    Nah, I don't hate bright colors. I'm a huge G2 fan and one of the few people who will proudly admit to owning Actionmaster Thundercracker. I just preferred how Rung looks in the packaged photos of the Hasbro version.

    I have no idea who decided that frenzy was an acceptable mold. This line has been aces so far but that frenzy needs to go back to the drawing board

    I could see it sold as a 2 pack later on as cartoon decos and accessories probably even reversing the names.

    Maybe he does have elbows i remember him at least looking alot better then these "Hasbro pictures".


    Armor mode?

    No. Cyclonus is a helicopter not a chopper but more importantly he has the helicopter front as his front chest/abs area. His arms are the.only thimg similar.


    If you want them to make a Legends/deluxe of him then you might want to support the $5 release. Hasbro puts out the small one to guage interest, if there is lots of interest they release the larger one. You get bored quickly though lol


    For someone with the name and avatar of MISFIRE a pinkish jet that doesnt look real life at all thats a strange thing to say. But to answer your question hes got pinned joints everywhere, + they did something neat with his leg transformation (im guessing one fits inside the other)

    plus he looks dead on to his likeness.

    When did we get Quake? I can't recall

    Thats backwards Hasbro thinking. They also keep the popular of the 2 of the same molds to the 2nd release.

    Wait til hes properly posed. Dont trust a Hasbro picture.

    Titans Return. Even though his body was just a repaint of Hardheads, they did an amazing job on the head sculpt for him.

    What? o_O 
    Last I checked, both those words described the same type of vehicle.
    Different variants, sure, but all helicopters in the end.

    Oh I get the whole "Take one for the team" logic. But in my defense I have about 90% of what's already been released for Siege/Select with over $400 in upcoming Siege figures still pending this year. Maybe I'll change my mind once I see an upclose look at him in stores but overall I just don't care for any of the Seige Battlemasters.

    Plus I'm sure he'll get enough sales to warrant more versions of him despite my reluctance.

    Rung will be the only battle master I skip, unless bbts only sells singe as a set with him. Even then I may return him to walmart after I get a look at him in person. But yeah, I don't have any attachment to rung at all.

    Oh i must of got him then unless he was towards wave 3 & up.i switched to Takara because Hasbro has horrible paint jobs imo. Just looks way better now that its global happy.family & Takara is definitely influencing the decos now.

    Speaking about deco. SPINISTER is looking dope with that deco, and all his joints pinned is awesome!

    Pretty sweet you have the original and i like that his head turns. :)  Quake looks nice. No i don't have him. :( 

    Yeah collecting we have to be careful i hear ya it can be a slippery slope for many im sure! No doubt. I just saw how they took characters like Apeface for example give him a Titan MASTERS release to gouge interest, then later on release a voyager. Same with Skytread, Brawn, Fangry, Clobber/Grimlock ect.

    A Chopper is a (type of) Helicopter, but a Helicopter is not a chopper. ;)

    Looking at that pic of G1 Quake, seems more like that's where you'd see an Impactor retool.
