Ok so first up, PCC (power core combiners) wave 2: This's probaly hit in august or september. this continues the trend of me liking the look of the PCC scout figure with their "Targetmasters". in this wave, we have Leadfoot w/ pinpoint (essentially a mirage homage, Icepick w/ Chainclaw and Sledge w/ throttler. As individual figures, these guys rock, and for the most part, their torso modes are bad. Icepick's which we saw at botcon kind of looks like a squat sumo-wrestler, but i can dig it. IF i go into the PCC line im gonna focus on the scouts with the targetmasters and maybe get one or 2 of the five-packs which have been hit or miss so far. I like the look of all the scout 2-packs in PCC and scouts are pretty affordable, so yea.
Onto HFTD (hunt for the decepticons) wave 2: agian, due late august, or sepetmeber. I've already pre-ordered sidearm sideswipe cause its a new mold but its still sideswipe and he;s got guns now, and in there most recent webisdoe, hasbro explained this switch in waepons, and they fixed the feet on Sideswipe form the wheels, whihc makes me happy.so looking forward to this guy. The only other figure i dig in this wave is Hailstorm, a deluxe class tank. Nice looking robot and alt mode, and there a missle pod attached but it looks like the missile are pressure launch. I hate pressure launch missiles on figures. i'll try and still get this figure though.
last point: Masterpiece prime Sleep mode version is @ japanes retial. It's essentially alighter grey and black from from the nemesis prime verion and is supposed to depict that scene fomr the 1986 movie where prime dies. I have one point to make on this, and that i dont see this point of this toy at all, unless you want to go for a "ghost Optimus" or a "fhost nemesis prime" feel. Its a toy for an iconic scene sure, btu it seems Takara has been bitten by the repaint instead of doing a die tfferetn masterpiece figure bug. I look forward to the next actual masterpiecoy.
I'm zack and this has been Transformers: Rambling Editorials.
