    One of the easiest passes for me ever. The alt mode is fantastic, but the bot mode is one fo the laziest designs ever. I absolutedly loathe car-wearing bot modes, which is why I didn't like the DotM Wreckers either, and this just looks like another weak figure.

    I'm happy with my legion version.

    Soundwve, Wheeljack, Leadfoot now him. It's a shame their making these toys impossible to get in the states. I don't want to have to pay 60 $ and over for a figure that would cost only 11 $ dollars at a Target shop, Hasbro needs to plan better marketing stradegies.
    When advertising their figures. I' am not really looking forward to this figure that I have to over pay for, but I'll try to get my hands over this guy when I can. Hopefully it won't be long before he's on HasbroToyShop.

    He looks cool, but I just don't need him. I got the legion and I'm happy with it :)

    It won't happen, it's a park exclusive.

    It's not like this figure is going to go away any time soon. I don't see the urgency to have to buy one. This ride will be around for 15-20 years, and as there as there is a ride, there will most likely be a figure to go along with it.

    Not bad, just your average deluxe Transformer. I'll pick one up, if a version of it gets released in a regular store.

    I hope to get it eventually when it is released in Singapore and hopefully see if I can make human alliance figures of myself and my wife as a memento for attending the Transformers Ride few months ago.

    I'd buy it as a souvenir if I were able to go to the ride, but as it stands I'm happy with the Cyberverse figure.

    I need to get me one of these sometime.

    I also can forgive the fact half the alt. mode sits on his back, due to the double door gimmick and the fact this is an alt. mode of an amusement park ride vehicle, which makes said gimmick a necessity.

    When I get mine, I plan on popping on of the pins from the back kibble and use it as a shield.

    I really hope he gets repainted and released in the regular lines out side of Universal Studios. $21 is a ransom for something that should be just $10 :/

    Got one of these from firehawc_69 off eBay. Definitely a really cool toy. The vehicle mode is kind of neat, but borders on somewhat boring; understandable considering it's based off of the thing people sit in for the TF ride. The colors are nice, though, and I like that you can see the seats through the translucent windshield.
    The robot mode is the highlight for me. It looks a lot cooler than most of what we got for DotM Deluxes. I especially like the built-in weapons: the guns on each forearm and the two on his hips. No need for goofy MechTech nonsense, though he can hold MechTech weapons and also sports C-clip bars for additional armament. While he may take design cues from Roadbuster, it's not too noticeable. What I notice more is the similarity between Evac's head design and Sideswipe's.
    Overall, if you can get this for a price you're comfortable paying, it's worth it. Decent alt mode, great robot mode, cool souvenir if you're picking it up at Universal.

    Ughhh...more non-pinned wheels.

    That isn't a good sign.

    mine arrived in the mail today! I noticed the package art shows some kind of shoulder mounted gun, I may use some of the clip weapons from skullgrin to arm him a bit. The gun should fit on his shoulder bar.

    but if that happened, to you, the one at the store would be ransom, as the stores sell deluxes for $14, plus. youre still screwed.

    One of the most boring transformers I have ever seen.

    I'll second what this guy said. He's got some junk in the trunk and his vehicle mode is at the same time interesting and boring (very boxy) but really I can't help but feel like he's a very striking figure to look at. The blue with green and silver details is very vivid and he's got some really nice sculpting in both modes. You can tell that a lot of love went into his design even though it's not a very exciting vehicle to look at. I also thought he looked a lot like DotM Roadbuster and while he does share a few similarities he's still a very different figure.
