But it's bigger than the POTP version, right?

I want to say yes but I don't have one handy to compare.

I think comparing it to PotP Brawn or Beachcomber would be close enough. If I remember correctly they were around the same height (as were most other Legends at the time)

Stop being fools and just check out the damn video review.

I mean, for Shark's sake.

I have already watched it and knew. My question was the move the dialogue.

I don't keep figures on display so I don't have anything from POTP handy. I do have the Cyberverse version of Gnaw handy though. That figure is fun.

Here's another video, which compares all of the previous Sharkticons:

Saw Wreckgar instore today. The size of him has convinced me to pick him up at some point (when he's not £32) the forearms and bike mode look a bit iffy but the robot mode looks great. Also one of them on the shelve had some really bad paint on its right elbow.
I think i'd be tempted to pick up Gnaw though displaying the TR one has it came in packaging with it's legs folded to give it the appearance of being a bigger figure wont be that far off the height of ss86 Gnaw,

Got my 3x Gnaws in the mail today. They'll make a nice part of my ever growing Sharkticon army.

I like him better than the TR mold, but maybe not as much as the 3P ones I have. I never got the Cyberverse one. It just looked awful to me.

So I got super lucky and found 2 Gnaws for $5 a piece (also has the rest of the wave, but that is for another thread). Does anyone else have problems with the extra fin not staying on the back? the piece is really loose and always falls out on both. As for the rest of the figure, it is decent but I wish they hid the head better in beast mode.

I wonder if anyone's gonna bother and return a Scourge inside a Sweep's packaging.

I feel like the difference in blues between Scourge and the Sweep is like "nighttime Scourge" and "daytime Scourge".

I just got Wreck gar and he looks really impressive. His size and bulk is very much voyager. I love how the front of the motorcycle is almost completely hidden aside from some of the windshield, helping the illusion that his robot mode head morphs into the front of the bike and it's super cool that this illusion is brought to life with the robot head fitting into the alt mode front. I also really love how the wheels plug into the robot mode with those spikes peeking out.

My only issue (aside from the alt mode not being that great in the back half, but that's an issue i have with the wreck gar design in general) is that the back wheel has obstacles stopping it from spinning freely. Did I mess up, does your back wheel move freely?

For the back wheel, you messed up a bit. You just need to fold that bar the right way and the rear wheel would spin freely.

BTW, I plan to get the old Generations Deluxe Junkheap so that he can ride on Wreck Garr in bike mode.

You wouldn't rather wait for the new one coming next year?

Yup, it works now

If you have SS86 Hot Rod, give him a ride on the bike, you'll be amazed. I think they specifically designed the 2 together. Hot Rod has perfect articulation to be able to sit in a riding pose and the opening hands allow you to hold the handlebars without the 5mm portion of the hands having to be lined up perfectly. Wreck Gar has just enough room for Hot Rod's feet.

Deluxe seems to be the perfect size for a rider. I suspect a voyager might be just a little too big to ride without looking like a fat guy riding a mini-bike

That's too bad since the whole point of these guys is they can ride eachother

They're Junkions, I would think fat guy on a mini bike would be right up their alley?

You're giving me the mental image of Bulkhead riding Prowl.

Well, if the newly reported store inventory listings going around for the 2022 Generations lines can be believed, we may be getting a Deluxe Class '86 Arcee next year. I wonder if this will be a retool of the Earthrise/Kingdom Arcee release, or even a brand new mold, given that I think Hasbro knows they blew it with their latest Arcee Generations figure. I hope it's not just a premium paint job for the same exact figure. You can't just put lipstick on that pig, Hasbro.

Leakers are saying it's exactly that.

I now have to believe that the pandemic and lack of product in stores took away Arcee's chance of being the top shelfwarmer of all time. She could have been the one 3 years running if there was enough product to shelfwarm.

I thought the Arcees were for the Bumblebee movie and Prime, I didn't think we were getting an SS86 or G1-style figure.

Look again, the listings have 3 Arcees. A TF6 Arcee (Bumblebee movie) and a SS86 Arcee in Studio Series, and a Prime Arcee in Legacy. Also the leakers have indicated the SS86 one is just a repaint of the ER one.

A premium Arcee recolor? Really? It'd have to be pretty amazing to get me to buy it again.

They should have just made it "premium" to begin with because that's all that mold would have going for it.

I'd be more into it if they somehow made it a Headmaster.

Watch the Bumblebee Arcee be a retool of the Earthrise one...
