Oh... The more you know. Every pictures I saw of classic Mirage was with a hand that was replaced by that horrible thing. Like DOTM Airaid.

Thanks for putting him in the spotlight. I don't know how I missed him. Ended up picking up two at a 5 and below store. Very nice stock Mectech weapon too. Your custom one suits him as well. Again he's wicked to say the least. And I agree he deserves much more...

I think DotM deluxe Sideswipe and Barricade count since they're both still on the pegs after two years. Neither are the most posable figures because of their relatively inflexible knees, but Barricade is especially screen accurate and a big improvement over his '07 mold. Sideswipe is an ugly grey all over, not a drop of silver on him, and he's the least accurate of all the deluxe movie Sideswipes, but I still think he's beautifully sculpted and looks lithe and nimble. They look great on my shelf!

Ditto for Barricade. Great mold

Those Murderbee eyes, they pierce right into my soul... :shock:

As for Barricade, while I agree the DotM mold is an improvement over the first one from the 2007 movie, I wouldn't call it 'great'. Ever. For any reason. It's still stiff and clunky and its great honking Mechtech doesn't help.

revenge of the fallen ransack. He was on clearence at bbts for a while and i go him for like $3 haha. I know the robot mode is pretty crappy but the sweet bi plane mode with an old- time decepticon symbol, exposed (and beefy) engine, and excellent fire power is where the figure shines.

besides if it weren't for stupid bumblebee apparently ransack would have put skids and mudflap out of our misery http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Ransack_(ROTF)

he's also a seeker which is cool and makes it ok for his bot mode to look like crap cuz people's people modes look like crap when they get old too.......but i would never display him in bot mode though.....ever....

I love the Classics Mirage, even with the so-so gun. Never regretted buying him.

Agreed on ROTF Ransack, love the Biplane mode and Transformation. His robot mode is not even in the top-10 of worst robot modes for the ROTF line.

I picked up Universe Onslaught on clearance for $11 several years ago at TRU. Would have never bought him otherwise. Love him. Love the mold, size, riot shield and electronic noises.

Toys R Us is having a sale where you get a free DOTM Deluxe when you buy $25 worth of Transformers. Any recommendations besides Bumblebee?

Btw...great topic.
