If only a voyager! This guy is totally rockin:cool:

[Decepticon]

Yeah, needs to be a voyager. But other than that he is a good figure.

[Tallestblue]

Yeah, this guy NEEDS to be a Deluxe sized toy or bigger.

[liegeprime]

Sigh, small :(... like powerglide.. awesome mold but yeah... small:(:(:( ah well Id still buy it

[Paulbot]

But the original Guzzle and Powerglide were Mini-bots and people tend to complain if a minibot has a large toy (Ultra Powerglide, Voyager Seaspray). This scale seems best for them if you want to repurpose them as classics substitutes.

And these are Cyberverse toys so, in terms of scale, they are correctly bigger than all the cars at Legion size, in fact they are basically Leader class for that line.

I think if he were released as generations deluxe size - he would make a good fit with warpath and bumblebee.

[SkyWarp91]

Kind of annoying that he is the only new figure in a whole case assortment of 5 other re-releases/repaints, making him an even rarer figure to get while stores get clogged with more COmmander Class Optimus Primes, Megatrons, Powerglides, Ironhides and Blackouts

[Gutsman Heavy]

So, he out yet?

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Nice little guy in bot mode, brickish in alt mode. Could do with a bit more arm movement IMO, but he is just a Scout/Cyberverse Commander figure.
Worth picking up if he's going cheap, and makes it over to Oz.

[griffin]

Yes... must buy. A nice toy. But the shoulders could be better. And I'm not sure about the point of two tiny guns.

So, he out yet?

Saw him at Kmart today. :)

Okay, well finally he is out... might have to visit my local Kmart in a few days ... coz mine tend to be late in restocking... hopefully they do it sooner.

Saw him at Kmart today. :)

What a way to end the drought (albeit very briefly no doubt :rolleyes:)! Can't wait to pick up a Guzzle :D

I just found a Guzzle last night at Kmart Geelong, and he is a fantastic little guy.

He has quite a lot of details taken from Roche's Wreckers design, albeit movie-fied. His head can turn, but only just, the back of his head hits some shoulder stuff but that can be easily shaved down so he can look around :D.

His tank mode is how Gen Warpath's should have been, not some stupid H-class.

[i_amtrunks]

Not a bad figure. Looks great in both modes, once you get all the plastic tabs aligned.

Transformation is as basic as expected in such a tiny figure, his robot mode does an excellent job of masking just how tiny he ends up in alt mode. I think some of the Legends figures from previous lines are bigger, for about a third of the price.

Still worth every cent to stand alongside his LSotW brethren.

He is one of my fav DOTM figures! Such a great shout out to the LSOTR incarnation as well as the original toy. Like everyone else, would have preferred him to be bigger but he is still bigger than his G1 counterpart (whcih you can see in this thread: http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=15361)
