Allspark Power Big Daddy

Raargh! Wish I could find these guys! I plan to get all 4 -- I just hope Divebomb's left arm doesn't suffer from floppitis like Cyb Skywarp's.

Nine per case? That's weird.

I'm trying to make a PIMP plate for him... this is about all I got so far
Interesting... Maybe it varies by location?
Like Walmart isn't a convention in and of itself
Yes, 9 per case. This d00d doesn't lie about stuff like that. It seemed odd to me, too, until I saw how it could have worked. I don't think I'll get all 4 (Divebomb is too ugly) but I might at least get one more...

Well, Mr. Sources, I've read those posts too. And seeing as you have Big Daddy and he's still in greater quantities than Grindcore, he's more shortpacked than (meh) Jolt or (bleh) Divebomb.

when i found all 4 of them last saturday i put jolt, grindcore, and divebomb down.

i keep debating on picking up grindcore but i am still not sure. kind of on my list to get all 4 but meh...

got 2 big daddy's now...one is sealed and i opened the other.

I picked up all four of them tonight. I'll give a mini-review:

Big Daddy - The best of the four. Despite the figure's poor posibility, this really is a great toy. The homage is almost spot on, and I think it actually works better for BD then it did Downshift. This is the must get figure of this set.

Jolt - I still like the semi-Alternators transformation and look to this figure, but he really doesn't add much over Crosswise. The colors are a little off, but still work pretty good for the G2 homage. My only concern was that the mold felt a little worn out. Makes we wonder what condition the Botcon counterparts will be like after the forth and fifth use for this guy.

Divebomb - Great paint job in jet mode, and I like the idea of a seeker who's not really wanted (per his bio). The gun-arm on mine is somewhat tight, and didn't really flop around as long as I didn't put him in certain poses. I know this mold has a bad wrap, but overall he's worth getting.

Grindcore - While a good figure overall, his paintjob kinda puts me off. It's not the Devastator green, since that matches with his BW2 counterpart. It's the front of his scoop painted with silver and crimson. It looks like he's been shoveling dead bodies around all day. If this was a Constructicon, I'd be fine with that, but it looks really weird on an Autobot.

I havent found these in my town yet, but I reeeeeally want Big Daddy and Jolt. Cant afford the other 2 and dont like them anyway

I have a feeling the only reason Grindcore is an Autobot is that the Landmine mold had a molded 'bot symbol.

How the Animated toy line REALLY came to an end

Nice pics!

I haven't seen anything new at retail for a long time. I wonder if I'll ever see this figure in person....

I just picked up Big Daddy barely an hour ago. Hooray for 24-Hour Wal-Marts! Even though I wanted this repaint since Downshift was released, I was a little hesitant when I had him in hand because I already have Downshift. But I got Big Daddy anyway and I'm very impressed with him. None of his joints are floppy. They're all nice and tight (especially his right heel).

I had heard reports of sloppy paint apps. And while there are little spots here and there on his head, tail lights, and running boards, none of them are bad enough to scream poor quality control. The worst it gets is two little spots of black showing through on the center of his forehead.

Even though he's part of the movie toyline, I'm thinking of making him Classics Big Daddy. I wonder if there's a TF out there with a better resemblance to G1 Big Daddy whose head I can borrow.

Wow.

I finally had the opportunity to open and play around with Big Daddy. I feel so ashamed after-the-fact for keeping such an awesome toy MISB, even if only for a day.

I never got Cybertron Downshift, shame on me, so everything about Big Daddy was new. And positive. Not even one ball joint but articulation almost everywhere there should be, and lack of waist articulation is not unusual among his "fellow" Movie toys. No crippling Cyber Key gimmick, and the opening flap for the key was an incredible touch. Missile launchers are great in hands, on shoulders, or even on the car in robot mode! Head is great and Wheeljack's ear flaps are practically invisible. Colors, of course, are perfect. Paint apps quality? There was a small smear of silver on a door, but I scraped it off, and am sure BD appreciated me cleaning up his slick paint job.

No surprise, this toy is a winner, regardless of whether or not you like Movie toys. BUY IT.

If you'll excuse me, I'm off to see if it's possible for me to do the head fix with what little I have...

EDIT: Can't, requires a Dremel or drill, and I'm not getting either. It's not like Big Daddy sucks without a rotating head, so I won't worry about it.
