I was a bit iffy on this little guy in the packaging, but with KMart sale prices figured what the heck and am really glad I picked him up. The fugly-in-package neon green actually works pretty well out-of-package, though I'd prefer orange myself. In terms of sheer playability/poseability Dirt Boss kicks ass in bot mode - he's up there with some of the better Animated figures. Despite a bit of difficulty getting everything to fit together in alt mode - the steering wheel especially could have been done better IMO - his forklift mode is really fun too.
If you don't have this guy he's totally worth getting, and with the KMart sale he's an absolute steal.
I wish they'd given him the prototype colours as shown in the photograph on the back of the card.
Opened Depth Charge and Ransack today, and I love the two of them, Depth Charge for his simplicity and Ransack for being fiddly... go figure!
But Gravity-bot Bumblebee was the more popular figure with my gf, and the cat, it's a damn simple transformation, but the automation of changing from robot to car just looks spiffy, watched it dozens of times already.
Might pick up a few more gravity bots, but I think I am done with the scouts for now, rollbar and Dead End do not interest me in the slightest
Looking For: Wreckers Saga TPB Collection (with Requiem)
I opened Voyager (under the sea) Megs.
I quite like him, he has his flaws ofcourse but compared to most Megatrons associated with the Movie lines I think he is pretty good.
His tank mode is very wierd, but I do like that it maintains the movie cybertronian look established on previous toys. And the crabshell look makes sense for an armoured fighting vehicle. His colour choices are odd , but I far and away prefer the green/grey with airbrushed silver splashes to the light grey used on the previous movies Megatrons. Although I think the new Leader megs may have more accurate paint aps.
The big winner is the robot mode, he is decently articulated and both his arms have elbowjoints so he can do some cybertronian kungfu on protoform Prime. And a decent headsulpt and his big claws make him look like a menacing Decepticon leader, if a little short. Though he looks just right fighting the protoform cometbots from the previous movie line.
In Transformers slang that's called chucking a Longtooth.![]()
