How is Safeguard Kibbletastic? The Individual bot modes are snappy, and well coloured. The are poseable and have great colouring.

Animated Black Arachnia, SWTF General Grievous/Starfighter Soulless One, and Premium Ironhide.

Grievous does have a lot of kibble on the back, but at least he can be posed. I think he might be the second best of the SWTF's, with Commander Cody being the best.

I just got:
Ironhide (Classic 2.0)
Galvatron (Classic 2.0)

I am actually dissapointed in Ironhide, as the arms are not as articulated as I thought, and he just screams "breakable"

My G1 Topspin and Twintwist came in from BBTS along with my RiD Megatron(Gigatron)

Got the jumpstarters in an effort to complete my Wreckers.

And I Got Gigatron cause I've never had a six changer before.
Learned he could be considered to have 10 modes but I only like the Griffin mode.

Got a pretty nice haul today,

Movie Big Daddy (head looks like they had Wheeljack in mind...)
Transformers Official Movie Sequel: The Reign of Starscream (not a toy, but still new for me)

And what really shocked me and was totally not expecting, my Wal-Mart for the first time in it's History had Universe Ultra and Legends class figures!
(and I just asked the store manager last week about Ultras and he said prob. not...)

I got Universe Ultra Onslaught
Legends Brawn and Beachcomber

Saw Stormcloud and Legends Bumblebee as well, still no Hound, Starscream, or Cheetor.

That's because he's a straight redeco of Cybertron Downshift. And what was his name in Japan/who was he homaging (since Armada)?

Wheeljack.

BAH-ZING! Last night I was at Target, and managed to pick up the Universe Aerial Rivals 5-Pack for $11 on clearance. Bonus!

Well my Wal-Mart did their seasonal rearranging cluster**** of the toy aisles. I managed to FINALLY find Universe Onslaught... on clearance...

I'm not going to argue with the $20 price tag and this thing is worth it. Check your Wal-Marts if you couldn't find them previously.

Also, Batman Brave and the Bold toys are finally out! Blue Beetle ****ing rocks... AND they can stand.

Just recently picked up Universe Acid Storm, and I've had for some time (and really like) Big Daddy. The only "classics" I've bought are Hot Rod and Acid Storm. I'm considering Onslaught, Silverbolt, Cyclonus, and Hound, and maybe Ironhide. Are they (or others) worth it?

Most on the list are cool, but I bet you wont like ironhide.

I would recommend Cyclonus, Hound, and Onslaught. Ironhide is marginal, and I don't have Silverbolt, but I understand he's not quite worth the price tag. Cyclonus and Hound are great for the money, and Onslaught is arguably the best of the Ultras (Universe) so far.

What happened to the Jetfire I sold you?

As for that list, Onslaught and Silverbolt both hit their marks really well, but they're also quite a bit larger and more expensive than the other figures, so that could very well be a detriment depending on your view. Hound is really solid and fun, and Cyclonus is near perfect. Ironhide is complete junk; avoid.

The Sunstreaker/Sideswipe mold is also incredibly nifty: the only negative is that the roof is clear plastic painted yellow or red, meaning the color doesn't quite match up with the doors and hood. This could be either utterly inconsequential or completely ruinous to the figure depending on your point of view.

Forgot about him, and he's atop one of the two towers on my media center. What a sweet figure...

Got Universe Hound w/Ravage and Cyclonus w/Nightstick this afternoon.

First decent paycheck vs. bills since pre-Christmas shopping = went for Hound just for the hell of it. And I'm glad I did. As usual, pics don't do the toy justice. The thing that threw me off him most are the white seats, for whatever reason. Didn't study the pics too much, didn't realise the seats were his thighs in bot mode. Also, I was feeling a bit Hounded out, what with the decent Legends fig. His weapon is really the only thing that sucks, to me, and it's real easy to get a nice pose out of him!

Ravage- interesting alternative to the original's transformation scheme. But I can't shake the feeling that the head was intended for Laserbeak/Buzzsaw. Not as articulated as you'd expect, no side rockets, but still a decent pack-in.

Nightstick- Nice update of the Nebulan figs. (And he's got elbow joints. I've a few Headmasters but this is my first Targetmaster, so not sure if bendy elbows are 'new' to them...)

Cyclonus- the clear winner here!

This toy is just...so cool... Everything fits like a glove, both in engineering and aesthetic. Plus, it doesn't hurt that he looks just like Cyclonus should- on a good day!

Good haul, indeed.

I would be interested in Starscream, but I'm satisfied enough with the Classics scheme.

Cheetor, the show was great and all but I'm personally not too big on animal alt modes. I remember reading good reactions on that mold though.

Swindle: grrrrrr.

This is my one "must have!" right now and I've not seen it anywhere yet! Hopefully soon, real soon...

Onslaught! I absolutely love that one! Brawn is one I'll probably end up with and Beachcomber is one definitely on the list.

I got Onslaught for around $20 too. Would've easily paid full price!
