    Yup. He's got a bigger rifle that consists of 'Muck's rifle with another gun.

    My thinking is that Tracks will be retooled from the top half of Runamuck and the bottom half of Sunstreaker.

    These two look pretty good together. The instructions weaponizer setup is a bit too much. This gives him rollerblades and shorter blasters making him quicker and improved agility. I like the shield dagger combo fast track can do. 9B5D2B97-CFDF-4AF6-952F-BB68BFB1C68F.jpeg EA7F2215-ABB8-45C2-A055-914187FE9868.jpeg 0AF95A4E-1261-4394-8533-3A90079F76A6.jpeg

    Homage to the OG and did Ode to Cobra and Slitherfang via Fastrack as a weaponizer.

    IMO, these two together are pretty awesome without scorponok in the mix.

    runamuck is my fav of this wave in a big way and might I dare to say my favourite deluxe of the line. He’s the lone non parts forming deluxe decepticon of the whole main line of figures right?

    I know barricade is coming but he’s an exclusive.

    My Runamuck just got delivered from Target today. I personally LOVE the false chest and extra wheels, both to achieve that G1 animation inspiration. I’m always for ANY transformation scheme where the final product is less like it’s alt mode and more like the media that it represents. Can’t wait for his brother Runabout , to be delivered by Target soon. I love to have team pairs.

    I'm fairly happy with the figure. The transformation is relatively complicated but familiar at the same time. My only real complaint is that the shoulders are limited.

    Holy crap! This figure's awesome! Only complaint is the lack of wrist articulation.

    Love the fake wheels

    Jeez, the bottom of the car has like no clearance whatsoever. He barely rolls on his wheels, and that fake chest might scratch. Scary.

    Agreed. I"m looking at mine, and wondering why they even bothered to put the wheels on to begin with. Cause he low riding.

    Definitely needs some more paint love and some wrist swivels to make up for the giant gaps of his arms.

    Otherwise? He's a pint sized pile of Decepti-attitude. I can't wait for his brother. This was one G1 character that I never got when younger.

    Me too bro. I love the way they went the extra mile to push it closer to the animation model. Runamuck is a “lite” MP inspired figure.

    For people having issues with him rolling I've noticed two things that make a huge difference.

    1.) There is a peg on his lower thigh. In bot mode this secures his upper and lower leg as a knee. There's also a slot in alt mode where this same peg tabs in. This solved all my front end issues.

    2.) Make sure his head goes straight back when going to alt. I've seen it turned around in reviews and for whatever reason it causes the faux chest to not compress far enough in alt mode. Not rotating the head more than doubled my rear wheel ground clearance.

    My guy rolls like a champ now, bring on Runabout! (After him I've only 4 bots to go)

    Just got him from the Target sale. For a guy who I have no real attachment to (beside being one of Beavis and Butthead from "Ghost in the Machine") he's ridiculously articulate. I'm a little annoyed about the fake chest car roof since it's on his back, but whatever-- I guess it's a 'close enough' thing.

    Seems my copy has a QC issue where his left foot can't collapse properly when going to car mode, and as a result nothing tabs in correctly on his left side. Wasn't able to really examine it closely because I was tired, but I'm going to take a look tonight after work.

    Found this guy today. Very good deluxe, better than the Hoist I got last week. Really hope Runabout is easy enough to find in Canada, because I'd like to have the pair.

    The fake wheels are dumb. The fake chest is fine, as it's smaller than the real roof and a different shape. The wheels however don't match the real wheels, so not only do they look stupid, they hang out the back with nothing else there.

    I don't have this toy yet and I'm unsure if anyone's noticed, but he has these weird, faux wheels hanging off of his heels.

    Found out the problem of n my copy, when they pinned the foot to the shin section, they didn't pin it down far enough, so there is a tiiiiiiiny bit of room between the foot and the shin piece. Just enough to.out off the entire firm of the left leg for transformation. Fortunately I can wiggle it snug when transforming, so a minor quibble.
