Isn't that the Chronicles version of Deluxe Prime? I didn't know those were out yet.

EDIT: Just checked, it's the normal version, could have sworn that they were different.

Any Transformer with a 5mm peg hole can hold it, which is like, most Transformers that exist. :lol:

He must be travelling. The nightstand/desk backdrop isn't his normal style.

Yes, these chrome repaints are the same in functionality and gimmick as the regular release mechtech weapons. All mechtech handles fit into mechtech ports on all of the DOTM toys, some even have ports on the weapons themselves(Voyager class mechtech weapons.

This. Oh wait, i did get this off BBTS, and the others too. And all the Minicons and Microns and MinUKons.

These are actually pretty nifty weapons if you ask me. Yes they are large, especially for the toy that comes with them, Yes they typically don't store well in ALT mode, but truly, these are really fun weapons, ESPECIALLY the one that came with DOTM Ratchet. a spinning saw blade? its amazing. yYou pull the lever and the blade comes out spinning!
