I must say it again: Never read a page of comic and don't know what DJD is but can't stop buying this line. Fantastic!

 

They're basically the Decepticon version of the Gestapo/Nazi SS.

In the comics, Phase Sixers were single Decepticons capable of obliterating entire planets.

The DJD? They're introduced executing one of the three Phase Sixers.

 

...be careful, that's what drew me in: appreciating the figures and occasionally browsing the wiki to understand who they represented...

...now i have two bookshelves full of IDW hardcovers and more IDW figures than i have space to set up...

 

At PSX R-44 Tortor | D Squad(free shipping before June 25, 2020) $200 US.

 

Thanks for the info.

Same here. I have a lot of MMC IDW figures at storage also

 

US retailers around the same price?

 

Thereabouts. There have been a few instances here and there where PSX is $5 cheaper, but that's not a standard practice.

And if you pre-order via PSX, then you also get free shipping and qualify for whatever pre-order bonus (if any, but fairly typical for Reformatted) MMC decides to include.

 

good eye. I got this thigh articulation idea from Tesarus's image in the Transformers Legends card game.

 

And ordered!

 

very nice but,
arent those treads supposed to be part of the transformation to alt mode and not just be decoration inside the shredder?

 

Oh, that's tempting, since I have the rest of the team on pre-order through BBTS, but given the girth of this glorious bastard, free shipping might be necessary...

 

Nevermind!
Reformatted R-44 D Squad Tortor

Got all five core members on pre-order. Super psyched.

 

I would assume it's a compromise for page accuracy vs. toy transformation. It doesn't bother me though, it just reminds me of the teeth inside an industrial shredder, and the conveyors used to remove shredded scrap.


Real life Tesarus:

 

Yeah, I'm sure it's just a proportional thing. Pretty sure they're intended to be the same treads as the ones that extend of the back of the vehicle mode. But the vehicle ones are like, twice the size, so that they don't look hilariously tiny and pointless.

 

Up at TCP.
Mastermind Creations R-44 TORTOR

 

He is up for preorder at BBTS.

 

Fair enough then. I'll probable paint inside the shredder in Black, the golden inside looks too bright

 

I cannot believe it it almost over. DJD will be complete soon.
I bet TorTor hit the stores next year.

 

Excited for the possibility that this time next year I may have a full MMC DJD!

 

Same. Didn't even have them on my radar until a buddy pointed out that Kultur was up for pre-order on BBTS...as was everybody except Tortor and Foxwire/Ni (and the latter two pack are still in stock so I'm going to buy them whenever Mors comes in).

Can't wait to get my grubby mitts on the whole team! Especially Tortor since first thing I'm gonna do with him? Feed him my ROTF Legends Twins, have him show ROTF Devestator how you actually use something called a "grinder".
