    I hope she bought jetfire.
    Also how dumb is it that we are hated for having different tastes than someone? I hate no one if they like stuff I dont. I may not like it but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to like it. Example would be teen titans go,
    Anyways heres grimlock

    Someone asked for a comparison of all the current constructicons. I have all 4 except hightower, so here goes.
    Best is probably rampage. He's just overall fun to play with. He's also pretty large.
    Scrapmetal is honestly pretty dope too. He's not the coolest looking or the must fun, but he is the most solid of the three I got.
    Longhual was the one I was most excited for, but hes not my fav. He looks freaking dope, and is chunky as hell. But he also has a good chunk of kibble.

    Found myself a good price on Facebook for a MPM Megatron so inspired by the words of Donna and Tom from parks and rec I treated myself and he’ll be arriving in a couple days! Cannot wait.

I apologise for the poor quality and posing as I'm still warming up on his poses.

    ROBOT MODE: The robot mode is very accurate to the model where Dropkick first arrived in Earth. This figure is much superior in every way compared to Helicopter Dropkick. The headsculpt is very detailed and accurate. The overall design captures Dropkick as a character very well. His stocky stature as compared to Shatter works very well and looks like one not to be messed with. The details on the torso are excellent! And the fact they managed to get the wheels into the torso is an extremely well design. His weapon also has amazing detail and looks badass to pop some humans.

    ARTICULATION: The articulation is pretty solid for a deluxe movie figure. Ball jointed head, ball jointed shoulders, bicep swivel, 90 degree elbow bend and wrist bends inwards for transformation, ball jointed hips, thigh swivel, 90 degree knee bend and double jointed ankle forward and back movement for transformation. Pretty solid articulation and can get him into many poses. On my copy, the hips are a little loose and the arms are way too tight.

    TRANSFORMATION: Transformation is very fun and intuitive. It has one of the most complex and satisfying transformations in the line for deluxes. The fact all the parts move around so much and achieves very faithful modes is an amazing feat.

    VEHICLE MODE: I think they nailed this one! The vehicle mode is amazing! Its extremely accurate to the film and it paint used is really good! The shiny metallic black and blue paint looks really well done like a premium figure and the details were all not skipped out. I have no flaws for the vehicle mode and it is a badass one.

    Overall thoughts on the figure: This is an amazing figure no doubt! It was definitely worth the hype and worth every cent! Although he has some QC issues on my copy and there is a gap in the head for mine, he is still a solid figure. I definitely recommend this figure to everyone who likes Dropkick and is a fan of the movie designs. This is the Dropkick to get for the Studio Series line. I give it a 9/10!

    Interesting... looks like Hasbro Pulse has shifted the estimated shipping dates for much of this wave to 8/12 as well, except Optimus is listed as 9/1.

    I'm not sure that he's too big. @MINDVVIPE, can you take pics of Brawl with SS Jazz, if you have him??

    Unless someone else beats me to it, I can tonight.
    I think jazz in car mode would be terribly out of scale and small next to brawl in tank mode. That said, I think jazz in bot mode would scale to either of brawl's modes, just going off memory of the scene he jumps on him like the TF animated movie.
    Brawls tank mode should work for MP Car sizes though. Can take a few of those pics tonight as well, though I am no expert on tanks really, though I do love'em.

    Sounds good, thank you!! I just recall Brawl being huge compared to the vehicles in the movie, him and Bonecrusher. That and he was big enough for Jazz to fully stand in his shoulder.

    This Dropkick figure consistently looks great in everyone's photos. He will be one of the few deluxe figures worth buying.

    That's because he was tank.
