Transformers: Generations: Alt-Modes Series 1 (Megatron, Nemesis Prime, Optimus Prime, Prowl, Skywarp, Starscream, Thundercracker, Ultra Magnus)

When I first saw these reported at Toy Fair, I thought it was some kind of joke.  Hasbro might have achieved a new level of stupid with these Alt-Modes.  What these are is a large head with an Autobot or Decepticon logo on top.  If you pull the logo up it makes them “transform” and I use that word loosely.  They go from tiny vehicle with enormous head on top to tiny body with an enormous head.  I could barely make them stand up in robot mode as the legs are not held in place.  They just flip down and fold up when the internal mechanism spins around, so there is no ratcheting to hold them in place, and the weight of the head makes them fall right over unless you can balance them just so.  They really suck.  The transformations sometimes get stuck, especially the Megatron.  The molding and painting of the faces isn’t bad, but not much else to say about them.  Unfortunately, there will be a series two, but hopefully that will be it.

Thanks for reading!
