A bit more white than I would've liked, but this is still a definite GIMME! He'll go great with the Dropkick I'm planning to get.

 

that toy looks soooooo awesome

cheers for all the pics man <3

 

I'll have to see it in person...

Looks good though.

 

Cool mold, but the truck mode colors suck ass.

 

Agree. They are rather unflatering on such a cool figure. The truck mode, because of the white, looks elongated and disproportionate. That is my biggest complaint with the figure.

 

The tyres need painting

 

Atually you could look at it that he IS a movie toy. Seeing how hes pretty much the same tow truck hauling Bumblebee when megan fox says "ill drive, you shoot!" and then they just gave him a robot mode. Someone poasted a pic when we first saw this one from on set and looked about the same. pretty kewl how they did that i think. Wonder if any other non movie toys have small cameos?

 

Pretty good looking figure, but I think I'm gonna keep my movie toys exclusive to those who actually appear in the movie as characters, not afterthought background vehicles given TF treatment for the sake of more toys   Heh, the official characters are hard enough sells (for me) as it is, so I can't start considering these bonus guys, things like Real Gear, or the movie characters with G1 paint jobs. Still got Masterpieces & Titaniums to buy  

 

Looks like a completely adequate figure.  

 

I like the AAA style Autobot logo on the side, but the red lettering needs to be outlined a bit in black to make it stand out more. I'd also buy a Hoist repaint of the mold as I think it'd work even for Classics.

As for Gears. Swerve, and most importantly, Trailbreaker, I'd rather they used the Dropkick mold.

I'm also thinking that we're gonna see more movie toys (more than likely repaints) later this X-mas just around the time for the DVD of the movie would be released.

 

Really nice! Fits into the movie world far better than WRECKAGE in my opinion - Definite 'buy' for me!

 

Orson FTW!

Pretty cool design, if I do say so myself.

 

Noice!   Totally scoring this one.  

You should see if you can do the "I'll drive, you shoot" scene with the tow truck & Bumblebee,  . Will he even fit on the truck back in robot mode?

Who knows? Maybe they'll just top-off the movie line with Vide game characters with the occasional Hasbro created toys.

To come out, or that you've yet to review? Has Dreadwing come out already then?

So Orson is still alive eh? (Hasbro Corporate didn't tie him up in a basement somewhere?)

HEY Hasbro, can we get a "offical" Orson interview so we can see how he's been and how he feels about this homage?

BTW I been fooled, Ireally thought the diamond plate on the chest formed part of the tow rigging.

Anyway that bot rocks!

Definately on my short list.

 

I get it! Orson Welles required a tow truck in order to have his bulk shifted around toward the end of his life, when he voiced Unicron. Now that's comedy.

 

I'm surprised they havent released a transformer based on the coach that bonecrusher crashes through in the trailer. They would probably name it breakthrough or something LOL.

 

Its ok for an autobot. I might have to get it.

 

busbots name would be bonecrushers bitch.

 

Nice, like the tow-truck concept in that size.
