Got Wreckage for an early x-mas present, and i transformed him and when his final automorph is applied I can't get the head to point all the way up. It seems like it's stuck. I've tired to tf him a few times and it's the same. Is he supposted to be looking down all the time?

crap. Anyway, I'm also getting Longarm and Dropkick how are they? Any probs I should know about?

Both of those two are pure gold. Love them both. And if the looking down thing on Wreckage bothers you enough if you take his head off and carve out a little at the back of the neck joint you can get him to look up a little more. Personally its not a huge problem to me, I just figure he's a badass who will kill you without even looking at you.

Dropkick is awsome, only prob with Longarm is that his gun dosen't come off WAIT strike that all you have to do is unscrew the gun and then there's a peg on the other side of the gun so you can put it on the other hand with out screwing it back on

I love my Longarm, The chest ball joint in mine is tight as a button, it was a very well detailed, articulated and painted figure (there aren‘t as many smudges as there are on other figures).

As for Wreckage, yeah, he doesn’t live up to all the hype you hear about him. He cant look up and cant lock into place at his back. I remember buying him back in June with Barricade and Bumblebee thinking I would like Wreckage the most and Bumblebee the least, turned out that Bumblebee was my favorite and I almost hated Wreckage. He was a disappointment to me, but I have grown to liking him.

For Dropkick I cant say, I don’t own him yet but may just get him tomorrow, so we both have something to look forward to.

Dropkick is awesome, my favorite Deluxe TF so far (Allspark Landmine might be a contender)

His alt mode is unique, a lowrider pickup truck is a first in TF history. It's decorated with a huge purple Decepticon logo which look spiffy.

His transformation is intricate, but certainly easy enough to master right away.

Dropkick's robot mode features a lot of detailing and Movie styling, with crooked 'raptor' legs, wrist mounted double-barreled guns (located below his fist) and a very nifty unique head design. His kibble makes for a bulky upper body and best of all; his huge goofy claw/truckbed weapon is removable and unnecessary in both modes.

There's a way to make Wreckage look straight forward without any modifications or carvings.

Just position the body in such a way that it sort of bends backwards. Like he's gonna lift something heavy over his chest. He's got a big protruding chest anyway, so it won't look bad. And he can stand good and stable. This will make him look straight forward. But not upwards. Same problem and solution with Classics Mirage.

As for Longarm. He's a nice figure. Only problem will be to transform him back to truck mode and make all the parts fit in properly. Particularly difficult will be the hood part. You can do it alright, but it will take some time and a lot of patience. You press one part, other parts come off. You fix that, still other parts come off. Good luck on that.

Dropkick is one hell of a toy. Very nice design for both truck and bot mode. The shoulders comes off easily. But not a big problem. At least not as bad as Deluxe Brawl's problem.

Landmine is simply the best of the best Movie toy. He beats any and all Deluxe and Voyagers so far. I'd say, it's a tose up when compared to Leader Prime and/or Leader Brawl.

Longarm is a nice figure. Just the alt mode is difficult and I don't know about a ball chest joint in my longarm, but it's swiveled in certainw ay making alt. mode for mines VERY difficult. The gun is screwed on cause...it's a big, heavy gun. You can unscrew it but I prefer it on. I got a second unopened one in case my longarm breaks.

Dropkick is okay. He doesn't come with any gimmick except for a ridiculous claw-shield thing. Alt. mode...is ugly to me. But aside from those, nothing wrong from the figure.

Wreckage has some problems, but I'll keep him. He's an okay figure. People already listed the concerns with the toy.

Another minor problem with Wreckage is the color. The red parts look really good. But i can't say the same for the white parts.

Should have been military green camouflage.
