I think Swoop is supposed to be shorter…
And just due to his Dino mode, he’s not as stout…
The character charts show this.
Obvsly the cartoon didn’t.

Again, I hope his figure is the same height as the others.
But there’s no way his limbs should be as bulky.
Imagine lower legs the size of Grimlock’s folding around on top of the dino mode…
Due to their depth, it would look ridiculous.
As I’m looking at Slag & Grimlock, the width of their lower legs is close to what Swoop’s could be.
I could see Swoop’s upper arms & upper legs being the same as the others.
But his shoulders, forearms, and the depth of his lower legs have to be smaller, at least by a little.
So IF he’s as tall as the others, will he look too lanky and lean??
Maybe.
But that’s why I’m saying if he’s just a smidge shorter (and I mean like half an inch) that would work.
And then of course, that allows more plastic to be put into his wings.
Hopefully like Sludge, he won’t include some worthless pack-in figure.

It would never happen, but if Swoop were to have a small figure accessory like with Grimlock and Slug, I'd want Swoop's to be Professor Morris.

I've got good news and bad news.

The Good News: Everything from this stream is going up for preorder on Pulse right now (alongside Kingdom Core Soundwave & Hot Rod), all that's missing at this point is the Legacy BW repaints (Kup and Scorponok weren't up when I started typing this and are there now).

The Bad News: The Selects Diaclone Ironhide was NOT $24.99 because the mold is more expensive than a regular Deluxe, but in fact because there appears to have been another price increase on everything, judging by the pricing on these new preorders.

EDIT: This is the first time Target exclusives have been put up on Pulse, right?

I preordered Sludge and Junkheap.

Same, for now, but I'm cancelling as soon as I see them on Amazon. Pulse apparently got rid of free shipping for orders over $50 for non-premium members, so I think my ordering from them might be nearing the end aside from Pulse only items. I don't buy enough from them to justify premium.

Amazon has Sludge for the the same price...
But the free shipping definitely helps!

I hope I find Buzzworthy Kup, Cliffjumper, and Sludge at Target. As of right now they're prices aren't as high, plus with a RedCard tax is almost completely covered.

To clarify a bit more, Kup and Cliffjumper from Pulse, and Sludge from Amazon total $121...
$121 for two deluxes and one leader...

All three from Target would be $99 at most.

I believe so.

It is, I am desperately hoping more Target exclusives come to Pulse. Those ones are really hard to get.
