Scalpel is kinda cute. Still not getting them though.

Scalpel is an evil Wall-E!

A microscope that turns into a demonic battlebot?

Definitely getting that.

Plus, being a scout-class figure, you might actually be able to have other TFs 'use' him.

Dunerunner looks nice, but he'd be strange in a collection with Landmine. Wish they had just repainted LM instead.

My God! What did they do to Perceptor. His alt mode reminds me of something else. Like robots from a horror movie, or those Replicators from Stargate. But I can't pin down which one.

Scalpel looks cool ad I'll applaud the new design. To bad I just don't care for either of them.

Wed Apr 01, 2009 12:13 pm

Ugh.

The best thing about Scalpel? The name.

What all it is is name retention by Hasbro. Hell I wouldn't have put it past them to call it "Mindbender"

I'll have to look at these in person before I decide how I fell about getting these scouts. :-?

News Credits: 1 · Wed Apr 01, 2009 12:31 pm

I like scout class figures.

Bring 'em on!

I'm just glad to see it isn't just a miniaturized Landmine fig...it's a new mold altogether.

Scalpel is my kinda bot! Love it!

I know they seem to be going for "package in bot mode" this time around, but I really think Scalpel would look far more appealing packaged in alt mode.

Wed Apr 01, 2009 1:00 pm

so why isnt dunerunner hound?

seriously, why is that?

scalpel...I'm on the fence. I still want to see more humanoid bots and cons, but ill see how it looks when it goes on youtube.

So wall-e and jonny 5 have a baby it rebels and joins the decepticons........yeah that thing is fugly. Like the concept but hate the execution. Dune Runners cool though. These are scout right? If thats the case Scaple might have been worth buying as a deluxe or voyager just for the alt mode.

News Credits: 12 · Wed Apr 01, 2009 1:43 pm

Scalpel looks crappy in the package, in that photo at least, but based on the artwork on the back it looks like cool toy and one that I'll buy. It reminds me of The Mysterians.

Dune Runner maybe...Scalpel hell n0--I hate the bug eyes!!! I'll save that one for the kiddies.

I was thinking this myself. Minicon, and Cobra Evil Doctor... Names just seem odd.

Will definitely get Dune Runner. Love Basic cars, they go so well with the Diaclones.

Scalpel remind me why I'm buying less TF's in the last 2 years. Between, Animated, Robot heroes, Star Wars and the Movie, I'm not liking the drift from the traditioanl TF head. Especially this thing, reminds me of the awful Mini-cons.

Wed Apr 01, 2009 2:24 pm

So Scalpel is a bug. Meh. Blargh.

Dunerunner, though... if a line (G1) can have Hound, Roadbuster, and Swindle, then I can have both Dunerunner and Landmine.

LOL! Yeah he is.

Sad to say, but I won't be purchasing either of these though. So far this line is a bigger fail than the last one, but I'm sure there's more to be revealed. My list of wants is still only 2.
