Rank a 6? Pretty low-ranked General.
Very cool figure. Not perfect, but still cool.

Haha - yeah I was being sarcastic on both counts. I despise the stickers with a passion!! Every AM figure I say to myself will be my last - but I just keep going there As for the rank, I suppose if I were to make any sense of it in a story line, I would say that he is a General within Starscream's seeker/jet Vehicon army, and hence, lower on the overall totem pole. I know... It's a stretch lol! Totally agree that is turned out pretty well despite some deco flaws. Looks great on the shelf!

If only the stores hadn't bought so many Wave 1 shipments.ebeforei wrote:That's a great point - you'd think that a toy that could be seen as an army builder would be one of the first releases by Hasbro.
Honestly, there was not a single time I walked into any of the Big 4 retail stores that didn't have either a Bumblebee, a Cliffjumper, or a Wheeljack during the time that the PRID toys were sold.

I thought the prid Vehicon sold well - at least in my area.... Oh well... As is, it is not bad. I just wish Takara would drop the prime AM stickers and just go back to paint!! They do it so well. Ah well, the AM line will most likely be done soon enough... I wonder if the Takara Beast Hunters line will be stickers?
By the way, thanks for the excellent review!

Oh man, I had totally forgotten about that. It seemed as if for months there was nothing but an endless seas of 'Bee's and Cliffjumpers.

This mold looks so much better in black. Its just weird they didn't paint the whole thing silver. It's like they went over budget with the micron, so they could only afford to paint the roof.

Now I can't get Carly Simon out of my head lol
I like the figure pretty well, but you have a valid point. The whole Takara sticker thing is crazy considering what they *can* do with paint.

That would look sweet! Surely some people will start customizing him soon enough. Looking forward to see what people do. To bad Takara didn't do it! (but he is pretty cool as is.. just upsetting to think what could have been!)
