I may have undersold EZ Devastator's size at lunchtime. Here's Devastator alongside Cannon Bumblebee to give you an idea of the scale.

Bought the ice-cream truck as well as Jolt yesterday.



I ended up liking the ice-cream twins toys very much. They only need some extra paint to bring out their moulded details.



As expected I was disappointed with Jolt's likeness to his onscreen appearance (http://www.hk-tf.com/discuz/upload/v....php?tid=13599). His transformation instructions sheet involves a lot less steps than other toys, but is otherwise smooth and decent. Car mode is nice and decent, and I'm not too picky with the central split. Below is my best attempt to reposition his back kibbles to make him look a little closer to his onscreen appearance.

Interesting how the back of Jolt's car mode says "VOLT" which was G2 Jolt's Autobot nemesis. I've not been happy with Paramount/Hasbro transforming Jolt into an Autobot for RotF -- yeah yeah, I know it's a different continuity, but still -- every other Autobot and Decepticon who've appeared in the films have retained their allegiance from their original form to film version... except for Mudflap, but he wasn't G1/G2 so I don't care as much. Oh, and Hightower and Overload too. Gah, shut up inside voice that keeps nitpicking at me!!

Makes me wonder if the original name for this character might've been "Volt" but for whatever reason it changed to "Jolt" by time RotF came out.

"Volt" is the actual name of the real GM concept car, as it is an electric car.

What about Mini-con Jolt? :P

Is the roof of Jolt's car mode a darker shade of blue than the rest? Or is it black? ... either way, is that accurate to the real car?

D'OH! XD

You and my inner voice get out!

It seems to be is a very dark blue, but could be black because I can't really tell without natural light. No idea if it's accurate to the real car or not.

Jolt looks a lot better than I expected. Probably due to all the malformed official pictures making these figures look crap. I was hesitant on the deluxe version but your pics convinced me otherwise Kyle.

The user pictures of Blazemaster looks a lot better than the official ones too. The official ones had the legs straight and stiff when it actually has quite a few articulated joints.

Could be the angle. But he does look alright in some angles. I think he needs a better head and maybe slightly longer legs.

That's what I was thinking - It's a relief to see Jolt actually looks pretty awesome!

I've been playing with the Legends Class ROTF Constructicons tonight and am loving them! As Stompy told me Scavenger (poor late Demolishor's twin brother) is an amazing likeness to his voyager class equivalent, and the others are just as impressive.

Another thing I like about these toys is they feel rather solid and overall they don't feel as fragile as a lot of the other ROTF toys. The alt modes for me are the real highlight as they feature fantastic detailing and they just look so great together as a unit.
