Enjoy it while it lasts. Soon they'll paint it pink and call if Muther Hugger or something. Don't deny it. :grin:

Anyone know what the new dune buggy guy is called or a link to where you can see these new toys?

by **Fruitmech1** » Fri Sep 21, 2007 6:44 pm

Thanks for the link. Holy @%#$ that leader class Brwl looks like crap. The leader class optimus looks okay I guess He would have looked cooler in the Ultra Magnus color scheme though.

Yeah, brawl does look really stupid. They ruined it with the translucent blue plastic. Optimus could have been better as a white cab with a blue stripe down the middle, maybe some blue flame detail. Thus, UM.

I have my fingers crossed for BeachComber.

Pretty sure the buggy is called landmine. Looks nice, but I'm just a bit worried that what;s behind his face cage won't look remotely robotic. It appears to be bright blue alien instead.

Personally I can't wait for this figure it looks so awesome.
Though I'm definitely giving him a new head.
Dune Buggys FTW!
Also, the Escalade looks great. I'll pick that one up as well.

Wow I think thats the first time Ive seen those molds/repaints!! When was that news posted? Also what are they calling the brawl repaint?? Is that supposed to be desert attack Brawl?? If it is I dont see the use in the teal paint

I really like the dune buggy, the S-7 SUV, and the Osprey. I'm looking forward to this set coming out next year. Just hope I got the money to afford it.

I believe that's the Escalade bot created when the spark hit the ground. It's not one of the S7 GMC's.

I dont know guys the escalade looks like it has lots of kibble on it. Plus im kinnda tierd of bots whos upper bodies are bigger then there legs it really makes it hard for them to stand and pose. Hey thats just my opinion though.(Again I still apologize for any spelling errors, I still have a wicked cold and the medication is making me kinnda loopy.)

-Gee, that osprey robot is ugly.
-The escalate robot looks really good, he just needs better legs and feet.
-The buggy robot isn't complex enough for my taste. His legs are just blocks of kibble.

If the escalate robot gets better legs, i'll buy him. But the others...no.

But well, these are just prototypes i suppose. I hope they'll rework these.

That dune buggy looks to be the sweetest of the bunch in my book. I definitely can't wait to get a hold of one. It's probably better that they're coming out later rather than sooner; I've been spending quite a bit of dough on TFs recently what with the Classics line and the Movie line. ...and don't get me started on Ultimate Bumblebee. an awesome add to the collection, but a definite 'ouch' in the wallet.
