    I really like this, but the helicopter should be more of a grey color?
    Come on Takara, make it so :)

    My only gripe with Battletrap is that I got used to the Marvel Comics using that half-faceplate head, so he looks weird with an exposed face based on the toy's. But since Roadtrap has that head, the hommage is there after all. ;) 

    Btw, anyone else felt that disturbance in the Force? When a thousand Botcon Battletrap owners cried out were suddenly posting their toy on Ebay? :D  (seriously, looking for the new toy on ebay brings up a lot of the Springer repaints...)

    Also, seeing the G1 toy face reminds me, anyone ever had these Micro Metamorph KOs? I always called him "Cyrano de Battletrap" because for some reason, they replicate the G1 toy perfectly, but enlarged Battletrap's nose to Pinochhio levels. :D

    Really? Seriously, this could not be more G1 accurate. It's light grey just like the G1 toy. Hasbro did an awesome job with the colors lately - I just took photos of Pounce and Wingspan next to the G1 ones, and their blues and whites are the exact shade, even!

    I'm hoping the usual suspects will come through - Nonnef, Renderform, Toyhax, Dr. Wu or even something on Shapeways.

    I have that prickly heat talcum powder, it's very effective against heat rash.

    Agree battletrap and the clones are virtually spot on. Love them.

    Except for their size, unless one is a Legends scale collector. Otherwise, they don't work for any collection beyond that.

    Just got mine, I'm pretty happy with it sure I have nitpicks, but this is a unique concept at this size and I really appreciate it.

    Criticisms:

    - They need guns and the guns need to combine.
    - Truck mode tailgate could be a little better.

    Not mine but since my store has like a dozen sets of them I'm kind of tempted to buy them if nothing at all to buy something TF related for once (Tailgate has been my only mainline purchase since wave 1 came out). I'm hoping Weijiang or someone would KO them and upscale them though. That would be just about perfect.

    Other then that, anyone want to trade a set of Battletrap for wave 2 Prime masters? I can hook you up! lol

    Mainly works for me because I simply see him as a deluxe figure that splits into two little robots as a bonus :p

    LOL, true dat. in the face of POTP Battletrap, the botcon stand-in is just an embarrassment to display when you think about the price and that its a repaint. I mean, who wanna put on display proof that they were suckered...

    Also, metalhawk, elita-1, overlord, etc Hasbro so much better than botconjobs
