    Same! I can't wait to challenge myself with coming up with actual poses for him. He's gonna look great with his fellow constructicons!

    Huh so the shoulder will be Combiner Wars style pegs. I wonder why they didn't go that route for the legs.

    This is what transformers is. Third parties make the perfect renditions (not transformers).
    HasTak make a lot of compromises for the sake of profit. I like it. Makes figures way cheaper. Benefits HasTak and customers alike. Besides they also had to keep stability in mind here because this is combiner limb. So of course they cheap this thing out and use partsforming, visible head syndrome and whatever else gets the job done.

    If you want perfection don't collect mass market transformers.

    Collect masterpiece or third party :)

    The early Devy resin model included the bar that went from the crane base to the claw so I'm wondering if they couldn't ultimately make that work with the parts/stability they needed.

    Hopefully this wave shows up soon, Target are the only place in town still with Voyagers in stock and it’s just piles of Rampage. Can’t remember the last time I saw any Studio Series bigger than a deluxe at Walmart, feels like at least a year or so.

    What e-tailers? I haven't seen him listed anywhere.
    And he certainly hasn't shown up in brick and mortar as far as I'm aware.
