Picked him up today. Love him. Love the colors. Love the new head sculpt and useable hands. Absolutely love the lifeboat gun. Wished the automorph feature was more fine tuned than Blackout, as well as how the shoulders are attached with those two fragile little plastic tabs.
That lifeboat is money. Colors are sharp, and it's what is hands-down my second-favorite helicopter Transformer ever.
although he is a repaint, and i don't collect them if i have the original mold, there are three reasons why i need him! 1) he has a new head, partner and hand molds 2) he is the only autobot who isn't a truck or a car (in the movie line) 3) i need more autobots for my collection!!
Arcee and the Real Gear Autobots would like to have a talk with you. As for Evac, I might get him, though probably not. It'll come down to an in-person decision.
Definitely passing on this one. 1) The colors are HORRIBLE (IMO) 2) The mold is just plain...not good (and you say the automorph is no better than on Blackout? Ugh)
How does he compare to Cybertron Evac in terms of looks, transformation, articulation, and overall appeal?
I love CYB Evac a LOT. So it's not even a fair comparison. This Evac is cool. But doesn't hold a candle to CYB Evac.
Awesome! Looks like a totally different toy than Blackout with that deco. Hurry up, Wal*Mart! *shakes fist*
Jarodimus picked one of these bad boys up for me, and I have to say, I like it better than Blackout. It doesn't seem to have the Automorph hangup that the first version of the mold has. And the raft/blaster is just pure brilliance. The only hangup is that the tent of the raft falls off of the base of the raft very easily. I don't know if it's supposed to do that, or if this is on the same line as all of the other gluing errors.
As I was trying to remove the raft from the package, the tent popped off. It goes back in fine, but I thought I had broken it. I like this color scheme for Evac. I'm glad they did a slight remold for the head and the hands. I wonder if anyone is going to repaint a mini Scorponok for him?
Good to hear. Mine worked perfectly, too -- noggin flipped around there just like it was s'posed to. Same here. Hasn't fallen off again, though. Coast Guard colors = win! The head sculpt is awesome. And the raft, as stated, is schweet. (Need to come up with a name for it.) Plus, Evac's a TF medic-type, which always makes me happy.
Autobot Evac i picked him up yesterday @ Wally World. i keep my figures MISB so i dont have any other pictures
