Awesome find as usual Real Devastator!!
1st reply Whoo Hoo!!
Man, that Altmode is just super sexy!! I am so taken with that car, wish I could afford the real thing..
anyhow...
the Back pack "basket" Kibble of the robot mode is really annoying..
I mean was he like that in the movie??
Or is this Blogger's Transformation wrong? It seems like the back kibble should be raised up and attached to his upper torso in some way.. I can't and refuse to believe that his back kibble just sits off the back there like that, and forms a scoop Basket..
I just refuse to believe Hasbro of all toy companies would do a transformer this halfassed, and want to charge a good 30.00 for it....
Nawwwww...
Can't happen....
can it???

That's a weird battle mask.
I remain underwhelmed by this figure. Such a shame after the glory of HABB.

Doesn't appear as "chunky" as the last set. This figure looks good.

That is awesome.
The backpack sucks and so do his arms but he's still badass.
Epps on the other hand looks horrid but hell he's tiny!

Dude, Real Devastator, how do you get so much good stuff?

I'm personally not impressed with this figure. Both HA Bee and Skids look better than him.
Even the deluxe figure looks better.

I guess for the purpose of him to fit inside Sideswipe, Epps' legs appear too long for his torso or his torso is too small for his legs. It's like Sideswipe gave him a major wedgie that Epps can't escape.
Otherwise, Sideswipe looks great.
By the way, why was the Human Alliance line limited to just K-Marts and Toys R Us in the beginning? Those seemed to be the only stores this line had been appearing in since the beginning, based on the sightings page. Of course, I've now noticed their appearance this month in Wal-Marts, based on the sightings page. So why the month+ delay?

Spare a thought for poor Sideswipe, always having to keep his back to everyone else in case they see the junk he has to haul about.
Why do you think he has to move so fast? So that nobody gets to see.
Constantly having to lean forwards to keep from falling on his back and not being able to get up.
He was bullied at school you know, "Tortoiseformer" they would shout.
He's had a hard life.
I really hope that is incorrectly transformed, I have this on order and this doesn't make me feel happy, may have to cancel.

Trade Secret! Haha, just joking.
I just love to surf things about Transformers, so whenever I am free and online, i will do that.
So far, i think mere luck that i am able to find stuffs here and there, as i am not alliance to any people from TF factories or people that always can get toys first hand.
Whenever i find info or news i will just share it here if it is not yet posted.

Waiiiit a second... battle mask? I thought that was his face there already! Hmmm, real face seems rather like Prime's. Nontheless, I like it. Darn back-kibble basket... there has to be a way to fold it in better; pretty much the main downer for me on this figure as well as the non-retractable rubber blades and overelevated shoulder missile launcher, I...think I wouldn't mind getting him though.

So Epps has to endure getting wedgied everytime he sits in Sideswipe?
OUCH! Hahahaha, nice one.

It looks like his fingers and thumb both move. I doubt the fingers are independent, but at least we'll get some ability to pose. I agree, Epps has a major wedgie. I'm still gonna get him, despite the backpack.

This looks really sweet! But did grandma forget to put her dentures in? His mouth looks a little retirement home to me.

I knew there had to be a way to extend his legs. Looks so much better now!
The arms are still kinda bad though.
Bring on Barricade!

Wow!
The car looks a lot better than the Deluxe version (although I'll be getting both!) and I like the symbol on his head; never noticed that before!
I think people assume he is 'stocky' because his arm-blades are proportionally shorter than his Deluxe counterpart's...Oh yeah, and probably the extendable leg-thing, too! (Which is a sweet feature)
Overall, I can't wait for it!
Can't wait for HA Barricade, either!
(Damn, better mop up this floor...!)
