Can't get away from the names Jetstorm and Buzzsaw, can they? Though
wouldn't it be cool if Buzzsaw was an actual Buzzsaw? Heh, Grindor.

Woah, Cyclonus is a helicoptor? That's weird. BTW, is it just me or
does that toy look really crappy? I hope to god it's mistransformed
in some way. I also hope that they are all poseable but the magazine
decided to put them in G1 stances in honor of their ancestors or
something. Dear god I hope they aren't too bricky!

Hey, what the hell is this? Megas are $20 now? These better be ultra
megas or something, because I really want that Starscream and he'd
better be worth it, damnit hehe.

They jacked up the ultra price point too. I want Megs as well. Him,
Starscream and Optimus look the best, though I like the combined
Optimus better then the non-combined one. That's just me tho.
Megatron reminds me a lot of G2 Megatron, which I kinda wish I hadn't
sold a while back. He was the only remaining G2 in tact TF I had.
Dang.

Wow, traps and grabbers, that sounds frickin cool. I want it NOW
damnit!

Super got jacked up ten bucks instead of $5, though that means he will
probably be huge, considering this is the old supreme price point.
The description sounds pretty sweet too, I'm hoping that auto
transforming action is as cool as it sounds.

Lazorbeak! He lives! He sounds like the Soundwave or Blaster of
Armada, in that he turns into something you can buy at Radio Shack
(the camera, not the stun weapon, heh). I think I'm gonna run around
stun gunning people and then video taping them crawling on the ground
and suffering and stuff. Of course he'll be in spy bird mode, so no
one will know it's me. Hasbro thought of everything!
All in all it sounds pretty promising, though some of them look a
little too blocky for my tastes and some of the minicons have very
little appeal to me as well. I am definetly picking up Starscream
though. That looks badass, and I miss ol' Starscream, even if they
aren't the same guy.
- Cyb, who also must have Megatron and Optimus, though he thinks
Armada is gonna set him back quite a bit...hmm I should see how much
each series has set me back so far...that could be fun!

Its probably only because of all the electronic in him.
