    HA Copter: Why don't I get a mechtech weapon?
    Hasbro: No, YOU are the mechtech.

    Then the copter was a cannon.

    Too bad for those who didn't like the broad chested look. The talk of mistransformation seemed like wishful thinking in that regard. It wasn't something I was hung up on.

    As for the helicopter, that's something I'll probably never know about. I'll be surprised if I end up getting that.

    It's intentional. Both the Helicopter and the Buggy have specific mechtech posts that flip out in their weapon modes. They're intended to be mounted on larger figures.

    I don't see what the problem is. Shockwave has always had a very broad chest.

    that explains why the screws on the arms are facing on the front of the figure instead of the back

    It amazes me that some people are willing to pay over 150 bucks for these figures on eBay, yet, they'll be released in a few months for approx. 30. Oh and Peaugh, do you have the Leader class fire truck? I'm being a bit hypocritical on the whole patience thing but I need to see the bot mode. XD

    I do not. Most of the figures in that new group pic are just as big of a surprise to me as they are to you. I eagerly await bot mode pics myself.

    Sorry to bother you but may I ask this, Of the dotm figures you have are they in scale with rotf figures? Vehicle, bot, or in both modes?

    So these HA Basics are supposed to have

    Vehicle
    Robot
    "Powermaster/Human Exo Mode"
    Targetmaster

    modes?


    I know this is just baseless speculation but this kind of sounds like the interactivity level of the PCC 2-Packs. Only with Voyagers and Scouts as opposed to Scouts and Minicons.

    Hasbro must have been warming us up all along.

    And that, could not, be cooler.

    I'm not entirely sure that the exomode and targetmaster modes aren't the same thing.

    Neat, is the buggy's weapon mode the same thing we saw in the pack of marketing pictures a while back? Pic attached for reference.

    Yeah. The mech tech port flips out on the bottom. It's too big for any of the bot modes for deluxe/voyager, but mounts okay to most in vehicle mode. It would make a great shoulder mounted launcher for a leader class or bigger figure though.

    I feel DOTM is going to be an orgy of weapons.
