I don't think that I need to say anymore...granted, the energon line is the "kid friendly" TF line but these seem even bad for kids toys...

Luckily I Was able to sell mine on ebay already. :eyebrow:

Swoop is decent minus his crazy arms

ARGH! I ordered mine from BBTS despite the criticism, just 'cuz I like Grimlock and wanted to go on another childhood-nostalgia-trip-thing. I just hope they don't turn out to be as dissapointing as everyone says.

Which they probably will. :(

To right the wrong of buying the things in the first place, even though the robot modes did look crappy on the box, after I sold mine on ebay I celebtrated by picking up WingSaber, whose Japanese G1-esque essence certainly makes up for the sting of Energon Grimlock and Swoop :D

Despite the words of warning I also bought a set.

Utter crud. Swoop looked awesome in the pictures, what went wrong?

Mega Dinobot is the worst combiner. Ever.
