I originally wanted this set so Galvatronus could sport some funky fresh new threads, but then Grand Galvatron came, and I sighed with relief.
BUT LOOK AT THOSE DECOS! All that metallic paint! Motormaster looks AWESOME! They all look AHWZUMM!!!!!! :BANG_HEAD:

and I hate Dead End, but he looks SOOOOO AWSLUMPTH!!!!

Well....

Ow! My eyes! The goggles do nuh-ting! I love the G2 Stunticons!!! :APPLAUSE:

And on the Brawl thing, when I did the leg swap mod to take the pictures, he seemed to peg into tank/leg mode more securely. Then when I undid the mod, the pegging was easier too. *shrug*

Indeed, think they could've skipped the metallic paint, but they really should - and we deserved to - have had better painted details :BANG_HEAD:

Can you elaborate on the problem? Maybe we can help.
I transformed him from robot to tank in order to get him into leg mode. The last step of the transformation is to lock in the panels on his legs to the panels on his arms, and I just can't push them together to where they stay locked in. I followed the instructions to the step, and everything else is fine. I don't want to force it, but this way Bruticus's Brawl leg is longer than his Swindle leg and he looks awkward.

This may sound like a stupid question, but did you flip the rear of the tank/Brawl's feet back to reveal the second 5mm port at that end? He does a thing like Drag Strip, but backwards. Look at the bottom of Brawl in this picture (not mine), does yours match?

I love these G2 redeco, I think we should have a whole line like this...I wonder if G2 Alpha Bravo would look a little like G2 Slingshot. Also what about Black Jack in these pictures?

I really love the colors of G2 Menasor. Will it be some 150$ Walmart exclusive too? I'm kinda tempted to sell off my Takara Menasor to buy this one. :-?

So the issue with Brawl isn't an issue at all? (Don't have them yet) That's a relief!

I fixed my problem with Brawl. Turns out there's more than 1 way to transform a figure. Or I just missed a step and didn't realize it. As for the G2 Stunticons, at 1st I was passive about them, but after looking at those shots, I really want them. They look sharp! And yes, why no shots of Blackjack? His color is the same blue and purple as Motormaster's, IIRC.

These photos were taken for ebay listings where the seller is breaking up the set and selling them off individually, except for Blackjack, who he kept.

IIRC the g2 sets are only supposed to be around the $100 mark and so far the only store we know will carry them is toys r us since there was a computer listing.

He's asking about the canadian price.

And yes Kanrabat, he should be available at walmart for 150$ cdn, just like superion is currently. He will also be available at TRU for a similar price.

My goodness G2 Menasor is gorgeous. Who knows, it might even come out in the UK...though I doubt it.

Man them G2 Stuntipunks look great. Them colors are just crazy in an awesome way. I haven't had any interest until now. I kinda wanna trade up. :-?

If the seller kept lil blackJack then he must be good. I can't help but wonder if Defensor and Bruticus will get the same treatment.. and if deluxe groove would be part of that

I think G2 Menasor looks a bit stupid. I like G2 Superion's colors because they work, but Menasor's just makes him look like a clown act. :o)

To each his own. You're entitled t your opinion. I'm not a fan of the overall G1 version of the figure, but the colors on the G2 version are just so sharp. Better than G2 Superion.

I think the colors look AMAZING... buuuutt don't work on Menasor. I LOVE the metallic paint and am kinda sad they didn't put these pretty colors on a different set. I would've loved these sort of colors on a Galvatronus combiner. (If HasTak don't make Sweep limbs themselves I may do it myself for Primus' sake.) I mean look at Wildrider! He looks like he's wearing a yellow and blue jumper! :lol:
