Probably alt mode bits like Scrapmetal

Except that that's Demolishor, not Scavenger.

It's Demolishor who should come with a mini-Optimus.

(Dem is White, Scav is Red)

then why does the box say scavenger

Because it was Scavenger who formed Devastator's torso in the movie. Demolishor was the white one who got killed in Shanghai near the beginning of the movie.

This is Scavenger (in the middle):



And this is Demolishor:

I feel like I've been spoiled by the new SS and the new Siege products because this is just a little touch of the old with KSI, or Kissy as he's unfortunately intuitively nicknamed. Like this engineering to me feels like the step from where Transformers were before last year to where they are now. He's almost to where the current SS series and Siege figures are buuuuut...just a hair off. Not quite there. It makes me appreciate where the toys are now that much more.

Honestly, and I feel like I can be such a stickler...but it's the lack of ankle tilts that really gets me. It takes away so much dynamic posing. And with that paint that pops and the guns every where you want to get a cool saddle stance going on and a waist tilt but you don't get that here.

It's just a little thing but I've always been a stickler for little details like that. This is one that no pun intended gives the whole toy a poor foot to stand on for me.

Otherwise his guns are awesome and the jet mode looks pretty good. I love the paint and the look I mean he does look like he could be a knight-version-Gundam-type-robot. He just looks like a cool all around emotionless robot that could level the population of an average sized world.

His crotch won't stay pegged together (that's what someone said) which is super frustrating because it doesn't take much handling for his crotch to fall apart (also, said, person, order, not that in).

But I've again got to give it positive points for the transformation design because you just don't see that flipping of limbs in quite that way every day. It's definitely unique and sweet Christmas is he ever heavily armed. The cycloptic eye looks great and I love the versatility with the TR gimmick. The cockpit even fits a Titanmaster that's awesome.

All in all though, I think it's a solid $30 I would have rather saved for Thundercracker. Two out of five gravestars. This one might need to go back and find a better forever home than he'll find here.
