Also why does this mold seem to have the shoulderpads transformed differently in each picture I see? A lot of them have them unfolded and pointing up, some have them pointing up but using the joints to push them down and back a bit and I've been having them folded over the front of the shoulders and angled slightly inwards. I'm confused as to what the official one is so just went with the one that looked best to me. Sometimes the torso and head area is transformed a bit weirdly too and photos of that put me off the figure at first til i saw better ones and got the figure myself and now I'm a big fan of it (though wish the wheels on the legs folded in). Sometimes see the black bit on the back where the star things attach often configured differently too.

Maybe I'll pick up a couple of these at the lower price. Unfortunately these are the only Transformers that got a Rollback.

Ah, sorry, got my waves mixed up. I thought the Bee movie stuff started with wave 4. I'm really just half paying attention to SS since they're rarely in stock anywhere here.

So just to confirm, all you saw was wave 3?
Confirmed here as well via the Walmart app. Some of the stores for some of the figures show the exact same price, but only the ones reporting as in stock in store (online prices remain at MSRP).Nexus Knight wrote:As it adds more credibility... price drop also seen here at this Walmart. Though, we are still stuck on Wave 1. Yay...

So far, only Super Gobot Destroyer achieved such a feat. Armada Scavenger is not really a tank and CW Leader Megatron cheat by having 4 threads instead of 2. Unless I'm wrong and there's more?
I'll give him something else.

You never said it had to be. You just said "tank", which Rampage indisputably turns into as his third mode, as a "crab tank" is still some kind of "tank".-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Beast Wars Rampage's tank mode had working treads in its day.-Kanrabat- wrote:In the end, the planned B-Day gift for my friend, SS Brawl, I'll keep it for myself.

That's pretty nice.
However, it's far from a "real" tank.

Yikes. He might as well just get into model collecting.-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:You never said it had to be. You just said "tank", which Rampage indisputably turns into as his third mode, as a "crab tank" is still some kind of "tank".
I should have pointed out that my friend can't stand Cybertronian or weird designs. He's also adamant about vehicle scale. Also, planes must have a perfectly clean underside.
Yeah, the "winning conditions" are a bit hard to acheive.

He likes combiners but also good vehicle scaling? Bruticus must be kinda confusing then.
Can't say I'm bothered about working treads myself. Not on a transforming toy anyways. Just limits the heck out of the design when a 'real' Transformer could likely handle seperating tank treads for robot mode and reconnecting them when it turns into vehicle form. I may as well ask why don't all car Transformers have working doors when that's an even more basic feature?

Armada Scavenger is the best one that nailed it so far. Even if the articulation would be limited, the same concept should be taken to make a realistic tank. The "threads limbs" could be the arms or the legs.
