QUOTE(NICKSTART @ Dec 8 2010, 03:17 PM)  Personally, I want a Banzaitron head. He craves one, but this Bludgeon is good, rationalities be damned. Funny thing is this set may make me consider Banzaitron again. I kind of wanted it but also kind of didn't want one that looks exactly like Bludgeon. Now they'd both have different heads. -------------------- |

Never even saw Banzaitron in stores. I'd buy that head though if I saw the robot. I'm happy with the existing Bludgeon head. I'd buy Whirl/Gyro too.

While it can kinda works of Banzai-tron it favors Bludgeon much more. The only I really want are the swords for Bludgeon, so I don't have to deal with the real ones bending out of shape all the time. -------------------- ***Signature removed by Staff due to size restrictions.

The only I really want are the swords for Bludgeon, so I don't have to deal with the real ones bending out of shape all the time. So true. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-screamer.gif) I want it just as much for the sword as I do the head. Although I do agree that the existing head works pretty well, but it'll be nice to have the option to go G1 slavish regardless of how much sense it makes. For the price, this is pretty impossible for me to pass up. I really love these head upgrades we're seeing recently(Hardhead, Venksta's customs, etc). I too wonder how they're going to handle chroming the sword and not have the turret scrape it all off. The description at BBTS says it has a "finish". |

Even if neither of them actually look like Banzai-Tron? To be honest, with all the extra head moulds Hasbro are doing, I'd have thought they'd have done him a head that looked like him. |

The head as-is is kinda halfway between Bludgeon and Banzai-Tron.
If you're willing to wait, this guy is working on a B-T head. -------------------- |

I went ahead and preordered it. While i love Bludgeon a whole lot, I never really thought his current face was all that great. Let Banzaitron have it. Price is right as well.

I like the new head, but I do not like the explanation for how to get the old head off of Bludgeon.
Preordered for now...maybe a reassuring Youtube video will come out between now and then to assuage my concerns. -------------------- This week at Comic Critics!: Adding insult to injustice

god I love the human skull look on a robot.
Isn't the whole point of transformers to be inherently ridiculous? Thats why I like them anyway. Can I still find Bludgeon in stores at this point, or will I have to get banzaitron and call him bludgeon though? hmm... -------------------- |

You might luck out at any place that might still be sitting on old ROTF stock (Sears maybe? Mine still has a Ratchet...) but otherwise you might be SOL. And Banzai-Tron is not Bludgeon. This is a ridiculous notion. -------------------- QUOTE You're far too young to be this bitter and angry at the world....  |

I can't say as I've noticed any Bludgeons on shelves in recent months, but I know TJ Maxx/Marshall's has been getting a lot of ROTF stuff lately. And thrift stores like Rite Aid and CVS hold onto stock for an awful long time. I've seen both Universe Prowl and Galvatron this week alone.

And what the heck happened to THIS release?
I want my Whirl head, and the cannons to convert that Wreckage toy, dangit! Seriously, it's almost like this kit disappeared completely. -------------------- |

Oh, God, I think my Toys R Us has more Mindwipes on the shelf than there are bricks in the walls.

I do like that the swords are backwards-compatable. G1 Bluddy finally has a sword!

I don't like the head, but I'm a fan of those swords. The floppy, dull grey swords he has now really have to go. Drift suffers from the same problem.
