WANT! I actually like the StarHammer a lot better than the Energon Driller, because we barely never see examples Cybertronian spacecraft, unless a Transformer has it, for an alt-mode. Plus, I have a soft spot for Wheeljack, in any continuity. I'll have to pick up the Driller too, though, because I need the smarmy little motosexual because he's had too much screen time, not to get him, since I'm collecting only the Cyberverse toys, this time around.

 Regular or unleaded? Group: Citizen Posts: 5,953 Joined: 28-September 03 Member No.: 3,634 |
Got the Star Hammer yesterday, and it is indeed super. Auto-transform stuff like this and what the Ark had really floats my boat, and I was suitably blindsided by the use of a GREEN light, instead of the default red. I mean, it's not a BLUE light, which would be best, but green shining through blue plastic looks substantially better than red, which historically looks like consistent ass. Lightpiping naturally doesn't work so great on the figures' individual weapons, but it works a treat on the Star Hammer's included gun and the missile launchers, and through the Cyberverse Commander figures' chests.

I'm asking only because with my budget so tight, I've been trying to guesstimate if I need to split the cost, over a couple of months or not. $30 would be very close to my limit, even doing that. -------------------- CW "We could always force him to watch that security footage of Waspinator trying to play an accordion.

You know... I think the Energon Driller might be roughly in-scale with deluxes...

Resistance is futile, I'm buying both of those.

Like Jeffrey Combs' Ratchet, Knock Out has really taken on a personality all his own and that makes him a must have. Of course, Wheeljack, twin swords, and a starship is toy win for me, too. -------------------- CW "We could always force him to watch that security footage of Waspinator trying to play an accordion.

And that got me wondering about finagling some way about giving Deluxe Knock Out his Cyberverse version's buzz-saw. As for the figure itself... hey, if any Transformer would have a little toy version of himself to display on a shelf and fawn over, it would be Knock Out. (Well, him and Tracks.) -------------------- I exist to serve.
