leader megs - great alt mode i love it, push the missile and it makes a launching sound. the arm spoils it in bot mode:( i spent 10 or somins trying to snap of his leg before i rotated the leg around and realised.
leader OP - great bot mode but i prefer movie one in alt mode. the back wheels are hard to keep straight
demolisher - meh. the treads could have easily been modified to rotate around. good but could have been better
voy OP and del BB, how different are these molds compared to the movie one molds?
I opened Demolishor.
He is the first of the new Movie toys I've bought who hasn't made the grade. I don't mind the strange bot mode, but couldn't they have found a way to make him stand, even using his arms doesn't work cause there splayed.
My other main dislike is the lack of articulation in the arms, he just can't seem to do much with them, if they had at least articulated them so he could punch. He just looks way to static for a guy who can't stand.
He does have some amusing mis-transformation potential though.
That said this is my first ROTF toy that I consider below average. As far as I'm concerned he is the Scorponok of the ROTF line.
Ouch! I don't think he's that bad. But he's certainly at least got a transformation. But point taken. Next to a lot of the ROTF toys he is pretty disappointing.Quote:

It clips to nothing from what I've looked at and have tried so many times. Those two prongs looks like it clips onto something though. Perhaps a secret gestalt mode connector!!!! Ok I stop now....
AAAAAAAAA you tempt me so much to go out and buy every individual constructicon they have a toy of...which i will anyway but arrrghh, you are filling my brain with wonderful thoughts.Quote:

Now I opened Knockout 3 days ago, sigh, everything is there except the left handlebar which i didnt notice at first until I started transforming him again last night.:( and Ive already thrown the reciept and his packaging ( collected as well by the trashies:(. Now I dont wanna buy another one jkust because he's missing that one stupid handlebar (Arrrgh) might have to wait if anyone at Parra Fair sell a broken/incomplete/cheap loose one with that part still intact.
Word of warning to all youse guys scan as much as you can while their still in the store - there's really poor quality control on these ROTF toys :(:(
Just like the first line where the extra detail meant a drop in quality...Quote:
