So I ordered a second Scrapper after - and it was a Scrapper! Seems they put up Sentinel on his own listing now.

Loving these goons and can't wait for more.

 

After getting all 8, I'd say Scrapper is the favorite.

 

U

Unless overload pulls off something I’ve never seen before scavenger takes the cake for me. I love unique designs. Hoping for a devcon for that reason.

 

Exclusivity is country-specific. Skipjack is a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive in Japan, but a general retail release in Hasbro's markets.

Meanwhile, Power of the Primes Wreck-Gar was a Walgreens exclusive in the US, Nemesis Prime was an Amazon exclusive, and Throne of the Primes was a San Diego Comic-Con/Hasbro Toy Shop exclusive. In Japan, all three were sold at general retail.

It all boils down to "what applies to your country does not necessarily apply to another country, and vice versa".

 

Nice! Been waiting on a pic like this... any chance you have GT Gravity Builder as well?

 

Yup! The issue for me was I was not searching correctly because Sentinel is listed as "Sentinal P" on Amazon.ca instead of "Sentinel Prime".

But because you brought up getting Sentinel instead of Scrapper it started the conversation and it ended with me being able to order Sentinel which should arrive tomorrow so thank you very much!

I'm still missing Overload but hopefully I'll get him soon. Not sure about Skipjack yet. I prefer the yellow version but I already own Rampage and I'm not sure if it's worth it to switch.

 

Nope, I only own official Hasbro and Takara figures.

 

Come to the dark side

 

Not a pic like this? (^o^)

 

Obviously, i’ve “Attached” mix master wrong. He more or less attached just by tangling mix master’s legs in with overload parts below. I wouldn’t say he’s secure, but he isn’t going anywhere either.

Works for me.

Just for fun I threw in images of my heavily customized rotf rampage and mixmaster also.

 

What size class would the twins be? Would they be deluxe or smaller to scale with devastator? If I remember correctly they were both half the size of bumblebee. I might have just answered my own question.

 

The ice cream truck Deluxe, by coincidence or not, is exactly in the same scale as Studio Series figures like ROTF Soundwave. Going by their size, the Twins would be about the size of Titans Return Legends. They could be small enough to warrant a 2-in-1 set, but I see Hasbro being more likely to sell them individually at a slightly larger size as ER Cliffjumper sized Scouts.

 

They would probably go the arcee route. That’s me though.

 

If I were hasbro, I'd do ice cream twins as a two pack deluxe class, then the regular ones as a two pack voyager class with accessories and maybe even a pack-in figure like Alice or Frenzy or Simmons.

 

I honestly don't think we're ever going to see the twins. Similar to how Jar Jar has pretty much vanished from the Star Wars universe.

 

I guarantee studio series will do them. At least one version of them (ice cream or regular cars).

 

Hopefully. It's fair still to be cautiously optimistic. The Twins, as small as they are are still only a shy bit smaller than Bee Movie Bumblebee and Cliffjumper and neither of the two were sold in sets.

 

I agree. Although I would prefer the Chevys over the Ice Cream Truck due to the 2009 Deluxe Ice Cream Truck being a perfect scale. Plus I would definitely predict both twins would be in a 2 pack. I would think of them making it an exclusive like the Bumblebee 2 pack or like the size of TLK Drift with Baby Dinobots.

 

I'm honestly torn. The ice cream truck is a fun and silly idea, and although the 09 one got the truck mode down perfectly, the bot modes were weird and bad. On the other hand, the chevy versions aren't as unique and they don't combine, but I like the alt modes and the fact that they're smaller than most other bots. I think they both have their upsides, although I definitely see your argument for doing the chevy versions.
