    The "Nipple Action" made this a definite buy

    ROTF Thrust and Dirge will have to make do and be Universe Thrust and Dirge

    I went from hating this figure to loving it. The transformation is really cool. Especially the head

    I didn't see if anyone asked or if it was mentioned, but what about knee articulation? Is there any and is it any good?


    I know they said 2010 for these, but I have a sneaky feeling at least this bunch of new figs will be out sometime this year. Is there anything else we know of due out soon in the deluxe class? It seems like a loooong time to go through with nothing but exclusive repaints to keep us going.

    So far this looks like it will be one of my favorite figs in the line. Not to mention a good way (and cheaper) to fill out the holes in the Classics/Universe seekers collection.

    Screw 2010....bring 'em on now!

    Yeah, he's got knees. They're limited a bit by the wings, but they ARE there.

    Anyone got a comparison with Classics Ramjet and ROTF Thrust ?

    Wow, that looks really good. Transformation of the waist/hips area kinda reminds me a little of Cybertron Sideways. Kinda.

    He's cool, but I don't like how the wings are transformed on his legs.. I think they couldn't been improved a little.. But other than that, very unique and fun transformation. Nipple action is a bonus IMO. :D 

    How's the right arm articulation like? And would ROTF Thrust be a better buy than Dirge?

    Right arm articulation isn't that bad, really. A little limited, but not too much. And I'd definitely pick Dirge over Thrust.

    I know its already in retail, and I just bought one myself for my own gift.

    Awesome fig, G1 Conehead Seeker Design and Movie design fusion indeed, and looks real good, very detailed, complex transformation.... 2 launchers... and Spinning nipples Lolz!

    But try splitting the top of his head a bit, he kinda looks like Cyclonus.

    Nice review Peaugh as always, I always watch your videos before buying any TFs in any size class.
