Other than the tracks on the arm i think the end result has turned out pretty good

Yeah, that's a little pricy.

I came about as close as I ever have to dropping the f-bomb on this site. I am really amazed at the engineering to produce such an awesome looking, and sized, alt mode and have such an awesomely sized bot mode. Well done, BadCube! :APPLAUSE:

I am all over this guy, brawny and backland rock and I am very impressed with them. So this guy will have a spot on my shelf

BBTS has the pre-order up too...

$119.99

A little pricey for me, but I like it!

looks fantastic, but it's the same price as Hexatron. that just does not compute.

Don't like that this is a Ultra class tank that shrinks down to a Six inch Deluxe class robot. Just seems odd that they'd do something like this. Think $119 seems a bit high for this toy.

Might have been interested in this if the robot and tank mode were the same scale.

But....they are intended to scale in the MP line. Tank scales with the tractor trailer of Optimus. Bot scales with the other minibots. The scales are pretty consistent with this dude.

And I admire the engineering to pull the size differences off but remain in scale!

It looks good but I bet transforming that thing is a nightmare.

Same height as the cars? I'm not a fan...

Don't be silly. Unless he can look down on Gen Metroplex what is the point of buying him?

While I don't normally like KO's, I'm kinda hoping that this one gets an undersized KO that his a head smaller than the car bots so he scales properly. It would serve BC right for making him so oversized [-(

I can't even describe how happy your recent string of cat memes has made me.

No tanks, Wardog has too much vehicle kibble hanging off the robot mode. On almost all of the parts of the robot mode. This kibble master toy reminds me of Beast Wars Transmetals II Megatron.

It's the tanks' skid plate (underbelly) so you don't *need* to use it but it will tidy up the alt mode.

What? It's an optional part you can stick on the bottom of the tank mode, which isn't necessary at all. If you look at all the previous pics you can see how the bottom of the tank is the folded up panels of the bot, this part here allows those to be covered for those who hate visible bot parts on the bottom of their alt-modes.

The new shield is a bit stupid, but does give him a pretty cool look. I kinda want to see him in a sinister dark colour scheme with weathering. That way I could justify getting him since then he wouldn't be a 3rd Party MP, but a badass tank mecha, and if I get one of those it needs a badass deco. Maybe something based on a Go-Bot?

Man, just imagine how badass he would look with a giant minigun!
