I'm really hoping the rest of that Megatron ends up on Kanrabat's operating table.

Na, he tried already but realized it was too complicated to handle and paint, compared to other molds. But that microscope is going to Kanrabat though

[-Kanrabat-]

Nice Kan! If you're feeling limber, you should take a pic of her next to a standard Warrior Class. I'm interested to see how she scales

Well, why not? Just because it's you shajaki.

As you see, the Warrior have the better vehicle.




But there is no contest for the not mode.

Dont get your hopes too high, its definitely a junker.

About Strongarm, I dont find the vehicle mode awkward (do you have the battle pack optimus? Now that is awkward). It looks the same to me. I just find the transformation a bit underwhelming, especially compared to battle pack grimlock. Thats the best battle pack toy so far for me. Oh and Kanrabat, you have a warrior Optimus right? He scales so well with this smaller strongarm.

Only problem is that she's legends/scout-sized. So amazing for a legends collection... but not much else.

Hopefully they'll Beast Hunter-upscale her.

Thats not as big a problem in this line though because the bots all vary in size on the show and the same characters are available at multiple different classes so you can make a nice solid cast using this strongarm just as much as you could with the warrior.

Suppose... but the only toy in this line that really works for Grimlock is TAV Battle/Platinum Grimlock, right? Or am I mistaken

One never have enough junk! We never know when some random crap can turn into something incredible. Stay tuned because I have something really cool in the work. It's not a Transformers but it's related. Tune in this Saturday night!

As for that scout Strongarm truck mode, it's the rear of the truck that kill it for me. All that blue with no white to break the side windows is just sad. I'm not disapointed with the transformation. standard, sure, but effective. And yeah, she does scale very well with Warrior Optimus, MegatronUS, and Grimlock.

Don't expect anything from Hastak. But maybe a KO company will hear your plea.

It really depends on what you want. The battle pack grimlock is just as phenominal (better actually). Just check this pick out:



As you can see from the pick above, you can play with the scales to your liking, your RID collection can really be whatever you want it to be. The warrior grimlock only blows when you scale him with other warriors, but you dont need to (there was also a breakage issue, but it might be fixed with the rerelease). Even the 3 step has its merits. It was actually designed by the same guy who did Masterpiece Optimus, Sideswipe, Wheeljack ect.


Oh and while looking for a review of this strongarm on youtubes, I found this. It is weird as heck and I simply cannot be the only one to be weirded out, so you will all suffer too:

Thanks for the awesome pics Kan

WOW she is small! Great looking, but small. Is she going to be the official Strongarm of your RID display?

My RiD shelf is like a kid's toybox. Prime and RiD toghether, in a pile.

Nah, Strongarm (small and big) go to my Fembots bookshelf. All the girls toghether, in a glorious robotic harem!

Another day, another haul. This time from the thrift shop where I got all this for less than $4



This is all I wanted though:



The rest will be sold for cheap or given away.

Cool ninja turtle there!

And what is that HUGE car decepticon??

Never seen him before, pretty cool! I'm not familiar with any series beyond G1, the movie and recently C.W.
C.W. is literally the first line I've ever looked into since G1 in my childhood. Well, I did see a bit of Beast Wars on TV, but was never interested. Never liked the concept of robots transforming into animals. Beast Wars tried to make them look like actual animals, but they always look like robotic animals... If they actually looked like robotic animals, like the dinobots or insecticons of olde, then I'd probably have liked it better.
So anything other than those TV shows is new to me



Looks cool though.

It is cool. I have a series of articles on this site tha covers figures throughout all the eras, organized by theme. I wrote them to show the wide span of the line and all the cool figures it includes that people mght not be aware of. This figure is there too in the Best Cybertronian Land Vehicles list:
