The ROTF line suffers from bad balls joints...


I like peughs reviews in that he really shows you all of the in's and out's of the fig..Brawn is suffering from kibble overload but does maintain a good "brawn like" appearence.., ratchet is just baffling imo..Did the poor sales of the voyager not indicate that his appeal is just not there? Lockdown i'm not that interested in althjough he may get some love when he hits sale price..Skystalker i'm on the fence about..All in all good reviews but the figs are meh at best..

They're all honestly looking pretty good to me. Ratchets vehicle mode is hopefully in scale at least even though the robot mode is underwhelming but that's fine, still looks awesome. Brawn is looking good and his small stature and kibble can easily be forgiven since he's really just a modernized version of his G1 form. I've been anxiously awaiting Lockdown for a while now and I'm glad that he will soon be available because that is one good looking toy. And I can also see a shelf of three or four Skystalkers, and why not? I have three 2007 Dreadwings!

Very good figured and very good reviews on them, thanks for these reviews Peugh!

Disapointed about Ratchets shortness.
Lockdown is definately on my must buy list. Brawn too.

Lockdown is awesome.. so getting him and hes really tall too for a deluxe.. I bet even more so then the short Voyager Grindor and all his molds..

Why would anyone be disappointed with Ratchet's height? To be in scale with voyager Ironhide and delux BB you need a voyager Ratchet. I'm happy about a delux Ratchet because he'll be in scale with voyager Prime and Trans-scanning BB. And I think he looks better than the voyager figure cos he's slim like the CGI instead of fat chunky and geeky like the voyager version!

All the figures look good to me!

RotF Lockdown looks great in bot mode and like its TFA version, so very tall.

I don't mind Brawn's kibble issue because it's what I expect from designs using the live action movie aesthetics. The alt mode looks cool to me.

Ratchet looks better to me in the video than in the photos of the figure.

Skystalker looks neat, though the chunky lower legs do throw the overall proportions off a bit.

Peaugh always does great reviews

However I will only be buying Lockdown

Based on what I've seen, I'll be buying all but Ratchet. I already have the voyager, so I just don't see the need...

I think Skystalker looks the best, he reminds me of a gargoyle.

Well, surely it shows the Voyager is just not there. But this Deluxe is a refreshing change.

I will not lie, I'm looking forward to most of these. Skystalker is a great looking scout, though I'd have preferred more to his connection with Mindwipe. Ratchet, scale aside, is really nicely done, and his rival Lockdown maintaining a little connectivity with him from their Animated appearances is a nice touch. Lockdown is another I'd be interested to get. Brawn doesn't really do it for me, but hey. This means that within the next year there's six figures out of the ROTF line that I feel really warrant my money. Skystalker, Ratchet, Lockdown, Mindwipe, Bludgeon and Leader Starscream. Fine, Hasbro, just take all my money.
