Repaint that Brawn in burgundy and red and we got our next crossover figure: Juggernaut.

He's a bit small for Juggy, but yes, he does look the part.






But he's so much fun.

As of now, he's a robot version of Man-at-Arms.

That isn't a bad thing, I love that design

Yup. Now I need to find him a mace.

Anyway, Amazon says Wheeljack is out for delivery. Can't wait.

One more Wheeljack to add my ever growing collection of Wheeljacks. The Transdimensional Wheeljack Corps. TWC for short.

You should enjoy Wheeljack, I think he's the best of the wave, which is a really good wave by the way.

I’m going to disagree with that assesment.

Wheeljack is just O.K. I don’t particularly enjoy his transformation. Brawn on the other hand is fantastic.

I like the vehicle mode, but I still like Brawn’s more.

Getting smaller and smaller... Looks pretty good though.

I'm expecting my wave of Bee movie deluxes to hopefully ship this week. Ordered them Thursday when Ratchet was on a flash sale at $15.99, made it worth it to go that route instead of wait for the Walmart find (deluxes there are still $18.84).

Most looking forward to Brawn.

I also got the Buzzworthy B-127. Still a mediocre mold at best, but the new colors and head are pretty nice, an improvement over the original

Primevsprime put up a review of ss86 Sludge already
Looks absolutely fantastic
Transformation is awesome too

Just wondering, is it well known that core class Shockwave instructions are terribly wrong for the back half of the alt mode? Because I had not heard of it till I bought the toy today.

Don't have him, but I found Perceptor's instructions to have a lot of strange issues. To go into tank mode step one shows the microscope mode flattened out and legs highlighted with 180 degree arrow off the right side, but it doesn't say what is being moved 180 degrees (easy to figure out if you've handled a G1 figure, probably confusing if you've never touched a Perceptor before). They tried to cut down three steps into two or at least combined the wrong two steps. But that's not the strangest part. The last section shows where to peg the gun in for storage in both modes, but both pictures have a 90 degree arrow to the left and right sides even though there's nothing being turned let alone two things.

So I noticed something odd but nice on Brawn, Wheeljack and Ratchet. All 3 have 5mm ports in the bottom of their feet like nearly all WFC and SS86 figures have. I believe they are the first Studio Series non-SS86 figures to have this. B-127 and Cliffjumper have a spot that will hold a 5mm post, but it looks more like a happy accident than on purpose. I did a random check of other recent SS but non-SS86 figures and didn't find any with 5mm ports.

Got my brawn ratchet and wheeljack yesterday, they're all pretty fun, ratchet is a disaster, every joint on him is incredibly loose, can't even hold his arm up whilst holding his gun.

For anyone that has wheeljack, are his ankles fused on your copy? I can't move the ball joints on mine making him pretty difficult to pose.

On mine they aren’t fused, but are very tight specially the right one. Also, they don’t have that much range of movement anyway since they are blocked by the leg panel on one side, and the ankle hinge on the other. Ankle tilt is minimal.

Well if they aren't fused in place, then mine are so tight they feel like they are cemented in place.

got my Brawn, Wheeljack, and Ratchet.

All 3 are pretty good. Brawn was as predicted my favorite. There is so much love put into this sour little strong man. I wish the arms could pose a bit better with the bicep swivel and that his head could rotate more, but he is a lot of fun. Definitely my favorite.

Wheeljack is 2nd favorite. some parts of him feel a bit too tight for comfort, but he is solid. Love the frumpy design, and the head rocks.

Ratchet comes in 3rd. he's good, just the other 2 are better. Really enjoy his transformation, very involved and quite fun.

Wheeljack could have used some more ankle movement, but he is pretty great. I love the headsculpt a lot.

Figuring out SS Bee Movie Ratchet's transformation was quite the challenge but very fun. He really compress down to a cute little thing that looks VERY Cybertronian while still having that minivan vibes. I like it! When Ironhide gets out, I'll buy him as well. For once, both characters will be MAINLINE without one, the other, or both being exclusive bullshiit.
