Dear god that thing is hideous. I was thinking perhaps of making a Shockwave custom out of it, but it doesn't look like it's worth it.

Does the gun pop out of the chest? Because if it does I am getting him and re-doing the chestburster scene from Alien.

Now I just need to figure out how to put video online...

@ DG:
1) Get a camera
2) Film the video
3) Upload it to YouTube
4) ???
5) PROFIT!

Tummy gun!

The arms look nicely poseable, but this guy is weird lookin'. Still like him for some reason though. Main gripe is that the head should be a little higher up.

I'm passing on this guy, something about him is off putting.

mattyc1007, you are wrong. Swindle is not a Cobalt, he is a generic car so they don't have to pay for the rights to a vehicle. And don't forget: you can edit your posts rather than double-posting.

If it wasnt for the head id say it is a great figure. But because of the head hes just a good figure. The only thing going for him is that he looks like a gobot with that head. Thats why im going to get him. Great pics once again.

If by camera you mean digital camera, I don't have one yet. But I have a camcorder that takes tape I'm not sure if I can use that to upload to the internet. And I need an answer to my prior question as to whether the gun pops out.

1337W422102: While he may not be a Cobalt he does bear a resemblance to one.

Ick.. It may be a tad better if it actually had a head..

by **Rodimus sucks** » Sat May 19, 2007 6:34 pm

Not many people seem to like this guy, but I love him!

I really like the way the legs and feet are down, love the altmode. The head doesn't really bother me. It's not better or worse then most "drone"like TFs.

Thanks for the warning about the head. This guy is in dire need of a neck!

News Credits: 11 · by **Robinson** » Sat May 19, 2007 6:48 pm

This guy vaguely resembles my Saturn ION so I am almost tempted to try my first mod/custom and repaint him to match my car.

by **Big_Bot** » Sat May 19, 2007 7:33 pm

Um...this thing reminds me more of a Gobot than a Transformer.

News Credits: 1 · by **D-340** » Sat May 19, 2007 8:00 pm

Wow, that thing is full of fail.

by **Roboto750** » Sat May 19, 2007 8:24 pm

The body is okay to me, it just needs a head (as stated by several posters in several threads).

News Credits: 5 · by **Gutsman Heavy** » Sat May 19, 2007 9:10 pm

so you never got his head to pop properly, hope mine wont have that problem

by **tentagil** » Sat May 19, 2007 9:31 pm

I like him, but that head problem is a downer. He's on my list of maybes from the line.

by **Sentinel Maximus** » Sat May 19, 2007 9:37 pm

This thing sucks.

I took the chest apart as much as I could just so that I could see the mechanism inside that the ball joint is connected to. The way the figure is designed, there is no way for the ball joint to pop up. It just needs to be longer or the head needs to be designed differently to accommodate being popped up.

so all of em will be like that then... bugger

for those who may not follow what I'm blabbering about this is how it is assumed he is meant to look like:

and here is the one Siebs has:

as you can see the head don't seem to pop up far enough, damn Hasbro

also kudos to you Seibertron for another great gallery. I am still really looking forward to this figure.
