The gestalts look terrific....but horrible, horrible names... I really do not like this new trend of taking a previous name and sticking a "Maximus" behind it....as if it were to make it any better. Oh well, I suppose i should not gripe, seeing as how I could call them any name under the sun should I choose to, but it just irks me... Wing Saber is a definite buy...the rest I will pass on.

I don't really like the gestalt forms or their names much (Constructicon Maximus, wtf?). I like the deluxes, so I might get the deluxes, and the two basic molds (in the color schemes I like).

Dang it! Why does the new Ironhide have to look better than the other one?

Don't see anything about wingsaber that I really like. He transforms from a triangle to a square with arms and legs.

I want TFU Ultra Magnus.

I like em all apart fro Prowl and Starscream.

Not so sure about the Maximus part but I mean a lot of people will just call them Superion and Construction(Devastator).

And Magnus is one cool looking recoloure. I would have liked a bit of a head remold though.

I agree with the sentiments so far.

I really don't care about Prowl and Screamer. But my only question becomes why did they make another Sideswipe *Armada* repaint? It was a crappy mold to begin with and still is now.

Back in college, during my down-on-his-luck-actor-days, I was in a film called "Steamhammer".

...I don't want to talk about it.

I'm still seeing Ironhides around. I doubt that a lime green version is going to be any more popular.

Like the gestalts. Hate the names.

I reported to Prowl vs. Starscream a while back. Didn't like it then, really don't like it now. Same with Treadshot vs. Magnus.

Somehow the Red Alert repaint looks cheap. The same with others. I don't know whether this is intentional—are the "battle in a box" sets pitched at a 'value' market? What are prices like? The number of paint-apps per figure appears to have been trimmed down, for starters.

You know, I'll worry about these figures once I start to see wave 3 in my area.

I like what I see, aside from the gestalt names. Constructicon Maximus and Superion Maximus? And this just after Sentinel Maximus was released at OTFCC. I hope the Superlink names are better.
