Why would you bother? As far as I can tell, the only difference between Crankcase and Berserker's movie models is the later has a red X on his chest. If you already have a second Berserker for the head, couldn't you just paint over the X and be done with it? Cause Hasbro's SS Crankcase is a joke.
They also have different types of legs, also, Crankcase has longer dreads
They're literally the same character model, just a few minor pieces and color differences between them.

Are you thinking of Crowbar, who has the longer dreads (and whose toy they are using to make Crankcase, for some reason)?
https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Crowbar
What really confuses me is, there IS a character who has the same character model as Crowbar, Dreadbot from TLK. That would require some remolding for the vehicle parts, but it would make a heck of a lot more sense than trying to make him Crankcase.

Yeah! Why is that? I mean, I’m pretty sure Hasbro’s main headquarters is in Rhode Island, why aren’t they the first?
They were the first, Hasbro got them first and sold them to the US first. We wrote an article about it:

Yeah.... I don't mean to be racist, but all those 'cons look alike to me.
Clearly some people in charge wanted to make a Predator (Yautja) / Transformer hybrid. And they were so pleased with themselves, that they repeated it twice more.

I'll probably just get Berserker and Crowbar, the decos match on them well enough.

I don't know what that's supposed to be, but that's not his chest, it's the back of his feet
compare the ridges on the sides of it to the ridges on the sides of his feet and you can see the rounded corner on his heels.

For what they are, Bayformers MUST cheat. It's not a new thing and they have no choice.

We don't usually see that level of cheating outside of jets. Most land vehicles tend to be a little cleaner underneath. It's like they needed to give him a bit of height so they made big feet that couldn't fit underneath properly.

Oh. Now I see what you were talking about.
Ew.
They could have at least tried to hide it as a bumper.

I've taken a look at some images of the vehicle he's based on, the Humber Light Reconnaissance Car, and at least one liberty is taken, with the chassis or suspension sticking out a bit too far underneath. All for the sake of heels I suppose.

Probably because most of the Studio Series figures are really really good. And also inflation and other economic stuff which I don't understand because I suck at math

It isn't necessarily a price increase now, TLK deluxes were at $20 MSRP as well.

Probably Licensing, Movie toys have to pay to look like real vehicles and if its anything like past lines, Paramount gets a slice of the pie too. Although my local Walmarts just rollback'd their Studio figures to 16.85

Movie, RotF, DotM were all level with other contemporary lines, licensed or not. Plus, the Bumblebee Movie toys actually has two licenses for vehicles: the Chevrolet Camaro and the Volkswagen Beetle, both for the titular character. While true that the Studio Series has the most licenses of any line, the price hike started with TLK.
What may be a factor is the desire to make a clearer distinction between "collector-grade" and "regular toy" lines, with the former having a slightly higher price tag.

Speaking of the Bumblebee movie, have we heard anything else about that 2-pack with Volkswagen 'Bee and TLK 'Bee? Never got the TLK one, Volkswagen 'Bee has started popping up in stores in my area and I've been debating if I want to pick him up now or wait for the 2-pack, but I can't find anything about it.

Why would it need to be a voyager? Or even match up to Whirl... Is there a connection I'm missing?

I mean, he's a SuperCobra, which isn't a huge helicopter, but its certainly a lot bigger than a VW Beetle.
Then again, he also turns into a muscle car, which would only be a LITTLE bigger, so maybe they just got the robot modes close enough and didn't really worry about vehicle accuracy.
No idea what the Whirl connection is though, does he also have a toy that turns into a SuperCobra, maybe?

The G1 toy, in fact. He's similar to the Bell AH-1 Cobra, of which the current SuperCobra is a variant.

I.... I was just at Walmart.... And it was the one time I didn't look in the Transformers section......
Jk, I did look there, but didn't look at the SS price because all of them were Crowbar. I think he might be shelf-warming worse than Berserker.

Cool mold, lovely deco and really good gun arm integration.
I'm probably late to the party but don't forget to push out the chest for bot mode and then back in for alt-mode. Thanks for the heads up Hasbro

He does look awesome and yeah I didn't realise the chest thing when I got Lockdown until a couple days after I bought him.
Posted by no-one on November 6th, 2018 @ 12:56pm CST
I noticed a pin while transforming him a couldn't figure out why it was there so I thought maybe it was just to hold him together. Then I noticed how weird his chest looked when I TF'd him back into a bot. So I started poking at the inside of the chest and it popped right out. Not the easiest thing to do either way and spent feel good, but drags the ground if left out though and all the art shows the chest out.Carnivius_Prime wrote:He does look awesome and yeah I didn't realise the chest thing when I got Lockdown until a couple days after I bought him.carytheone wrote:Picked up this pickle jar face yesterday!

Alt-mode was larger than expected and seems bigger than the old mold. Won't be able to compare until I get home on Friday. Excepted to see SR next to LD and HR.
