Generations/Classics/Universe/Transformers 2010

I made a deal with someone across the pond on another forum for Windcharger, so he'll be in my hands in a few weeks.

I managed to get the last of Generations and the last of RTS by watching HasbroToyShop's listings like a hawk over the course of a month. I only had a small window to order and they only restocked a handful at a time, so everything shipped separately and ate my lunch. Everything's gotten here but Wheeljack, who's been backordered.

Opinions:

Lugnut: Awesome. Buy him. Now.
Grapple: Inferno's better. Unless you're a Classics-completist like me, feel free to pass.
Thundercracker: Worth the wait. The mold is kind of blah, but that's expected. Love the new type of silver paint.
The Path into Heaven: Another awesome figure. He also has the new silver paint, and is fun to mess with. The missile is very losable, so watch out.

Looks like I'm going to Transformer hell... just won Universe Galvatron on eBay. At least I got Kup and Scourge with him.

Be prepared for a fiddly, small, uninspiring mold.

No ******* kidding!

How many pieces can possibly fall off one figure during transformation? It would be a lot easier to lower my expectations if this wasn't, y'know, ******* GALVATRON!

Is Energon Galvatron expensive? Or is it still relatively easy to come by? I kind of like that one.

To quote from Shaun of the Dead, "Ooh! He's got an arm off!"

Somewhere between the packaging and the shelf, I lost one of his hands. That was two years ago. When's he going ho- wait, wrong context.

I'm pleased with Scourge, with a little sanding over his thighs, I will give him some full leg articulation, and be set with a proper Unicron crew. 1 Scourge, 2x Sweeps, 1 Cyclonus 3x Armada, and 2010 Unicron. Now I just need to figure out a good display for them..

Tore the damn house apart trying to find Rodimus and Cyclonus I bought a few months ago. WHAT THE [composite word including 'f*ck'], HOUSE?

Picked up Thundercracker. Absolutely ace.

One of my new seekers (can't recall whom, it was Thundercracker or maybe Dirge- I got them both in the same shipment) had a mis-assembled forearm. In a way that I can't fix. Right forearm and right fist on the left arm... so it can't be flipped over, even if I took out the pin. I thought it was just upside dwn first, and thought I could take a stab at fixing it... but no. Prolly not worth seeking out a replacement... but mildly annoying. I think it's literally the first time I've ever got a messed up TF out of the box.

Battle in Space Rodimus and Cyclonus:

Good news is that Cyclonus looks great in purple. Absolutlely a fantastic figure straight out of the movie.

Hot Rod... looks like a cheap plastic Chinese piece of crap, mostly for the paint job. It's all bright fluorescent oranges and reds and yellows with very little detail, as opposed to the Universe Classics one. Very tempted to blow the cash on a new UC one and give this one to my nephew.
