The blue plastic used and the silver paint are different. TF2 one is also Peter Cullen's voice but with different phrases.Quote:

Long Haul and Mixmaster from Kmart for $40 each. Easiest price match I have ever done. Still iffy about Mix but no sign of figures assembled the other way.
so blackout and grindor have the same head mold?:(
Got Long Haul today for $40 at Kmart, even with the pricematch he's still my most exspensive movie Voyager.
Also got Jetfire on sale at Target.
Indeed, although it's not immedietely obvious as Grindor's head has very different/more varied paint apps.Quote:

I'm still hesitant on getting a third redeco of this mold mainly to the malfunctioning broken auto-morph. Is it still the case with Grindor or for those that have him... Whirl.
Got me Scalpel, man what a dissapointment, great altmode, but that bot mode sucks, annoying to stand and about half the ball joint sockets have cracks in them!
The automorph feature has not been fixed with Grindor - you still have to pull the leg assembly back (when bringing it down) at just the right angle if you want to see the cockpit rotate around to form the robot chest/head. Overall the build quality of my Grindor is actually worse than my 2007 movie Blackout. :( His plastic somehow seems more brittle and his right arm is incredibly loose at the shoulder (pops off every 2 seconds).Quote:

He's really not that hard to stand if you've transformed him correctly. Just be patient and take the time to position his legs correctly. I think Hasbro did a tremendous job at making his bot mode balance so well despite his awkward frame! 10/10 for me. :DQuote:

Got my movie Wreckage in the post today and now that I see how awesome this mold is I am really considering paying the insane TRU price for the Whirl/Bludgeon 2 pack.
Price matched long haul :D
Picked up Legends Sideswipe & Megatron. The Legends drought is breaking! (:
Yeah, somehow "pink kitty" and "giant killing robot" don't seem to go together well as a theme.Quote:

I know how to put her to use if you plan on opening Scalpel. He claims to be able to put back together almost any living organism, with only a few parts spare at the end.
A big thanks to Omega Supreme for Hotrod and Soundblaster:

Been meaning to get these guys for a while but I got lazy. :o

Legends Megatron actually has a decent tank mode. I reckon its tank mode looks better than both the Leader and Voyager versions.
I hate my self for being extremely slow and for having second thoughts, I was going to PM for that soundblaster! Did he even come with decals?Quote:

Ok for me from the magical studios of lcz128...
This is is a terrible pic coz of the light as he looks blue in the photo but in real life he is all a very sexy shade of lilac. Beautiful work and a worthy addition to the Seeker armada.

Sure, in the Diggerverse he's the retarded cousin of his Classics namesake but he has one cool alt mode!

And from the darkly, paranoid world of FFN, this absolute beast of a Beast Machine...Tankor! I am really impressed with this guy. Badass, Cybertronian Tank mode with awesome gimmicks that don't detract from the toy at all but only enhance playability. Mean bot mode. I'm gunna look out for more non-beast Beast Machines in the future...
Megatron, as Kyle says, has a good tank mode. The robot mode is passable. It's better than the previous Legends Megatron. The arms fuse to form a turret which can move. At legends size, that's impressive.Quote:

To be honest, I reckon they're both worth $7. The legends from this film are (so far) of a higher standard than the legends of the last film.
Went looking for Mighty Muggs Starscream today but came home with this

Haha, you going to leave them MISB or bear the risk of unleashing an ancient curse by opening their tombs? I'd like to see more pix of the baboon, was he a minor character in the show?Quote:

I've defiled the tombs of the Neo figs already, Love 'em. I think Archadis would make an awesome (and accurate!) Velociraptor TF with some retooling.
