Best deluxe of the year with a very inventive transformation. Highly looking forward to this

You know, when I look at this guy, he looks rather like a miniaturized TF: Crossovers Hulk Tank, even down to the treads being his shoulders. Might have to give my Hulk a new head, and call him Hailstorm's upgrade after being crushed by Ironhide...

ONly talk about articulation in passing and doesn't mention the range of motion

Anyone noticed that this reviewer can almost never get figures to stand?

Ok yeah he's short and theres a few things could use improvement, but this is still a bad little dude for a deluxe! I still say repaint him into Beast Box since Hailstorm has that ape-ish look.

Peaugh did it again and reviewed the upcoming Transformers 2010 deluxe Hailstorm figure. Hailstorm is a homage to the G2 comic only character Mindset, you can watch Peaughs review by clicking here or right here on seibertron.com!

WANT. Pure win...I am a huge fan of TF's with heavy weapons and he fits the bill.

Good idea, then make a SquawkTalk or whatever and make a fan combined mode!
Or something...

Anyhow, he looks awesome, as I made up a character with a similar altmode(maybe the same) this gives me a good idea of transformation.
I still say Wreckage retools would make better MindSets...

While I doubt I'll be getting this guy, I must say his transformation is packed with some excellent goodies: the flip-open missile pack reveal, the folded tank tread reveal of the arm, and the shoulder fold-down are all really nice touches, as is the head mobility. Kudos Has-Tak!

Ive always enjoyed Peaugh's videos. In each of Peaugh's videos, he "burps" every 2 or 3 minutes. Its a silent burp, but you can hear it when he takes a breath every 2 or 3 minutes. I think he reviews after he eats.

Id like to know what he does for a living where he gets all these new toys "first". It's awesome.

And once again Mykltron can only whine about Peaugh's review. At this point... here's a hint... STOP WATCHING HIS REVIEWS if you hate them so much.

But seeing the inevitable complaints from you about each of his reviews is damn annoying. We get it already, you don't like him, he killed your first born, blah blah blah. Last I checked his video reviews are still better then your nonexistent video reviews.

There is just something about Hailstorm that makes him a total buy. I may even buy two, one for pure "rip open the box and transform away" and another for customizing (I'm thinking of a Gundam crossover...oh the blasphemy!). The hand articulation, the missile pods, the lumbering stance. All wins here.

If you read my review in that other thread, you'd quickly realize that you might not want that toy so bad after all. Not a good figure imo, robot articulation is just weird and the tank mode doesn't hold together very well, takes lots of massaging to get it right.
