    *sigh* I think I've caved and now have to get Outback and Swerve too. And Tailgate. Damn IDW, making me love characters I cared nothing about previously...



    I hope Outback pops up in MTMTE. At least then the purchase would be justified :p

    What are these typically priced at?

    Can I just say, good on you James Roberts, for making this many people care about this 3rd Party Swerve figure just so much, if they go and make a Tailgate, know that it was because your characters are THAT good.

    Thank you good sir.

    I love you...

    Igear price 33.99 ea free shipping but you are forced to by the pair.

    Pipes was one of the original 8 silhouetted. I hope he is an original mould with the new bigger size. Then they can reissue him as upscaled Rager.

    YEA-........no

    I got so excited when I read the title. But then all I saw that was "new" were repaints......all excitement was lost.

    You do know that 1) Not-Beachcomber is all new and 2) the others have new remolded parts/heads and 3) this is exactly what these characters looked like in G1.


    -ZacWilliam, it's like being annoyed that Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker share a mold. :p

    Beachcomber is new.

    Outback has a new head.

    Swerve is new from the top of the chest up. The head and the (idk what to call them) neck-guard/shoulder things are new too.

    Plus it's Swerve.

    Shouldn't it be Duneraker and not Dunerunner?

    So does IGear have a Mini Warrior Subscription plan? I could sure use the option to pay in installments. :)  I wonder if they have plans for Powerglide, Warpath, Hubcap & Wheelie?

    They teased several others in this outline...

    You can clearly make out the Dreamwave MTMTE profile pictures of Pipes, Wheelie and Powerglide.

    Hubcap and Wheelie would interest me... Seeing Wheelie as a Jazz redeco bugs me... poor Jazz. LOL

    Beachcomber looks neat. Gears/Brawn do want. Would be nice if they revisited/resized the Huffer/Spray bots too.

    I like him in the one episode of G1 I remember him being in (and thus he'll be displayed with Blaster as a result), but really there's no attachment to this guy. He's received less characterisation (though I haven't read the full Marvel run, anything there?) than most- even Swerve and Tailgate at this point! I suppose, apart from being distinctly Australian, he was pretty non-descript.


    :lol
