I'd have a biting rebuttal to that, but I re-watched the video and...uh...good point...dang...
Still an amazing bit of work, and if I could afford it I would, if only to have the novelty of a Bluetooth speaker that can follow you from room to room by itself.
BUT, the reduction in height/mass while still packing in a thousand bucks worth of animatronic technology means it can walk fluidly without having to look like Soundwave is going to poop himself!
Right!
...Right?
...Right...?
"Soundwave, EJECT!"
Eject: "Leave me out of this..."
A retro-throwback to the 'head remold and recolor of a close-enough mold' days of the Botcon and TFSS packs? And I don't understand how Swindle's arm gun fits on the front of the big gun, since there's no peg, but this does answer my question of if Onslaught's own gun is part of Swindle's pack...
I had the G1-ish Runination KO too, he eventually crumbled to dust. But I could see it being the 'go to' next recolor for the molds, especially if they redo the Gigatron. 10-ish changer.
Around here, with hundred buck Onslaught, $43 Swindle and Brawl, $28 Blastoff, and tax, even without shipping it will cost me about $230, give or take a few bucks. More if BBTS is my only source later. But like it or not, I can't swing it right now. I'm not trying to be one of those 'I'll wait...
HAH! I just realized that the pins for the hips are the 'headlights' of the fake Jeep front...
If I ever can get this I am putting Swindle's arm gun on the truck and using any ports on the trailer for the guns from the old Accessory Pack and call it a kiosk. Especially if Onslaught doesn't...
Ok, I really DO like that...and the main topic article was hilarious. But seriously, the extra bits do fit with Swindle. You know he probably sold Onslaught that trailer in the first place.
Assuming the blurry pics starting to circulate are authentic, Swindle gets a minor trailer too, to support his extra guns. I look at it as extra props for pics. This really is an excellent set if you're only able to get one frame-style combiner. I'm hoping it lasts long enough to fall into my range.
Pure joy that can double as a mortgage or car payment. A couple of them, actually. The lineup would have been a nice few months rent in my old apartment.
Edit: Terrible idea of the moment-
Soundwave: "Budget considerations, REJECT!"
*presses his own shoulder button. His chest opens and...
So for the first time, if you can't find your Bluetooth speaker, it's probably because it walked off. By itself.
Though their 'realistic motions' for walking does make it look like Soundwave has to visit the...Energon Depository, let's just say...though that may just be a BotBots homage, and...
My guess is to avoid having to put a lot of the connector holes on the top of the otherwise smooth shuttle. The underside of most airplane Transformers is a mess anyway, so fewer would notice it, especially in robot mode or when sitting on a shelf as a shuttle, but you can't hide the top.
Tried to get a photo of all my ninja transformers, it was hard to get them all in one frame, so I left out a few of the more common ones to fit in the characters with less representation.
The two different pipe sizes behind Bruticus's head are to make high and low tones for when he's doing Military Band parades. He's the Band. Soundwave objects to this but keeps getting drowned out by the 'sad trombone' at 175 decibels.
Edit: The 'ears' on Bruticus could make a third set of...
I do still wonder why the buggy has Fortress Maximus's head. It just strikes me as so odd whenever I see it. Though I guess this one is Grand Maximus's.
I admit I didn't get some of the references or controversies going on, so I looked him up on TFWiki.
Me: "I'm confused."
My Brain: "Which part of the article?"
Me: "The entire thing."
My Brain: "Oh, that part...uh...Yeah, that's a stumper..."
Seriously, if someone did half of this and was...
My guess is that after the 'Side Burn' like Twin Mill the next will be more 'Hot Rod' like (red w/yellow flames). Now where's my Shark Bite SkyByte homage? Or does CyberWorld count for that already?
