Ransack is the Kaiser's Nazgul, but Depthcharge can kick Godzilla's butt.

Great writeup! Thanks!

And I've finally figured out what I'm looking at with Soundwave. The Cylons and Vector Prime had a baby. And that baby was War Within Tigerhawk...

Heh.

Thanks (as always) for the reviews, Dave. Ransack's a cool enough concept (it's a WW1 biplane, for crying out loud!) that I'll go to the effort to fix the arms if I get a bad one.

What licensing issues would prevent Botcon from using the Rollbar mold?

Because Paramount shares ownership of all movie-line molds, even those that don't appear in the movie, FanPro can't use those molds (either Paramount refuses to license, or simply wants more money than FanPro can afford). It came up a couple years ago.

Just from photos, Rollbar reminds me a lot of the various designs you can pick for your player character in the Nintendo DS games from the first movie. (Payload from the first movie line was one of these, down to the same logo on the side of armored-truck mode). It wouldn't surprise me if he, and possibly other Scouts, turns up there.

Oh, no doubt. And someone else has already pointed out that while there's a forklift in the first videogame, they didn't use that name for Dirt Boss.
