What, you don't want an oversized version of this?blackeyedprime wrote:Picking up impactor tho the autobot sybmbols in kind of a weird place and will be awkward looking when replaced with a sticker to keep all the autobot symbols red. Fingers crossed Hasbro doesnt just use a repaint for warpath.

Also, the instructions are wrong (gee, there's a shock) about Trypticon's purple cannon barrels. They should be extended in ship mode (to make the towers look more like guns). and collapsed in city mode.
I hope they do a bow battlemaster.
Wait, what do you mean by --- OH MY GOD I THOSE DO PULL OUT.

I never saw an engine block look like that on a racecar, there is usually a bunch of space under the spoiler.

Well to be fair, aerodynamics don't seem to matter much on Cybertron. I think it's a good idea as far as transformation goes and implemented as well as that price point could allow. The spoiler bits do look cool on his shoulders though. I wonder if a few more moving parts could have put the arms behind or under the altmode with the spoiler clean and free on top?william-james88 wrote:I never saw an engine block look like that on a racecar, there is usually a bunch of space under the spoiler.ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:blackeyedprime, take into account that Mirage's forearms are supposed to be his engine block.

I'm probably looking at it wrong but it seems the back wheels are inside the back of the torso and the arms would fold over the check, but that seems like it would put the spoiler facing the wrong way and the wrist cuff engine scoop inside out as well. You can see the front wheels and front spoiler inside the legs, but where does the white nose cone come from?

See the above few posts. All mostly makes sense now. The arms fold back and there is a lot of movement in the torso. The blue part of the legs always made sense to me, but I couldn't wrap my head around the rest.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:The front spoiler doesn't move it looks like: rather, the legs twist 90 degrees and the transparent blue cover with the feet attached is hinged up or down. Also, I said "Starscream-style", as in the chest becomes the back. I believe there's a hinge inside to flip it upward.carytheone wrote:I'm probably looking at it wrong but it seems the back wheels are inside the back of the torso and the arms would fold over the check, but that seems like it would put the spoiler facing the wrong way and the wrist cuff engine scoop inside out as well.

Seems like for-hire delivery is becoming more and more popular, after Uber and Lyft revolutionized the Taxi service, and similar services started delivering food, NOW I see Amazon trucks everywhere, in addition to independent drivers. I tell you, if I ever get laid off again, that's probably one of the first places I'll go to look for work. I get something almost once a week from Amazon now, and rarely do I ever see the same driver.
Skritz wrote:So, Impactor: he's growing on me in spite of people saying he's ugly. But then again his big ugly mug seems to remind me of an '80 action hero like Ahnuld or Stallone so that works well for him. His colors seem a pretty mixed bag and never look the same in pictures so I'll have to wait and see how it looks in hand.
Anybody else want to see him retooled into Demolishor, btw?

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

Bucky wrote:Impactor also looks good, all things considered. He’s got some good proportions. I do wish he had been a Voyager class though.
ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Regarding Classics Mirage vs. SIEGE Mirage, I would say that Classics Mirage is actually more GEEWUN - the bits all end up in the same places and he transforms very similarly to the original toy. SIEGE Mirage is back-to-front, comparitively and has a faux-parts chest. But he does have a better-proportioned head and more accessories. In fact, he's got the complete set.
