lightspeed is good. not as good as strafe or afterburner to me. and of course, no fort max lol but atleast you got one eventually.
prices: im not sure on exact numbers, but i know the first prime was around $25. i used to get $25 for christmas from my grandparents and i used it for him that year lol i think gestalt componets were $5 cause i remember i got all the technobots at once for around $20 (all save scattershot. he was more. probly $15). soundwave was about $20. i won $20 at bingo one night (first and only time ive won so far...), and the next day i went and used it for him.
and i dont think prices have really changed all that much from then to now actually. maybe a dollar or 2, but not much. oh well, im just rambling out loud
