It is enough to regain my interest as the CGI renders made the proportions looks off. They look much better in plastic.

Proportions are still a little odd, but they are Jumpstarters.

I like the accessories, hope these guys are a lower price point than their Wrecker buddies.

I like the look of them. They still look like jumpstarters and thats a good thing. Its who they are. Hope not to expensive. Thats why I don't have not broadside yet. :-(

Quality seems good, from what Peaugh's said about the thumb piece, buy transformation is a bit simplistic for a modern third-party transformer, and coming from a designer who worked with MMC. Agree with Lord_Zed and Vert, a lower price point would help it sell.

I think Ill grab these, though hopefully not pricy. Those 3rd party Junkion add ons looks nice too as well as the shockwave add on - that clear mini shockwave gun is awesome!!

Up for preorder at BBTS. (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/search.aspx?search=mech%20ideas) $70 for the pair. That's a fairly decent price considering.

That is a good price. They look pretty good in colour too I think. Now to have the funds to pay for them :p

Yep, good price and good representation of those characters. Certainly bought, we needed good modern representation of those characters and Mech Ideas is delivering.

That's just kinda weird. I mean I get the homage but, it's still odd.

It would be cool for a diorama with MOTU Classics Molar though.

I really like this :)

Was not going to get these two before because of their simplistic engineering, but this puts be back on the fence.

I went ahead and just added these to my POL on BBTS as shipping was only going to be like $5. They'll go well with the upcoming Hasbro Roche Springer.
