbeat and they were a similar size. Will try Voyagers later

For me, Sideswipe's small size was a shock in hand. He can't be much bigger than Reveal the Shield Windcharger.
Prime's backpack seems to be a necessary function to fold the vehicle grille into. I'm guessing the grille itself could be folded without it but perhaps it would then be quite fragile. The designers then made the decision to do something with that panel rather than leave it flat and feature-less.
Megatron's leg transformation seems new. They really have pioneered leg transformation over the past few years.
Great toys these.

It's really annoying seeing the Micromasters and Targetmasters in stock on Kapow, when despite pre-ordering on the day of listing IDToys are waiting for UK stock to fulfill my order......
