"After eating too much rainbow ice-cream, Devastator(TM) feels horribly ill and vomits up the contents of his stomach, consisting of his valiant-yet-tasty foes and unfortunate allies both. Their paint-work stained beyond repair, these once-proud warriors must wage a battle to the death with both each other and their own fashion sense.
Also available: Dessert Ruins Brawl (with Jolt)."

Details updated, now that they have been released at BigW this month.

That pretty much sums up these sets in a nutshell.

$29.95 is a great price for 2 deluxes, but...my god those are some terrible colour choices. I saw them in person today, and Barricade and Bumblebee in particular literally look like cheap knock offs.

The Sideways vs Twins set is a good pick-up though.

Ugliest. Repaints. Ever.

There's always f'uglier. ;)

They really have this KO paint jobs look to them. :rolleyes:

I only got the ice-cream truck & sidways 2-pack as those didn't have much variance from their actual colours.

I'd buy the sideways/ twins pack as I think they are more movie accurate. But wouldn't bother with the rest.

u know that thrust could be a ramjet or other renamed seeker;)

I see it as an Apeface homage.

And I like it.
