I want this bad boy baaaaaaaaaad.

It should not be legal...

...for him to rock so hard that your face hurts. Mine's well past bruised.

by **ShockUzer** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 8:41 am

Yes, I like it¡ :-)

by **Sloptank** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 8:45 am

Awesome. Gonna get a couple of these.

by **DSanza** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 8:48 am

This is one awesome figure. The level of detail is great, and the robot mode fits in with the movie style perfectly.

Cybertron Prime is gonna be mad that this guy has a better "SAVAGE CLAW MODE"

And yeah, I do look forward to this figure, I love the seemingly stabile roller feet, the sculpt is intresting, although I'd like to see him as a S7 fig and not an AutoBot(it's something that bothers me about the Target S7 scouts).

Still, emachiated gullet, roller feet, murderer mask, claws, whats not to like :???:

Outside of seeing how the QC on this guy is, I have no grips.

Agreed, a couple of these bad-dogs flanking BB would make a nice scene. Can't believe all the detail, they even applied the US flag correctly on the right side, w/ the field forward. Love those big hands, too. He appears to be made from an alloy of wintanium and awesomite. :grin:

I predict he'll be the Concept BB of the Allspark line- despsperately sought after and hard to find. I wonder if Kohl's will come thru again...

It's love at first sight.

by **zemper** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 9:01 am

hmmm, at first i wasn't too keen on getting any of the Allspark figures, seeing as how my search for my TFTM chases are constantly draining my wallet, plus these toys have no official media appearance...but after seeing those pics and the posability this toy has, i might change my mind and buy this one off the bat.

plus, he looks so...Bionicle. must be those thin arms and ball joints.

:MAX:

In the minority again here-I really hate his head and feet. No for me... meaning more for the rest of you.

Not a chance. Hasbro's already said publicly that they will not be producing a figure of the Mountain Dew Machine.

I think he and Incinerator are going to be on my "I Want It" list

News Credits: 21 · by **dragons** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 9:35 am

i like him but i will not buy i dont have room and the allspark line doesnt intrest to me much and what is with wheels on the bottom of the feet lately almost every figure thats out has wheels on the bottom of there feet that where not in the film.

by **Phenotype** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 9:37 am

I agree that the feet and head kinda suck but he's so cool it doesn't really matter to me. I'm definitely getting this guy!

News Credits: 3 · by **muswp1** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 9:38 am

I'm not a big fan of his feet, but overall he looks like a great figure.

That explains the low bid with less than 24 hours left...if that was a well described listing, I'm sure that bid would be a LOT higher.

...being in Hong Kong doesn't help either.

I like muchski.

Landmine looks awesome. Very cool figure.

My opinion on the Mountain Dewbot:
If it was 1984 we would all be saving our robot points to get the exclusive mail-in Dewbot. C'mon Hasbro...we're still kids at heart here. Where's our robot points??? Our mail-in exclusive???

by **olokin** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 10:02 am

He seems to be solid design all around. I like his gun and he looks pretty articulated. but the face...

I guess he plays goalie for the Autobot hockey team.

I am more interested in seeing what the new packaging will look like for these Allspark Power releases. They may change it to the new Animated series type packaging.

News Credits: 3 · by **Kayevcee** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 10:43 am

The thing about the mail-ins, Switchpoint, is that they were all existing moulds- the Omnibots from Diaclone and Reflector and the Powerdashers from (I think) Microman. To make a new mould viable they'd have to make at least one full run from it. I did ask about getting a Legends-size one at Botcon and was basically told "don't hold your breath". Depending on sales of Takara's novelty stuff like the TF:Nike shoes and such we might see something from them, though.

Anyway- Landmine? Awesome. All the non-show movie guys I've picked up so far have been truly spiffy. Even Dreadwing. From the waist up, anyway.

no, i doubt it as some time ago there was a post here about the Allspark figures as well as the packaging. they will still use the TFTM style packaging, only with differentiated text indicating that this toy and such belonged to the Allspark line.
