In-Hand Images - Takara Tomy Transformers: Lost Age Movie Advanced AD-11 Dispensor

Wow I really want this.

Whoever posted this. Thank you. I love getting a shout out for my Dispensor.

I don't understand the appeal of this figure. What is it the fact that it is Mood Whiplash, which is cool from the comics, or is it the fact that the vending machine robot appeared in the first movie for all of 5 seconds, which was kinda funny and cool. But is that it? The truck mode is a bore and the robot mode is far from anything special, altho the head sculpt is cool. The rest of the bot mode is quite ugly and generic movieverse styled. I rather spend my money on a transformers liquor cabinet bar fridge that can fit the assorted cybertronian drinks and opens to allow them to be taken out and placed in 5 mm hands ala cogwheels drink tray. it doesn't need to transform and it sure doesn't need a vehicle mode.

Well, at least for me, he's a character I've wanted in a transformable toy mode since he appeared in 2007. Part of that want is because of how funny his brief appearance was. Yes he now sports Mood Whiplash which is cool. But we all know what it should have said. And with that, I must say, MOUNTAIN DEW IS THE BEST SODA EVER MADE.

I couldn't get to the gallery today of dispensor. I'll post it tomorrow.

Yeah, that about sums it up for me too. Well, that and the fact that it so closely relates to one of the many hilarious moments in Maximum Overdrive. The scene where the soda machine takes out the little league coach with first a groin shot and then a fatal shot to the forehead with high powered soda can launches (Priceless moment! If you haven't seen the movie...WATCH IT!)

This is also one of the very few times that you will not hear me complain about a re-paint. I approve of this one whole heartedly.

Hah, I saw that movie, it was so bad but in the best way, especially if you enjoy watching humans being terrorized by machines. Definitely watch it. Damnit... that reference actually made me appreciate this figure more, haha! The first one this figure would kill is that whiney voiced wife chick. Urgh her voice was nails on a chalkboard.

I'll say, the reason I like the figure, is it's kitschy in that B-movie sorta way, because not only does the figure reminds me of that, it also remind me of the time where the Coke machine quite literally exploded on someone in Steven King's Tommyknockers, both in the TV miniseries and in the novel.

oh my god. i need this in the worst kind of way.

Waiting on mine from Robot Kingdom. Shipping hurt, but the price was better than TFSource.

As to why, well,i like obscure and different characters, and i actually like this mold. The fact that the vending machine is part of his deco is a nice gimmick.

This is pretty darn awesome, except how do you play with it? Is it a bot or a con? Kinda confusing, huh! Also my brother tried to convince me that their was a Dispensor toy back in 2007 and I went yeh right like that'll happen!

Glad a figure of this guy has finally come out; he has intrigued me since the first movie.
To the point that i nearly bought the Robot Heroes guy on more than one occasion.

He was one year off:



Robot Hero, 2008

Like you play with any other figure?

Bluespindash97 wrote:Is it a bot or a con? Kinda confusing, huh!

Not really. It's fairly known that he's a Decepticon.

Yeah, there was. Though, not a transforming one, but a toy is still a toy. And not in 2007, but 2008. It was a Robot Heroes figure:

I'd probably skip this one. If this is a redeco of TFTM Payload, it'd probably come with the stupid spring-loaded brick on its back. If that isn't the case, I'll definitely pick him up.

Yeah, you're gunna hate it, then.

*looks at payload back pic*

damn thats sad.... i think that just killed it for me...

Arguably one of the best movieline Bumblebee Deluxe figures, Hunt for the Decepticons Battle Blade Bumblebee is seeing a second lease on plastic life in the Takara Transformers: Lost Age Movie Advance Line AD-08 figure, with added chrome of course - and thanks to ACToys.net user Uranus, we get a nice pictorial review (along with some good shots of Optimus Prime and Grimlock, too). Check out some of the images below, and head here for more.

All this time and they couldn't fix the ax on Bumblebee. Now if you want to turn it around you have to worry about scratching chrome. Yay.

It looks really good, but two Bumblebees are enough yellow I'd like to deal with on my shelf.
