    But only at big box. Places like A3U or BBTS didn't have it up. And I feel like they can't post listings for Grindor or Jolt until Hasbro officially announces them.

    His face is the main dealbreaker for me.

    Bought this guy earlier today. Disregarding his bright color scheme, feels like he fits right in with the Studio Series folk.

    All I have to say is if Hasbro wants to repack Scourge with new hands so everyone has enough to troop build I really hope they send enough Trax drones for us Bay fans to troop build

    This is beautiful.


    I live in Indonesia. I think free shipping only applies to the US unless I use Amazon Prime.

    Either way, I figured out what I want this Christmas. I’ll take the Prime free trial and just ram through like a year’s worth of figures at once.

    I’m thinking Bumblebee, Dino, Jolt, Leadfoot…

    He should’ve been worth at least 50. You got a wonderful deal!

    Well I’ll wait for my KO Hightower to arrive. If he matches up quality wise with Hasbro I’ll just buy up KO long haul and scrap metal to finish devy. If he doesn’t match up, guess I’ll try to sell what I have and get the box set. I just like the darker silver on the non box set version for all the bots.

    I have a KO Longhaul. You literally cannot tell the difference. I want to get more of the KO Constructicons.

    Hope you’re right. I sort of want the set for the extra white on devy’s face, but money saved is money saved, so I’ll be happy if your right about em! :)

    I think he’s at least considered from what I remember.


    I don’t know why we’re getting reissues of toys that don’t need them (WWII Bee and Car Shatter) rather than the ones that do (Long Haul, Ironhide). I was lucky enough to get into the Devastator game early enough to get all of them at retail, but some people having missing combiner pieces is something that sucks. I mean, I was sitting around with 2/5ths of a CW Bruticus for a while. Just not having the missing piece really sucks.

    Probably to encourage people to buy the set. It’s still available after all.

    You guys mind if I do a bit of a customs showcase? I have been doing a lot of Movie customs over the past six months, and while some are still WIP, I wanted to share them. Something I don’t often do.

    07’ Hound(WIP) and Slingshot


    F15B41C1-5A6D-42B9-A638-FC14D92C1531.jpeg
    Dragstrip and what was supposed to be a WWII desert camo Megatron. Since he looks more skeletal the desert themed, I didn’t add any Iron Crosses and the project is in limbo.

    -A custom seeker “Steelslinger.” Meant to be like a knight. Didn’t like how he turned out, subject to “recycling”.

    EF48A81C-4DF1-471E-AFF3-6B240D958C9F.jpeg
    -Inferno. A massive scratch build that required heavy re-engineering of base mold. Still not done. Has completely original head, new hands, and legs.

    -Breakdown started out as G1 colors “Cobalt Mirage”. Ended up looking more like Breakdown to me so thats who he is now.

    67D143B7-E360-45DF-B0A8-0799536B4C75.jpeg
    -Sandshrike. My first attempt at desert camo. Has a new head but still WIP in robot mode.

    C0CB5D40-A1E2-4402-98DD-471CA179D6E1.jpeg
    Ruin. Has a lot of kitbashing. Mad max style jet with a sadistic personality. Will be painted matte black with red and grey accents.

    785B895C-D355-45DA-BA59-F961C8B048F6.jpeg
    Slingshot with his newly built head and chest. It took… a lot of work to get it all to fit in robot mode. Months of work… Artic camo looks great tho.

    WWII Valiant! A new character of mine I’m quite proud of.

    429F061D-1E73-41A4-81F5-2E9BFB125C31.jpeg
    Cosmic Drift Optimus, an old custom but still one of my favorites.

    One of my current WIP projects… A project I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Firefly

    These are awesome!

    Speaking of customs I had a custom idea but need to know the safest way to remove AoE Hound’s head from this little disk here
