    Hey there...good potential in your review work. The Skrapnel review is so much better than Tailgate.

    One big hint...I told someone else this too...take a look at how emgo316 and Vangeles deal with the packaging. Seasoned reviewers these days have figured out one very important secret to transformer reviews. Unless it is some special 3rd party or SDCC special edition packaging, fans don't give a shit about the packaging. Take a quick look at the packaging, less than 30 seconds on that typical hasbro package and that's it! You're done. Get to the figure, and see how cool it really is!

    Enough with the tips...I have a question: I noticed that there is a huge amount of hollow space where Skrapnel has it's mouth in bug mode. I almost want to think that the camera could almost fit in there. Have you tried that? The lens looks like a perfect fit in the bug mouth.

    Anyhow, thanks for getting us this review!

    Ok, that transformation is better than I thought.

    Yeah, I'm with you on the fact that Shrapnel is the better figure. But good review on this one and it is nice to know the back story on the character. Unfortunatly I don't follow the comics as I probably should.

    Somebody should make new Shapeways shoulders and what ever else is needed to give Tailgate a cybertronian alt...

    I don't mind the earth alt tbh, though his kibble is outrageously intrusive in his Transformation. I don't see myself fiddling around with him like I do with Prowl or my Mini-Cons.
