I think he has a big eye, like a lens.

Would it have been to much to ask to take a pic of the back of Bonecrusher's pacakge? I hope whoever wins the auction will get some pics soon, because whoever won the Jazz auction from like 3 months ago never posted pics of the figure, we still don't really know what the real-life Jazz deluxe toy looks like.

And I HOPE that the Bonecrusher toy's bot mode has those spikes on his shoulders, cuz by the looks of the toy now, I don't know if that big rake-thing at the front can spilt into two... if it stays in one piece in bot mode, it'll ruin the figure for me.

Bonecrusher is only a definite buy with the shoulder blades in bot mode.

another non-movie character.

As others pointed out in the game thread. Swindle appears to be a character that shows up in the official game. So while he's not a movie character he does indeed make an appearance in one form of it.

You know, for toys that are apparently out already/coming out soon, why in the world would people pay $40 for a $10 figure???

Just be thankful that you ony pay $10...I have to pay $24 (AUS dollars, duh)...that's the standard at Big W I'm afraid. Here's the normal price listing at Big W for TF's:

Scout/Basic: $16-18
Deluxe: $24
Voyager: $45
Ultra: Er...haven't bought one in a while.
Leader: $88 last time I checked.
Supreme: Something ridiculous, I'm sure.

Oh, and:

I agree with you. I see someone winge, I laugh.

Oooh, before I forget! I am dropping Barricade from my list (he's too top-heavy anyways)to make room for Swindle...But first I must see his bot mode.

Yeah, we get jipped considering $10USD is like... $15AUD. With GST, I could see $18MAX. Not the $28 Myers charges.

Eh, I am buying the movie figures to relative scale, so I got alot a money to save for 3 Leaders.

Swindle looks like Shockwave? I think they're avoiding the alien look to a no face? I'm sorry I can never get excited to buy these, I won't buy any movie figures expect for Prime and Wreckage. To each their own, but I can't help to hate this movie toyline so much, but I hope to feel different after I see the movie.

Can't wait till they come out.

"Swindle" is also the frame used for the drones used in the pre-movie comics.

I really like the look of the toys, but I'll wait until there on store shelves.

I assumed the red one in the comic was Swindle. I didn't see any indication that they were drones, just similar in appearance.

You're totally right. I was going of off memory. After looking at the first comic, he was the one doinng the torture.

I wonder how long it will be until we see the one that looked like A-Thrust?

Good question.

I think the one you're talking about is the Dreadwing that's been listed as a Deluxe as well. If I read some of the stuff on the 2005 boards correctly, there is one other drone from the prequels (hell if I know its name - gonna need those comics now!) that will make an appearance as a deluxe figure as well. Probably that "tow truck" listing.

Good point. I think it will be a solid figure. Even if it's claw hands as opposed to jet hands like A-thrust.
