I got the rest of my Decepticons in the mail today, and I like them very much. My Insecticons are very powerful launchers as well - although I have a question for you TF folks. In all the photos I saw I thought that tall black "stalk" was the Insecticon's head. But now that I have one to look at up close, it looks like the tiny purple spot at the bottom of the stalk is his head, and the rest is some sort of weird hat. (But the hat looks like it has a face on it.) What's the deal there?Its a hat, I can tell you that from my experience from the toy its based on.

After I sent a group of figures flying (and I mean FLYING) with Scorponok, I felt like the little kid near the end of The Incredibles - "That was TOTALLY WICKED!" Holy smoke he's awesome! And since my Megatron Jet arrived today, I used Megatron for the first time today. When I tried him out after buying the SWVTF pack, I was not impressed. But I used him in a game tonight and I got a knockdown with him every single time. Some of those shots were close to two feet away - one on Force Push Luke - and it was the most accurate Attacktix weapon I've ever used.
Megatron is fantastic from long range, easily the best in the game. The shape of the missile just lends itself to long range kills. We were playing on a pool table, and my friend got a kill with Megatron at four feet. I'm not kidding. Its just as good at short range as other Energy/Force Blast figures, but the Autobots Overhaul and Excellion are better at medium range. Try out Overhaul, for 30pts. Now there's a missile that will amaze you.

Incidentally, the guy I was playing against was using a good 200 point Rebel army (which also included one S4 Vader), his figures were white several times, and he got to use all 100 points of his backups. I was using all Transformers - 2x Battle Ravage, Megatron Jet, Scorponok, Crumplezone, Optimus Prime Truck, 3x Minicon and 1 Decepticlone, with Megatron, OP and 2 Insecticons in my backups. I thought for sure he was going to crush me, especially since his strikers (Vader and 3 Lukes) all had better range... but I ended up beating him and still had 120 points on the table. I was stunned. I am loving the Transformers!!
Thats some good shooting there.
