Just found Breacher today along with Sunspot.....(Still have yet to find Generations Dirge). I love this lil bot, great design. Nice and tight with no QC issues. I just have one grip......What is up with Hasbro and lame color armor??? Breacher and Darkmount should both be in mor militaristic coloring!!
Awesome little guy. Had a little trouble with his legs in transformation to vehicle mode, but a little trimming at his ball joints did the trick.
Transformers have rarely been realistic colours for military vehicles, and I'm not sure he even is a military vehicle. Unless I'm mistaken he looks more like a Swat Tank, (the kind used to breach walls - hence breacher) in which case his colours are fine. Love Breacher, just need to find some weapons for him.
Back of the box says he's an Amphibious Armored Personnel Carrier, so he's probably named after the action of breaching the water or shoreline. And Breacher looks great in blue and white. Darkmount is exactly the colors he's supposed to be because he's homaging Straxus. If you want a more realistic color scheme you could get Skullgrin. ~Matt Booker
Picked him up yesterday. IMO easily the best scout ever made. A very classics-esque aesthetic to him with a great head scult and almost unlimited possibilities for badass poses.
Wow! What a great little scout! I was very surprised by how complete his alt mode is for his size. And the amount of articulation for this little guy is amazing! Rotating hands on a scout? Nice job Hasbro! Makes you wonder why some larger class figures couldnt be designed with this amount of attention... Very detailed. Very posable. Very fun little Autobot... Now, who's the repaint gonna be? Will he match up with Deep Dive?
Best basic/scout class transformer I've ever owned. They could have seriously just blown this up to a voyager class figure and no one would have had any suspicions. My favorite parts of the figure are the undocumented ab crunch and waist articulation. The final product does feel slightly cheap in a way, but the design of this figure really is amazing.
Who? By your context I'm assuming this will be a repaint of Sea Spray? But you know what they say about assuming...
Breacher is a great scout mold. The transformation can be a little fiddly and the colors are a little bland but those are small nitpicks. Definitely one of my favorite scouts.
Dang Gog, you just made me find my Breacher and mess with him. GREAT pics. I was actually shocked to find there were 8 of these at my local wal-mart today. Needless to say, I was tempted to grab a few extra.
Dont worry. He's really great, we'll see an eventual repaint... Scouts figs are quick money for Hasbro...
Theres a rumor that a new Voyager fig named Deep Dive is a repaint of Seaspray. So I'm guessing a reapinted Breacher should match that color scheme? Just a thought...
the lack of a thigh swivel just about neutered my feelings about him at first, but he grew on me. Quite the scout. His forearm Door parts are also part of the clip system, I don't know what they'll be used for yet, but they work, and the Gun clips on the forearm clips.
I just opened this guy a couple of days ago and he is amazing. His robot mode design is just cool. I love the blocks of white with the red patches on his thighs. Like others have said there is something very classical about his robot mode. His vehicle mode is surprisingly fun. His turret can move up and down, left and right. The transformation is probably the only thing that bothers me. It can be so finicky at times that at times I wish he was a deluxe so I can get that extra finger clearance to move some parts. But overall, he is up there with Knockout as one of the best scouts ever.
