Malform: Depends on whether you rule that turning a flier is like adjusting an arm or like turning a base, I suppose. One you can do after firing, the other you can't.

Im not 100% sure what you are getting at... Are you meaning firing whilrs projectiles at 2 different targets? Its been a long standing rule that a figure with multiple attacks can attack more than one figure. I see no reason why whirl would be judged any differently.

All you need to do is take him off the base, shoot at one figure, shoot at another... So I dont really understand what you mean by "turning".

I look to the ruling on the AT-RT here, which states that one can swivel the head in between shots, as long as the base isn't torqued around. In this case, the "head" of the figure is just attached to a string, so I imagine it can be taken off the base, swiveled around for one shot, then strung back all the way around and flipped sideways for the second shot (if the player so desires), and finally placed back on the base.

I do not quite understand why the pictures in the little booklet were not updated since the showing of the prototype figs. Well, I guess it's kind of funny to see Prime and Galvatron with small missiles.

This is starting to look like a pretty good series. With the new infitrate special, Whirl, Grimlock, and maybe a decent striker in Strongarm. Transformers got my vote for best starter set outta the new series so far.

They should have gotten the bullets correct before they made a quick start guide.

I wonder if Soundwave will have a medium red missile, or a medium purple missile, or a medium silver missile like the original toy? Or could they crush my hope and give him a red or purple small missile?

I think that Soundwave is going to have a medium purple missile. Unlike Prowl who is getting his nice medium silver missile. Whatever I'm sure of though, is that Soundwave is definately not going to have a small missile.

I'm kind of dissapointed in all the repaints . Still, Prowl, Whirl, Strongarm, Soundwave, Grimlock, and Bumblebee look cool.

I would like to point out how all the shooters have different colored buttons(On missile launcher), to match there guns or themselves.(Ex. Omnicon) I wonder if that means that all the new TF tix will have matching buttons.(Instead of bright red)

I am still trying to get used to it myself. However after seeing just how awesome the starter set is, I am alot more interested in this series now. I am like the wind (or like a woman), I just keep changing which direction I feel about this set. Right now, I am really happy. Tomorrow might be diffrent.

There is only one figure the set is missing: Hot Rod. I found a pic of him from Toy Fair '07

Well, if you mean who I think you mean, isn't that just Rodimus?

Sorry... That happens sometimes when you link from other sites... Fixed now.

Yes, hotrod would be a rodimus repaint.


*edit*
Now that I actually look at it... He isnt even a repaint, its just rodimus with a hot rod sticker! lol

[Penguin]

Oh, I was all excited and all "Awesome they're going to have Hot Rod, can't wait for all these G1 guys!"
