I cannot defend myself on another unmentioned site due to having issues with moderators over giving me credit on prior Prototypes / Unreleased figures. I have continued to share this info at no gain to me but as information to share with the community as a whole. This is now the 3rd Confirmed Figure that I myself have sourced and acquired and shared with this Hobby. If you want me to continue to do so I would suggest a little respect when it has been proven again that I am legit and have come with the goods time and time again.
If you wish to remain immature and bandwagon with previous hobbies who have questioned my legitimacy that is your choice. Also you should base your assumptions on facts. I have Delivered those and will continue to deliver those as long as I am part of this hobby!
What is this a reaction to? I don't see anyone questioning your legitimacy, the only real negative comments I see are like 2 typical "Bwah stupid bayformers!" you get in every movie related thread.
This is in reaction to a post on another website not this one.
Honestly there was no need to post this here as it pertained to another webiste. Nobody here knew what you were talking about in this rant so essentially you were defending yourself to no one. Not to mention it nearly started a flame war on page 3.
Please keep other websites issues on other websites and do not bring them here (unless you are publicly called out here). And if someone calls you out here plz report them to me.
Now that is over.
Nice fig thanks for sharing the photos.

Or would that be too sensible and idea considering the molds exist and not being used?

The sensible thing to do would be to just release them under the Generations banner.
Which probably won't happen.

Primeultimus, are you going to take pics of the toy out of the packaging, or do plan to keep in MOSC? I'll understand if you want to keep it sealed, but I'm just curious if there's any more cool pics coming.

That's just insulting. This is Wheeljack we're talking about. His original incarnation pulled a freaking bomb out of his back-pocket to hand off to Bumblebee and Spike to go blow up a @#$*# mine for crying out loud. They've neutered him in this version. He's supposed to be an EOD techs worst nightmare. Ugh... the car mode, the bot mode... I'm actually glad this version never made it to the shelves. I'd sooner take the Prime/BH version of 'Jack over this and I can't stand most of the Prime/BH molds.
They did a fairly decent job with a Movieverse Brawn (I like Firetrap in the role of Brawn better though) so why couldn't they come up with something better for this one?
And no, I'm not just hating on it for the sake of hating or going into some G1 fueled nerd rage despite how my opening comments sounded. They really did come out with some amazing molds for the characters that didn't get screen time and I could rave about a few of them for days so it's not that I have some kind of bias. This is me genuinely disappointed after having seen them do so much better with other characters.

You could always, you know, ignore the cardboard. If it helps you to sleep better.

Send this "Johnny come lately" Bayformer repaint to Botcon...? Absolutely!
Mix it in with the current high flying Generations line...?
Not just no but but "Hell no!"
People forget why that last Bayformers line was cut short in the first place. Sneaking these in with Generations figures will not sit well. How about throwing them in with that upcoming Movie where they belong. That would be sensible.

I totally agree with you a 100% my brother!!
Bumblebee saturated the market with his zillions of variants... I'm sick of him, so bad that he made me HATE camaro!!!! The movie trilogy would have been epic, but nooooooooooooo
they had to cancel it.
jeez...

Good thing that pretty much stopped when Beast Hunters began. Now it's every figure of Waves 1 and 2 of each toyline that shelfwarm the toy aisles.Deathscythetransform wrote:cybeast wrote:If only this get released instead of all that yellow car variant that keep getting a release (no offense for BB fans, but I'm kind of sick seeing literally BB shelfwarming everywhere here).
