    It's definitely not different enough for me to care about it. But it's nice that it exists and boxsets are always both pretty to look at and easier to deal with.

    When this Devcon will be made, Hasbro should close the line if it will be not the most sold figure.

    Besides mixmaster, those paint apps are terrible. Longhaul looks awful in vehicle mode with them.

    so glad I got the base version without the “dirt” on them.

    Does anyone find that the box art that blatantly misrepresents the figure is a little insulting? If you're going to use a CG render then at least use a render of what the figure actually looks like. If you're going to use an inaccurate render you may as well use the movie artwork. That's like advertising this on the front when the figure itself looks nothing like it. EDIT, in fact the box art literally is this figure if you look at his right hand and Rampage's leg.

    Look at the difference:

    No flaps or tubes on the head, no shoulder rockets, a small waist, wheels in different places and Long Haul is severely misrepresented. I point this out because the render is more representative of the toy based on the configuration of the bots than it is a representation of his on-screen appearance, so it's like they're trying to advertise the toy, but they're greatly overexaggerating how good it will actually look.

    I don’t know if I’d go so far as to say it’s insulting, but they absolutely should’ve had some artwork based on the actual final model rather than what is primarily a mock up.

    Is this oversized? I bought it without hesitation due to the price since Scrapmetal is so expensive. I don't know now which one it is though. The normal sized K.O or the oversized one. Screenshot_20201019-143916_eBay.jpg

    I mean, I wish that the box art was accurate too. And I definitely feel like if Hasbro went all out with attachments and a good paint deco or maybe even include both Rampage and Skipjack, add some accessories, and have the same paint job, I would be comfortable paying $300 for this. However, they do need to market this somehow, and that box art is really appealing so idk. I still strongly feel like this was a missed opportunity. I mean, studio Series hot rod is EXCELLENT with all of his extra accessories, and I feel like Hasbro really missed out on creating an absolute banger of a box set.

    Yeah man, idk what to tell you. In my opinion, scrap metal is the worst of the constructicons, and he’s going for such high prices that it’s ridiculous.

    looking from the gray bars and slight changes and price point it should be a KO of normal size, I think it was Aoyi as its producing company.

    With all due respect, but out of all people to have insider info, I have a huge trouble believing a 18 year old from Hong Kong would be it. Specially since most insiders just tell us stuff coming up while this one likes to go in-depth with "internal company conversations and stuff" that nobody should have access to.

    What's funny is Scrapmetal is pretty much G1 Scavenger with a new Bay skin over it. The reason his price is so high, though, is because he came and went before people were fully invested in the Devy combiner. Once it got rolling and more people started getting interested, they realized it was too late for this one.

    I also think Scrapmetal came and went pretty quick in stores. He was in the wave with Cogman and Shatter (Car) which both shelf-warmed for a while. So he got gobbled up, but then the other two clogged up shelves until later waves started shipping.

    It took a tip from sightings here to find my Scrapmetal, an hour and a half out of town. I do remember when he first came out though he sat on shelves for a long time, but by then we didn't even see the full body mockup I think. Just that grey prototype that was nowhere near realistic. I think I decided to jump when the overload prototypes came out and by then Scrapmetal was all gone.

    That's definitely the normal size ko, the OS changed the grey bits on his shoulders to yellow.

    I have a major question in my head, if Hasbro were to release and complete the figures at once instead of 2 years. Could the final figure have been closer to what was shown?

    So glad this is in line with the price of buying them individually. I didn't get back into collecting TF until it was too late to get some of the early parts at a reasonable price. Saw the rumors that this set was coming and decided to hold out, looks like it worked out for me this time.

    It's not in line. Apparently, the extra dirt paint and cardboard are worth $40 extra.
