Amazon Transformers 2 Pack to be Stormbringer Bludgeon and Ruckus Based on Seibertron Gallery

Overcracker wrote:Quite an extensive retool for Ruckus.

Only things left from Beachcomber are his arms, crotch and tires I think.

Also, are those the incorrectly applied G1 waist stickers as arm detailing?
Did Hasbro reference our very own Seibertron gallery for this?



That's hilarious if they did.



As for Bludgeon, not a fan of the powdery green and yellow, but that head, that is a work of art.

I think a darker richer yellow and green would have worked a bit better, but I know that is not accurate to the comic book appearance.

In any case, I may just break down and get this set, since I don't own any of the previous uses of the Tarn mold.

Yes, they referenced out gallery. But only because that's the image TFwiki has been using for 4 years

Ruckus is the new Hori-bull.

Nice to see they went all in on Bludgeon, new head, new chest and new pelvis. I'm glad they didn't just go with "Legacy Bludgeon, but in inner bot colors" and did something more elaborate. I guess the lackluster second set of Breakdown and Windsweeper paid for this and the Deluxe Insecticons sets to be made the way they were.

Nope, because this was a leak. It hasn't been officially announced yet.

I' really interested in that Bludgeon and Rukus set. So it's an Amazon exclusive? I'll be monitoring the listings like a hawk.

Damn, I have absolutely no interest in that Bludgeon, might sell him on Ebay or something. Or I might just buy a loose Ruckus from someone who has no interest in him. But I'm not too jazzed about this pairing in general to make me have to do that

You'll have an easier time selling Bludgeon than buying a loose Ruckus.

bludgeon is very out of left field, but awesome looking, and Ruckus looks great!

Gonna dump a lot of photos here, but I think Sandstorm may be the figure of the year for me? He has become a real favorite of mine, 2 months and I cannot put him down. He's just so good. So fun. By far my favorite figure so far this year.

Also he was popular with my niece, and I finally found cage storage in robot mode!

















I also got my Magmatron. He is super neat, and well worth the cost. the one thing that bothers me, is that he is so thick in all 3 directions he is hard to handle in your hands.








Animated Bee is really fun






Chromia is neat




I also got Target Prime, somehow my 3rd use of this mediocre mold. I like this paint scheme though, and Spot is great.






I also got my first 2 mayhem sets, and all of them are pretty nice, though Chop Shop may be my favorite bug to date

First impressions aren't good.

As fiddly as the original is, this thin is nowhere near any better.

Tabbing in the roof, is an exercise in frustration.

He's tiny, and he's not fun.
Robot mode is fine, and at least stands better than my original. but that's not saying much since my originla sideburn is 23 years old now.

This was a total miss by Hasbro. Not sure I want the other 2 Car Brothers if they are going to be this underwhelming.

You forgot to flip out a pannel under the chest for car mode, that's why there's a gap.

Just pointing out that there is something in your signature that my anti-virus REALLY don't like.

Same for my antivirus software, as well.

Thanks. Still not a good update.

Also, the roof, is not pegging in, and the right arm doesn’t like to stay tabbed in.

Ditto. I was so disappointed with mine.
