Meh. If they wanted to make a movie version of a Transformer who is green with stars, I'd rather see Hound than Bulkhead.

There's not that much new stuff to report about the next couple of months probably will just see mostly repaints in the ROTF line. There are rumors that a G1 Repaint of the movie Devastator toy coming out maybe next year

Even I'm not a big enough fan to spend another hundred dollars on that mold, G1 colors or otherwise.

I really don't know if it'll look good or not... but, really, that thing is too expensive to buy a repaint.
If I wanted to spend a lot of money on a G1-inspired Devastator, I'd get one of the customs that occasionally pop up on Ebay. Some of them are damned brilliant, but are expensive as all hell by the final day of bidding.

Or if I wanted it in G1 Colors I would buy the G1 Devastator

Eh. G1 toys bore me. I'd rather wait for new molds of classic characters than get the classic molds themselves.

Nice. I haven't fiddled with mine yet; in fact, I've got a number of figures I haven't taken out of the box to check out yet. Been too preoccupied with other stuff.

I like him but mixmaster can get on your nerves

Yeah, I've seen reviews talk about how his sounds go off all the time.

Picked up Long Haul and Grindor today. Fiddled around with Long Haul a bit, and I like the robot mode, but getting the front end right for the vehicle mode was a bit annoying. Still, over-all the transformation was better than Mixmaster's.

Will pick up Long Haul the next time there is a sale on the ROTF line don't know about Grindor yet since I don't even have a version of the Blackout mold

I likely won't even open up my Grindor, as I already fiddled with both Blackout and Evac from the previous toyline. Still, he was in the movie, so I felt compelled to add him to my collection.
I also finally got around to checking out the Fallen, and I really think they need to release a Leader-class version of him that comes with a staff. The Voyager-class version is nice, but feels a bit too puny.

Since Hasbro does three leader class figures a year he could be one for next year Starscream has already taken one spot. Now Blackout/Grindor is the one that needs a leader class figure the most

I think if they were going to do that, they'd have done it with Blackout in the last movie's toyline.
I really can't think of who else they'd give a new Leader-class mold to aside from The Fallen, though. The only other figure from the ROTF movie itself that I think might work for it would be Ironhide, but I think that's even a longshot.

Picked up Ejector today, and I'll be hunting for those elusive Deluxes tomorrow while I'm out of town.

I already have Camshaft from the last toyline, so putting him in a special Leader package doesn't really entice me. However, as I don't have Leader Megatron yet, I may pick that up unless they're charging extra for Camshaft; and if I do, I guess I'll just keep Camshaft transformed into robot mode so he can sit ontop of my speakers with the loose Jungle Bonecrusher I got last year.
