What is wrong with his face? Honestly I would have preferred a more toy accurate head this time if they had to do another MP Smokescreen. His original version was already toon accurate.

I'm looking to getting into 3rd Party collecting. Which party/line matches up best with the Masterpiece line? That's the main line that I'm focusing my collecting on now.

Other than Miracle Metal Works a few years back there hasn't been any official Vehicle Voltrons since the 80s.

Me too. Ironhide is my most anticipated release for the year. To me Binaltech/Alternators Tracks was so like his G-1 counterpart that its almost an unofficial Masterpiece,

tracks is looking pretty great! corss fingers mirage is next!!!!!!! The rumors are tracks, Road Rage [Red Female repaint of Tracks] and Ironhide.

I expected a Diaclone aka Blue Bluestreak when the mold was first announced. After the look of Smokescreen was revealed I half expected a toy accurate version later on. At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if we get that as well.

He's meant to be, but Grimlock is actually supposed to be taller than Optimus.

I wonder if we'll get a Blue Bluestreak like we did towards the end of Binaltech. If we do I might get a couple and an extra Smokescreen and customize a toy accurate Smokescreen.

Dear God. That face is terrible. I was going to buy it but I'm not sure now.

I crazy question, but re the MP heads easily removable? I was thinking of getting an extra Red-Alert and head swapping with G-2 Sideswipe [1 toy accurate RA amd 1 toon accurate amd a toy accurate G-2 Swipe]

An MP Fortress Maximus would probably too huge and too expensive for most people.

Wow. The toon head does not look good. I see where you're coming from, but I like it, especially now that I've gotten used to it. Not as slick as Prowl's and Streak's maybe, but it's toon accurate. I mean, what can ya do? Plus he compensates by having the most awesome car mode of the 3. Yeah I never liked that face in the middle of a brick look for his toon counterpart. I might just take my spare Alternator Smokescreen and do a head swap.

Wow. The toon head does not look good.

They finally revealed Smokescreen.

We couldn't get Smokescreen, Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus is in the opening and you want Dinobots?

It's not bad [its a nod towards BT Smokescreen] its just pointless. Smokescreen arrived at the near end of Season 2 and 5 episodes into season 3 they're giving him a new paint scheme? Am I the only one a bit annoyed about the return to status quo after Kline said they were chucking the constant return to status quo?

They're fine as long as they don't mention Magneto and being Mutants.

Thanks for the clarification redrum. It looks like an MP. I'm sorry if I misled anyone.

So another MP-Prime is on the way. Though this one looks like we may be finally getting our proper MP-Ultra Magnus

Tiger Tracks is coming out during the Summer. I wouldn't be surprised if we get Clamp Down and Deep Cover [and maybe G-2 Sideswipe] at some stage.

My knowledge on Orson Scott Card is limited. In what way is he a "homophobe" or "anti-gay"? Is he just pro-traditional marriage or is he a "all gays should be round up and executed"? The Homophobe card is just like the race card now. Just thrown out even when it doesn't apply.

AcidStorm is based on one of the Seeker clones that appeared in the episode BlueStreak,BumbleBee, TrailBreaker and Chip went to Cybertron and the Seekers created an Acid rain storm. How Chip didn't melt is beyond me.

Skids was part of the Binaltech/Alternators line. He was the Blue Scion.

So I was right about getting a TigerTracks repaint. I guess we should expect Clamp-Down and Deep-Cover at this point.
