Keep the new "old skool" coming H'bro, keep 'em coming

This is quite beyond Epic Want buda bup ba ba I'm Lovin it!

I'm hpoing that packaging is a typo'd "sample". It was billed as "Grapple" at the Cybertron Con, but that Walmart listing doesn't fill me with hope.

He has also got a lot more yellow since we first saw him!

I don't see the remould of the feet, but I do see the remould in the arms and hands. Maybe the solar storm thing will be a throw back to his solar power tower. Hopefully hinting at a new hoist too!

I'm not really fond of the yellow he's sporting, but I must get this guy anyway. Probably the closest thing to a Wreckers Pyro I'm ever gonna get.

Love the fact that there are remolded parts instead of a straight up repaint.

Don't like how the color got more yellow from the preview pic at toy fair, though.

He is a scout class figure so he should be about as big as any other scout which means he will be smaller than deluxe bumblebee.

Love this piece. Must have it! Been waiting for this one since we got the Inferno.

I also am not overly fond of the brightness of the yellow. I would like a more realistic yellow...
But I missed out on Inferno so this is a must get for me. And it looks great despite the coloration so I'm sure I'll be happy with it.

Given the amount of photoshopping that Hasbro's publicity department uses, I'm betting that this isn't the "real" shade of yellow on the fig.

when i was about 4 - before transformers made its debut on local tv.. i was into cranes.. loved them to bits.. later when i got into transformers.. i still had a soft spot for the construction vehicles - i think i recreated the scene from arrival from cybertron with my toy crane so naturally when i saw grapple in the toyshop i begged my parents to get it.. i don't think i had ever wanted a tf so badly ad grapple!

i even bought the reissue even tho my original was in decent condition... i have classics inferno and to be honest it's one of my least favourites - maybe cos he didn't have a big white step ladder.

he is very g1 like in his blockiness and his transformation is quite fun (i really like voyager class tfs cos of their balance in transformation complexity and size). I Am pleased they remolded the arms on grapple and gave him a decent sized crane.. though certain details would've been nice such as the inclusion of weaponry - hand gun and er gun for a hand.

and yeah he should be more orange.. in that pic he looks more like a homage to the micromaster erector

but hey i'll be buying him anyways.
