Best / favorite media (comic, TV, etc.) of the year?

Legacy United figures are starting to show up at retail in various places in the world. One of the first wave of Core Class figures is Megatron, from the Transformers: Energon series, and regular reviewer Chuckdawg1999 had given us a solid look at the new figure.
Thankfully I didn't have to wait as long as I thought to experience Core Class Energon Megatron. It's a good figure but nothing groundbreaking or radically different. I do find it funny that the upgrade to Armada Megatron is three size classes smaller. Transformation is simple, joints are tight, and Megs looks just like it did during the run of the Energon cartoon. Like I said, nothing bad but nothing surprising.
Are you a big Energon fan and glad to see more figures popping up? Let us know what you think of this latest figure, and happy hunting for new figures!
Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Chuckdawg1999, we have a new video review for a brand new figure from the upcoming Legacy United line, Tasmania Kid! Tasmania Kid is a character from the Japanese Beast Wars II universe, and is part of the first wave of Core Class figures in Legacy United. Let's see what Chuck has to say.
I'm not that familiar with Tasmania Kid, either the toy or the character. I know it comes from the Japanese Beast Wars II cartoon but that's about it. The figure we have here is nice, but I find parts of the transformation fiddly, there will be some lines as is the case with some beast figures. While not the best Core Class figure in United Wave 01, it's not the worst and I know fans of Tasmania Kid will be happy.
It looks like an interesting Core Class figure, with a rather unique transformation. Is anyone adding him to their ranks? Let us know what you think below!
