    If you add some treads, one could make the microscope bot into an evil Wall-e.

    This guy (plus mozart) should be coming in the mail this week or next. I'm excited! I had a preorder with showz that I could have canceled when I bought it from uncle billy, but I figured if I'm gonna have two of any figure it should be this guy. Multiple ones can crawl all over anything!

    If you want multiple creepy crawlers also get the Skraplets.

    First foray into 3rd Party. Doc Scalpel is a design I really want a toy of, but the original Scout was a disaster and Studio Series shows no sign of making one (and chances are SS would just make him a static accessory the size of a grain of rice, like Wheelie and Brains, that's no fun).

    Obviously he's not in scale, but I'm fine with it. He still captures the spirit of a tiny little doc crawling over the big bots to patch them up, and I suspect this is about as small as you can get while still keeping him super articulated.

    Microscope is... as expected. I do like the idea behind the transformation, with the mustache splitting so the become dials on the sides. If it weren't for the Movie aesthetic they probably could've made it more convincing. Like, imagine if the eyes were just plain lenses and the legs were less spiky and more boxy, yeah?
    ... still not likely to ever transform him again, heh.

    I don’t think this will end well for one of them...

    Got mine today. Pretty fun addition to any Decepticons display but I'm not really buying that "alt mode" at all :lol

    I could kinda sorta believe the alt mode if his burning red eyes weren't front and center. Shame they didn't include a transformation step to turn them 180 degrees for alt mode.

    Bot mode is great.

    Got my copy of this figure the other day. What a fun, poseable little creepy bot! I'm totally down for any other small bots Dr Wu does, like Wheelie or Brains!

    Dr Wu.... DO EJECTOR!

    Just learned this guy existed. I don't suppose anybody has an 18th-scale human comparison pic? Or with the DroneTapes Dr Wu did?

    So, I finally shipped my Stack from TFSource and this came in today.

    He's not as impressive as the original ROTF toy but he looks good and he's surprisingly poseable for the size.

    I do wish he had a better way to hide his eyes and that there were more paint apps but all in all he's a little charmer. (I do mean little. Geez.) While I know the price includes importation and all that and the Chinese MSRP is lower, I'm not sure he's worth the current asking price. If he and Mohawk had been boxed together ala the triplets from SS, definitely, but on his own? Nay.

    Picked up both of these off of aliexpress for about $15 a piece. Considering hunting down the repaint of MC01. Does anybody know if they are doing any more in this line?

    I think it is a must-have to accompany Megatron, hopefully they'll also release Frenzy and a better Scorponok.

    Yeah why the hell is Frenzy so neglected? Haven't gotten one since Human Alliance I think. 3P or otherwise.
