eww...

This guy should have never been made a toy. Put a doll head on him like Sid's toy from Toy Story 1 that had legs of an erector set, that's where he belongs.

Re: eww...

OT- I just saw "Toy Story" for the first time a few weeks ago... on YouTube... not that great. Nor was the sequel.

Not a Pixar Fan

You know the character I'm talking about then. Dude... Pixar rules see Wall-E, Ratatouille or The Incredibles. Great Movies!

Re: Not a Pixar Fan

Oh, I didn't say I wasn't a Pixar fan. All I meant was that their flagship film wasn't that great, even if it was the first full-sized CGI motion picture ever made.

BTW, I am a fan of "The Incredibles" (dude, ElastiGirl was [hot]) and "WALL-E" (sci-fi-film-tributes-galore).

I like this toy. It's

I like this toy. It's different and therefore interesting. who cares he doesn't do much, it's not like you buy him for the playability. You buy him for Herr Doktor! :D And his looks :)

Re: I like this toy. It's

Agreed- I got him for his aura, his creepiness, not because he posed well. This is one of those toys that, going into it, I got even knowing that there would be a handicap in some fashion. Do I wish he looked more screen-accurate? Absolutely, but this is an okay-filler.

Any other Scouts you'll be

Any other Scouts you'll be covering? They look unexpectedly cool. Apart from the redecos.

I'm debating getting Ejector, and maybe Depth Charge. Beyond that...

I just got a small pack from Hasbro with several Scouts, Ransack seems cool, but Dead End and Depthcharge are A-OK as well :)

I would need to double-check

I would need to double-check the list of available Scouts; I know I turned most of them down other than Scalpel, Ejector, and Depth Charge. I thought the motorcycle was pretty cool, but I thought it was a repaint...?

The red one is. Knock Out

The red one is. Knock Out was repainted into Reverb (looking at him while writing this). Dead End became Night Beat, not sure about the others yet. One is sure, original colours usually fit the Scout mold much better, especially the motorcycle you're talking about.

I think Ransack is most interesting since he's the only Transformer up to date that changes into a WW1 airplane. We've seen pretty much all other alt modes here or there in the TF-verse.

And five years later, the review remains uncorrected. Does this site lock you from ever revising them once you submit them?
