Checked out a place called "Ollie's Bargain"...something-or-other, got a pretty good haul. Energon Sharkticon, Cybertron Undermine, Lugnutz, and Brakedown, and Spy Changers Prowl and Mirage for about $30 total. Sharkticon is very cool to handle and has a SWEET alt mode, but he can be annoy...

Nice haul!

I've been very casually going after Tigerhawk for a couple years now. Never got around to it...

Activator, not Bumper Battler. Activators are much different and actually cool.

Anyway, nice customs, chris-morada!

Activators Grimlock is brilliant. I like him even better than the Voyager. The arms are more well-articulated in robot mode. The little Dino arms are no longer stationary and the jaw can be opened and stay put, rather than be activated by a button. He's a little tricky to balance, but it just takes ...

Bought Animated Activators Grimlock. Better than the full-sized version!

I've been putting off mentioning that I bought my first ever Spy Changers at a dollar store the other day. Jazz and Camshaft, both neat.

My dad bought Hoist, because he's on this thing now where he wants to buy every single pick-up truck Transformer ever. He currently has TWO.

Isn't that the only point of 90% of all anime anyway? Evangelion is in the other 10%, swear to God :p I love Evangelion but I would never buy these. Human character toys aren't really my thing anyways, but the realistic (looks nothing like the anime) sculpting on these, combined with the intentiona...

Got Sideswipe. Definitely like him better than Sunstreaker, but there are a few things wrong. The head doesn't really come up far enough...unlike on Sunstreaker, I can't fix it by just pulling on it. The white part at the top of the chest blocks his chin/mouth a little when looking at him from the f...

After a couple weeks of seeing Galvatron and Acid Storm, I finally spotted a single Sideswipe at Target.

Going for Animated Ultra Magnus next!

It's the government. They're trying to stop you from completing a review of a figure that's already been covered.

EDIT: I should say something at least somewhat useful while I'm here. Attachments haven't been working for me either!

Finally found Titaniums Prowl and Grimlock, bought them both immediately. Prowl totally rocks. Much better than the only two Titaniums I owned before this (full-of-metal-but-loose-as-hell Prime, and boring Megatron from the two-pack). The proportions are a little weird but I don't care, he's fun! On...

I've heard about the poor articulation of that mold...but it sure does look nice! The original Takara Galaxy Force Starscream much more so, but I'm not paying the ridiculous online prices for it. Have you had experience with the mold used for Roadbuster? There are reviews on here for it, but second ...

Nice review, very insightful! I think I might actually buy this set, depends on what I think of it when I see it in-person. Dirge & Roadbuster is a bit more likely, because I don't have either of those molds in any form. One thing, though; you were right about those other exclusives, but the &qu...

Warpath and Rodimus, I will buy for sure. Wheelie is a maybe, and I'm probably avoiding Cosmos (but I've known that for quite a while now).

Yeah, looks fairly cool, but too high-priced for me.

Big fans of Roadbuster, the show the design is from, and/or rich people who are used to CM's Corp's ridiculous prices will probably dig it though!

Pretty good review, I like Jazz too.

Unless you simply plan to showcase it with photos, do you think maybe you could describe the awesome (for a Legends figure) articulation a bit more?
