I really dig Rumble too, fun lil guy. Can't wait for his blue buddy to show up. Super bummed we're not getting a Buzzsaw and can't wrap my head around Wingthing instead of that viscous yellow buzzard. As you know I'm about more cassette bots.


My lighting is **** and editing the photo seems to have made it worse

Hopefully we'll get a spy patrol unit 4 with Buzzsaw and some Ravage redeco. I'm hoping for that SG white Ravage instead of another Howlerback girl. I really don't care about the powermasters in the 3rd set. I wonder if they'd fetch a decent price on the secondary market

Love those hyper focused display cubes. Always cool to see so many takes on the same theme in one place.

You bet your Southern Bells, you'll be able to fetch a pretty penny for those Power Masters on the secondary market!!

When they work, they work well, but most of the time the space is just too restrictive.

I'm not a fan of breaking up sets, but I'm considering it.

They are very cool and better than expected. They would benefit from just a tad bit more articulation, but what can you do?


RIRFIB, haters going hate

"Cassette" mode is passable.



Shield get punched in the face mode is hilarious.



Speaking of, peekaboo!




Found a good use of some spare blast effects to make Rumble do what he does best.



You know what he says ... "First we crack the shell, then we crack the nuts inside."



Rumble and Ratbat are a cool set and look good with Soundwave.



I was hoping to store Rumble in Soundwave's chest, but I feel that Ravage makes a better chest filler. His deco just compliments SW so well.



Oh well, guess I'll have a lone Siege Rumble in the shrine until Frenzy shows up. I'm going to continue to display Siegewave with the TR Frumbles because I feel they scale better. Doesn't hurt that they also look good.



So is Frenzy just an exclusive set figure now? Also - GIMME A SIEGE BUZZSAW DAMMIT!

Agree on Buzzsaw. Where did you get TR Frenzy? Also: RIRFIB FOREVER BABY!

He was part of a Target exclusive for the Bee movie.



RIRFIB indeed

Rumble and Rampage, tearing it up!

Very nice! The scale seems to work actually!

How/why is your text upside down? Move to Australia or something?

I got Smashmouthdown the other day and it's a neat figure. Doesn't live up to the hype, but what ever does? I'm glad I got the ER version as I'm collecting the maps if I get the figures.

Smashdown is neat and made of some dense plastic that fits the nature of turning into a hammer. Hammer time is definitely their strong point. Bot mode is alright, better than Pteraxadon for sure, but is just weird in that "hey, I got a bull head for no reason" kinda way. Had a bit of that RiD2015 beast bot vibe, which I dig. The effect piece is pretty cool.

First things first, I got's to get that bad Smash Mouth reference taste out of my mouth and what better way then with something from Offspring's Smash album?



Smash that play button and enjoy some pics.

Let's talk about Smashdown's modes. Bot mode is pretty good, but articulation is pretty limited.



Transformation is way simple, but makes a really convincing hammer.



Remember that blast effect? Looky!


*SMASH*

Wait, wait, wait ... where are you going? I'm kidding.


Haters gonna hate

So, this is awkward...



I normally leave it off, but first I tried this.



Then I found this.



Then Smashdown, rocket fart jumped.



Then it was hammer time.



Or was it time to Wreck N' Rule?





That's cool and all, but I've had only one pairing in mind since I first saw the lil bull. Bulls on Parade!






yeah, I didn't feel like pulling the FE off the shelf

And lastly, what I've retcon'd into the Smashball Special.

If you have Soundwave, you can take his grey gun, fold it out completely, and attach it to Smashdown's handle to form a bigger handle. Works well for Ultra Magnus.

I do, but I'll have to pry it out of ER Starscream's hands. Thanks for the tip

Guess I'll just drop this here as well.

Peek-a-boo!!!

Almost as good as "peek-a-booby"!

But WAY better than...

Peekachew, will never beat peeking at boos.



I mean it's the only way to keep them from devouring your soul.

Very nice Smashdown pics!

Now I want to try Smashdown with Prime Cliffjumper, that really works!

Mess with the bull, you get the horns hammer...


warning, old person reference

I got that reference.

Cobotron wrote:I got that reference.

It's been a long time since I've seen the flick, who if anyone do you associate with?

Me? Ally Sheedy's character. She has the best memes/quotes.

Yes I had to google it, because I get the Molly Ringwald movies mixed up in my head.

Oh I totes relate to Molly's character.

What happened to my earlier post?
Also, the matrix/head in mouth joke has to be my favorite gag that I can pull off with the Preds.
