    I still love my Blackout! If Grindor at least came in his Voyager colours it’d be a different story though.

    Whilst we're on the topic of box art/design, has anyone noticed how the autobot insignia changed for wave 2? The boxes usually show the G1-styled insignia, but wave 2 showed the movie-styled version. They went back to the G1 version for wave 3 and it has been like that ever since. The same applies for the Decepticon figures also.

    The best Bayformer, (objectively) :p  is all beefed up now! 10 years later and with some battle scars, Ironhide is ready for his closeup now. DNA DK 10 installed. MP Hide, you're next. ;D

    Springer in the back is jealous. Don't worry, he's my favorite too!
    Ps: holy snick snack, those ebay prices for this guy. Keep going up and up. We need another SS badly.

    With the abundance of Studio Series Bayverse figures we got in these few years, it might be easy to forget that the previous Bayverse toylines despite having their shortcomings, also give us some pretty interesting and quirky toys that people seem to never talk of nowadays.

    This DOTM Human Alliance Basic set of Sergeant Noble / Tailpipe & Pinpointer is one of those examples:

    IMG_20210810_092825.jpg

    Tailpipe as an independent figure in robot mode is a bit bizarre looking and has a body reminiscent of Armada Sideways, but is still a nice and posable figure of its size from 2011. The transformation is alright resulting in a pretty beefy-looking motorbike, through a lack of locking pegs and tabs do make the figure in bike mode a bit finicky to play with.

    IMG_20210810_091729.jpg
    IMG_20210810_085231.jpg
    IMG_20210810_090919.jpg

    To make up the lack of bulk in comparison of the other HA Basic toys, this set also includes a targetmaster-ish figure of Pinpointer that can transform into a motorcycle backbox/gun turret to a ape-like robot mode, as well as an oversized handgun for Tailpipe.

    IMG_20210810_091310.jpg

    Just like most HA figures, This set also includes a human figure that can ride Tailpipe in motorbike mode.

    IMG_20210810_091006.jpg

    Following the tradition of how most DOTM HA Basic figures also have a third "weapon-mode", Tailpipe also can do that and transforms into a... twin buzzsaw weapon thingy that any other figures with 5mm can wield. Yeah, the less said about this mode, the better.

    Thunder leader is the WJ oversized and heavily modified MPM prime, while LT-01 is a 1:1 KO of Bumblebee with much better paint and a hammer.

    I'm not familiar with that KO of Bee, it has the Plasma Cannon from BB Bumblebee rather than the Bayverse version.

    Oh that’s a good catch, my LT-03 has the clip on cannon consistent with the MPM03, but LT-01 has the Chevy symbols whereas LT-03 did not.

    I just noticed that, that’s definitely from the BMB ko Bumblebee. LT came with the bayverse cannon.

    @Alirius Prime i think you out the wrong cannon in the box.

    Oh you are all correct! This one I have never came with a proper blaster, just the one that is pictured. It does however, have an mpm bayverse bee cannon with an LED in it. I don't recall where it came from.

    Not at the moment, we are in the process of moving, so hoping to sell.

    Scale-wise, HA Blowpipe is the same size as some of the smaller current Deluxe-class figures like ER Cliffjumper.

    With Buzzworthy Origins Bumblebee:

    IMG_20210810_093554.jpg

    I don't have the other DOTM HA Basic figures, but the tailpipe is on the smaller side of DOTM HA figures (With the plastic content also went to the target-master)
