    Breakdown not leaked yet so that might be a longshot.

    I just got an update from Amazon that says I should have him delivered by Monday. Very strange

    Yes, pretty standard for Amazon. Here in Australia we still see early October for the Wreckers (all of them - none have arrived here yet, while the US has most of them), and Crankcase is mid-November.

    Looks good. I was still hoping there would be more to the shoulder canons that we haven’t seen, but nope, they are that short. Pretty much my only complain. Looks to be a good modern update to g1 Crankcase

    i barely care about g1 crankcase as a character but... the colors are so nice on this one. the legs genuinely look bad to me but not like i cannot get over it. the shoulder cannons are something not everyone will like but upgrade kits exist. overall i may pick him up

    The grille gun can use being less hollow and I would really have liked to know if its barrels were blast effect compatible. It also seems to just float off the front of the vehicle. The tiny shoulder guns are massive disappointments.

    Otherwise, I like it quite a bit. Someone in the YouTube comments said it gave them the feel of TFP Breakdown, so that might be the thing that's got this bot's hooks in me. He's going to be a dwarf next to Bulkhead but I guess he's just got to be the Wolverine of the Decepticons: short, has an attitude and can back it up.

    Chefatron has Crancase as well. His opinion is more critical from what I noticed.

    Chefatron mistransformed the backpack in his review.
    Also, both reviews neglected to mention the clear plastic inserts they added to Crankcase's legs.
    I thought that was a step above and beyond.
    If there's anything I can nitpick, it's the spare tire on the back covering up the right rear lights a bit too much and the left rear lights not being retooled to match.

    And this is why PrimeVsPrime continues to be the only stolen toy reviewer I have any respect for. Question the sourcing of his toys all you want, but at least he takes his time with his reviews.

    Mark's already shown this on Instagram.
    I find his voice rather grating but I do have to give him this, he did actually pop the grill gun's barrels out unlike the other early reviewer!

    While I don't Respect PVP I do appreciate his reviews. Seeing Chefatron go down this path was sad though. He used to be this chill guy who uploaded reviews with a passion. Ever since he started reviewing stolen toys he definitely started becoming less respectable. That's just my take though.

    Chefatron is pretty critical of anything he reviews. Much like Anthony’s Customs.

    I was looking forward to Skullgrin more than I was Crankcase, but since both reviews dropped today, I think I've changed my mind; Crankcase is a must, & well, I don't know what I think about Skullgrin, but it's not the most positive.

    Crankcase looks really lovely though! An excellent retool altogether, I do wish he had a few more paint apps, but that's just me being picky. The bumper gun is pretty cool as well, reminds me of the integrated weapons on the old BW toys.
