Two new figures make their way into the Toy Gallery section, those being Evac and Rampage from the Revenge of The Fallen N.E.S.T. Alliance toy line! When Rampage was first released in Revenge of The Fallen, he was sold in a yellow deco for unconfirmed reasons, but likely due to a last-minute change in the film, causing the toy to be inaccurate until now. Evac may also ring a bell, as a similar toy was sold in the first film's toy line.

I passed on Blazemaster, but will pick up Evac. Much better paint application this time. As for Rampage, I prefer the TT release. Far too much red on the Hasbro version; seems unfinished.

Nothing better than movie accuracy.

Despite this Rampage being more movie accurate, the Japanese version is still way more movie accurate.

Even being more movie accurate, I still like the Yellow Rampage better. It is more "constructicon" to me. There is no need for me to buy this. It is an interesting mold though, so people should pick it up if they think it looks neat.
Evac can go and get lost. The Blazemaster mold is something I wish I didn't buy the first time. I really think it is a piece of trash.

Wow! Really? It's one of my favorite molds from the movie series. It's one of the best examples of hiding the entire robot in the vehicle mode. I was admiring how nearly perfect the vehicle mode disguises that it turns into a robot.

If he had better arms, I'd really like him. The transformation is pretty interesting (give or take a few fidgity spots) and the vehicle mold is really nice, but the robot mode is crushing in its disappointment.

I got the first movie Evac and it's great (an orange Blackout). However Blazemaster is terribly dissapointing: chicken legs, panel arms, very weak in general. It's a nice helicopter, but not my favourite helicopter model either.
So, no, i'm not getting this Evac repaint.

I don't have firsthand experience with the Blazemaster mold, but it does look pretty bad, mainly due to the weird proportions and poor arms. However, I'd consider buying it if they ever did a green repaint as Springer.

I couldn't have said this any better, you took the words right out of my mouth.

I think that is pretty much why I don't like it. I was super-excited to get Blazemaster when I saw the pictures, and I jumped on it when I saw it at the store. I think the copter mode is extremely good. I just really hate the bot mode. It looks so weak in real life. Also, I hate the "feel" of the toy. It is one of those TFs that constantly makes me think it is going to break. I don't like that in a toy. I can totally see why other people like the mold though. It has its merits, and it has a fantastic alt mode. It just isn't for me in the slightest, however.

Blazemaster's arms are really bad, but what annoys me the most about the figure is the chest and whole back assembly. They don't attach or look right in anyway. Parts that don't lock in is one of my pet peeves when it comes to transformers.

That too. That is actually one of the few things that can make a potentially great figure crappy in a hurry. Although I absolutely love the Movie Ironhide mold (yes, I really do), it doesn't have a very good locking mechanism for the waist. That annoys me.

Hey guys, enough about how bad or good these guys are. The point is that Ryan has provided us with another two great galleries to view!

Yes, that's good and all, but the actual point is that these galleries help formulate and express our opinions. Without negative feedback towards Hasbro toys, the company would keep churning out repaints until the mold breaks in half. With negative feedback, the company will stop repainting figures that sell bad. Of course it's all about having fun, don't be discouraged from other people's opinions.

I understand that hasbro can be on the repaint happy bus 
, but what i dont understand is that why would hasbro, repaint Blazemaster into Evac, when from the first movie Evac was already done and in a much much better mold and a voyager class figure? I've had Blazedmaster and all i can say that its ok, just not the best i've seen coming from hasbro and could have been alot better and i do like the repaint of Blazemaster into Evac, i just a different name should have been implied. I believe someone mentioned this should have been Springer a few posts back and i highly agree! or Spinster or even Blades! Hell this guy should have been repainted into Decepticon Vortex!!
