    Would anyone here be interested in MPM barricade for a really good deal? He's still sealed in box...only reason why im selling is because I bought a collector grade one from BBTS and prefer that one on my shelf.

    To be honest, I think I somehow managed to get him for $3, and if I hadn't, I might've skipped him. He's decent, but his plastic feels really thin and flimsy compared to other TFs. I love his vehicle mode, but I didn't start to like his robot mode until I switched his arms with DotM Cyberfire Bee. Made a world of difference.

    Also a blue clone in one of the early DotM teasers.

    Technically we never see yellow Rampage in robot mode, though, aside from concept art.

    Same problem as above, although I'll give a pass because Demolishor was red in the RotF video game. ;) 

    Also had a dump truck clone in the street battle scene with the Sideways clone.

    Ah thanks for explaining. I forgot about TRF and it's probably because I've only seen TLK once. They were really trying to confuse us.

    Makes sense, but doesn't that mean we could've seen Devastator in DOTM, AOE and TLK? I'm sure some of them would've survived.

    It does indeed. There was something a while ago (I want to say for the ride in Universal) that said Devastator could be formed again if the proper components came together again.

    Realistically, I think he'd also hate being Jungle Bonecrusher.

    I modded Prime's Blaster so the grip and magazine are closer to the back of the gun, like in the movie. I also extended the tips of the feet and added a 3/16 of heel to the back of them
    to help elongate the lower legs. I also cut away excess plastic to help with head possibility (he can actually look up a bit now.) Lastly, I added some greeble and piston detail to the inside of the thighs so they aren't as thin. Helps his silhouette overall.

    So far, do you all think Studio Series overall nailed the scale, or failed? (For robot mode)

    I'd say the robot mode scaling is pretty good. Vehicles are a bit messed up in scale, but some vehicles scale well with others (I.E: Starscream and Blackout, Brawl and Bonecrusher, Deluxe cars.)

    Overall, yes they totally nailed it. Closest line in scale we’ve had

    The constructicons should've come together in DOTM so that they could form Devastator. That honestly would've been a smart move for the Decepticons, but the amount of money it would need to see that in the movie would be crazy though :lol . Seeing the Driller and Devastator together would've been pretty epic.

    A just because pic. Lately, The Mad Punner has been striking while I'm at work so I took some emergency facepalm pics. I found this guy and decided to see if he can join that folder.

    Random Rampage. Randpage!

    I’m not interested but I just wanted to say that I love seeing how happy you are ever since we taught you about BBTS collector grade packaging :) 
    Awesome! Do you mind Being more specific about the neck mod? That’s something I’d feel comfortable trying myself.
    Man I’ve been so tempted to go back and get some of the old constructicon toys lately but it’s really just impatience for SS devastator. I ended up selling the old long haul right after I got him cause he wasn’t that great so I know I shouldn’t cave and get the others either. Mixmaster still looks so good though!

    I always imagined Movieverse Hotrod would have been a Expedition camper/ RV over a sportscar.
