It's not really just a lazy H-tank. It feels more involved and a rotating turret never hurt anyone (except ya'know, the poor guys in its way)

Just picked him up

I don't think any of the rid figures are worth $15; but I had $10 worth of giftcards, so

He is great, has a nice solidity to him, and his pseudo-ratchets in his arms are scary loud, and so are the ones in his shoulder pads. He has a ball-jointed neck! I admit, I didn't watch the articulation part of the video, so it was a nice surprise. But I somehow bought the only one with an unpainted chin, but this makes him look like he has a full helmet on, so

The tank mode is surprisingly large, he's definitely not a 'lazy H-Tank', and, best of all, he has a spinning turret, but he didn't sacrifice anything for it

I definitely recommend getting him


(but I must know what the butt cheek drills are used for in either mode?)

Ummm, I guess I will get him eventually then. Glad ot have your seal of approval guys!

He's pretty great, will canadian tru's get him? I assume since it's exclusive to tru. I would say get the version you like, but be wary that TT will likely release a 'leader version' but this one is great enough to warrant buying both

Great to hear screamer! I'm glad you approve!

So I noticed that the smoke stacks on thunderhoofs wrists mean that the arms swap places with the legs, with the legs forming the front of the tractor and the ankles forming part of the cabin, THAT is cool transforming, and way more effort than they ever had to put into the figure, I love him even more now

HS, I am interested! (it's a PM thang)

I was actually at TRU today hoping to find him. Glad you like him as I perceive you to be a fickle connoisseur ( oisseur ) of good TFs. If you like him, he must be good. I want to see him in the flesh because I can't decide if I like him with mask or without. The mask is awesomely evil looking.

I'm excited for all these new Cons coming down the pipe. Especially Thunderhoof. I wanna get two of him so I can do a John Deer custom job. Oh! Maybe that can be my next digi-bash.

Yeah my budget (which is already thin) is spent on cw combiners, so I've gotta be very fickle. He's pretty great with the helmet, I hated his actual face, so the helmet helps, plus, the tru version has more (?) paint apps. And the tank mode is so great, I think they could make both a good G1 megatron and war within The Fallen - assuming they were both heavily re-shelled.

That is really cool. Looks like his transformation will be very heavily involved

And addresses his strange shoulder design

I cannot wait for him and fracture to join megatronus

With us finally getting cons, I'm wondering whether or not I should go back and get Steeljaw. Plus I have the main autobots save Bee, Prime and Grimlock. Should I eventually get these guys? I'm not buying another combiner until January and Devy is a christmas gift, so I have time. Are they worth it? I was thinking of getting clash Prime, Warrior Grim and not sure which Warrior Bee. Any recommendations for these guys (feel free to say anything regarding Jazz too)

Man, D. They are all really good. My fav Bots are Drift, Jazz and Bee. Surprise! Bee? I know.
The G1y repaint on Grim is pretty cool. wish I had held out, but I like my Greenlock just fine.
All the clash guys were still on sale at my TRU today. Spend $30 get $5 off.

Warrior Grim looks great, and the figure seems solid, there is another bee coming out that was featured at ny toy fair, so you could check that out; otherwise, if you're able to and want to spend the money, TT is making an armored version of clash bee.

I'd buy that (maybe without the deere logo though) There seems to be a distinct lack of green figures (bright or otherwise) so it would be welcome.

Ok, that right there is cool!

I wasn't originally planning on getting the whole crew but I came to love them all and wasn't sure on toys. But the Clash Prime does look amazing with the black. Greenlock is appealing too. Jazz only showed up once, giving me the impression he is the next Wheeljack. May have to wait on him. But Prime, Bee and Grimlock, we'll see. That Nightstrike Bee looked really cool

Those wheels are pretty nasty and cheap looking though... I still say check into TT armored bee

He's right about those wheels, and that TT Bee does look sweet.
I forgot to mention Strongarm. I think she is great. So much so I thought she deserved a better paint job, so I gave her one.

I would, but he would need to be a fair price. I'm not too into spending large amounts on deluxes/warriors

I actually have her, Sideswipe (clash), Legion Fixit and Warrior Drift, and they are pretty great crew

I have to say, Megatronus has THE funniest vhs, you can just leave his head out and he can drive himself in vehicle mode

I'm really liking the deco on arctic o/p and drift; if their deco looks that decent in the retail release (drifts facial hair has to be painted), I would probably get them, I always liked the look of them.
