Why is Dropkick so popular?

Postby Bonecrusher27 » Tue Aug 14, 2007 12:48 am

For the longest time, Dropkick was sold out on preorders until recently when he became available again.

I'm wondering why is he popular: is it he looks good, he's someone important in the Transformers universe, etc? i've only just now been able to make my pre-order on him!

Just look at him... He's great. Small, but great. I'm not a fan of that dull grey coloring, but he looks awesome in both robot and alt mode. Looks quite posable, he's not having that friggin drone head and he's a decepticon... What else to say ?

1.) Yes, he looks good. Damn good.

2.) He was in the video game.

3.) He's a new movie line figure. (<- this one pretty much says it all.)

Plus he's one per case in the new assortment, due out September.

That wickedly cool decepticon logo covering his hood and roof is nicely done too.

He's a cool looking figure but needs more colour, I'm sick of all the grey plastic in the movie line.

Because he looks cool and doesn't have the giant camera lense for a head.

He's also a pickup truck with a removable bed cover--not many of those around!

Because he's like the 2nd best deluxe figure of the line.

That Decepticon symbol paint job is what makes him appeal to me.

I think he looks good.

Got some nifty features in alt mode. Such as the removable bed cover. The drop down rear door does open.
