    *sighs* well hell I might have to get smoke screen. Here I was thinking I had enough ER figures but it's different enough from the rest of the wave 1 car bots that I might have to bite.

    Sorry if it’s been said already, but curious to see how ER Smokescreen looks with the Siege head popped on. Assuming that’s possible...

    No definitive answer but most likely due to trademark or copyright rights. Bothers the hell out of me but nothing we can do until toyhax puts up the label sheet.

    I was thinking new head and the additional parts & weapons to take him to Voyager Pricepoint (the foot twin cannons changed to straight turrets to plug on his shins in robot mode, the rest of his arsenal, and a new G1 homage bridge/command tower).

    It’s incredibly frustrating that the grey alligator arms could have been separate parts, yet they are pinned onto the elbows in a position that matches neither of the modes. They could have just put peg holes on the of the tail and have them peg in there in robot mode, yet they force the arms to be visible in robot mode and in the wrong place is alligator mode. The most disappointing figure of the year, I just hope it looks better in person.

    Hoping a 3rd party company will make him a new set of robot arms with removable gator arms that can peg onto his shoulders and also have the bot mode fists flip in for gator mode.

    I really hope so. Since the tail is removable, there’s something that could be done there to help hide the robot arms too.

    At least we have Airwave, the figure I knew from the beginning would be the best Wave 2 figure. He looks fantastic.

    I'm gonna rage like h#ll if Grandus gets remolded/retooled from Airwave. (It will be too small isn't it)

    He's gotta be at least a Leader Class figure for me.
