WANT. Pure win...I am a huge fan of TF's with heavy weapons and he fits the bill.

Good idea, then make a SquawkTalk or whatever and make a fan combined mode!
Or something...

Anyhow, he looks awesome, as I made up a character with a similar altmode(maybe the same) this gives me a good idea of transformation.
I still say Wreckage retools would make better MindSets...

While I doubt I'll be getting this guy, I must say his transformation is packed with some excellent goodies: the flip-open missile pack reveal, the folded tank tread reveal of the arm, and the shoulder fold-down are all really nice touches, as is the head mobility. Kudos Has-Tak!

Ive always enjoyed Peaugh's videos. In each of Peaugh's videos, he "burps" every 2 or 3 minutes. Its a silent burp, but you can hear it when he takes a breath every 2 or 3 minutes. I think he reviews after he eats.

Id like to know what he does for a living where he gets all these new toys "first". It's awesome.

Anyone noticed that this reviewer can almost never get figures to stand?

And once again Mykltron can only whine about Peaugh's review. At this point... here's a hint... STOP WATCHING HIS REVIEWS if you hate them so much.

But seeing the inevitable complaints from you about each of his reviews is damn annoying. We get it already, you don't like him, he killed your first born, blah blah blah. :BANG_HEAD:

Last I checked his video reviews are still better then your nonexistent video reviews.

There is just something about Hailstorm that makes him a total buy. I may even buy two, one for pure "rip open the box and transform away" and another for customizing (I'm thinking of a Gundam crossover...oh the blasphemy!). The hand articulation, the missile pods, the lumbering stance. All wins here. :APPLAUSE:

If you read my review in that other thread, you'd quickly realize that you might not want that toy so bad after all. Not a good figure imo, robot articulation is just weird and the tank mode doesn't hold together very well, takes lots of massaging to get it right.
