I would have preferred it if they'd reinvented Broadside's third mode as a Cybertronian giant spaceship thing like Astrotrain, I think it would have fit better for a giant guy. But I guess it's easy enough to pretend that's what it is, and that cockpit's just a giant skylight.

I like the idea of a robot that turns into a city that other robots live in but I won't pretend it's ever been done well. Bland "white plus primary color(s)" coloring isn't helping a bit.

I do seriously wonder if there's a way to flatten those legs out. Doesn't look like it. Broadside looks way better than his prototype did, though, and that headsculpt will look great on other robots.

Other than Arcee there

This is why IDW Fort Max is best Fort Max

And generally in the best parts of MTMTE's run

"The entire history of this incarnation is one of temporal orbits, retcons, paradoxes, parallel time lines, reiterations, and divergences. How anyone can make head or tail of all this chaos, I don't know."
I could see them using Hot Rod as a jumping off point for retools, but not a straight palette swap. The head is a big giveaway.

The head that comes off and is easily switched out. Also Blurr is probably closer to Arcee's altmode anyway.

Hopefully it's just a pallet swap job to illustrate the idea before working on a new head. And hopefully there will be a blue one in a nod to a better iteration of the character.

If they do do Tidal Wave from Broadside as rumored, they should use the Takara/show colorscheme so he ends up colored like Ramjet in jet mode.

Also Tidal Wave's US toy colors are a mess.

Hey the guy from Semisonic I am loving my Metal Earth Megotron, I have the entire lower legs assembled and I am having such a blast with this kit. I have only had to reconstruct one part with hot glue due to bad instructions and my own dumb fault. Thanks again for the great gift.

I won $100 gift card to Walmart at my holiday party so I am going to use a chunk of it to buy all the Metal Earth Transformer kits for a upcoming trip.

Yeah but the production image only showed the transformed mode, it still probably would have been a different head.

I did not pay that much (purchased through work) but they are pretty goddamned big. I will put a few comparisons together later tonight.

Just went to the local comic store and walked out with the Revolution MTMTE and LL #1, plus a RoTF Ransack. He's pretty cool. He's staying in Vehicle mode though, cause of movie designs.

While looking him up on TF wiki, I saw Reverb. I now really need to find one because he looks just like the Go-bot Dart, who I could never transform right.

Here's a picture of my awesome new R-Gyagya Gundam, with my modified Tyron from last year's Secret Santa, and Kreo Slingshot, Warpath, Bludgeon, and Rampage.

Not pictured: duplicate Slingshot, the delicious champagne and beer jelly beans, and crispy M&Ms. There was an... incident, and they were devoured. (Not the extra Slingshot, though it was a close call.)

EDIT: I forgot about Animaniacs! Guys I also got volume one of the Animaniacs cartoon, which also happens to be exactly my jam. :) I was too busy posing these guys to remember.
