    The Evac and Rampage redecos are cool, but the new Ravage doesn't look all that different from the current version. I guess we can't expect much more from a mail-away.

    GORGEOUS Ravage repaint.

    I hope Canada gets it. If we don't, I'll be making arrangements to get it.

    Not only does revealing the offer and the booklet mark the triumphant return of new content on BWTF, my oldest TF haunt, it also nicely circumvents the dick move attempted by The-Arker.

    I liked the Ravage, but never really felt the urge to pick up the original. With this darker and almost bloodied color scheme on the new one, I'm warming up to it much more. And there's certainly other NEST toys I'd buy anyway, so I guess I'll be going for one!

    The NEST Evac is cool, but we already got that color scheme and name on another helicopter. On the other hand, the Blackout mold is arguably a worse figure (could go either way, personally), so it's cool for Evac fans to have an alternative.

    Not seeing a huge difference between the Ravage we are getting and two Legends recolors in terms of "exclusive characters", not to mention somebody totally new would probably be viewed as more of a dick move by Hasbro than an alternate version of an existing character.

    I know. I meant more that, this is the first time in a long while that I'm aware of BWTF having the scoop on every other site out there. It's a refreshing change of pace.

    Yay for double post!

    That is a HAWT Ravage repaint. Definitely worth buying the barely-different Bumblebee redeco for. Evac and red Rampage are pick-ups as well.

    Hasbro really needs to quit it with reusing names from the same continuity, though. Reusing names for different lines (or for toys in the same line that are meant to be the same character) makes enough sense, of course, but there's already an Evac in the 1st movie line. And a Divebomb, and a Jolt, and a Mudflap.

    Awww. Such a waste of a mail-away with a crappy mold that can't transform into anything useful (a la Scorponok). PASS.

    Evac looks awesome. Definite purchase.

    Really glad I held off preordering Rampage from Japan. I'll just need to get Demolisher unless Hasbro announces a repaint.

    So if all the figures in the line come with stickers towards Ravage then....

    Already planning on getting Lockdown, Bludgeon, and Mindwipe so that's 3 right there, looks like I'll have no problems with getting the mail away Ravage.

    Yeah... that's a big NO on the mail away exclusive.

    I think I've transformed movie Ravage once and that's it. And, I may sell it if the legends mold is cool.

    And agreed, glad to see BWTF.com back in the spotlight. I felt very honored over the weekend when Ben told me congrats on getting married on Facebook :) 

    Love his site!

    EDIT: yeah, I don't like this mail-away, but I certainly hope that more mail-away figures await us in the future. Exclusives like this are a pretty cool idea
