    I guess you got a point there, the only part on Backstop I can think would go floppy would be the hip joints, and I'm not even sure about that. But if my Thundercracker starts floppin I'll no what ta do. Oh, before I forget, I think Thundercracker has loads of charm, but I guess it all boils down to personal opinion.

    Couldn't have said it better.

    The rhino mode is actually pretty cool, but the robot mode is the worst robot mode on a TF since Armada Hot Shot...the shit-eating grin is horrible! But overall, it is a basic and I can forgive smaller tfs

    Final grade is a C-/ D+

    I like Backstop. Nice little rhino, different transformation, and a robot that has lots of character, even if his feet do look sideways!

    I like him! :rock

    I got him last night , I like him. He is unique and I dig it. The only thing to make him perfect would be if we could point his feet forward. All in all this odd little guy has made my list of faves for the year.

    I like him because he reminds me of G1 Ramhorn!

    I like him, because once I transformed the arm that makes up the rear. I thought of only one thing.

    Butt Shovel.

    can it be a zombie thread when it is a feedback thread? actually quite helpful that they did, i am debating getting one for a custom, and since the custom is a stupid-bot, i think it will work

    I think zombie threads in feedback are allowed, since everyone's entitled to give their own feedback on a figure, and not everybody gets them when they're released.

    Indeed. Especially considering some countries get figures released months after others have had them and got bored of them.

    And now this thread has made me want to dig my Backstop out.

    ooer...

    But I still love it. :D

    I expected him to SUCK(!!!)
    ... but he's not so bad. (Better than Armada anyways! =D)
    He's better than most G1 and is on par with some Cybertron, and he is the only rhino besides Rhinox to actaully look like a rhino!
    BTW, he's $3 in my sell thread! :p
