Grimlock doesn't do "round head" too well, awww.
I do want them though. And an extra Shockwave to play with.

You forgot Loyal Subjects.

Do we not have enough of this crap? Seriously, the market on shitty figures with giant heads is flooded.I'm going to drink til I black out, wake me up when this trend and fidget spinners are gone.

They remind me of these toys (which my mum exchanged some \"dodgy\" Mexican imported G1 Transformers for at the local market when I was a kid) :
– Madballs: Head-Popping Action Figures – Weirdo Toys

I guess that Barricade has successfully willed himself out of movie-exclusivity at this point. He had the TFCC figure, his retro appearance in FtF, and now a ball toy. He saw where he wanted to go with his career, and got there. Out of Bay's character pit. Good man.

Took me maybe too long to realize that weird bucktoothed one was suppose to be Grimlock…Wow, that's horrible. XD

Why do they always insist on making Shockwave merchandise when the figure has a round head?
Jochimus
Heh, more Southparkformers. Interesting.

I thought that was Beachcomber…
Also, where's Hound?

Ha. I love these stupid little things.
