I think he has a big eye, like a lens.


Would it have been to much to ask to take a pic of the back of Bonecrusher's pacakge? I hope whoever wins the auction will get some pics soon, because whoever won the Jazz auction from like 3 months ago never posted pics of the figure, we still don't really know what the real-life Jazz deluxe toy looks like.

And I HOPE that the Bonecrusher toy's bot mode has those spikes on his shoulders, cuz by the looks of the toy now, I don't know if that big rake-thing at the front can spilt into two... if it stays in one piece in bot mode, it'll ruin the figure for me.

Bonecrusher is only a definite buy with the shoulder blades in bot mode.

Wow, Swindle. Didn't see that coming.

can one of these damn bayformers be even remotely decent looking? man they're so horrible it's a joke. one after the other, it never ends. i won't even mention the faces....they speak for themselves. UGGH!

Hmm. Maple Heights....That's 20 minutes from here...Anyone wanna give me some gas money?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA. I laugh at you.

another non-movie character.

As others pointed out in the game thread. Swindle appears to be a character that shows up in the official game. So while he's not a movie character he does indeed make an appearance in one form of it.

You know, for toys that are apparently out already/coming out soon, why in the world would people pay $40 for a $10 figure???

There are people out there and I'm one of them that will pay that price just to be the first to have it...

Just be thankful that you ony pay $10...I have to pay $24 (AUS dollars, duh)...that's the standard at Big W I'm afraid. Here's the normal price listing at Big W for TF's:

Scout/Basic: $16-18
Deluxe: $24
Voyager: $45
Ultra: Er...haven't bought one in a while.
Leader: $88 last time I checked.
Supreme: Something ridiculous, I'm sure.

Oh, and:

I agree with you. I see someone winge, I laugh.

Oooh, before I forget! I am dropping Barricade from my list (he's too top-heavy anyways)to make room for Swindle...But first I must see his bot mode.

Yeah, we get jipped considering $10USD is like... $15AUD. With GST, I could see $18MAX. Not the $28 Myers charges.

Eh, I am buying the movie figures to relative scale, so I got alot a money to save for 3 Leaders.

Swindle looks like Shockwave? I think they're avoiding the alien look to a no face? I'm sorry I can never get excited to buy these, I won't buy any movie figures expect for Prime and Wreckage. To each their own, but I can't help to hate this movie toyline so much, but I hope to feel different after I see the movie.

Can't wait till they come out.

"Swindle" is also the frame used for the drones used in the pre-movie comics.

I really like the look of the toys, but I'll wait until there on store shelves.

I assumed the red one in the comic was Swindle. I didn't see any indication that they were drones, just similar in appearance.

You're totally right. I was going of off memory. After looking at the first comic, he was the one doinng the torture.

I wonder how long it will be until we see the one that looked like A-Thrust?

Good question.

I think the one you're talking about is the Dreadwing that's been listed as a Deluxe as well. If I read some of the stuff on the 2005 boards correctly, there is one other drone from the prequels (hell if I know its name - gonna need those comics now!) that will make an appearance as a deluxe figure as well. Probably that "tow truck" listing.

Good point. I think it will be a solid figure. Even if it's claw hands as opposed to jet hands like A-thrust.

Hah! I've been caught up in wanting 'em a time or two. Almost bought a Ratchet and Ironhide...but I kept telling myself no.

...still doing that. lol ..trying.

I can't put my finger on it, mabey it's just the red paint job but that swindle kinda reminds me of armada swindle.
