Went to the store the other day for the first time since seeing the show and spotted a Quillfire, my first time seeing him. I chose not to pick him up because of money concerns but he looks good and I want to get all the Warrior Decepticons and most of the Autobots from this show. I'll opt for TAV Voyager Grimlock, Leader Prime, Jazz, TAV Strongarm since her deco is better there.

I'd honestly opt for all the TAV Autobots, except Legion Fixit, which is technically more inaccurate over there. I digress. Bumblebee and Sideswipe might have minor touch-ups, but those make a huge difference. The wheels, especially, but other details like Sideswipe's waist & grill and Bumblebee's brake-lights & door stripes make them each more complete. Sure, it might blow a gaping hole in your wallet....
....
Anyways, this is my Adventure collection for example, sans TAV Jazz, who I haven't updated the group shot with yet. And again, there's Hasbro's Fixit:

Eh, the wallet will get over it. Besides, there is a nice gap between titans return starting and right now. I'm not sure how or when you buy compared to things coming out, but the titans aren't even shipping the initial preorders for a few more weeks, meaning they won't be available en masse or hitting store shelves frequently until probably August, so you have some space.
And I recommend TAV 29 Supreme Bumblebee. Nice paint, excellent detail, and he has a show accurate weapon. Plus, ya know, he's powered up. I have him and I love him.

I wish he was part of the HLJ sale.

This is the same size/shape as the connector on the back of the Minicons and it can be used to connect the plugs on to the standard connectors on Prime Deployer/Delux toys.
Hopefully people wont have thrown them out.
You just saved mine from the trash but I don't see how the connector would connect to a proper Mini-Con port on toys from past lines. The rectangle sized hold wouldn't accommodate the traditional ports, or any 5mm peg for that matter.

Yep, the minicons in particular have had scarce sightings. If you find something though and you don't think we newsed it or anything, feel free to drop it in a thread or reports news up there in the top right corner! If we have it, we just have more proof; if we don't, everyone else now knows about it!

Sure,will do. If I had known these were rare I would have shared.
Just in case there's any left, it was asda Park royal and they had the whole wave

Well we did let people know we were looking for them when word first got out they were at Asda. It just took a while for someone to send a picture. But we did let people know, we knew they were out since at least early june and I personally asked for a picture to be sent: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=101922&p=1795527&hilit=asda#p1795527

Mutant mask? Scorponok looks okay so far. I don't want to be the bad grape in the vine, but I can't make any final judgments before I see Takara's Scorponok.

Yeah I noticed that paint as well. He looks great. Very original for a scorpion transformer. What I find very interesting is how his bucaneer like sabr becomes his stinger.

He really is a unique bugger and I love it. The skinny legs look a bit weird to me, but overall he is a darn good looking guy

Yeah, they are very extreme. Its because for this toy, it seems the designers wanted to give something very new with having the limbs not be anything repeated from the alt mode (which is very hard to do with beasts), so he ends up having a lot of kibble in the back and on his shoulders with small arms and legs that can tuck away easily in alt mode. It was a bold decision and I give it merrit but I do admit that it would have probably been better to integrate some more alt mode into the limbs. I will still get this guy though, I am a sucker for original designs.
But if someone wants an awesome transforming Scorpion bot, Beast Wars Scorponoc offers an excellent and very modern transformation.

I love the design, loved the extreme's they went to in rotf and beast machines, so this is great - though, I would like to know just what his arms are supposed to be, tentacles? And to be fair, he can wear his claws as boxing gloves, so that's partial integration
