The Energon Pub

Upon Closer inspection of the Grill, I would have to say The Vehicle is a Ford. a Ford F250 I believe, He isn't that big to be a F350, and he is a little large then the F150 series. Sweet Character, I just don't like how he's a ford.

Yet again, another movie toy suffers from the 'nice-alt-smeggy-robot' problem. I'll have to pass.

I like!

That's one more movie figure to buy, in the ever growing selection I like! Total number: five in TOTAL

nice looking figure. It's too bad that all of the figures from the game look way better than their movie counter parts.

'If not, then this would be considered the first tow truck molded figure.'

What about HOIST?! What about Machine Wars? Hmm...

I admit it. I didn't think about Hoist. There was one for both G1 and Machine Wars.

The Database lists Landmine as a crane, which I agree with. It would be along the lines of Armada Smokescreen.

Now that I think about it, I agree with you on this one. For one thing, the vehicle mode is too current. If Kup were willing to be reformatted, I'd think he'd still take an alt mode that would (at least by human standards) be considered old. Like maybe a really old Ford pickup. For another thing, this figure's a tow truck. I was thinking before just retool the head to resemble G1 Kup, but you'd want to remove the crane piece too. It'd be better to give Kup his own mold if a new figure was to be made for him.

My boss tossed me Dropkick and Payload last week. Really interesting transformations. It's nice to see movie drones that don't suck. Nice Alt and Bot modes, decent articulation and just cool all around. You'll dig Dropkick for sure.

That's what I was figuring out from the pics and tech drawings. Why don't you review them?

I'd love to, but my job is uber demanding at the moment. I haven't even posted news in oh, maybe two months. Beleave me, if I had the time, I'd give it a whirl.

He does look more Decepticon than Autobot, and he is a member of Orsin's fleet...

:-?

...could it be SideWays sent for some backup?

Holy cats he looks like a bad a$$. Betting I'll be getting this one.

Pass.

Though I do like his head mold.

by **Predaprince** » Fri Jun 22, 2007 9:41 am

Not bad.
