WHERE THE F%@K IS SWINDLE?!?!?!

I'm surprised we haven't seen colored/in-package reveals for all of them, actually.

Got airburst in the mail today. Really like this guy. Comes in just behind the mmc combiners, who are so far my favorites.

Is it just me, or does he look a little skinny...

Looks pretty cool imo

Hmm, I could use a Classics Buttflap Bulkhead in Voyager class!

Looks great, cant wait to see the rest in color.

He looks great. The purple light piping really caught my eye.

I agree. I really like this too. I'm not going in for the whole team but I may pick this up to go with my classics ultra class Onslaught.

I find the purple really off-putting. Too mellow a color for someone of Brawl's disposition. It does look really damn good though, almost to the point where I may consider it... almost, but not quite. >:oP

That's a shame X . If you're not buying the combiner why not pick a couple of the cons that would be voyager in scale any way like brawl or blast off with them being a tank and space shuttle . The only one that's crazy out of scale is swindle... maybe vortex and well Onslaught :lol:

I love how they look but it just defies the scale my whole collection is based on. If it was the size of feral rex I would be cool with purchase. But the oversized stand alone combiner mode just doesnt work for me.

I agree.

I'm actively trying to like it and I can't yet.

It looks great, but it's just too big.

If WB01 Swindle, Brawl, Vortex and Blastoff were Deluxe scale. While WB Onslaught was Voyager Scale. With WB Bruticus being in scale with MT Giant and FP Menasor. I would have happily bought all of them. Then I would have got rid of ROTF Bruticus with the FP add ons.

WB sculpts are the best Combaticons toys I have ever seen. Problem is the toys are too oversized.

Personally speaking Brawl is the only one I'm impressed with thus far sculpt wise... but then given there aren't any real decent alternatives for a good looking Brawl, that's not saying much. I still think Explorer looks much better than Air Burst, and I'm not counting on Warbotron's not-Swindle to beat Munitioner in the looks department either. Size-wise though none of it really falls into a comfortable spot, so I'll stick with what I've got.

gotta say, sculpting is nice but i think he's a little thin. not terribly, but he could be bulkier. and looking at the swindle digibash im not liking him as much as FP's.

by **Shadowstream** » Sun May 11, 2014 11:01 am

Thus my statement on Warbotron not-Swindle versus Munitioner is proven right, not only not looking anywhere near as good, but also suffering from shrunken head syndrome. Where's that screencap from Beetlejuice?

If the quality is improved on Brawl, I'll buy him. I'm not really interested in the rest.
