This mold is growing on me. It may not make it to my display shelves, but it's prtty likely it will make it into my sons' TF "collection" for me to play with when we all play together.

Looks great. I cannot wait to get this guy. I think I have snagged all but 2 of the ROTF scouts. They're just so well designed(aside from Scalpel, DAMN LEGS!). Will also get the inevitable black matte "rat rod" Decepticon repaint. :MR-T:

I pity da fool who doubts it will happen. 8-}

I love him. My only complaint - no guns. But with the basics... err... scouts there usually aren't any.

I love this figure. I've always wished for a line of "WWII-era" Transformers, and this guy and Scout Ransack are a delicious bite of wish fulfillment for me!

I hope it gets a Hubs repaint, that I would buy.

Those exhaust pipes on his arms could pass as cannons if they didn't curve at the end. It would have been nice if they detached or flipped around, as they are it's kind of a tease.

I think I say this for all of us, Boyd Coddington :-(

would be proud of a body like that

Is it just me, or does he look like he's wearing shoes?

Thank you, ever so much. That's the Micromaster I was trying to think of. Thanks. I agree, that would look pretty cool if they repainted Hubs out of this guy. He looks pretty neat on his own.

He'll make an excellent Speedbreaker

I really like this mold. I haven't been to impressed with a lot of the scout class figures lately either. Bring it on!

I've been saying it from day one for this figure, I love it. I also see it being great custom/repaint fodder.

Oh yeah, gonna want a case of those bad boys for repainting.

Cut off those curved ends, add on something like this, and Bob's your uncle.
