I wish Walgreens would put Ratchet up. I need three of them. I wonder how hard it would be to remove the black paint on his forehead so I can paint the helmet red...

Nice!!! 


Brunt goes on a rampage.

 

That Ratchet is Amazing. The closest Walgreen's is 500 miles away, so I hope he's available online...

 

I am all in on Ratchet.

I remember browsing Walgreens last year looking for Wreck-Gar, finally caving and getting one off eBay...and then of course started seeing them in the stores about a week later. Hell, I saw THREE Wreck-Gars in a Walgreens the other day.

 

I'll be honest, I was expecting more. When I saw the SDCC unveiling and how it's basically a "sorta finished" camera with that...shield(?) thing on there and the flash that literally does nothing but sit there as a flash, I was incredibly disappointed. This current Reflector ticks all of the right boxes. Show accurate? Check. No muss, no fuss camera mode with built-in flash? Check. I think the problem with boxset is that it's trying to be something it's not and do something it wasn't really made for. When I realized the additional parts were just pegged into the shoulders and not actually molded in/on and it's what I already have...  

That said, $10.00 for the extra parts ain't bad and I will give Hasbro credit there. They could've easily cranked it to $75+

I'll be sticking with toon accurate Reflector, though. They look great!

 

Could Lancer be a far removed relative of Wheelie?

 

"Whaaat? That doesn't look like a camera. Maybe, like, a 90s camera." (I should note that "the 90s" is my daughter's catch-all term for "an extremely long time ago")

 

It’s made from stranded speaker (copper) wiring mashed together.

 

34 is Ratchet
44, 45, 46, and 47 will be (in no particular order) Rung, the new silver Battlemaster repaint, Direct Hit and Power Punch 2pack, and Spy Patrol 2 (with Ratbat and Rumble/Frenzy).

 

Where is Seige Barricade being sold? Is he out yet?

@DanC Cute picture. I take it you need all 3 Reflectors to make the camera?

 

I'd like to know the answer to that question as well...

 

There's no pre-order links yet for Barricade or SS Hightower. Barricade is the only Prowl re-mold my son likes.

 

I believe Barriciade is part of the next deluxe wave with Impactor and Mirage. However, just like with Brunt and Refraktor, there don't appear to be any pre-orders. Those guys just showed up on pulse the same day as their wave mates, so we may just have to sit tight until someone uncovers an Amazon listing or something.

 

Amiami has him. RK too, think.

 

Sweet Primus, those lovebirds look cute together. I might consider picking her up sometime.

 

And to think prior to its release, a lot of so called "experts" were razzing the mold for all those "details". Heck, too many details it kind of overshadows even the MP Starscream mold ver2.

 

I was going to pass on him until I saw him in store. He looks awesome. I had to pass on him at the time but I have my eye out hoping to see him again.

 

What? When? How? Amazing!

 

 Sweet! It’s nice to see he isn’t just a repaint with a headswap, there’s a bit of retooling going on, plus new accessories!
