Okay, so my thoughts:
Brimstone: Hello custom ROTF Oil Slick. So bought.

Hubcap: Only because i'm making a movie seeker team with him, Jetfire, Ransack and any others coming out in the new toyline, I'll buy

Ravage repaint: IDK. I just sent out for the Recon repaint, and this really is nice. But, is it worth having all three of the same mold. I have the first one and the Recon one is coming.

Burning Fallen: Already have the Target version. Pass.

Seaspray: Want, bad.

 

Landmine is the Deluxe. The scout is Dunerunner.

And why do people hate this mold? As a basic sized little dune buggy transformer, he's completely solid. I don't at all see what could be bad about this figure.

 

Hubcap is brilliant. possibly the best scout ever.*

Brimstones not terrible, but the head totally ruins it for me.


*subject to retraction once in-hand

 

Totally agree, and I'd go further than that. Next to Ransack, Ejector and now Hubcap I think it's one of the best Scout molds out there, and one of the top molds in any class from last year.

My Dunerunner had a quality control problem, but even still it's fully awesome. Honestly, I just can't say enough good things about it.

Absolutely. It's better than most deluxes. It's like they've found a way to do scout class without the slightest compromise. I love how they arrange the kibble in all the right places, and the botparts are totally in tune with the vintage aesthetic set by the altmode. I think they've set a new standard here, really taken it to the next level.

And yeah, I don't like Brimstone's head either. Which seems to be kinda polarizing, cause I know some people love it.

 

Since Brimstone's head seems to be a dealbreaker, what could have Hasbro done to improve it? What's wrong with an angry skull?

 

They both look f-ing sick. Can't wait to pick them up.

 

These are both bought on sight. I hope they are packaged in alt modes, as I will probably keep them that way. The alts make these for me.

 

So far the scouts have all been packaged in robot-mode.

Never understood the idea of buying TFs to not want to transform them. But maybe I'm just weird.

 

I want a Human Alliance Hubcap figure that comes with a Pimp figure and maybe some prostitutes too, that be wicked

 

Hubcap is too classy to be a pimpmobile.

Pimpmobiles are usually something like a 70s Lincoln or Cadillac.

 

I was very underwhelmed by the mold...however, I'm starting to think that it's just wretched QC. He won't stay together in alt mode, his guns won't sit straight in either mode (they unfailingly aim at each other and he really just doesn't look all that good even when I spend half an hour trying to pose him and force hisvarious parts to behave.

 

Model T's were also red and blue - the black thing was not typical at all periods and at all manufacturing plants... it's a slightly bogus quote.
Even when the default color was black in some plants you could still order one in another color for an extra fee.

I'm reminded of this guy by Hubcap :
Racer-Bot Beta (2004) - Go-Bot - www.tfu.info

 

Hubcap is awesome. That one is a must get for me. Don't think I need Brimstone though.

 

Brimstone looks a lot better in these pics, love the head!

I'll buy both with little hesitation.

 

Hubcap is freaking amazing. Can't wait to get him and any repaint of the mold Hasbro and TakaraTOMY dishes out.

And, what's the problem with Brimstone's head?

I agree, it wouldn't look well on an Autobot, but for a Decepticon, looks great IMO. In fact, Brimstone's head reminds me of some of Go Nagai's villain robots from Mazinger and Great Mazinger.
