Considering the homage, I don't mind the size at all! This guy is totally leading my knockoff Insecticon army.

Note that the bio is also somewhat reminiscent of the G1 Insecticons (at least in the animated continuity), as they were pretty much cut off from the rest of the Decepticons and isolated in Earth's woodland areas.

Now I need to order some Energon cubes so Jungle Bonecrusher will have something to eat when he arrives.

I think it looks good myself, a far cry better then the first release anyway.

by **Condan1993** » Sat Nov 10, 2007 3:54 pm

good but it would be better if the copper was dark purple but still this is an amzing fig, is that a bit of mrefrence to his head (it looks cut off) or is that just figre crapness?

whoa, that looks sweet! I already have the original, and now I'm gonna get this one! But I still wish he was Voyager class...

I agree 100%. He does look a lot like Energon Insecticon.

I'm really on the fence about this figure, seeing as I have the first deco of Bonecrusher.

well, here it is, another set of non movie repaints.. I must say Stockade is nice, but I'm gonna be hard pressed to want to pick all of them up.. I'm just not that enthused about these repaints.. it's a bit much.. I think i'm gonna stick to my original plan, which is to get the Premium figures repaints instead of these lesser characters.. you just won't see me getting all worked into a frenzy over them like so many here.. and that's fine if you guys go nutso over them...

they're just not my cup O' Tea...

I'll pass...

I was thinking that it was surprising they didn't try to sell him as "Scavenger" or name him "Landmine" instead of the buggy, but now I realize why. Except for Blackout, every character that appeared in the movie now has at least two iterations in the main toy-line. To most of us, that's a bad thing, but to a lot of kids it will be greatly appreciated.

When the first waves of Beast Wars came out, I didn't have much cash (I was in 6th grade!). As a result, I missed out on Tarantulas and Cheetor. Thankfully though, they were rereleased as Transmetals, so I was eventually able to grab the show characters I'd missed out on.

Same logic here. By the time these are released, the originals won't be on the shelf anymore, so if a kid wanted a Bonecrusher toy and missed out, now he gets a second chance. May not be the paint scheme from the movie, but a lot of kids would overlook that for the name and altmode of the original character.

by **Bumblebee-otch** » Sat Nov 10, 2007 8:09 pm

*shh* That's not true. He and Santa are tight. It's the only thing Bonecrusher doesn't hate.

...but you didn't hear that from m...*WHAM*

...urgl...

i had a fealing he would have bad colors didnt think it would be that bad

by **Quaternion** » Sat Nov 10, 2007 9:44 pm

meh. I was hoping he'd be colored more like brawl. I'll stick with the one I already have.

by **Grahf** » Sat Nov 10, 2007 9:47 pm

I still would have prefered the g1 green and purple. One of the main things bothering me about this line is the allspark blue highlights. It would be one thing if it were part of the color scheam, but it just seems random.

by **Deceptiwho?** » Sat Nov 10, 2007 9:50 pm

Dammmit its still a deluxe!! looks pretty cool though... U guys get the ideat that this all spark power stuff is somehow tied into the script for tf2??

Eh, I see it more as Hasbro creating their own tangential stories to justify repainting several existing figures and releasing some new figures of characters who played no role in a movie released 6 months prior to this new line. They have to put SOMETHING on the back of packaging to account for the different color, after all.

Furthermore, I would be HIGHLY surprised to see Brawl, Bonecrusher, and even Jazz in the sequel; if they did appear, it would be really weak and make you wonder why the Transformers even fight since they are bound to come back to life anyway.

They don't fight to save or end their own lives -- they fight for ours!

And to reiterate, I freaking love the Barrage homage (rhymey!!!). With the insectoid look of many of the movie TFs, I hope we get more deluxe Insecticon recolors. I would've been pleased with green and purple, but I think I like this even better.
