Oh, Buddy, he's sweet looking. Sure, we've seen the pictures online, but in person.... wow. He's all huge and awesome. I'm a little afraid of him. Dying to see 'bot mode. I may be able to get one this weekend. I actually found one last night at a nearby Target, and took that sucka home with me! ;D His robot mode is great! His sword has a nifty flame gimmick that made me chuckle, plus the chomping action is a nice touch. He looks good, and his transformation is almost identical to the original Grimlock's. ...and the large purple plane (can't remember his name). That's Lugnut. He's actually one of my favorite figures so far. He has a nice automorph-style feature that reveals his head in a pretty dramatic way. Now I want a Blitzwing to keep him company. I can't get enough! ;D

I got a Bulkhead figure on sale at target and he is way cool. I wish this one came with the headmaster but outside of that I really like him. He shoots out his wrecking ball and his one arm has a kung fu attack! For some reason he doesn't have the light up eyes like Prime and Bumblebee. Hmmmm? Anyway I recommend him

I really want the Headmaster too, but I guess we'll just have to wait for the Leader class Bulkhead. I'm not sure exactly how the Headmaster figure is designed, but apparently it's compatible with figures other than Bulkhead!

Im not shore I'm willing to pay the money for Leader class Bulkhead but the Leader class Megatron earth mode is another story. He is way cool and mean looking. And the Ultra Magnus! Whew is he tough or what?! The need to make a Prime with the back end of the fire truck sometime seen in the cartoon. Maybe with roller inside "super old-school"

Yeah, it's gonna be hard to beat the coolness of the big Megatron! The need to make a Prime with the back end of the fire truck sometime seen in the cartoon. There's supposed to be a Leader class Optimus coming out (eventually), but I don't think it will have the trailer... Speaking of, did anyone see the Transformers Animated DVD yet? It has 2 Animated Shorts on there that are pretty funny. The better of the two has Optimus Prime being quizzed by some elementary school kids about things like... where his trailer goes when he transforms! Too funny! ;D For anyone that doesn't own the DVD, you can find it here: youtube.com/watch?v=STZYKYGKra8Enjoy!

Got me a Prowl. Holy cow. I really like this figure. One of my fav TFs of all time, easily. Had to take some piccys. Yes, I know I am a nerd. Oh, I saw the Leader Class Bulkhead the other day. He's friggin' awesome. Buy one.

They're OK. I do like the Bumblebee figure, he's kinda-sorta like G1 Bumblebee transformation-wise.

Yesterday I managed to finally find Deluxe Ratchet AND Blackarachnia! Those two are great! I now have all of the original Autobots, and I only need Blitzwing to finish my collection of the original Decepticons! I guess the next step would be all of the additional characters... Ultra Magnus, Sentinel Prime, Jazz, Swoop, Soundwave.... and the list goes on! Have you guys got any of the ones from McDonalds? Are they any fun? Actually, my soon-to-be father in law, after making multiple trips to McD's, got me almost a full set of them! What a cool, guy!

My daughter got Starscream yesterday. He's neat in robot form, but ship mode lacks. They are neat though. For kids they are easily transformed.

I didn't get him, but I saw Oil Slick for the first time today. Holy comunga, y'all. He's awesomeness in a jar. He's a freaking scary motorcycle in vee-mode. He's got a scary satan-horned-goat skull on the handlebars. Motorcycle TFs were never very good, IMHO, until Armada Sideways hit the shelves. They've been pretty sweet ever since. And, while Target didn't have any shelved, the shelves WERE marked for the new TF Universe figures. Prowl and Sunstreaker, anyone?

During the same shopping trip in which I grabbed Ratchet and Blackarachnia, a nearby Target had Sunstreaker, Prowl, and Tankor (Octane ), as well as Leader class Bulkhead & Megatron AND....... SUPER DUPER FREAKIN HUGE SUPREME OPTIMUS PRIME! ;D I really want Bulkhead and Megatron, and I wouldn't mind having that big Optimus too, but I just don't have that kinda cash right now.

Thanks for the warning A little way into the slides in the exclusives there will apperently be a mini-con 12 pack at K-Mart. If I remember right these are about the perfect size for Tix...if anyone is feeling hearty and have some spare bases to attach them to.
