    Not sure what you're referring to. The arm bots will likely not have an ab crunch, due to the gestalt elbow, but they all seem to share the same basic hip articulation based on the prototype shots.

    You are correct. Either they just haven’t shown it or his transformation is different enough not to allow it. I’d be surprised if he doesn’t have it though.

    I have a feeling Spoiler will remain the best of all 4 limbs for bot mode articulation, and that both Roadking and Spoiler will remain the top 2 of this set, thus, i am glad i got these two. The Ab Crunch really make a difference, but more for the smaller Spoiler figure.

    I think Spoiler will remain the best 7 to 8" TF in my collection for a while, i see nothing outdoing it right now from all releases (none of the other FT Aerialbots / Stunticons). Sheridan and Dunerider do have ab crunch, but i cant tell if they have individual finger articulation, another big plus for me for Spoiler. Maybe being smaller allow for less on the minibots, but remains to be seen, maybe just not shown yet.

    Really, BIG plus for Spoiler are:
    Double Jointed Elbow
    Ab Crunch
    Individual Finger articulation
    Head Tilt down
    Hip/Side thigh articulation friction joint
    Great Ankle Tilt

    Because of it's size, i even prefer Spoiler to Roadking for just picking up and posing, and both are definitely tops in each sizes respect.

    So if i only recommend 2 figures this year (there are more obviously for myself), and maybe for a while, it is Spoiler and Roadking first and foremost, get these two. Then I also love TE-01 and Quietus T, and Maverick too, though all much less articulated then the top two.

    I was mulling over Fans Toys' Menasor offering and picked up Breakdown first. Totally blown away in hand, I pre-ordered all the rest of the members. :D

    Thanks dude.
    I had him waiting for a month at the webshop because i wanted to ship with other figures, but turned out they sold my other pre-orders.
    So this guy came with Siege Omega.
    I ordered it from England and because of Brexit, i had to have these shipped here before October 31.
    And now England will exit EU Januari 31. ><

    Nice figure.
    I don't have any problems with him being skinny.
    I look at him from the front.
    Rather a skinny guy then a fatboy like Roadking ( he's awesome btw ).
    I'm fine with both these guys.
    Peoples can complain about everything.

    Now i just need to find the time to transform him once.
    And hope everything is right in order, because this guy also has been approved by qc 33 like my Roadking, which had flaws in it.
    QC 34 was fine on my Silverbolt.

    Hey a fellow Dutchie! His transformation isn't to bad. I would recommend watching a few YouTube videos on him, the instructions are a bit rubbish imo.

    I got conned.
    I thought Spoiler would be same size as other Lambo's.
    But he's way smaller then my Sideswipe.
    I want 50 bucks back for he's 50% smaller.

    Oh wait, my Sideswipe is oversized.

    Got ya! :)  :)  :)

    Which KO is that? It looks better-painted than the official.
