Curious, do one of the skelebois in the movie actually have a scar like here or no?

2 to go I think? Wheeljack and Scorponok

I originally had no intention of buying any of the RotB figures, but Freezer was so cool I just had to pick him up (and subsequently the other Terrorcons so far). However, they really should have revealed this much sooner than they did. Because pretty much immediately after I watched the movie in cinemas, I went and bought a second Freezer to replicate the scene at the museum.
And I doubt I am the only person who did that, so this thing is kinda useless and sales on it are going to be hurt due to this fact. The figure would have sold better if it and Freezer were on the shelves at the same time (or were sold in a 2-pack instead of being individual Core releases).

Anyone troop building Freezers will enjoy the Beast Alliance scorponok. He's a buzzworthy exclusive in the US but feel like a deal at $15. I hope he's still available when Noah ships.
Chaos Muffin
He\'s pretty cool with 4 guns.

That group shot looks great, can't wait for Wheeljack to round off the main cast
Yeah that mat makes her look as tall as Battletrap
Also Novakanes arm is backwards
Pixelmaster
Fortunately he isn’t. Can’t comment on the cracking as my Freezer doesn’t have this issue.
Better look of the dent on his head

bear in mind that my decade old table mat is warped in the middle (can’t find a replacement since ikea discontinued it ages ago), so airrazor may seem taller than she is.

You know, I liked Freezer cuz I got him before I saw the movie. Then I saw the movie.
And I really don't like this creature thing. I grew up with a mountain lion/panther robot terrorizing humans; creepy monster things are just so predictable and stupid. Does the TF franchise really benefit from Alien encounters of terror? The movies borrow so much that it feels like TFs no longer have their own identity. Ravage was original and interesting.
Boss Borot
They're not too impressive, but I'd still probably buy a few on impulse if any stores around here would actually stock something that's not BB Ravage or Iguanus.

My most anticipated figure for this ROTB wave. I’m very excited to get this guy

I love the animosity over two similarly colored figures. Glad Transformers have never ever had 2+ of the same or similar molds on screen/on shelves at the same time before.
Lovingly arranges his 13 Sideswipes

As much as I love the rusty paint on Freezer this guys gold and black is just so good
Also why doesn't anyone use his neck joint?
Black Convoy
Glad to get this retool/redeco. I wanted 2 of this mold for Scourge so I don't have to hunt for a second Freezer.
OverloadedTaco
Deluxe, and yes for rotb
PrimalFury
I wonder if its as loose as freezer
Primus Wept
Sick display, feels good to have been a beast wars fan when all these figures were coming out
Mudslide
Does he suffer from the cracking joints Freezer does?

Because a recolor is 1000x easier to make than an entirely brand new mold..?
