Streetstar

A Fallen Empire Toys Review! The unpainted black plastic doesn't look great, but if you're okay with the mold it's a worthwhile purchase.

Spark

A Fallen Empire Toys Review! A very strong figure that works well as the character it's intended to be.

Slicer

A Fallen Empire Toys Review! A very nice figure, whether you want it as Slicer and Shattered Glass Wheeljack

Sky-Byte

A Fallen Empire Toys Review! Th0r4z1n3 would suggest you wait until you find a good deal on Sky-Byte if you really want him.

Sharkticons

A Fallen Empire Toys Review! Th0r4z1n3 wasn't thrilled with these figures, but acknowledges that they're older molds, and sees a future for them as Sky-Byte's lieutenants.

Rapido

A Fallen Empire Toys review! The only figure that didn't sell out at Botcon 2010 is Th0r4z1n3's favorite figure from the set!

Clench

A Fallen Empire Toys Review! Th0r4z1n3 wound up liking this mold more than he expected, but it wouldn't be his first-choice recommendation from Botcon 2010.

Breakdown

A Fallen Empire Toys Review! Th0r4z1n3 would recommend Breakdown to everybody if not for the price.
