Had a little luck at my local Target yesterday. Picked up Scrapmetal and Shatter. Scrapmetal is essentially everything I thought he’d be. Very cool looking bot mode. Lots of fun. The transformation is just a little lacking for my tastes, and the vehicle mode is fine. I do wish he had been a voyager. But given how cool he is in bot mode, and that I know he’ll be combining with his fellow Constructicons, I can overlook any very minor personal quibbles I might have.
I’m a little luke warm on Shatter. The sculpting and level of detail on her is fantastic, and I really dig the long legs. My main problems are that she’s kind of a pain to transform. Partly because her arms and the two side pieces of her hood pop right off if I so much as touch them. I’m also not a fan of her head sculpt. It just doesn’t look like her.
Much like Dropkick, I really do feel like him and her would have been better served if they had been Voyagers. Maybe ones a little on the small side, but Voyagers nonetheless. Whereas Dropkick was a disappointment all the way around, at least Shatter is heavily detailed and looks good.
Sadly I didn’t find Bonecrusher, Rampage, Bee movie OP, RotF OP, or the Target exclusive Megatron. There were a few Cogmans (Cogmen?), but seeing as how I absolutely loathe that character, I left them. I’m sure he’s a fun enough toy.
