Ok so this "new" two-pack has just been unveiled...and part of me wants to hug hasbro...the other wants to strangle them. Why? well the lazy-sacks-o-shiznit that they are are re-releasing some cybertron figures that should be on the markdown counter for somthing brand-spankin new. Why? Because they're LAZY! Not a color nor a sculpt has been changed. And can you imagine how much this is going to be at retail???? A recently $50 figure and a $20 figure packaged together...thats $70 dollar minimum...i wouldn't be suprised if they jacked up the price another $10. And then the kicker is the fact that they're being passed off as Universe figures. At least the Blaster is a remold/repaint....still, EVEN that bugs the ever loving crap out of me. So why would I even consider this two-pack? Because Cybertron prime is a kick ass figure. One that I do not have the pleasure of owning. I was SUPPOSED to get him black monday...or black friday, whatever its called, but my Toys R Us got Cybertron Metroplex in-stock instead. Chromedome is just a bonus in my opinion.
Optimus: overall he looks quite nice. from the Matrix Of Leadership in his c
hest to the kick-ass- ness of his removable jet pack thingy....i really do love this guy. and judging by the three plus modes i saw in robofeeneys review (i'd would link you but he went ape-shiznit on his profile) he looks worth the price alone.

Crumplezone: I am not familiar with this guy at all...so be warned. I'm not too crazy for his alt mode....it's WAY too overdone. I've seen that same kind of futuristic car-thingy loads of times. The color scheme is quite nice looking though. The lime green goes well with the black of his body....the thing that really gets me thought is....the head sculpt. I LOVE the jaw. It reminds me of Jaws from James Bond....that kind of "powerful but slow look". I ,also, am fallin in love with this guy
Twins?
My Opinion?
- I hate hasbro
- I think it's a lazy move.....but....
- the figures look nice.
- There could be worse figures to re-issue.....right?
overall this 2-pack gets a 3 out of a possible 5 on the Cap-O-Meter
