Rumble/Ravage MP/G1 comparison shot

After watching that video review, I have decided that I really don't like these at all.

Several things that irk me - Rumble's guns / pile drivers not part of the figure but an extra accessory. This is disappointing given that the designers were able to incorporate this into the designs for both Laserbeak / Buzzsaw. Transformation is so similar to G1 Rumble, which when you consider this is suppose to be a 'Masterpiece', it is far too simplistic.

Ravage looks hollow in cassette mode to accommodate the rockets; would have preferred to have them as a separate accessory in this case to avoid sacrificing the aesthetic of the alternate mode. The reviewer even mentioned that Ravage was so fragile that he broke him during transformation.

$60 - not worth it at all and any thoughts I had about purchasing the Hasbro version just for the cassettes is gone.

i totally agree with that ravage look so fragile , i can just seeing myself playing with him and a leg or two break off ! they look like match sticks.Plus the reviewer say that he broke ravage in the middle but from the video it looks like that thickest part of him:confused:

Woo hoo, got my shipping notice from RK today and comes with coin too

Really? -Wow that's quick! :eek:
My HLJ preorder is 'Processing' & from the looks of things they're only going to cost me $50 to my door, I'm quite pleased & happy with this as it leaves more funds in the bank for the fortress-sized elephant in the room. ;):)

Correction: I've literally just received my HLJ shipping notice! :D:D:D
These guys should arrive by this time next week! :eek::D:cool:

With all the other things going on I forgot to make my preorder! Thinking of getting the Hasbro Soundwave with all the tapes. Will cost about the same as the two Takars sets. Do we have a release date?

But this time im going to be the one who is after the coin. Rumble and Ravage are very important to me. They were the frist two bots I ever got. Its Ravage and Rumble who started it all for me.

Yes, I would wait for the local Hasbro version if I were you. :) I've already gotten MP Soundwave, so I'm pretty much "committed" to getting the TakTOM Cassettes, but if I didn't have any of 'em I'd wait for the Hasbro version.They're slated to be released by September IIRC.

That should mean that they're not taking any further orders, but existing pre-orders will still be honoured. Is it on your current orders list?

What Gok says is exactly right; My preorder read the exact same until they arrived in their warehouse and the ball started rolling. ;):)

I hope by now that they've sent you confirmation of your order & that they're presently on their way to you. ;):cool:
