    Aside from the cyber-key, does the toy have any 'Con symbols painted on?

    Very nice, but this is a pass as I'm trying to cut back on re-paints and I kinda like the original cybertron color...

    Nice review on this figure

    He's got one painted on in silver on the crane section but with all the yellow it's really hard to see.

    See?. Easy to cover up with a reprolabel though.

    @ Wingsbr:
    I never got the original mold so I figure this was as good as any. *shrugs.*

    grapple is more like it

    it would have been awesome if they had rereleased mudflap as a 2 pack classics universe grapple inferno set with mudflap being recolored as both of them

    Can the crane be removed from the arm at all? I love his bot mode and head sculpt and colors, but that crane arm completely turns me off.

    Maybe with a screwdriver, or a big enough hammer. :)

    Working crane parts are wonderful. I didn't go for the original version of this, I guess I just didn't like it in blue.

    Finally picked up this one at TRU the yesterday.
    I covered over the lone Decepticon symbol with a white backed reprolabel Autobot symbol.
    Now he's (Road)"Hauler, pull 'em up!". :D 
    Or maybe Grapple? LOL

    Oh, and by the way, I really like it. :thumbs2: 
    I just think he should have been an Autobot. Just my opinion.

    I love him, but it's just too bad he's not an Autobot, he'dve made a great Erector, ah well.

    That's what Repolables is for, or you can probably remove the 'con symbol with some rubbing alcohol. I'd get this if I didn't have the original.

    Sorry about the zombie thread, but I finally got around to fixing my Mudflap. The pictures are bad, but all I did was put the arm in very hot (almost boiling) water and use a hammer and a very small screw driver to knock the pins out of the latches. There are plenty of pegs to keep the crane attached in vehicle mode and it looks much better in robot mode.
