Wait, wait, wait. In the prototype for Human Alliance Mudflap, the robot mode for the cycle is clearly Arcee's (the pink Arcee in the film), but is said to be Chromia. While the pink cycle which comes with Human Alliance Skids has Chromia's robot mode, but is said to be Arcee.

 

[Mr. Earle]

Is there a difference between the human alliance and stardard ones? Besides the human i mean...

Yes. They're larger, more detailed, (arguably) more accurate and can interact with the human characters in various ways. Aaaaaaaand they obviously cost more.

The only really good looking Human Alliance figure I've seen so far is Bumblebee. The others look nifty enough from the front. But the side? Damn, that's a lot of kibble.

 

[craigdbfan]

Human Alliance Sideswipe has a huge backpack and there's very little possibility in his arms.

So yeah like Bamfer said Bumblebee seems to be the best one so far but HA Barricade looks pretty good but we shall see once its released.

 

[d.k.]

Why the hell did they paint Jetfire blue...

 

[Mr. Earle]

I wish they did every robot in the right scale in comparison to the others.... If you want to make your own armies, i suppose it would be something you'd appreciate. From my understanding, the Bikes are as big as Bee.

Deluxe class Arcee sisters are, yes.

You can have a decent size comparison if you choose figures from the right classes. Like, say, Legends Arcee, Deluxe Bumblebee, Deluxe Sideswipe, Delux Skids, Deluxe Mudflap, Voyager Ironhide, Voyager Ratchet, Leader Jetfire and Leader Prime. With other figures, though, it'd be impossible - like Devastator.

 

[NightCrawler]

or Bonecrusher

 

[StreetWarrior]

... or Brawl. They really should have made him voyager instead of deluxe and leader, for scale purposes.

 

[The Original Bamfer]

Yeah, the Decepticons really aren't too lucky when it comes to scaling.

 

[macdawson]

The problem is they are huge. If Leader Class Starscream does come out it will be better scale than Voyager. The autobots, at least the 5 from the first movie were almost in scale to each other, Optimus and Ironhide were just a bit smaler than they should, the new ones, Sideswipe and Jolt are good, Skids and Mudflap should be a bit smaller, the bikes are in scale to each other but too big in the group. Because they are mostly cars, making them in scale is easier than with the variety of machinery the Decepticons emulate wich makes it almost impossible to do them in scale unless they make huge toys. (Not that we would mind that).

On a different subject, has anyone seen the 20''+ Optimus Prime maquette that Sideshow Collectibles is producing? That looks sweet... though the price will be nasty, i really want one of thoose.

I hate the lull between waves of toys

hear ya.....

at this point i'm just waiting on Jolt,Ice Cream Truck Twins,Arcee,and the Devastator Combiner set....going looking on Thursday for Jolt and the Twins....has anyone heard if Devastator has made it to retail yet in the states?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I'm not expecting Jolt till October

 

[PyroChamber]

For some reason I'm not liking the way the Jolt figure looks.

 

[NightCrawler]

i thought i read somewhere Sept was the month Jolt, ice cream and the rest of the scooby gang, released.

Also, for anyone in need of Jetfire... He was OVER packed at my Wal-Mart... so everyone keep an eye out. He was in the middle of the isles, where they have the large cardboard box shelves (i hope you guys know what i'm saying) and not in the actual toy isle where all the other TF figs were on the pegs n shelves... which is where i looked and was dissapointed they werent there, till i made my 2nd trip around the toy isle and found them not in the actual isle.

I heard that Jetfire doesn't sound like himself from the movie at all... and i said, "thats fine. I'm sure its just another voice trying to pull it off, so it cant be too bad." HOLY F**K! What the hell was Hasbro thinkin when they hired the janitor to provide the voice? Hes got a thick scotish accent??? WHAT?!

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

Bought Ravage today, he is awesome, but I also saw Devastator. 124 for him. Couldn't afford him

 

[empire]

Ordered Devastator from bigbadtoystore.com a few days ago and I got it today. Its one big a** toy.

o really??? What states?

Has anyone else noticed that Breakaway is actually pretty cool? I didnt want him cuz hes not in the ovie... hes cool in the game tho. But i passed on him.

Today i went to a 5 year olds birthday party and they gave him Breakaway, Sideswipe, and 2 ravages... And i'm not talkin FAB versions... WHO DOES THAT?! So as he cant do it.. they had his dad do it... So hes tryin his ass off... and cant. But he insist that he can do this... to look cool. The whole time my fiance is going "he (me) can do it no problem..." well problem is.. i know these can be tough... and i never worked with break away b4.. so finally when everyones rootin for me to do it... and the kid... i did it... for the kid. it was his birthday. So yea hes really simple to transform back and fourth without the directions lol. And looks pretty cool.

Of course since i was the kids hero, i was stuck transform'n Sideswipe... back and fourth cuz he wanted robot mode... then he wanted car mode lol i refused at that point to do another

 

[Colossal Spoons]

[Lunar_Wolf]

Going to get Mudflap today. I got Skids, so I need Mudflap.

nm... i found that on Targets site, you can locate toys... i wonder if this truly works, OR if they're just showing which target SHOULD be selling the toys at some point.

I Noticed that Long Haul, Jolt, Arcee... yada yada... have been released onto Target's website... and as you click for more details, you can click to see if a store near you has it. Luckly mine is listed, but as i said... i dont know if this is true

 

[sandmjuggalos]

If Target already has the new wave.....where in the holy heck is the Exclusive Fire Paintjob Fallen?????? Bah!

I checked out all the stores on the list... none had these figures on the shelves. I didnt have the DCPI on me, so i couldnt have them check the back... so they coulda had em in the back... its possible
