Got my Cyclonus and Hound today. I gotta give it to Hasblow: no crappy paint apps, no limbs fell off, and the plastic feels up to part, not flimsy like on the first wave. Question: Does anyone else's Hound missile launcher not hold onto his shoulder well; and when it does, points down and in?

Apparently it's a designfault with Hound. His launcher won't fit snugly into the gap on his shoulder. You have to prop it up with his wheels, or put it in his fist, as I do.
Yup, that means my Henkei! Hound arrived today (together with Needlenose and Skydive -yay).
The extra chrome and paint apps are totally worth the extra $ for me.

He-is-beautiful. I buried Rava-beak back into the package. That thing is so stupid and fugly I don't even want to look at it.

awesome acquisitions rodimus. I'm having non-buyer's regret now on that fansproject ultra magnus, shizzam.

as mentioned trailbreaker that's a custom "upgrade kit" to the classics ultra magnus figure made by a company called fansproject. Since you are like me and did not purchase the kit when it was rleased (about $75-$80), we now have to pay in excess of $125 for the upgrade armor alone. If you're like me and don't even have the classics magnus figure...factor in the cost of getting one of him too

it's the same weapon as Ironhide, one side is a gun, the other a blade. I have him posed with the blade, it just seems more doctor like. ;)

My latest additions.

Love Cyclonus, very disappointed by Galvatron. I also picked up a movie leader-class Megatron for $4. He's missing the gun pod from his left arm but otherwise in good working order.

Finally, the trio is complete.

Why oh why did Hasbro feel the need to change the paint shades on Bombshell? Kickback and Shrapnel share the same color shades, so why change them on Bombshell? Grrrrr.. :x
