The soundbox just won't shut up with Mixmaster.
I still think it's a bit too pricey for the play value. For me anyway. I appreciate the conversion for the lot but I'm not willing to pay about $200 for them.
Still looks too cheap and out-of-proportion to me. I hope Hasbro plan to make combining constructicons in the future. Even it meant no robot mode, but a massive and detailed Devastator at the end.
not convinced... :(
I'm tempted to get the individual bots and make up my own combination... :o
that is if its coming out indivudually? what do you guys think?Quote:

I do like the size of their alt modes! Scavenger is HUGE! But yeah, as FR said, their detailing and lack of paint is really bad.
I guess you could find construction toys in the same scale as ROTF TF's to take apart and customize. All these ideas floating around in my head.Quote:

Doesn't seem like they invested much in R&D for this thing.
I'm not convinced but I'll bite. I suspect they'll be like Ult BBs. We should be able to get them for about $100.
Why is demolisher renamed to scavenger, also in the movie, devastator was climbing the pyramid but you see bumblebee fighting rampage, how is that possible isn't he meant to be a part of devastator, same goes for mixmaster and long haul.
Because they were non-robotic vehicles that were "gathered" for formation. ;)
Anyways, yes, I see very little play value in those toys, and little to no details on the vehicles to make up for their very simple and base conversions.
And could you imagine a kid trying to pull those toys apart? Looked like the adult was having to put in some force.
*cough*Quote:

I'd like to see Hasbro give us the Animated Constructicons - they don't need to combine since they never did in the show. I just wants them is all. :(
Wouldn't mind it if it cost $100 or less. One of my main concerns is where I'd put the blardy thing - It's huge!
I like it, I think it will be a good toy, I hope it is under $150, but even worst case if it is $200, it would be close to that on a 20% off sale.
Amen to that! :DQuote:

I'll grab one for about $80-90 or not at all (I hope)
WTF, non robotic vehicles, that sucks also why do they have the same names then?Quote:

You could go for the authentic look and play with them in the sandpit?Quote:

There are many Constructicons with the same body-types.Quote:

He was joking.Quote:
