A good mold and a very good mold given animation-accurate redecos with no Random Chrome on them. Recommended. (Okay, the die-cast metal Matrix is randomly chrome, but that's not as big a deal.)

Grimstone and Steamhammer both Recommended. Grimstone is a sort of balance of really good and so-so elements, while Steamhammer is fairly consistently good.

GIVE ME YOUR FACE! Or not, really. The Fallen's toy is still pretty bad, even with the new removable face.

Well, they're $6, worth picking at least one up to try out the concept. Also, Knock Out is a hammerhead trike.

Stakeout is pretty bad, Crankcase is pretty good. Fortunately, I got Stakeout for $10 on Black Friday (well, Saturday), so I don't feel particularly ripped off.

Steelshot is good, but saddled with a weak Mini-Con. The other two are Buyer's Remorse. Yep, clearing out some of my review stack this afternoon. :)

At 1:6800 scale, it was already doomed to detail problems. But they managed to make it bad in several other ways too. A pity, too, because the basic idea is a good one.

A couple of redecos/remolds I picked up for a friend and reviewed before packing up. I might buy myself an Axor if I see it for $10 or less, but I'm gonna pass on Rescue Ratchet (nothing terribly wrong with it, just getting tired of red and white redecos of movie Ratchet).
Tags:
Both redecos of Recommended molds, but Sunspot isn't really that good. Firetrap is worth picking up, tho.

My Ironhide feels like a knockoff, but Rodimus Minor is pretty good. Neither is worth going through a scalper for, though.
( And I touched up my Rodimus Minor already. )

All mildly recommended. Sledge/Throttler is the best core design, but ends up ugly. Leadfoot/Pinpoint and Icepick/Chainclaw are both just kinda mediocre overall. Sledge does have the advantage of coming with Throttler, who turns into a Core Drill of sorts, for the piercing of heavens and suchlike.
