Overall, not a bad bunch of mechs. The heads could be better, but I'm sure people out there are already cooking up replacements for thses. I mean Deluxe and Voyager size tfs. That means we have the entire Unicron Trilogy of tfs to consider as head-swapping material.
I like:
Racthet
Ironhide
Blackout
Starscream is ok, but he isn't really StarScrea at all.
They shoulda called him Blitzwing if you ask me.
Plane bot, likes destruction= Blitz and Wing!

1 Scorponok is staying in alt mode when I get him.
2 These movie toys seem capable of some dynamic poses, to me that makes up for alot in the way they are designed.

I imagine it has something to do with Transformers being sentient whereas all of the other examples are not.

Maybe so, but you take Quazi-moto, make him the best ninja that ever lived, & he's still damn ugly.Liege Evilmus wrote:2 things,

....figured it'd be better than the traditional "an articulate piece of sh*t is still a piece of sh*t" line....
Nevertheless, these guys are starting to grow on me....kinda like alternative rock did in the 90's.....thought it really sucked but after a few years of that being about all that was available my standards dropped & now I like it some now.

Yes, the robot mode is ropey but as a standalone figure without a 2ft Blackout toy to plug into he'd be a bit pointless unless he turned into something more than 'a bit of an engine'. I have heard that there's a gear on Scorpy's back that connects to voyager Blackout's rotor mechanism, but it was a long time ago somebody said it and I've seen no more about it since.

Exactly what I thought when comes to the words written on Scorponok.
And, as with most of the comments in thsi thread, Scorpy will be staying alt mode from the moment I get him!

Nonetheless, his scorpion mode makes up for it

I guess it's possible. Though, I have to say that I bet they don't cover Skorponok scanning his new mode in the movie. Either that or Blackout just assigns him one. As pointed out in this thread, it just seems a bit hard to explain, so I bet it's avoided in the film altogether. Just my theory.

I wouldn't doubt that for a second. Trust Hollywood to skip out the science!

See, I would be first in line for a Ninja HunchBack Movie.
Still, I agree, I'm not a fan of the overall movie concept. But seeing that those "ugly pieces of sh*t" can bend and balance they way they do gives me hope that future lines will benifit from such progress. So my dollar will go hopefully towards that.
As for ugly bots in my collection, well, every group needs some Bezerkers("My love for you is like a truck... ").
As for Alternative Music, everything about calling top 40 THAT is wrong, and my friend, I'm sorry you got sucked in.
Up The Irons, and WHAM forever!

I dunno. Though, I don't think anything could make his robot mode better (or worse for that matter).
