Does anyone have a link to this thread?
I originally doubted all the listings when i first saw that thread... But damn, it has been spot on. Would really love to go see what figures the poster listed that we have yet to hear off...

There was another one last year i believe. someone did a name dump of every figure, no indication of size.
Probably was using a throwaway account as an anonymous tip off

That was a very cool commercial. Even though I understood only the few English words here and there. Is that a normal length commercial or just a promo video of some sort. If that's a normal length commercial the only word that comes to mind is tevo.

I think that was actually four commercials compiled into one video.STngAR wrote:jON3.0 wrote:

But why no Deluxe Ratchet in his first-two-movies deco? Would've thought that'd be obvious! XD Along with Soundwave in a better, more accurate metallic grey...!

Oh well, they appear to have just started, so hopeful for any future waves! ^^

I think that's all we'll be getting with Legacy Figures (4 for each movie). After AD18 and AD19, we're getting AoE figures again, including Leader Grimlock, Lockdown, Galvatron and Hound.

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.

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!

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.

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.
