I basically have all the movie-line toys that actually appeared in the movie~

Was wondering if you guys recommend any of the ones that didn't appear in the movie!

Also please tell me the reason why you recommend the toy.

Thanks in advance!

wreckage. he is a kick-ass ninja robot with a darth maul-ish weapon. what more could you ask for!?

arcee. she was originally supposed to be in the movie. her alt mode is super-sick and her bot mode (minus head) is one of my favorites!

I agree on wreckage and arcee and would add longarm, who sort of appeared in the movie in truck mode. Great head sculpt, very posable, huge weapon, lots of fun. Swindle is underrated with a particularly sweet car mode. Chasing decepticons beware his massive boot cannon!

Wreckage.

Arcee is alright, but so far behind Wreckage in terms of great-ness it's barely funny.

I, too, am on this bandwagon. I'm also thrilled with Longarm and to a lesser extent Dropkick (who's also pretty nice).

Dreadwing has a kick-ass alt mode, but the bot leaves something to be desired. Same with Payload, except the alt mode isn't terribly hot, either. :lol:

totally forgot about this one (but he's on my shelf, sheesh)...another great one, better than the original Deluxe because the paint job is great.

Dropkick, Wreckage, and Meantime.

Everyone else is wrong.

Don't know, yes, and yes.

Once again, I'll put in a good word for Dreadwing; yes he's fugly in bot mode, but he is super poseable.

I also second(or more) the vote for Arcee.

I'll have to wait until next week to decide on Longarm.

Wreckage and Longarm (once you unscrew his gun) totally rue the shelf.

Arcee is okay, but that hideous head loses major points.

Payload, Swindle, and Dreadwing are meh... except Payload, who has a 5" plunger stuck up his rectal region.

Dunno about Dropkick, yet. He and Concept Bumblebee are the only two supposedly out right now i don't have that I plan on getting.

Well, the paint job on MY G1 redeco is really good.

so is mine, after a little rummaging. i think it's the 08 BB syndrome...

dropkick that sht! He looks so...decepticonish. He's just so bad...butt. For me, no amount of articulation could get me to buy a figure with a camera head, but that's just me. I like faces, and dropkick's is pretttty nice.

I would agree with the Dropkick recommendations. Great transformation, especially for a deluxe. Looks pretty good as a robot, although he has those reverse leg joints (kinda like Starscream's) which I'm not overly fond of, but otherwise looks good...better than the back of the box made him out, I thought. And the low-rider pick-up alt mode isn't super exciting, to me, but the decepticon logo paint job is pretty sweet. Mostly I just recommend him based upon his solid, fun, relatively complex transformation process.

Hasbro Wreckage does not look anything like the picture Blackout posted. But Blackout's pic does show how bad Hasbro is at painting their own figures...
