Playing around with my Studio Series Devastator (minus Overload) decided to combine what I had and transform Long Haul and Rampage into leg modes. Being alittle funny I was able to prop him up on the legs. Pretty funky and dwarf looking!

. Dug out the original Devastator from the movie to pose with the new one. Looking forward to a finalized photo of both together.

My Scrapper was delayed again, ugh.

I am ready to have the new SS Devy beside the original, I want that big guy!

Still want to get the little legion one too so I can have all 3 of him

That definitely sucks, having to wait on something to arrive. Since I bought mine a week or so back, Ive only seen him only one other time in the store.
I don’t have the Legion size Devastator but i do have the Burger King meal version that came out. Lol.

Revenge of The Fallen Optimus is a great mold,but when displaying it,I feel like you need some voyagers or other leaders class toys around him,otherwise it can feel like he commands a army of little dudes.

The Movie Leader Class toys outside of the Studio Series are more like standalone centerpieces now, and RotF Leader Optimus Prime is definitely one of the best looking out there, once you get over the transformation of the arms and (dis)connecting the chest pieces. No wonder it was re-released up the wazoo to the point of mold degradation :lol:

Leader Class Brawl is one of my personal favs:

Transformers (2007) Brawl Gallery

Chunky? Yes. Limited articulation? Maybe. His transformation is well thought-out however, and he just looks beefy and strong.

Hey, with the exception of Bumblebee (seriously, up HasTak's collective hinies for making a Leader-class toy of freaking Bumblebee instead of Megatron) they go well with at least the 2007 through HFTD Deluxes, and some of the DOTM ones. But yeah, having a Voyager Ratchet or Ironhide around does help.

Yeah, the Leader-class Brawl mold is awesome. I have one, and I want to get the desert-colors Allspark version as well plus at least one more to customize.

1) I still regret not getting a Striker Optimus Prime, from that first picture. I want the stealth force Prime!

2) I regret not getting leader Brawl, it has always looked so good.

3) I'm watching for a Leader Bumblebee for the stealth force stuff too. I love how the car mode looks with that weapons pack

I was lucky and found Leader Brawl in a thrift store. With both arm weapon modules.

Deep Desert Brawl was actually my first leader class figure, and it's still really good. He's huge and armed to the teeth and all kinds of fun.

9 years later, it's so cool finally having accurate figures of these guys. It wasn't that long ago that I was looking at the TTC Sentinel I had just got and thought "Man, I really hope we get a new Sentinel figure". Well, here we are!

2 older movie toys, both with some joy. Bumblebee's leg transformation is really fun, and looks a lot better with his shoulder cannons.

And then there is Recon Ironhide, who is probably the most badass Ironhide ever made of ANY Ironhide. I love this toy a ton

Now that I have him, I think the Leader Brawl figure almost makes a good standin for the MPM until we get him. He is massive and bulky and cool!

by **ZeldaTheSwordsman** » Mon Jun 01, 2020 11:48 pm

Brawl is probably the best of the 2007 Leader-class molds. I count myself lucky to have picked him up at a thrift store.

Friends that I got him off of asked only $10, could not possibly say no to that.

May I say I consider the Movie Advance Dispensor toy very creative and clever in execution... Despite me not liking Mountain Dew?

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Sat Jun 13, 2020 10:05 pm

Pretty sure you can, I am so happy to have him, he is really cool!

News Credits: 22 · by **Rodimus Prime** » Sat Jun 13, 2020 10:08 pm

So he's not an actual vending machine?

No, he's a delivery truck, but the top is painted like a vending machine

He's both, just put him on his back for vending machine mode, optionally with pieces to hide the sides and front. He's kinda like the Ride Vendor from Kamen Rider OOO.

I consider Movie Advance Dispensor to be an upgrade bod.

Battle Blade Bumblebee continues to delight.

I wish 3P would do the Decepticon mooks from the ROTF game, ideally as kits to save cost.

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Sun Jun 21, 2020 9:06 pm

2 things:

1) I cannot believe Dispensor is a real toy that exists, and even more unbelievably I own him and he's cool.

2) Hailstorm might be my new favorite non-movie con toy. It is fantastic!

I took a bruiser to work today. I love the Allspark power figures. Nightwatch Prime remains my favorite figure ever, and this guy is a great addition to the ranks. The alt mode is so big and so tight, I love it! The only bad thing about it is the lack of movement in the biceps and thighs

by **ZeldaTheSwordsman** » Mon Jun 22, 2020 7:47 pm

Yeah, Stockade is pretty awesome.

Have been messing around with Dark Of The Moon Starscream again.Who new this mold would inspire the Studio Series version?I honestly can see a litte bit of this mold in the Masterpiece version.

"So Bumblebee,how does one get a solo movie for himself?"
