Is that his head or did his neck throw up ???

Not bad. I will buy this one and his brother.
I will only buy some Transformers from this movie, probably only the ones that are in the same scale and not the same Transformers from the first one like Optimus, Iron Hide and Ratchet.

We need Platinum chains obviously. Otherwise the effect would be ruined by clashing colors 8-}

O.K. Firebird, You find me a little, sleveless black leather jacket for Grindcore or my TFA Soundwave and I'll supply the chain and at least 2 watches that would be perfect for hanging around his neck and go well with the chain. And all of it has the platium look for swapping out with the cronoformer later. Very classy, very hip looking watches.

So has anyone heard how long they are going to make us wait for pics. of Mudflaps bio? I would have thought they would have released the info of the brothers at the same time. And here's hoping that Jolt comes out soon to somewhat redeem our faith in the Autobots ranks.

Sounds like a plan T-Macksimus! ;)^

On the topic of Jolt however, I'm also very excited for his bio and animation model. Between the whip action and the tires that magically become his thighs in robot mode on the FAB, it seems like a promising design. I really want to see how the deluxe toy looks.

I like it but there is something about the toy that I don't like, but I can't quite make out. :-?

I've got it, it's his feet. :lol:

I thought he had the ugliest head mold of all the ROTF toys but then I remembered Mudflaps face. Skidz is probably the handsome one of the two.

I am staying open minded. I remember many people were upset to hear that Bumblebee couldn't talk in the first TF but it worked in the movie. And given the serious tone of the movie I am sure these two arent gonna be doing retarded fart humor during a battle in which the fate of the world is at stake. You have to keep in mind that they are both SOLDIERS. I mean you can't have every character being the super serious bad ass. Besides, goofy characters were present even in the G1 cartoon. Look at Grimlock for example. He had the mentality of a 4 year old, was a complete clutz and spoke like a toddler. All of the dinobots did. But they were still some of my favorites. You all must be patient and at least give these two the benifit of doubt.

That is actually an insult to jarjar.

The more I see these head designs, the more they bother me. Even if they turn out to be the goofy characters in the movie, that doesn't mean they have to look malformed. Hopefully there is a reason for the way they look, but I doubt there is.

I second that. Even JarJar looked better than these two, at least the heads. If they just did a head resculpt, the figs wouldn't be that bad. But what the heck were the designers ON when they designed those heads?!?! Seriously, fail!!
