Someone could come up with foldable leg panels that could plug in the holes on both sides. That would fill out the rear of the truck. Shapeways anyone?

But it's a definite pass now. Thanks for the pictures all the same, though.

Ugh. Looks fun for the kids. That's all I can say, because the legs, HUGE backpack EXTREMELY visible fake chest piece... I guess I'm disappointed the most expensive (retail priced) Prime looks to be the worst. Maybe I'm spoiled by how awesome figures like TFTM Brawl, Cybertron Prime, ROTF Prime, HFTD Starscream etc were. I guess it just seems to me a more expensive version of a character should be the best version.

I won't buy this because it really has no place in my collection... MAYBE if they make a Weaponizer Megatron, but even then, I would probably just stick with my powerizer and First Edition Primes.

Am hoping that this will be the AM21,anyone agree with me??

Picked him up today

I bought him out of desperation as I hadn't seen any new TFs for weeks. I am pleasantly surprised how fun he is in person. Very posable, although the neck doesn't move much.

The back of cab is horrible, and the very pale grey, almost white plastic used for the gun and his feet aren't very flattering, but that's about all. Overall I am happy with him. The gimmick is actually pretty cool in robot mode.

mix and match group shot

SydneyY · 06-16-2012, 09:50 AM

Thanks! I have a cousin staying in OZ right now and coming back next week. Any idea which Target and in which area? Appreciate the inputs here.

SydneyY · 06-16-2012, 10:09 AM

I hope your cousin is enjoying his stay! The weather isn't very good though.

anyway I got mine in Target Campbelltown, which is southwest Sydney metro area. Target is getting ready for a toy sale and putting some new stuff out. He's AU$59. I'm stupid and didn't wait for the sale

Thanks a ton, Syd! I will give her a tinkle and ask for a favor. She is currently studying medicine in OZ.

no worries! I hope Target in her area stocks those, too
