But is that it? The truck mode is a bore and the robot mode is far from anything special, altho the head sculpt is cool. The rest of the bot mode is quite ugly and generic movieverse styled. I rather spend my money on a transformers liquor cabinet bar fridge that can fit the assorted cybertronian drinks and opens to allow them to be taken out and placed in 5 mm hands ala cogwheels drink tray. it doesn't need to transform and it sure doesn't need a vehicle mode.

Well, at least for me, he's a character I've wanted in a transformable toy mode since he appeared in 2007. Part of that want is because of how funny his brief appearance was. Yes he now sports Mood Whiplash which is cool. But we all know what it should have said. And with that, I must say, MOUNTAIN DEW IS THE BEST SODA EVER MADE.

Yeah, that about sums it up for me too. Well, that and the fact that it so closely relates to one of the many hilarious moments in Maximum Overdrive. The scene where the soda machine takes out the little league coach with first a groin shot and then a fatal shot to the forehead with high powered soda can launches (Priceless moment! If you haven't seen the movie...WATCH IT!)
This is also one of the very few times that you will not hear me complain about a re-paint. I approve of this one whole heartedly.
MINDVVIPE wrote:Hah, I saw that movie, it was so bad but in the best way, especially if you enjoy watching humans being terrorized by machines. Definitely watch it. Damnit... that reference actually made me appreciate this figure more, haha! The first one this figure would kill is that whiney voiced wife chick. Urgh her voice was nails on a chalkboard.

Like you play with any other figure?Bluespindash97 wrote:This is pretty darn awesome, except how do you play with it?
Not really. It's fairly known that he's a Decepticon.Bluespindash97 wrote:Is it a bot or a con? Kinda confusing, huh!
Yeah, there was. Though, not a transforming one, but a toy is still a toy. And not in 2007, but 2008. It was a Robot Heroes figure:Bluespindash97 wrote:Also my brother tried to convince me that their was a Dispensor toy back in 2007 and I went yeh right like that'll happen!

Shipping hurt, but the price was better than TFSource.
Yeah, the figure was too big to fit into the Deluxe packaging.Fires_Of_Inferno wrote:Hm, they put Bumblebee in the same packaging they put the Voyager figures in.

Just like they did for a few of the final non-EX United toys.Fires_Of_Inferno wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Yeah, the figure was too big to fit into the Deluxe packaging.Fires_Of_Inferno wrote:Hm, they put Bumblebee in the same packaging they put the Voyager figures in.
Yeah, looking at my one, and he IS pretty beefy for a deluxe figure. they'll probably sell him at the Voyager price point too.
