Yeah, but no bad guys isn't as bad as no good guys. So far, I've only seen Ironhide and Bumblebee and there was only one Bumblebee left. I WANT PRIME!

I was at a Walmart yesterday that had about 20 Optimus Primes.
I cannot find Barricade (the police car) or Megatron ANYWHERE, and Rachet and Blackout are pretty scarce too. Are stores already clearing the shelves?

Question:
I haven't seen Prime at all, is it the same size as the other figures, or is it really big? Post a pic.
I now have; Masterpiece Prime (w/ Trailer), Megs and Starscream.
I also have an original Jetfire (the infamous Robotech Valkyrie repaint)
I'm hoping for a Black Arachnia from the the new cartoon, and HOPEFULLY an Arcee too.

Yes - the Prime and Megatrons are much bigger than the others. It's pretty cool because in vehicle mode they are all just about proportional (the Autobots).
I'd post a pic but my son has the guys all torn up and half transformed, and unless I spent a week on each one to get them in a recognizable form it wouldn't do much good.
Marry me so I can get half

I always like the badguys better. Except Prime. And Ultra Magnus.
I saw a picture of a prototype for a Black Arachnia for the new line somewhere. Lemmie see if I can find it.
Edit: Found it, but blurry. Along with Soundwave. Apparently his Guitar turns into Lazerbeak.

Wow, those look freakishly accurate as to how they appear in the cartoon!
Soundwave looks pretty cool, but I hope he isn't some kind of rock-star wannabe.

Recent swag....
Got this in Chicago - on Saturday just after Joe left. It's not the $200 stainless steel one or whatever, but it's close. Japanese import - notice no orange tip:
I did open it but did not apply any of the stickers.
And I picked this up on eBay a couple of weeks ago. Recent reissue - looks just like the original except the tape door is thicker to hold 2 tapes that come with it - Ravage and Laserbeak.

That, sir, was a mold alteration for the Transformers Headmasters line in Japan. He also had a black paint job and was called Soundblaster.

Best. Transformer. EVAR.Deadpool have you seen the Star wars Transformers? Some of those look cool. I think my favourite is this one
Comes with tiny normal vader , 3 tiny tie fighters and 3 tiny storm troopers.
I'm buying it first chance I get.
For my nephew, of course.

**** your nephew, get it for yourself!
* remembers who he's talking to *
Uh, just get it for yourself.
I'm not a fan of the Star Wars Transformers. The character mode on most of them is too blocky. Its a really cool idea though.

I just noticed that Vader is holding a gun in that one. Shenanigans!

I can't really understand why people think it's a cool idea. It's such an obscure idea to me, that you'd want to play with Star Wars that turn into spaceships. It reminds me of those old Batman figures from the 70s that had magnets on their hands. Such a random concept.
Also, the Darth Vader figure is the Death Star. A Space Station that has a big laser on it. Is that not a bit boring? The DS doesn't even move. Do you guys not remember that scene in Big?
"There's a million robots that turn into stuff. And...this one turns into a building?! Well, what's fun about that?"

I'm no big fan of Star Wars and Transformers. I actually HATE Star Wars and Transformers fandom hype craziness. But putting the two together for the sheer stupid absurdness of it is an idea of pure solid golden genius.
In fact, I probably wouldn't like the transforming Vader/Death Star as much if I didn't hate Star Wars.

Wow...in that case, yeah! They are pretty cool!
I don't know about TransFormers, but I've always hated the Star Wars fandom hype craziness. The Wars may be awesome, but establishing Jedi as an official religion is just sad.
I picked up the new Brawl Leader Class figure...it's huge. I'm still looking for the leader class Megatron...can't find it anywhere.
It looks like there's a new wave out too. One of them is a neon Barricade. I got them and put them away from my son's birthday.

Oh my god. That's ****ing awesome.I got my Music Label Soundwave last week. I got the classic blue version. ^_^
I almost got the Optimus Prime iPod dock.
Oh and I got my Atari & Autotrooper set from Transformers KISS ^_^
There should be a Soundwave iPod dock. That would be even more awesome.
