    Optimus realized Bumblebee was the true ultimate evil and tried his ultimate technique that bested even the Fallen, yet Bumblebee's face still remained, his power too great for even the last of the Primes to defeat.

    That sucks, but I do like the arms on his hip pose. Like he's saying "Is that all you got B****!?"

    Ha! Joke's on them. Good luck figuring out how to transform a Soundwave without the instructions!

    I think this might actually be a case of a figure getting damaged in transport to the store and the stocking employee just not giving a shit.

    What am I looking at? This seems less like a repack than a factory thing, as there were several of these, and they seemed super legit. No visible damage to the tape or outer box.And the weird thing is that there were tons of legit SS86 Gnaws around.

    (I mean, Cyberverse Gnaw, obviously. But how?)

    Open the box, stick the inner tray from the Cyberverse bubble inside, and tape it back up.

    The boxes are generally using an ordinary piece of office tape and if you use the same kind then it's fairly difficult to tell the difference when you put it on right.

    I mean, they must have used a hair dryer or something to get the tape off as cleanly as they did. I guess this was more of a candidate for "best repack jobs in the wild." But the effort involved... multiple trips to the store... why??

    Well let's be fair. Humans in general are not rational creatures and sometimes will do things that actually take more effort to accomplish a certain goal because they're stubborn.

    Rare instance where the product is better then the package makes it look.
