Buh? What's wrong with Ransack's robot mode? I LOVE it! Comapred to G1 Kup, G1 Ironhide, Energon Bulkhead, Cybertron Vector Prime, and Cybertron Brakedown(any other "old guys?) he actually looks like he's an ancient battle worn Transformer.

Ok, granted things do pop off during transformation, but since it's easy to pop back on, it's perfect for the character!

I too hate that figure. Not because he's ugliy, but because of his altmode. It diesn't make sense to me that the fabric and the canvas on a sopwith camel would split apart rather than tear.

And yes, I realize that I ask for "sense" and am talking about giant robots that transform into other things.
Bear with me.

Just google "Dotm Laserbeak backpack," have you really not seen how hilariously awesome Laserbkeak is as a magic mushroom? :lol: He can fit on anything with some 5mm pegs on their back. So Dotm Voyagers Optimus, Megatron, and Shockwave all look GREAT with him. HA Sandstorm apparently can too, lol. My only regret is that I couldn't find Fireburst Optimus, but it looks great with the regular voyager too, with two BFGs! :michaelbay:

Since Laserbeak is so posable, it's easy to get him into a variety of positions. So you can have the wings splayed out, have them folded in, have the 'head' of the jet mode facing upwards or down if you don't like the paint apps on it showing, you can have the wings folded away and just use it like a dual-prop helicopter pack, etc. Lots of very good looking options.

I love how much of an 'angel of death' vibe Shockwave gives, haha. I really wish I'd been able to pick him up.

Note about Murderbee, it requires a little bit of modification. Laserbeak's wings have to be removed. The effect is great though. I know that someone posted a pictures of post-op Laserbeak, all wingless and chickeny, pretty funny stuff. :lol:

Awesome! I own 6 in this mold, including two laserbeaks.

Wait!? lol, that's not GDO Laserbeak, SMH. I own 2 of them non the less. And to think I just purchased them for their Mechtech weapons.

Overquoting to point out that's MY MURDERBEE! :DANCE:
I always find great when someone save my pictures and repost them!

By the way, to make that Murderbee, you have to remove Laserbeak's torso that hold the legs, the head, and the tail. What you are left with is the wing assembly that simply tuck away under Bee's roof backpack in his robot mode. Simple, and highly effective!

If someone want a Murderbee of his own, just mail me an offer. I have a spare Bee and Beak to make another brand new Murderbee.

I like the yellow movie redeco of Cybertron Mudflap. Though I have him as my classics Erector. Why they didn't sell him as that or at least as an Autobot is beyond me.
