    Hopefully. If it's supposed to be the BW character in an alternate universe where the accident never happened, then it makes absolutely NO sense to still call it "Transmutate" right?

    Hell, let's freaking name it ourselves if FunPub won't. Hmm, let's build on "Sandy", her colors, and her alt mode being a motorcycle and come up with something off road or motorcross related for a name? Sandstar? Sandblast? Dunerunner?

    Well, none of the other Maximals were named in the fiction for the 2006 set. Just the toys. Maybe they should call her Axalon Transmutate.

    Not a fan of Transmutate. I would have just left her alone.

    I really like the idea behind Rampage but the head shouldn't look so organic, and I wish they'd been able to switch up the weapon.

    And how does this new Transmutate have anything to do with that episode?

    If anything, this new Transmutate is for those who didn't like the original Transmutate.

    For me to justify the kind of $$$ these exclusives go for I need to hae an attatchment to the character. It may be a different reality version of Transmutate buit that just doesn't cut it for my wallet :)

    Absolutely in love with the Rampage and going to get it.

    Transmutate I'm more iffy on. Unlike the others I can't really repurpose her as the actual Transmutate from BW, given Transmutate had a pretty clear start and end. I like how the figure looks, but I typically buy figures based on my personal attachment to them (so not many redecos, etc). Just depends, I guess.

    Transmutate, for me, is a beautiful figure. I applaud the club in resurrecting a character that would NEVER see the light of day pass the build-a-figure Hasbro release. Great colours, and compliment the Arcee mold well.

    We now need Silverbolt, Quickstrike, Terrorsaur, Tarantulas, and Scorponok, and we'd have a pretty updated BW team. As a fan who grew up in the beast era, this is all kinds of exciting.

    Rampage has a good color scheme mock up but i wouldnt buy simply because the original is so much more bad ass. Just not the same without his crab legs and what not. Transmutate looks good too but not enough to justify the price theyre gonna ask. The character just wasnt that memorable as well.
