    Oh, I didn't mean that in a derrisive tone. I'm sorry if it came off like that.

    In bot mode yes, my distaste for their torso proportions notwithstanding, but in vehicle mode they're way too small.

    Ah gotcha, that makes sense. And yea, the bumblebee is a bit tubby in the waist, but cliffjumper seems fine to me

    Cliffjumper is definitely better off than Bee, but his proportions overall are still not great, with his block body, tiny pelvis and dinky limbs. I hope something better comes for those two sooner or later.

    I ordered the Gears/Swerve today. I think they will go great with the previous releases. I did just get my KBB OS Flipper, which is replacing the Hot Soldiers Bee on my shelf.

    His proportions are off, head is so big and flat, torso is weirdly elongated, even his t-rex forearms.. But I still bought Rocke cos he's so ugly it's adorable :dunce

    Guessing you display him in robot mode? The vehicle mode is considerably larger than most Legends vehicles, which has me second guessing my own purchase

    You just saved my pre-order from cancellation.
    I was not very pleased with the height shown in that picture. Still not as "jazzed" about him as I was (still seems slightly too tall) but it looks like with his torso collapsed he should be a bit better.

    Well, look which Grumpy Wee Bastard turned up with some Grinning Idiot in tow...

    ..as suspected a couple of deco tweaks and Rocke is pretty much the Perfect Prime Trilogy scale Gears!

    Spiale has barely any head rotation due to the side 'pillars' on his head block, and is a bit more of a bugger to transform at the back end than Rocke. As @Max Tower has noted those tolerances are tight, it's an ambitious transformation that could have done with at least one more pass but they are rather neat little Minibot vehicles when you manage it.

    Do you have any Hasbro Legends like Brawn, Outback, Beachcomber, Seaspray, etc.? If so could I request a pic of these together in alt mode?

    A little chonkier and a more 'Toon aesthetic but works for me.

    Why are they still $22 separate and loose?

    I'll pay $15, tops.

    Right now these are the last minibots they have revealed , which makes me sad. I wish they would have done the Throttlebots and spychangers in this scale/size as they have been fitting in perfectly with the hasbro stuff and it was the ONLY thing I bought from this company

    Do you buy from hzj401? He has both loose for 13.99 (Gears) and 12.99 (Swerve). You can always add to cart and request total from seller, he will just charge flat $1.50 for shipping so you'd be looking at $28.50 OTD for the pair.

    Right last request!

    Blows T30 out of the water IMO, T30 has a nicer noggin, to be sure, but it's way too pinheaded in Post-Titans Return Legend scale and likewise his body's way too gangly as well as more limited poseability. Rocke looks like he walked straight out of the G1 'Toon! A beautiful brick body of '84 vintage with better mobility to boot!

    Hmm wow the difference from the T30 version is starker than I thought.... Kinda re-warming up to the MFT one now, despite my recent doubts as more pictures were surfacing. Thanks for the pics and thoughts!
