New Toy Galleries: Arcee, Swerve, and Stalker Scorponok

I saw Swerve in-store, I've wanted him since he was announced- but didn't get him. He's a pale red, almsot pink, just bad. He has a red-painted section around the rear window, and the contrast between the 2 shades is terrible. Really disappointed, makes me want to repaint him a real red, despite the fact that I can't paint my way out of a wet paper bag.

Great gallery, I also missed out on the first scorponok.
But I'll be getting them both, they look very different with
those colours.

As for arcee, I really can't like her, or Chromia. In the
movie they looked so cool and had great heads. It's a shame
that they couldn't translate it into a toy.

Swerve is a win with the new headsculpt. The figure is Sideswipe
is outstanding so that's a big plus. Hope our european release
will be red like movie 2007 Swindle.

I'm hoping that the local stores will get Swerve and Stalker Scorponok on the shelves ASAP. If they get the 30% discount the RotF deluxe class toys have right now, it'll be even better!

Having Aveo Swerve in RotF Swerve's gallery is a nice touch. I needs me an Aveo Swerve...time to hunt on eBay.

Speaking of Universe Swerve, when's that gallery coming?

I really like ROTF Swerve. I think it's a great figure with a great head sculpt, though my only complaint about the figure is that the head doesn't turn too well because of the new head sculpt.

Universe Swerve should be posted early next week along with a variety of other ROTF galleries such as Chromia, Dead End, and more!

I prefer the original head sculpt but I'm glad they did a little remolding to make the repaints more interesting for this line. To bad the head can't turn well, but that's a minor thing.

Cool, looking forward to the next galleries.

Say Seibertron, this may sound odd, but which do you reccomend the most, since I have none of these molds.

The ROTF galleries should be pouring in over the course of the next couple of weeks. I just finished taking the photographs for 20+ figures over this past weekend. I'm also really close to finishing up for 16 legends class figures, 7 gravity bots, 12 robot heroes and 10 robot replicas. I still have a little bit more work to do for the FAB galleries but they should be finished up within the next week or two.

Coming down the immediate pipe are galleries such as Ejector (this was a fun gallery), Nightbeat, Scalpel, Starscream, Ironhide, Chromia, Universe Swerve, Bludgeon, Whirl, Grindor, Dead End, the dark variant of Sideways, and many, many more.

I can't wait to see the new galleries!

Of these three, I would probably recommend Swerve. He's the most "normal" and "mainstream" of these 3. I'm generally a fan of Arcee, but not with this particular mold. It's just an oddly transformed toy, though I get the rationale behind it. As for Stalker Scorponok, I like the black paint scheme and still like the scorpion mode but the robot mode leaves much to be desired.

Ok, thanks man! And, of the sake of curiousity, are those knees I see sculpted into Scorponok's robot mode legs? Or am I just crazy again? Your pick!

I love the Ejector gallery. Hilarious.
