I wish everyone liked Rampage/Skipjack as much as I do.

 

Stop making me regret going all-in on Mechanical Team!

 

To be completely honest dude, I could take or leave most of the devil saviour figures as individuals, but this one, this one was worth the wait! I'd recommend him to anyone who likes the character regardless of whether or not you get the others in the set. Actually, I recommend waiting for a red repaint and getting that.

 

When you reach the end of a Bayverse trilogy movie:

 

It's a Prime kind of evening.

 

this is the only member of devil savior that doesn't look terrible so if they did a red one I'd get it as a standalone on the mp shelf, he looks so good

 

Thought I'd share the pics here.

 

that sure is a not very good design that turns into literal nothing

 

Eh the altmode is about as good as Megatron laying down with some wings and saying “I’m a jet”

 

"Damn... I'm good."
- Sideswipe got a quick kill on a fleeing Sideways, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

 

To me the bayverse designs get away with it much better cause the body parts flow into each other with the more cybertronian designs, so it's more abstract in both modes. This is boxes becoming different shaped boxes, which to me doesn't feel alien or interesting and is therefore harder to justify. Even if the eventual Fallen figure has the exact same transformation as this figure, it'll be way more visually appealing to me.

 

At least Megatron had wings/a tank cannon and treads. That's more than this thing has.

 

He looks really fun I can’t wait to pick him up. He’s the only BBM design I prefer over the Bayverse design oddly enough.

 

I think I as well am going to get a few more SS figures to add to my new collection. I’ve collected basically everything but the SS line I always come back to because of the beautiful alt modes and the detailed robot modes. I’m gonna start with 2007 characters since that’s what hooked me all those years ago. So far I have 2007 Bonecrusher, 2007 Megatron, ROTF Jolt, ROTF Grindor, BBM Blitzwing, BBM Thrust, BBM Shatter, and BBM Dropkick secured.

Here’s everything I know I want to get in the coming months from SS
- 2007 Barricade
- 2007 Jazz
- 2007 Bumblebee (70s Camaro)
- 2007 Starscream
- 2007 Brawl
- 2007 Optimus Prime
- ROTF Sideswipe
- DOTM Dino
- DOTM Sentinel Prime
- DOTM Shockwave
- BBM Wheeljack
- BBM Brawn
- BBM Soundwave
- BBM Ravage

Any other figures you all recommend for my collection that you’d say are must haves? If it helps I try to get one character as a representation and I don’t really want any characters from AOE and TLK.

 

Definitely the old man

 

Hasbro's Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver

 

Jetfire? I heard him and 07 Prime may get new figures in the premium finish line so I may hold out and grab them once they come out!

 

SS-49/74 (the concept Camaro Bumblebees) are excellent, I prefer them to the 76 Bee mold. I do still like 76 Bee though, if you do decide to go for it make sure to get SS-28 or the Buzzworthy version of SS-15, those versions have the pinned roof assembly that makes the figure much better. If you get the Buzzworthy 2-pack you can get 2 birds with one stone, it includes clunker Bee and 07 Barricade.

Still though, SS-49/74 is a the best deluxe of the line IMO. Haven’t posted pics in a while, so here’s my Clunker Bee and SS-74.
