Holy crap! It even has the Shoomer face! I'm going to keep my eye on this one.

BAD-ASS!!!

I'd love to pose this guy next to MP Grimlock with the servant digs. Looking at the transformation scheme and proportions, I wonder if this is MT's way to strike back at iGear for the minibotsu war awhile back. I really wish MT would've kept up with their line.

I'm glad they didn't. Hover and Bomber looked naff. This does look pretty nifty though. iGear's Veer only arrived yesterday so I'm in no hurry to replace him, but I'll keep my eye on this. The serving tray is a nice touch but it'd never see any use. Will wait and see.

I prefer the larger scout sized Igear scale. It's just flat out more cartoon accurate. I never understood how anyone could consider penny racer sized cars in scale. The whole purpose of the G1 mini bot line was a gimmick to sell toys to kids with cheap parents. The scale was never meant to be taken seriously. I mean why would an A-10 Warthog be the size of a smart car ?

I agree. The accessories that come with this Swerve is awesome. I plan on getting this and the Generations one. They both look too good to pass up.

What a fun looking figure. Love the face expression.

MT has to make a Tailgate too or else I'll be picking up the Generations duo.

How about an IDW Cyclonus to go along with Generations Tailgate?

I understand that you can never understand other people's points of view or opinions. Which is fair enough.

I guess I keep forgetting that others can't make their own Cyclonuses like myself xD All that's really needed for an IDW Cyc is a new head. That Universe mold is really perfection.

As tall as their Nova Prime's legs.

Very on-the-fence with this one. If only they were a bit taller...

News Credits: 5 · by **Doctor McGrath** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 11:17 am

Yes please. All I wanted was the Swerve so Gears is just an added bonus. I think the molds look great & I'm impressed that there are remolded parts.

Need size and price, please. No preorders at BBTS yet.

I like the look of the Generations figure. So, we'll see, though these have a very Cybrotronian mode feel to the alt modes.

looks like he'll come with the MY First Blaster. Awesome

Same. The Generations figures look gangbusters, but if these are the right price/size, I might just bite.

looks good, but he's competing in size and price with the Hasbro one. I'll have to see some really cool stuff to do with this. Or it'll have to be cheap enough that I can convince myself it's worth it for the MFB.

Im trying to understand other peoples point of view, but in this case Im flat out failing to get it. Maybe you can explain why people want an A-10 Warthog to be the scale of a smart car. Toy accurate minibot scale was stupid in 1985 and its still stupid today. Im not trying to be offensive. This is just my personal opinion.
