We got the "First Edition" figures in at work, only the individuals, and I picked them up. I was going to resell them at first but then my curiosity got the better of me. I opened them and have been playing with them since. I figured if the figures looked this good I needed to check out the show.

Only thing that bothers me is Bumblebee not talking. That is something I wish had been left in the Bayverse.

I saw the show and as soon as I finished the first 5 episode arc I went out and got the ''first edition'' deluxe Starscream figure. What can I say, it's one accurate figure. Very poseable and just great looking. I was a bit dissapointed because his jet mode is a little smaller than usual but his robot mode is alot bigger than you would expect. None of the other figures interest me except for Megatron. I may end up getting the Takara release if I can find him for cheap.


And yeah, I'm a little bit sick of bubblebee being the ''cute'' Transformer, but I get it. He's for the kids. S'all good.

Right now there are the three single packed figures out and there is supposed to be a Megatron vs Prime pack. I haven't seen it at my store and those I talk to at other stores haven't seen it either. I know it's out as I've seen reviews of it online though. I want it because right now there aren't plans to release another version of Megatron.

I have been watching the series as much as I can. The CGI and animation took time to get used to but the stories have gotten much better as the season progressed. For those that are wondering when season 2 goes on air...February 18.

In terms of Bumblebee not being able to talk, I do wish that they kept that aspect in the live action movie continuity. However, there have been rumors that there will indications in season 2 about why he cannot talk.

If anyone is wondering if Starscream would be back, there are rumors that he will be and with friends...now it is hard to say who are his friends but I imagine that theses are his trine-mates.

I do hope that this series does not get canned like Animated, which turned out very good in season 3, did.

Yep, I can't wait till season 2 starts. Starscream will no doubt be back, and with his own little legion.

I do hope the series continues to do well and a 3rd season gets ordered. The writers have said they have plans to introduce Grimlock and the Dinobots in Season 3 if it does indeed happen. Which will be awesome!

At this point in time, Hasbro has indicated that season 3 has a green light at least the last that I heard. As for the Dinobots, they could possibly be introduced during season 2 or 3. Either way is fine for me.

Sooner than later I'd say. I want a new Grimlock figure.

Speaking of figures, I saw prototype Soundwave and Wheeljack figures from Prime. I believe they will be coming out in March. I love Soundwave's design in this show. And Wheeljack was cool. Looks like most of my Prime figures will be Decepticons. Even though I got the Deluxe Starscream I would glady buy a Voyager. Along with Megatron.
