Who is that guy in purple, the plane? It looks like Shockwave though but Shockwave's a gun..

The purple plane is something new. Who's that?

Cybertron Skywarp. I have no idea why I took him out of my collection.

I don't have a pic handy, but in playing with DreadWing last night, he can also stay in plane mode and have his legs down and standing.

Looks pretty good actually. As much as I don't like DreadWings bot mode, I love his alt mode.

He's way too small

Both Dreadwing and Payload are too small.

What do you expect? They're Deluxe class. And Payload sucks. I'd have gladly paid $20 each for Dreadwing and Longarm if they were Voyagers, and I'd even throw in a loose/complete Payload.

Longarm is good enough for Deluxe class. A bit small, if compared to the Movie GMC truck. But i can just imagine it's some sort of Ford Ranger pickup. Then it won't be too small.

Dreadwing should probably go for Leader class, as is all other aircraft bots in the Movie.

Dude, I wouldn't want that towing rig on my Ranger...it's got the 4-banger, but the V6 isn't a ton more powerful...neither has enough "oomph" to pull anything like that behind it.

Dropkick, on the other hand, could be a small pickup...nothing wrong with that.

i actually saw a tow-truck similar to longarm, and it wasn't that big.

by **Bigdaddymcqueen** » Sat Oct 27, 2007 10:12 pm

Tow truck for a clown car maybe. :lol:

The truck in the movie (confirmed by Hasbro to be longarm by the existence of the diorama with the legless Bumblebee) was a diesel. You can hear it when it's running.

The design is good. But the toy is a bit disappointing. Quality issues.

Metallic finish is cool.

Bring out more life from Dropkick.

by **Malikon** » Tue Nov 13, 2007 1:13 pm

that's cool. Did you color match? He doesn't look so purple anymore.

If you balance him correctly, you can stand him on one leg in jet mode - looks like a model plane on a stand.

And yeah, he's really under-rated.
