According to the instructions, neither of those things is true. In fact, the way the instructions say to make the foot actively prevents putting the stand back in. (You can make it work, but you have to rearrange a bunch of stuff.)

Also, does anyone else's Rampage have a loose right shoulder joint? I'll live with it since I'm not really likely to pose him much anyway (particularly due to the lack of elbows), but it's kind of annoying.

I've done it multiple times, never had a problem with it, but whatever

Okay, so maybe "actively prevents" was an exaggeration and I was just annoyed, but you do have to fiddle with things and move them out of the places the instructions say to put them.

...And as for leaving the shield on the finger... Am I seriously wrong for wanting something better?

Wow. About time!

I bet you don't...I bet you see them, and get Devastator all put together and think: "I bet they fit in Devy's mouth!"

what Megatron is that?, haven't they done all the Megatron's in Studio now? Or is that the 2007 Megatron we've seen already. I wish it was the BB movie Megatron.

That should be the 2007 Megatron, yes. After him, we still have AoE Galvatron and TLK Megatron. I didn't think the BB Movie had Megatron tho...

I also think we'll get another Movie 1 megatron with the right chest.

I don't remember Megatron being in the Bee movie...

He wasn't. He was cut because in continuity he was frozen during the entirety of the Bee movie.

I think he showed up in 1 piece of art, but that was it, and it was in his frozen state. We will not get a Bee movie Megatron.

And I also doubt we will get a new TLK Megatron, but I do believe that we will eventually get a Galvatron

For me, it bugged me because he was killed off before we barely got to know him (and that's even counting the fact that it was his third movie appearance) beyond the broad strokes of "likes weapons" and "is slightly psychopathic" (which ultimately became a trait of most Autobots in the first five movies, but I digress).

It wasn't until reading the Classified novels that I got to know something more personal about Ironhide that was actually kinda neat: He's closet football fanatic, and is slightly embarrassed by it, claiming that he only watches it because it makes for good study of human strategy, even though he'll sometimes get just as riled up and excited over the game as any human fan would.

Tonton review for SS Scavenger is out:

It is slightly mistransformed in the video, however. There are two side supports for the top wheel that are meant to plug in on either side, you can see them folded up on Scavenger's back in the video.

It's pretty cool to see it combined with Scrapmetal and Hightower! Hopefully soon we'll see the full combined mode.

If it wasn't for the lack of development, (which was a problem with every character and not just Ironhide) and if he was actually mourn for afterwards I think there is a great scene potential under Ironhide's death.

He was given a chance to shine the scene prior in a bad ass fight scene (whether you like it or not it's about the intent of the scene) which was all about keeping Sentinel safe from the Decepticons.

The betrayal itself from Sentinel was pretty strong and killing off the second strongest Autobot is a good way for the film to show that.

The main problem of the scene was that he was forgotten about afterwards like the gun wasn't a rust gun but a reality retcon gun.

They could of used Ironhide's death (alongside what happens with Chicago with all those human casualties) as a convincing motivation for killing Sentinel which is another controversial scene, I prefer the adaptions take where he gets shot from his rust gun in the middle of battle and he has a final conversation with Prime and Megatron before he dies, it would of been a good way to get rid of a character who probably did deserve to die after what he does in the film and it would of also been less brutal on Optimus Prime's part.

It's a shame, there are plenty of scenes that could be really good in the films but the rest of the film's make those scenes just wasted potential.
