Here is the second member of the original "Twins of Offensiveness!" I still like Overrun/Runabout more, but this guy is pretty awesome for being free.

A good review but i have to disagree with him on his point that the club should have made one of them from Tracks. The Tracks version is good but 1) not as good as Wheeljack and 2) wouldn't work for either Runamuck or Runabout.

Still, it's good to see them in a video together finally! Now to see either of them in my collection. >:oP

I can see your point, but what about the Tracks mold would make it an inferior choice?

Nice review man. I'm pretty sure that Tracks is taller than Wheeljack because of the differing transformation, so then the Battlechargers would be different heights. I like the fact that the Wheeljack mould was used for both.

Can't wait for mine to arrive. :grin:

No not really. If you look at the toys & cartoon the top of the cars was their legs, but if you use Tracks you would have the under bottoms as the legs. Which wouldn't make it g1 accurate. Just got mine a few seconds ago!

I can see both sides of this argument. i think all we needed was the tracks front clip/heels and remove the spoiler from runabout/over-run to have him different and more g1. with the tracks/wj heels/feet being on ball socket they could have had the parts swapped out and additional paint apps added to make the swapped parts fit the colors of the individual figures(sg tracks and over-run) but all in all I like them. still upset with funpub for not controlling the quantity ordered on these guys like they said they would after the p/cp deal.

Okay. I understand about the accuracy to G1 being important so I will back down from the Tracks mold concept, but that tidbit about using some pieces from Tracks sounds pretty good to me. Mechhaven's idea for the bumper and spoiler to be different is intriguing to me, but I would also add the missiles as well. Regardless of the desired changes, I love these two rockheads the way they are.
