    Same here to both. Hope he comes out good.

    Best part of Insecticons, never can only have just one set. Like your legends ones can be the main ones while these are clones.

    This guy looks just fine, same as Kickback before him. The Insecticons aren’t really very interesting designs except for Bombshell, he’s always the standout. These are the G1 design but with articulation, that’s all I’m looking for. I’m looking forward to checking him out when Amazon gets theirs.

    I love these Insecticons. Kickback and Ransack were really good. Can’t wait to get Shrapnel and Bombshell.

    Not bad.
    I don't like the foot-guns much and the bug feet are a smidge on the stubby side.
    But it doesn't have anything a good upgrade kit can't solve.

    Beautiful. I hope we get his toy head as an alt for Chop Shop. I ordered two of him on the slight chance Hasbro do us a solid again.

    Now just pack it one per case and we're all set, Hasbro! :thumb  :banghead: 

    It's been an absolute nightmare to track new TFs in store, and the fact that BBTS already sold out? 2023 collecting sucks! :cry :

    Couldn’t agree more about these new Transformers being difficult to find! So far, I’ve still only found two of the Stunticons, Dragstrip and Breakdown. Still never seen any of the other three in stores. Being that Breakdown was the last one released, it seems that Deadend Wildrider and Motormaster, came and went, without ever making it to my area. The distribution on these seems very uneven.

    Amazon? But their packaging leaves more or less none to be desired though:(

    Looks good enough to me. Getting picky, I'd wish the 'bug feet guns' were thinner and more 'bug feetish', and that the color blocking was more accurate to the cartoon and/or G1 toy (the black bits on the arms don't bother me much, but the entirely purple back does more than it probably should.

    Otherwise, another fine "G1 toy, but with knees and elbows now" , much like Kickback.

    That’s a decent idea. I think I’ve missed the boat on some of them, but maybe they’ll come back in stock. The last few times that I checked on there for Motormaster, he was only available through the marketplace and the prices were quite high. I do think there’s probably a pretty good chance that at least some of them will come back in stock eventually though.

    I wonder if they'll do another straight redeco with a new head for Chop Shop?

    Actually, with this mould a lot could be accomplished simply with alternative accessories.
    Give him his proper gun, add 2 new pairs of bug legs that can be plugged onto the backs of the arms, and a pair of boosters that plug onto the top of the abdomen and you're 60% there.
    Easy upgrade kit for a 3rd party to put together.

    Still would be nice if HasTak bothered to at least retool the mandibles and the chest along with a new head.
