    Regarding Kneegate, it's a shame they didn't go with the Wei Jiang oversized Legends version which has knee joints. He was pretty good!

    Oh I just found out about this. I wanted to check out the Devastator mold but didn't need another big green guy, so I'm looking forward to this coming out!

    Alright this may be posted in the wrong section but here's my question: is Uncle Billy Shop a good place to buy from? I saw that he has the Transformers Prime Megatron upgrade kit U.S. version in stock but had never ordered from there.

    You're right, it does look like the knee-pad is in a different position, though it could just be the angle of the picture. We're still not 100%

    It's definitely a different mold than the Cyber Battalion leg, but the ankle section looks rather similar in build, so who knows? I agree that it seems silly to bother replacing the leg styling if you're not going to fix the issues with the original legs.

    Maybe if these ever actually get released, we'll be able to know for sure. :) 

    I don't have them available to take pictures this moment, but Brawl is a slightly smallish voyager in bot mode. If you're thinking of adding him to your CW set, I've already considered this myself. It's not impossible, but it would require some work. The connector socket on Brawl has no knee joint (that's on the Onslaught side).

    If you can figure out the connector issues, you can partially mistransform his leg mode, and actually use the flip-out foot panels to stabilize him. He can be the right leg-length while not requiring a foot extension. However, he'd still be a lot wider than the Swindle leg, so Bruticus would still look a bit uneven.

    I’d say it’s a good place to buy from. I usually order from his ebay store and have found him a reliable seller, but have used his stand alone site as it’s usually cheaper than ebay unless there’s a flash sale happening. The only issue I had once when I ordered from his site was that I didn’t get any notification that my order had shipped, but I received my order just fine and he responded to my emails about it.

    The leg’s base is from the legends figure.

    He's nice enough - though I'd like some other heads if he ever gets repainted - consider they released it 3 times in the same colour it's about time they repainted it.

    Only superficially, though... the construction of the whole foot area looks quite different, so they haven't cloned the structure of the Generations Legends Seekers. That's why all bets are off.

    Hii!! Guys: WHAT ARE THESE?! XD I saw them today and..they are tempting. They need a LOT of painting but the molds are adorable.
    Have any idea where these bootlegs came from? Thanks. Oh! The price is like...4 dollars. Maybe 3.

    Kind of want to see a stop motion of the OP and Megatron in a recreation of their fight in the 86 movie...except in a playground. :D  :D  :D 

    "Prime!"
    "One shall stand...one shall fall."
    "Why throw away your lunch money so recklessly?"
    "That's a question you should ask yourself."
    "No! I'll pummel you with my liddle digits!"

    I'm not sure their little arms could even reach beyond their enormous heads.
