I can't wait to get Mudflap!

 

Yes,the 2 wheels are hidden behind his chest.


door wing? You mean this?

 

Any worries with those skinny shoulder joints? Think they'll loosen over time too much?

 

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of if they have up and down movement like Skids.

A shame that the wheels aren't behind the upper arm and Hasbro/Takara didn't put in faux wheels.

Thanks for the pictures!

 

Wow, Mudflap there looks pretty tasty.

 

Hmm.... looks good! I may pick him up later on.

 

Mudflap looks really sweet! Chromia is also a step up to Arcee. Just hate that Simmon's pants still have that color difference, although it's probably not as bad as on the stock photos.

Will pick this up, thanks!

 

i am so gonna get mudflap

 

I wish they sold that blue Arcee separately.

 

Can we get a picture of the bike with deluxe sideswipe?

 

He looks so sad.

 

The only problem I have with Mudflap is that the wings on the front of the grill seem to get in the way of the arms all the time. I also worry that I'm going to snap one of them off at some point.

I really like that the twins weren't simply slight mold changes. The are both very different. Thumbs up in my book.

 

Got mine today and love him! But I noticed it was Skids who had the grappling hook in the movie. Also this is more like a spear head not a grappling hook on the figure. But still awesome. I had no trouble with the tires and here is how I have mine posed. I switched the legs around to be more accurate but it does affect transformation but I dont care as I keep everything in Bot mode anyways. I will get a second to keep in alt. mode.

But I did shave down the black connector piece for the hood so it could slide up more and reverse to minimize back kibble and not have it hang so low. Love this guy!

 

I found this dude today and I must say I am a bit disappointed. I loved HA Skids and I guess I was expecting Mudflap to be just as awesome. While I found HA Skids to be more screen accurate than the deluxe version, I find the opposite to be true for Mudflap.

-Another nitpick I have is the difference in orange plastics on him. The car mode panels are a gorgeous deep orange while the robot mode bits are a much paler orange and it looks kind of weird when the two are next to each other.

-Chromia looks good in either mode, but she is a real pain to transform back and forth.

-Simmons is by far the worst human figure, His eyes are painted black and they remind me of True Blood season 2, if you have seen it you know what I am talking about. He really does look like he is not wearing any pants.

-One thing I really do like about the figure though is his grappling line, it is a fun little gimmick and I am glad they went with that instead of a missile.

 

Excellent! Another HA Mudflap found! My hopes are getting up!

 

Just ordered mine off HTS with a 10% discount code. Now to wait just a little longer...

I got my HA Mudflap in the mail from HTS last week.
He is a lot more fiddly than HA Skids

Fiddly as in getting the chest to click into the waist is a pain.
Also, the front wheels and arms get in each others way during transformation, causing the wheels to pop off.

Don't get me wrong, Chromia looks 1000 times better than Arcee in both modes. But again, getting everything to line up in alt mode without stuff popping off is a real chore.

 

Question. HTS is Hasbro Toy Store? Because I checked it out and they still say "out of stock" right now.

 

Yep, HTS is hasbrotoyshop.com. Check it every now and then, because popular items like HA Mudflap (who has a market saturation more like a dribble) sell out fast and they don't have any announcements for when they put things in stock. Sometimes they do pre-orders, but I'm not sure what their methods are.

I just randomly checked the other day and it was in stock. I put it in the cart, searched around for a discount code, ordered, and when I checked a few minutes later it was out of stock again.
