Yeah, me and another fan noticed that at BotCon while checking them out at the Hasbro booth. If you check the back of his card, the figure in that picture actually still have the gimmick functional. I'm guessing it was cut for cost.

Certainly not the only dead gimmick in the ROTF line, Starscream's "pop out" missile launchers come to mind...

Doesn't look like an intended gimmick to me. But the pictures made me remember that i promised Sideways that i would give him a good hand of silver paint in a lot of parts. And a black ink washout afterwards.

Good find indeed.
Speaking of and this may have already been discussed, but what's up with that block chunk in Chromia's undercarriage that folds out (attached to the kickstand)? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Thems the combo tab.
It's used to combine with Arcee and the unreleased Flare up.

That's more or less why I don't bother with these figures.

I wish I could find a Camaro for "$32,00". That would be pretty awesome! jk

that has to be a dead gimmick.
I looked at mine, and there was no way that couldn't have not been a gimmick.
shame.

When I saw the title of this thread, I completely thought it was about something else.

Ditto! My Sideways and Dead End look a hell of a lot better now. Thanks!

I don't think either of you where being snippy or smartassed btw.
