Weapon: Switch Blade Tail
Bonecrusher is made of win, damnit.

Swindle is indeed pure ass (as mentioned earlier).

In fact, he actually sucks so much that it hurts to look at him.

Holy crap Bonecrusher kicks ass! :shock:

Seriously. The toy is suprisingly faithful to the movie design, much better than I expected. And they kept the shoulder spikes, which were an absolute MUST for me. Only wish he was bigger...

Swindle looks awful though. As a drone I guess he's okay, but not worthy of the name "Swindle"

Bonecrusher looks pretty ok. I'm not 100% sold on the movie-bot aesthetic just yet, but he'll probably find a home on my shelf.

The only thing I like about Swindle is "Intelligence: 1, Skill: 3, Fireblast: 9", which makes me think he's fired that ugly chest cannon at least once before remembering to extend it, and blown himself to bits in the process. Hope it works like that in the videogame.

I can understand altering the appearances of the bots to a significant extent to appease the crowds at the cinemas, but do they really have to alter their personalities to such a significant extent?

Swindle is a war profiteer with ulterior motives, not a brainless lackey.

Probably something to do with the fights in game. Since they seem to be drones, maybe that's there power core or something.

Eh, could be worse, but certainly not the best. I can't believe that they picture Scorponok in his "bot mode" on the packagng to try to sell him. Not gonna work, at least for me.

Going by the tech spec it sounds like that's just the source of their decently powerful but poorly aimed ranged attacks in the game. One of those game enemies that will only kill you if you're unlucky or thunderingly incompetent.

Actually, it's a Game design, as Swindle is not in the movie.

Different brush, same tar/**** mixture.

QFT, homelessjunkeon. And by 'movie design,' I meant 'design inspired/in the same style as the characters of the movie,' AKA 'Bayformers.' Sorry if you misunderstood me.

Car reminds me of Armada Sideswipe, robot looks like Armada Laserbeak's head stacked on top of a mech built on Junkion.

My vote for the HOF goes to my favorite Transformer, Kup, to the Headmasters (who still need new figures that aren't just the characters without their master components) and to seibertron.com for for being the ultimate TF resource.

Ok, I was concerned at the beginning that Bonecrusher was gonna suckass, but after i have seen him in recent movie shots, and his toy.. I am now totally a fan of him. considering he's been in the g-1 line as a constructicon, and a buffalo in beast wars.. its not bad..he's historic as a character and not a new one made up just for the movie..

I agree with all earlier posts, he should have been done in Leader class, in fact the majority of the Decepticons and Autobots should have been done in Leader class..just the main guys Optimus And Megatron are done, which I suppose is why they call it Leader class and not just for size, but it shows that in Leader class there is more attention to detail in the moldings, the bots are sturdier and the colors and paint applications look better..

So I am disappointed in the way Bonecrusher was produced, simply because he will never be made into Leader class, and there by i cannot pose him correctly with optimus Prime as they battle on the freeway in the movie..and i simply refuse to Purchase Voyager Prime.. I hate super soaker guns and the cheap plastic coloring..

As far as Swindle, meh.... he's ok I guess, he looks better in the in game screens then he does in toy form.. but what a surprise there, i mean these are Hasbro releases and not from Japan..

Curse you Alternators and Masterpiece toy lines!!! Doth hath Spoiled me for the cheaper lines from Hasbnro!!!


Bottom line of what I think???


MAKE BONECRUSHER, BUMBLEBEE, STARSCREAM, BLACKOUT, BARRICADE (WITHOUT FRENZY) IRONHIDE, IN LEADER CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :PRAY:


Whew anyone notice how many robots are named with "B" I bet its for in honor of the name "Bay" what a joke...
