Pick them up at a local toy store on friday

Alt Mode

With WFC Soundwave

Robot Mode

Piledriver Mode

With WFC Soundwave

Articulation wise is great, my only beef with it is that the piledriver gimmick sometime get in the way when transforming to alt mode

Just got mine yesterday. Scale-wise, they're almost exactly as tall as WFC Bumblebee should have been as a toy compared to deluxe class WFC Optimus. The ball joints on Rumble's [red] legs were a little on the loose side, but that's easily fixable with a bit of nail polish or crazy glue/cyanoacrylate.

While on the large side, they actually look quite nice posed with either WFC or Music Label Soundwave.

Articulation's good, although the pile drivers can sort of get in the way when posing.

Overall, they're very impressive as far as scout class TF's are concerned, and definitely a worthy purchase.

I agree with you. The loose ball joint on the thigh was also due to the restrictive part on the back of them. and i do see the chances of the piledriver getting loose

I'm currently in Hong Kong and spent an entire day trying to hunt one of those sets down, not a sniff of anything :-(

Honestly, I don't actually play with TF; I just display them in cool poses, and change the poses once in a while [a month or two.] I don't handle TF or any other figs too often, so hopefully, the joints will stay tight.

BTW, I also noticed that the visor on my Frenzy was quite poorly painted. But since these have been selling like hotcakes at my local hobby store, I think I'll just get a good ol' can of wine red spray paint, collect some in a bottle and fix it up myself.

Also, I bought a Laser OP which was sold as a set with R&F, and the left side of his front grill was missing some paint apps. I'll see if I can get it replaced; pretty hard to paint up those slim lines.
