Looks like he's flipping the bird.

Unintentional, I swear! Just didn’t look right to me if I had him knifehanding it

Man, that sounds like a great idea, and probably something Leadfoot would actually do too

yeah topspin has hit the shelves in Ireland now too.

seen him in jervis st smyths in Dublin today when i went into town to get transformers 84 no. 3 (which is sold out, i just nabbed the last one in sub city which is around the corner of the aforementioned smyths ).

i DIDNT see a soundwave, but theyve got snapdragon too.

its a relief to see i can get him in a bricks and mortor store as postage is killing me.

OK, Jervis St. Smyths may be the most UK name in the history of UK names. Seriously.

I feel pretty good with this 4-legged stance

So Target.com just charged my card, I hope this means my online Leadfoot order is shipping soon...

That 4 legged stance looks ggggrrrrrrrrreat!

The SS is too, i really like what they did with it. And I love the saw. I just wish I had the missile battery to go with it.

I'm still kind of hoping for a SS DOTM Starscream with a darker gray base color and the gatling gun/missiles. I've tried to stick with 1 figure per character (Bumblebee being the exception), but SS Starscream is great so I wouldn't mind double dipping.

Forget G1 green and purple, give us a redeco colored like Tony the Tiger!

TF source has the Devastator box set up for the almost unicron price of $499.99

$500? I wonder if that’s just a preliminary price tag because all the individual components come out to $260. Maybe there’s two of him in there?

Found Topspin and Satellite Soundwave today along with most of the new wave of Star Wars (only missing Beskar Mando, the one I wanted most, dammit!). Topspin is decent, alt mode’s meh but compliments Roadbuster very well (and I assume Leadfoot *ifihadone.jpeg*). Soundwave’s robot mode is good and the satellite mode is okay but both are bridged by a fiddly transformation (even if it’s ten steps) and it’s a pain for me to get my one’s legs to stay tabbed in. Overall I’d give both a 7/10.

$500??? And I thought the $60 they're asking for the new Netflix voyagers was ridiculous.

I have a feeling that is just TFSources price for the time being, they always add extra on top.

Yeah, but not that much extra.

It's gotta be a placeholder price until Hasbro announces the real one.

Is there any indication yet that the Devastator giftset will offer anything different or extra compared to buying the pieces individually? (Other than the fact that the set comes with the screen accurate yellow right leg Skipjack, which you can get at regular retail anyway.)

A previous pic suggested that Long Haul might have a more sandy deco.

Speaking of Skipjack, do we have confirmation of an assembly fix? And no, stock images don't count, as Skipjack's is just Rampage's recolored.

So I ran up to a couple of Targets in my area and asked them about Leadfoot. They said that they have stock but they’re street dated to 9/11 and will absolutely not sell them to anyone before that day due to the complaints about people buying up all the stock beforehand and breaking street dates. So that’s good I guess?

Foiling scalpers always is.

I'm guessing that with what happened with the g.i.joe snafu, they're gonna be taking much firmer stances with street dates

It’s exactly what it is. I asked them about their GI Joe stuff in addition to Leadfoot but they referenced the craze for them as the cause of their newfound strictness on street dates. I’ve managed to get a Beachhead but that’s the only one from the Cobra Island group I’ve been able to find, Roadblock is starting to shelfwarm here and Baroness and the Cobra Troopers are hard as nuts to find, and I refuse to pay aftermarket prices for them no matter how much I want them and how spangly they are.

Yep, that's definitely worth an extra $240.

Who said Long Haul was the only one to have changes?

The only changes that warrant a higher price would be more plastic added. A new paint job is mot, unless it makes the figures rare, and even then it's not worth double re price. But as it was said, it'll change once Hasbro gives their official amount.

Guys, I just bought myself a Skipjack! He is out in the wild.

(Man, I've waited a long time to say this)

BEHOLD - THE ETERNAL GLORY OF JETFIRE!

I found this guy at Walmart last night! I had a gift card I was saving for Topspin and Skipjack, but there's no way I'll see this guy in stores again.




I love this figure. It's incredible that they managed to pull off both modes so well and still have combination as an option - the only complaint I have is the beard and whiskers sticking out of the SR-71. The kibble besides that is spectacularly managed, though: it's kept really thin and evenly distributed. Glad he comes with both his axe and cane, and it's just an incredible figure all around. I won't be able to combine Jetfire with Optimus till late November, but that's something to look forward to! I'll have to get DOTM Prime's legs back from SS-05 so I can combine them.

Oh, and Mixmaster is almost done! Just have a few details in vehicle mode and combined mode left to tackle. Hoping to have it done this weekend.

I found SS Leadfoot, Topspin, and Soundwave tonight at Target. Gonna be 2 days before i open them most likely, but I have secured them! Wreckers complete!

just waiting on my Target pre-orders for Skipjack and Blitzwing, and Amazon to ship my Cliff

Nice, make sure to post what you think of them! I'm hoping I can go looking for Leadfoot later this week.


I really appreciate Studio Series' dedication to screen accuracy, but having parts on Jetfire actually break might be a bit much.


This was after just a few transformations, from what I've read it's fairly widespread. Anyone encounter this issue and have a fix? I have a pin remover that came with my SS Ironhide DNA upgrade kit, but that's back home along with my model cement and other stuff that might help in fixing this. Unfortunately, Jetfire's going to be a statue for the next couple months, but at least he's a very cool looking statue.

I will be posting thoughts, the Wreckers roster being complete is huge for me, I'm super excited!

I haven't encountered that as far as I can tell. My Jetfire is still pretty good.

On Jetfire, since I am reorganizing my shelves, I can't decide whether to uncombine him or not. I have the original leaders combined, so I should uncombine the new ones, but the 4 voyager Primes I have are all fulfilling different purposes: 1 Bee movie, 1 Bay movie, 1 with Jetfire, 1 with the DotM flight tech.

New arrivals



Some initial thoughts: Leadfoot is wonderfully chonky and feels nice and full. I am really digging him at the moment.

Soundwave isn't as bad as a bunch of people are saying. I actually like the satellite mode, it's fun for me.

Topspin is one of those rare figures where i think the new SS figure is a downgrade on the original DotM figure. The original is really strong, one of the best movie figures made, and this one just isn't as good it feels. also, the claws and guns are made from really soft plastic, I do not like it.

On another note, I have finally completed another dream: the completion of the DotM Wreckers in armored form and in scale with each other

Wreck n' Rule, NASCAR style

Wow! The movie Wreckers look really good grouped up like that, makes me wonder if I should have picked Roadbuster up when I seen him at Target How distracting is his backpack bits? And is the shoulder dealys on Topspin intrusive as well?

Roadbuster's backpack isn't that distracting, the armored bits are the visible ones, making him still look good and mean. And Topspin has some serious shoulder to him, but it isn't in the way, it's movie accurate and quite posable too

Are Topspin and Leadfoot's heads swappable?

EvasionModeBumblebee wrote:Are Topspin and Leadfoot's heads swappable?

I thought the same thing as you did! quite possible, but my heads don't really want to come off at the moment.

So some thoughts on some figures with some pictures.

Soundwave really isn't too bad. Is he simple and underpainted? sure. But he's still not bad, I like his satellite mode. It's how I'm going to display him



Up next is Topspin. This is one figure where I feel like the SS figure is good, but the OG was better. I really like the DotM deluxe, and this one doesn't quite live up to it. But I am super happy with the sculpt (even if more yellow was needed) and I love having a field of Wreckers






And finally, have a shot of basically all my SS figures together with part of the cast awaiting updates, as a full 6-movie panoramic

Got lucky at a local Walmart and was able to pick up Blitzwing and Skipjack.

SGM

I gave up on collecting SS a while ago, but I might pick up Blitzwing just because how good he looks. Definitely a prime repaint candidate.

I was able to snag my Leadfoot in store this morning and am glad to see that he is still available online. Take that scalpers that cleared out the pre-orders!

Im still hoping I can find him in a store.

I've started not worrying too much about Target pre-orders and quick sellouts online. Thanks to Redwing, the Rainmakers, and now MPM Starscream, Ratchet, and SS Leadfoot, it's become pretty easy to wait and get stuff, it will come to you eventually.

Just placed an order for Leadfoot through in-store pickup. I'll head out later today to get him, I'm really glad I was able to get one! I'm having some flashbacks to picking up HA Leadfoot from Target all those years ago.

Nice! Leadfoot is quite fun, i need to take more pictures with mine, he arrived at shelf adjustment time, so he, Topspin, and Soundwave all got incorporated since those were the shelves I was working on then

SGMLordMirage wrote:Im still hoping I can find him in a store.

I just ordered him off the website so he's up there.

Got stupid lucky after getting off work. Not only did I find their last Leadfoot, but also scooped up their only Baroness w/ COIL bike! Getting good and drunk tonight in celebration!

Thats awesome!

"Let's get some!"

"You got that right."


(The blue thing over Steeljaw's eyes was a first take at making sunglasses for him - I'll keep working on that).

Leadfoot is in, and I really like it! I love how they got the chest to compact in particular, it doesnt have all the gaps and empty space that the previous Leadfoot figures had. Proportions are spot-on, sculpting is great, the only thing are those missiles that don't like to stay on in robot mode, which I think I'll be able to fix pretty easily.

I also picked up some metallic red paint while I was out, so I can start painting Leadfoot soon! I'm hoping to have Mixmaster done tomorrow and ROTF Megatron done not too long afterwards.

"Autobot victory!"

I'm totally going to lose Leadfoots's weapons.
