    Governed by the G1 toy. Grey tank body, white turret.

    Probably spends weeks, months at a time tinkering with his own body, modifying each piece to somehow be weaponized.

    Yeah, getting proper looks at him do him wonders.

    The arms (specifically the fists) are way better looking when you see them at the proper angle. I was worried that the fist would be more recessed into the arms, but the pegs are definitely above the fists like the artwork.

    I like him a lot. I still need a Metroplex for him and Sixgun though.

    Having seen all the wave 4 now, it is clear to me that Tigatron is the best piece of the wave. Pipes is okay, despite it being a reuse it's the best of the 4 deluxes imho.

    The waist and thighs seem way too thin proportionally.

    wish he was closer to the iron factory design: ADE6425E-85D9-4120-A6C4-9DA7B49F5C45.jpeg I like the way it’s shaped so much more, though I prefer the hasbro size and articulation.

    He definitely looks like he could use a Toyhax sticker set.

    ~90% new. As identified earlier in the thread, he uses the same hip and thigh parts as Ironworks/Greasepit.

    I'll pass and wait for Metrotank. Unless Metrotank never comes or is a limited exclusive.

    God, only 90% original? Might as well have slapped a Slammer head on Warpath and called it a day with that amount of parts reuse.

    That transformation is significantly more complicated than I anticipated. Whole lotta little pieces that gotta go every which way. I'll be getting him regardless, but I'll have to keep extra-special track of all his bits.

    I think he looks great but the more I look at him the more I am drawn to his crotch... It's so white and all bits around it is black. He got a white head and white lower arms also so too me it looks a bit like a dude with a t-shirt and pants but with his manly bits hanging out of his pants.

    I would have preferd it if his crotch bit was light grey instead of white but I'll get used to him being a bit of a perv I guess. Besides that I still think he is awesome though!

    Dear HasTak,

    Thanks for finally making a new Slammer -- who transforms and is a weaponizer too! -- to go with Siege Sixgun. So hey, remember that thing you said about wanting to complete sets/groups? Sixgun, Slammer, and one more to go: Scamper. C'mon. You know he'll sell. And a new Scamper will satisfy that obsessive-compulsive completionist urge you've got.

    Do it. Start work on Legacy Scamper.

    I don't think a new Scamper is immediately in the works since the previous Titan Metroplex already came with him. A Deluxe-sized rendition wouldn't fit in Metroplex's chest garage, either.

    Looks good. I like that all these toyish drones from G1 finally got a robot mode and some personality.

    Looks great, alt mode is spot on, but with more detail and paint. I find the grey/beige color weird at first, but then I remembered he had that color in his one cartoon appearance (I think it was when Swindle stole Metroplex\' transformation cog).

    That’s fair. Doesn’t change my opinion, however.
