This week seems to be devoted to paint variants, so to go along with the trend I'm going to throw one more Starscream onto the pile. This time I'm taking a look at the BBTS exclusive Dark Energon version. This is a pretty spiffy figure that I just got in this week 
As the end of the year draws closer, I find myself trying to catch up on some older reviews that I haven't gotten around to yet. So in order to save a little time and hopefully fit more things into my schedule, I'm going to have a few "quick looks" at some repaints. 
I’ve been falling behind on my Transformers Prime reviews over the last few weeks, so I thought I’d play a little catch-up and review two. Today I’ve got the monstrous Darkness Megatron and the equally intimidating Arms Micron Dark Matter Calibur sword. 
When it comes to Transformers, I’ve been mostly obsessed with the Prime figures (and their Arms Microns) ever since the First Editions started hitting. So I thought I’d be able to take a break with the return of the Generations, but Hasbro wasn’t about to release their stranglehold on my wallet! 
Originally my plan was to write a review about the new TMNT figures I picked up at Toys R Us last week, but SDCC changed everything. With the disappointing follow up news to the Hasbro panel, I figured a review on Takara’s Transformers Prime Breakdown figure was appropriate. 
I hope you guys aren’t getting tired of Transformers. I try to mix my reviews up a bit so that you don’t have to read about the same toy line constantly, but I also wanted to get this guy out of the way before more show up. 
While hunting the Vehicon from Prime/Robots in Disguise’ third wave, I happened upon this Hot Shot figure at Walmart. I hadn’t planned on buying this figure. But when faced with a new toy during a run, sometimes the urge to bring something back is too strong.
