Yizhi521 of TF08.net has posted new images of Skids and Mudflap in their Ice Cream truck Alternate and Robot modes. It is unknown what class and price point the two figures will have, but from the comparison photos, the Ice Cream truck looks like a Deluxe.
Hmmmmmm, I don't really see what's so good about this pair. Heads as hideous as always and both of them have such thick, fat kibble-plates on their arms. Heck, it even looks as if Skids' left arm's nothing more than a plate. Have to admit though, the concept is certainly interesting and no such fanciful alt-modes have been done in quite a while.
The alt mode is fantanstic (fuck the comic sans however) the bots on the other hand are quite poor, compare them to the amazing ROTF scouts that are out - and really, there's no excuse for such poor bot modes considering they each just have to fold up into a box.
Still, based on their uniqueness alone they are on my 'To Buy' list... but not at the top.
The alt mode is interesting and the micromaster combination gimmik is cool but the figures are just hideous. Different heads and a better paint job might have made this a buy for me but this is just another $12 saved. So in the movie are they the truck first then get their car modes or are they cars first?
