    Am I the only one that thinks that all the new movie figures look like shite?
    Hell, I'm probably gonna pass on all of them, even Soundwave

    I like the biplane. I also agree on a Red Baron repaint version. That would be spectacular.

    ...It's coming from over in the Radicons section.

    Which makes it a very appropriate name re-use! He even has the right color scheme for a G1 Ransack homage.

    they both look bad, ransack is kind of neat but a whole lot of leg kibble with depthcharge, that shade of color blue just makes him look so unfinished.

    The plane ... well the vehicle mode looks nice. The robot mode ... well, let's just say they should have named him OliverTwisticon.

    The boat vehicle mode looks good. The vehicle mode is lacking paint detail and, well, he looks like walking is going to be an issue. :drunk

    I'd have to Say that I've really been impressed with all the Scout pics I've seen so far, But I'm TOTALLY loving Ransack.

    I cant wait to get them, but for me, the real deal maker/braker is how fun is it to transform. That's what I'm waiting for on these.

    The name MUST be a reference to the G2 Ransack, who is the only other TF in history to turn into a vintage prop-driven fighter plane (a WWII Corsair). I'm not loving the engine being where the machine guns should be, but otherwise, holy crap! What a wacky-cool figure!

    He's covered in camo, and has a painted windshield and tampoed Autobot symbol. I'm not sure what you guys are expecting on Scouts, but this seems like plenty to me.

    Too bad that it looks like they gave up on Depth Charge's legs.

    Ransack's robot mode doesn't look like an insect, but a mummy. Seemingly dried up, emaciated body, shriveled face. Possible Egyptian connection?

    Good point! He's an homage to both G1 and G2 Ransacks.

    Man... a biplane, a delivery truck, and a forklift in one line. If there's a school bus ROTF toy, this line is the new-vehicle-mode champ.

    EDIT: Forgot about Liftor, but eh... he wasn't a real-looking forklift.

    Movie Scout Storm Surge is a Sea Spray homage. Have you considered that? Depthcharge would be more like a Beast Wars homage (Manta Ray).

    Ransack is really bizarre, in a good way. There's something crazily charming about these Scout-class "off-camera" Movie characters...

    If only there'd been a Dispensor figure as well. Ah well ;)

    Once again, I cannot wait to see Ransack in movie form, or at least in game form (because, face it, there WILL be a game.)

    I dunno what's more hilarious to me - Ransack's limbs, or the fact that he's a Decepticon. Poor guys!

    I demand he have TFA Blitzwing's normal voice.
