I really like this guy....and I really like his Dino like feet!

I just opened him and he rocks!! It's hard to explain...he has a lot of parts hanging off of his upper body, but they are able to be configured to make him look badass, and nothing really gets in the way. The legs do have a mecha-raptor thing going, and are really cool.

The claw weapon is silly, but it does give the already awesome pickup mode a second configuration, so I still consider it a bonus that I just won't use much. Built in weapons in the hands, broad shoulders, thin waist, good articulation, excellent headsculpt, and a sweet alt-mode make him a must-own.

I hope that they repaint him into an Autobot with a good solid paint scheme. I think that I would have rather have this mold be Ironhide than the Voyager version, just replace the claw-weapon with a blaster.

I agree 100% with everything you just said...one thing I do wish they were somewhere to store the bed/claw in robot mode....other then his hand..

and now that you mention it he could really work as a Ironhide...I would buy a repaint of this one...would like a new head if he is going to be an autobot...

Well, tfpredaking and I both noticed something today that we didn't know(and most of you will probably laugh at us.) on the back of the bubble for the alternators, there is a number. for instance Lefty.. I mean Skids, is #17. predaking has a friend looking for Alts 23 and 25 which we believe are Camshaft and Rumble. If anyone has an extra of those, please let tfpredaking know the price and he'll run it by his friend. Also, if we're off on the numbers, let us know.

well, okay.. Rumble is 24. That should make Ravage 25? Ryan's gallery is the UK version and there is no number on the box.

Ok I dont remember where I posted this but check it out...I think it will help....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformers:_Alternators

#23 Autobot Camshaft - Acura RSX

#24 is Nemesis Prime - Dodge Ram SRT-10 (SDCC 2006/Hasbro Toy Shop exclusive) (Labeled No. 24 on the box)

#25 is Decepticon Rumble - Honda Civic Si (Labeled No. 24 on the box) (Wal-Mart exclusive)

also found this.....The number 24

This is why we are having problems figuring out which is which. Ryan's gallery has Rumble as 24???

Rumble is 24...well thats what the box says...The way I see it is someone messed up when numbering due to the fact that Nemesis Prime was a SDCC Exclusive...and Rumble was a WalMart Exclusive...

Thats my guess

also this makes for some great trivia

didnt we deal with the alts numbering once before? its confusing as f@#k.

News Credits: 1082 · by **Tigertrack** » Sat Aug 25, 2007 4:41 pm

Finally picked up Ultimate Bumblebee, and Leader Brawl today. UBB is pretty cool, about what I expected, but I could see a kid having a lot of fun with it, if a parent helps with the transforming.

Haven't opened Brawl yet. Stop bragging about finding those stinkin' deluxes... :sad:

Thanks bud. Here is the picture I took. I also found some new candy stuff at Target, I'll toss that picture in too.

Man I forgot about that candy gift pack I saw those a few weeks back when you couldnt find a damn deluxe to save your life....make a good bday gift...for someone...who is going to be having a bday...about 5 days or so before the next toy show...

Man, both me and RC13 saw these things over a week ago, the legends six packs I mean!! Neither of us realized they were anything new/exciting. I don't have a cell phone at all and don't carry around a camera and RC13 says he just flat out didn't care about them when he saw them in Nebraska. Oh-well, lesson learned, take pictures of everything so maybe someday you'll be front paged and credited

It's pretty easy for you guys to get the attention of a member of the news crew. I'm here all the time, and some of youPM me, and even have my e-mail and/or phone number.

:-?

God, leader class Brawl bugs the crap outta' me. Trying to get the front parts to hitch up together just S-U-C-K-S. And the head doesn't stay down, and while your trying get the **** to stick together, it's constantly making the shooting and boooming sounds. Grrr....

yeah if megs is any indication, the leader class make cool looking robots, but transforming them is a pain.

Went out to visit folks in Port Huron yesterday, stopped at the Flint Target (couple of shelfwarmer Dreadwings), Fort Gratiot Target (nothing), and Roseville Target, Kohls, Walmart, TRU (nothing). I think I saw some more Dreadwings at the Roseville Target as well, but I'm not sure...
I was with my wife and mom so I didn't get a whole lot of time to spend lookin for TF's.

South Lansing Target had G1 SS's, but nothing else, no deluxes anywhere I could tell.

WOW! my aparment is somewhat clean :grin:

nothing new to report. nothing more new at the carpenter road target as of last night. didn't get a chance to go anywhere else. I'm about to start in on my toyroom. I'm going to ditch a lot of boxes(mainly titanium, classics boxes and some DC Direct boxes) I'm running out of room for the cool boxes I actually want to keep :grin:

it looks like I have to go to ireland again. :-x

Finally found Longarm, Payload, and recon Barricade. Oddly enough there was no 08 BB, and no Dropkick.

They also had 8 G1 Starscreams, 2 leader Brawls, and 2 G1 Jazz deco...

Target in Livonia/Northville between 7 and 8 mile on Haggerty.
