That Guzzle figure is really cool, pretty happy with mine. For what it is the Optimus is pretty nicely done as well. Nice pics for the galleries as well, amazes me how well you guys always do with the photography

Aw, no pics of Hatchet with Deluxe Crankcase? They look really good together.

The Cyberverse Dreads are some of my favorite figures from the DotM line (though Crankcase could really do with some extra paint). A shame two of them don't have mainline counterparts and the third has that obnoxious finger issue.

Fun fact: Hatchet is in perfect scale with HftD Terradive (1/148 scale).

Honesty time. Raise your hand if you bought guzzle for the classics shelf

There's no you guys, it's all Ryan (Seibertron - singular).

I did, but have been told he is too movie-ish for my Neo-G1 shelf.

I did because he looks almost identical to his appearance in last stand of the wreckers. Particularly the turret that extends to nearly double his hight

There are people who complain that Bludgeon is too movie-ish to fit in with Classics.
Guzzle just looks too movie-ish due to the placement of the hollow parts to save on plastic, they let him look like he's super detailed, plus the head which is very movie.

I'll be getting him soon, there's one near me, but I want to check on a different store first that has the Commander class for a more decent price.

Guzzle is a great figure and is one of the few DOTM figures i paid full price for. Alt modes good robot modes good paint is good very happy with him. Picked up hatchet after a friend of mine wouldnt shut up about how great he is and i will admit he was right. both modes look good, transformation is good and the coloring & paint apps are good. Only thing that needs work are the back legs, they're a bit stumpy and really need a knee joint. After seeing the gallery i think i might pick up dark sentinel to replace my crappy original one, dark actually has paint apps and they look great. Im sure the plastic still sucks but at least itll be a better display piece than the first one. If theres a buy 1 get 1 50% maybe ill pick one up. Optimus ill pass on, weaapons look cool but every thing else is just minimalistic. Ill stick with the preview prime and the one with the trailer.

Battle Steel Optimus has the cannons and the swords though. Oh man those cannons are pimp!! Tacked onto the sides of the trailer they give off a Powermaster vibe.

Kinda sucks how they've made Cyberverse Optimus Barbie-esque in terms of needing to buy a new one every time just to get some small detail like weapons or a black jetpack, but I'll do it any way just to arm Prime to the 9's.

Nice galleries as usual. Guzzle is a great figure, but I have a question about his gallery:

Why isn't there a pic of his missle launcher flipped up in vehicle mode?



While it's not necessarily wrong, it does look a little awkward, and it doesn't sit straight on the top.

Also, about Target Bumblebee, it looks like (and the TF Wiki confirms) Hasbro reused the mold for Machine Wars Mirage/Prowl's gun. Cool!

Actually, now that I have it in hand, yea it looks more movie-ish than I thought at first.
