Wow. I really want that Sharkticon and Brawn. Cosmos not so much. I am going to touch up the figures with some paints however.

 

Sweet! I only have Seaspray and he was ok, but good enough to want to buy these 2. Especially Brawn! Sharkticon too. If hes the same price as the minibots might get a few.

 

Does it look like Brawn's backpack is supposed to fold down to anyone else - there is a hinge there.

Nice Sharkticon - Classics Bumblebee size seems a good size for him.

I also especially want Impactor now he's been name checked on Transformers rime

 

Brawn looks good but i've never seen any of these iGear mini-bots in the flesh so i'm not sold on their quality level.

 

Cool i love that Second toy accurate face for Brawn. In my fan g1 universe the g1 toy faces are the battle masks of the mini-bots

 

The bottom of the backpack folds up a bit to clear his legs but that's it, I think the hinge is so the side widows swivel up (like in the CGI render) so you can fold the arms in.

 

2 heads?!?! Now I need 2 Brawns!!!

 

I like those two heads on "Not-Brawn".

 

Two heads!

I think I'm sold. I always preferred the toy head to the cartoon head.

Also, if the Sharkticon is the size of a can of pop that's perfect to be menacing with CHUG.

Very surprised to say I'm probably getting both.

 

I was planning on just getting Cosmos but I may have to get them all now. If the price is reasonable, of course.

 

About 110 Calories, near as I can tell.

 

two heads always better than 1 i got options i luv options

 

I would bet money that the only official Brawn over 4 inches that you will see in the next 2 years is Bulkhead/Brawn.

 

Unfortunately I think that issue with the shoulder articulation is a dealbreaker for me on Brawn. It REALLY bugs me when figures have limited shoulder motion, especially when it's something that on principle should be very easy to do right.

His alt mode also leaves a lot to be desired, but that would be forgivable if not for the shoulders.

Cosmos is till looking good, though.

 

IGear is now the preferred 3rd party biz. Looking great.

 

Possibly not. But that might also hinge on the fact that we got a Brawn over 4" tall less than two years ago.

 

The Radicon in me is already working out the arm articulation problems. Better save up for a couple methinks lol.

 

While the shoulders are bad his elbows are even worse. I'm not sure what IGear was thinking when they decided to go that route but it just cost them a sale. *sigh*

 

BRILLIANT!!!

The obvious solution to your problem is that you need a new Bumblebee.  

I know what you mean about the "novelty zone". That was the ONLY rationale I could make for buying the Mini-Warriors at their original diminutive size. Now that they are becoming increasingly Classics-friendly, it's no longer just a novelty. I NEED them.

However, Classics Bumblebee has always looked too big next to his fellows. I love the toy itself, but he doesn't feel right in context. Hasbro should have given us a Scout BB long ago.

There is never a reason to be happy about limited articulation. I refuse to give someone a free pass for doing something cool, if it's done badly.

You mean that thing that looks absolutely nothing like G1 Brawn in any way? I have that figure too... but I hardly thing it belongs in the same category as this one. You're comparing apples and oranges.

They are quite nice. I have no complaints.

Yeah, this is the issue for me. The arms on this lil' guy have 2 major jointing flaws. That's going to bug me every time I pick him up. That might be worse than not having the toy at all. It's just... WHY??

I'm perfectly happy with Classics Bumblebee. He's smaller than his peers, but not so much that it looks forced.

And now, with Hasbro essentially discontinuing the Scout class, any future "Minibots" will probably be joining the regular ranks, instead of being small simply to justify their diminuitive toys. We've already god deluxe 'Bee, deluxe Warpath, Voyager Seaspray, and Ultra Powerglide among that lot. RtS Windcharger kinda bugs me, because he's the only one of his peers at that size.
