I just realized that the past 3 Leader Waves for Studio Series have all included figures from DOTM. You guys have no idea how happy that makes me!

Not to mention, right now I'm sitting at my desk getting ready to open my SS Clunker Bee and Barricade and listening to the '07 soundtrack and I'm feeling so much nostalgia for all of the original trilogy films!

I am seriously excited to see where the rest of this line goes. I can't wait to see what characters they will reveal next and what interesting transformation tricks they will include! Ugh! I can't believe nearly 8 months ago I didn't think I would be collecting this line.

 

After a closer inspection, I noticed that Scavenger's vehicle mode treads actually folds inside the robot mode's lower wheel. GG Hasbro

 

Okay, I finally got on my computer! The news this morning was one of the best things to wake up to. I am beyond hyped! I want that 2007 Megatron bad.



Depressed Heli Dropkick because nobody likes him:

 

don't jinx this, I don't want the last revealed Constructicon to be a doorstop

 

There's some differences already from the early prototype of combined Devastator. Hightower has some pulley cables in the prototype that got cut in the final version for some reason. I made my own, though.

 

People like dropkick! Especially big brother blackout!

If Hastak ever wants to branch out with Selects and not just have G1 stuff things like Deep Desert Brawl might be possible.

 

I do love the freaks.

 

Okay guys, what the heck am I doing wrong with Clunker Bee? I can't get his hood/bumper to line up correctly. I've pushed on the piece quite a bit and it's not sitting flush and I feel like I'm going to wrap the plastic or break something if I push any harder.

I know this was asked somewhat recently but I couldn't find the answer from the search bar.

Please help.

 

This:

It's tough the first few times you do it, as the clearances are super small, but it gets easier the more you do it. The trick is to rotate the headlights the other way to give more clearance for the hood to drop down.

 

Looking at Mixmaster, it looks like someone will be joining Blackout in the Limp-wristed gang

 

How long before we see a third party enemy scrotum? Assuming that overload isnt already packing, that is...

 

Wait a minute. It looks like Scavengers middle finger is not able to align with the shovel in excavator mode. If that's true, it's a huge letdown for me!  

 

Its hard to tell with the wheels on SS Scavenger, but I'm wondering is there something molded onto his bottom wheel where he can stand/balance without having to lean on something?

 

Picked these guys up this week, hence why some yet to open. Nice to get some pics of the boxes before I chuck them out.

 

turned the above pic into a meme

 

Nice car mode.



The transformation into car mode is definitely on the tricky side, but it's still an interesting transformation.
