Considering how epic/badass Darkmount is, it's sad he isn't a Voyager or Leader. Though it happens so often, amazingly awesome characters get released no taller than 5-6 inches. Like G2 Laser Prime, he's a deluxe, what the crap?!

Ah, I see. I don't much care for the character either, but his MP looks slick and awesome. Totally worth 60 clams if Hasbro releases him, but not Takara MP worth it for me.

The Takara release has Optimus translucent, while the wings, arms, missile launchers, and Magnus hammer are shiny metallic. I don't like Takara's metallic style because the matte colors were actually screen accurate. But if I have no other choice, I can reconcile the shiny upgrades as... shiny upgrades.
Oh, okay, yeah. I new part of it was translucent. Some of my friends who did get it, put on the upgrades on the their Hasbro version. It doesn't look so bad, but yeah, an all matte version would be cool if it got released here.

I found Darkmount and Red Alert at the same time in a Wal-Mart, so there should be Soundwave once another shipment comes in... just need to luck out or work fast.
Whoa, since they're startin' to show up, Dirge might be showin' up soon. He's the one I'm mostly goin' for. Perhaps Blurr as well.

I prefer finding TFs on the pegs if possible, to buying them online. Something about the thrill of the hunt.
Ah, yes. Thee thrill of ze hunt.

Haha, that reminds me, I had a shirt once that said: "I went to Europe and this was all I got, f*ck this..." It had a cartoon turd with sunglasses eating a banana. It was a big inside joke between some college mates and I. Haha, got kicked out of Wal-Mart for wearing it.
