SS86 Astrotrain...cracked shoulder out of the box. Only noticed during transformation. This thing fights you every step of the way.

I get the theory, but this thing is horrible. Wait for a heavy sale or skip this if you value your money.

Canceled my two Pulse preorders because these two were actually on the shelf...at a physical store. Saw the SS86 Snarl reissue too, but I didn't need him.

Liege feels worth all of the $59.99.

Astrotrain...uh...not so much. They should have just redeco'd Siege and put it in a box, because the Siege is much, much, much better. SS86 has better train and shuttle modes IMO, but too many compromises are made to get there. Robot mode is...really not very good.

Hoping after a few transformations I can warm up to Astrotrain, because whoa, swing and a miss. Wait for a sale. 6/10.

Liege Maximo, giant, chunky, simple to transform, great deco, feels like SS86 Grimlock and AOTP Megatronus. Really an old school Leader Class. You feel the value in-hand. All the joints are smooth and tight, it's a joy. I can't ask anything more from a Leader. Don't sleep on this one. 10/10.

Took me forever to find him without paying a kidney. Now, waiting on that Fangry reissue. I already have Twinferno and Repugnus. I've waited a long time to track thus beast down, so glad to finally have him!

Alt mode is a suitcase with wings, but the bot mode is nice. He's heavy and the colors pop. I'm not sold on the combiner gimmick so far, though.

Star Eagle, Nexus, Powerglide and Swerve...let's go!!!
