    Did they take the head from SS Long Haul and reuse it for Scrapper? Can someone post pictures of them side by side?

    Overload has a dedicated port for Scrapmetal's shield.

    Arms are not bad. They seem to be the same length. Just one arms has long fingers.

    Also, thanks for that review on Sentinel. There is a lot to look forward to. Any chance you will do a review for Scrapper?

    I feel like this Devastator combiner video was rushed out by Ton Ton. It doesn't answer any questions I and others had about poseability, transformation, etc. The video just shows him placing the upper neck with no signs of tabbing in to Mixmaster. I'd rather he wouldn't have done the video.

    Wow, that's a lot of "putting together" for absolutely zero showing of the "put together" mode.

    Yeah, I think Ton Ton is one of the worst reviewers out there, but his appeal is that he gets figures early (unfortunately). You can contrast that with someone like Kevin Liu who did both Sentinel and Scrapper reviews and despite the language barrier, you come out with a good idea of what the figure is capable of. It's been obvious for a while that he doesn't take the time to figure out how to properly transform a figure, how to show off the subtleties and articulation, and why we should buy a figure. I'd rather his source that gets him the figures just send it to someone more competent. I remember Prime vs Prime got an early Roadbuster for example but his review showed off the figure well even if he didn't have instructions.

    Agree.

    It's almost like he was merely pointing out that they combine; like it was a hidden feature that was discovered. lol

    Yeah my go-to guy is Wotafa, he is simply elegant and amazing the way he conveys his reviews, and I don't even speak *insert language here* (I'm not 100% sure which Asian language he speaks)

    Wotafa is my favorite reviewer too! He actually does things when transforming figures that are more delicate and thus prevent breaking or shearing something. His review of MP43 is a memorable example for me. Too bad he hasn't done a lot of TF reviews recently, and was looking forward to a Blackarachnia review which he never did. Also, he is Japanese.

    Nope, but it seems they based Overload's head on Long Haul's

    WTF was that video? He videoed the whole transformation and then just posted screen shots of the combined mode? Did her run out of film!?

    You watch a TonTon video because he's first, not because his presentation is any good or makes any sense.

    Time to stop watching hit reviews and maybe he start to make it proper. Thanks for warning, I will never look at his review again.

    I guess actual thing is how can you pose Devastator. It looks like it is not possible to give him his gorilla-like pose.

    Okay, I got really tired of the "thumb" and found this alternate hand configuration by basing it off the original concept art. So much better. Really wished the crane had more points of articulation...

    Yup, this was revealed during Toy Fair/Wonderfest.

    Ok, I have a question. I’m not asking this to be demeaning or to seem superior. What do you guys like about Scrapper’s vehicle mode? It feels kinda like everyone likes it but me (not that I really dislike it, it just feels like it doesn’t fit it. It looks less realistic and more futuristic). I really want to like it, but I kinda feel like I’m missing something.

    Also, I should clarify, besides that, I love Scrapper
