  1. Yes they are worth it. They have a significant jump in detail, features, and in my opinion, playability. Very sturdy toys and robot modes look great, better than the deluxes in my opinion. The only thing that the deluxe Sideswipe has over the HA version is being able to integrate the back kibble much better. Also better range of motion for the legs. Other than that, the HA version is more detailed and just has more going on with it.

    Thanks for the feedback Shin. I'm leaning towards getting HA Bumblebee, but hesitating with HA Sideswipe. But I know that the compulsive collector in me will want to "catch 'em all", if I start buying the TF HA ROTF toyline. :ph34r: And they do seem to look awesome alongside the TF Alternators.

  2. Saw it this afternoon - went in with low expectations. It was OK. Not great, but not as bad as I thought it would be. I too, was also annoyed that the script changed character origins and relationships (from the classic Larry Hama comic) - to support the movie plot. Baroness and Scarlett were looking good. ^_^ Decent effects and action sequences, but the plot was paper-thin. Predictable ending leaving the door wide open for the sequel ...

  3. Combining with Prime has compromised many a good figure. RiD Ultra Magnus is still one of the all-time best TFs IMHO. Even being hampered as he is. Just imagine how awesome he could have been alone.

    RiD Ultra Magnus, really? A great figure yeah, but "one of the all-time best"??? I dunno dude, he has very crappy leg articulation (or lack thereof) IMO. Not trying to stir it, just asking is all ...

    :ph34r:

  4. It doesn't attach anywhere---fiddle around with the straps to trap them between the plane and the legs, and it should be held in place through tension. The straps should pass just inboard of the peg hole that the foot/ankle goes into. Yes, it's godawful design, and I plan to remove the pins to remove the entire assembly (I will never combine mine with Prime).

    If you really can't get it, I'll photograph mine.

    Thanks for clarifying David ... I just wanted to check that I wasn't doing/missing something obvious. These pieces and the excessive bottom kibble in jet mode really disappoint the toy for me.

    :ph34r:

    I've managed to find most of the Scouts and and Deluxes, save for Jolt ... For Voyagers ... Haven't seen Longhaul, either.

    FYI, I don't think Jolt nor Long Haul have been released yet. Otherwise there would be some sighting activity on the TF forums.

  5. Opened up and played around with Leader Jetfire tonight ... man, is he a PITA to transform!! Those locking panels were a beeyotch!!

    And in step #15, what the hell do you do with the 2 rubber strand things that hang off his hips? I tried to interlocked the 2 together, but couldn't get the assembled piece to attach.

    :huh: :huh: :huh:
