Abo-so-freakin-lutely!!! I'm shuddering at the idea of ever having to transform him back. And since I just got my Skywarp in the mail, it's back to the Japanese directions for round 2.


MP Starscream has lots of quality issues. It's not surprising he's falling apart.

Better get MP Skywarp. All those nasty quality issues are solved in this one.

Leader Brawl. It's impossible to get him into alt. mode. If you ever see a picture of one in his alt., it's a lie. It's just a tank toy that looks like Brawl.

I can't get his face plate down to do a battle mode! :-x

The only real problem I had with him was the front sides of the tank not staying put (the bits that unfold from the back of his legs). I soon realised though that you have to sorta clamp them down with the little moveable tabs on the front of the tank.

*opens mouth, quickly closes it*

-_-


Anyway, Leader Brawl is an asshole to those attempting to play with him - a true Decepticon.

However, most frustrating transformation? Transforming Titanium packaging from closed to open. Holy sh*t Hasbro.

I didn't expect Leader Brawl to have such problems. I thought Hasbro would have learned from Deluxe Brawl.

Dam.

My Leader Brawl will take a month to arrive yet.

Weapon: Switch Blade Tail
Brawl's not bad once you get him figured out. His biggest problem is the hand/forearm assembly. Once you figure out how to position it just right, those fender skirts and treads will line up and lock in place.

I've fully transformed him back and from both modes with no serious problems.

In case you're being serious and not joking (it's possible), there's no battle mask for any of the Bumblebee toys.

Classic Camaro Bumblebee? No battle mask.
Concept Camaro Bumblebee? No battle mask.
Ultimate Concept Camaro Bumblebee? No battle mask.

None of the figures were given one. It's an in-movie only item.

That's not to say Hasbro won't make one later on.
If you've seen any Deluxe Class figures with a battle mask, they were handmade by fans through a kitbash.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you needed to know the truth.

I've seen something which i can call "close" to a battle mask. Alternator Rodimus has this goggles that can be flipped down over his eyes.

Bumblebee definitely needs to go thru Binaltech or Masterpiece upgrade! And don't forget the battle mask!

I feel the same way. A Binaltech/Masterpiece rendition of Concept BB is the only way to maximize his potential.

battlemask shmattlemask, how about if they made it so the various parts could move to transform him without every single one getting in the way of two others? i've had TFs since i was old enough not to die from chewing them, heck probably before that, and am fairly competant at changing them (never even used to look at instructions) but I just spend 10-20 minutes "reversing the order of instructions to convert back into vehicle" and ~OMFG! Even once, I'd played about with it and managed to figure out all the bits the instructions omit or are unclear on, his right door wouldn't close. I messed about with the leg a bit more and now he's a vehicle at last. Hopefully it'll be easier to do the other way.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.
