Rassa-frassin' KIDS with their rassa-frassin' JET ENGINES!

Yep, the reviews are back! And this time, it's ROTF Ransack!
Holy crap, he's a biplane! Tha's even cooler than the prop plane G2 Ransack was!
But seriously, Hasbro must have said "Hey, antyhing will sell in this line, and the Scout class is gonna be the new Deluxe in this economy, soooo..." Bam. We get a Transformer with an eniterely new altmode.
A front view if the biplaner.

Side view.


To transform this little guy, you need to unpeg his arms frum underneath his lower wings, remove the wingtips of his lower wings and put thim into position on his upper wings. Then...



You twist his tail/back fuselage around and split it intwo. Move the upper leg panels to the side (THis often causes the entire leg to fall off, so BE CAREFUL), and reposition his tailfins as feet. You move his upperwings to his back and fold 'em down...




Then you clip on what's left of his lower wings into the same two struts that kept his upper wings in place during jet mode. You flip down the propellor, and pull out the awesome little head.





He also has an alternate robot mode, where you pill his upper wings back up, and put his propellor back up. This looks so much cooler than his regular robot mode, IMO, that I prefer to keep him that way.






"Rassa frassin' arm always fallin' off! If I had a stick, I'd beat ya with it!"








If my camera didn't suck, you could clearly see he was supporting his back with his hand. He's s'posed to be an old worn-out former flying ace from when flight was developed on Cybertron.
He is also a tiny god.

Wazzzpinator hazzz planzzz!



Yep, this here's my first review... And it's a doozy. Say hi to Waspinator!






"Wazzzzpinator hazzzz planzzz!"


Waspinator has definitely been hit with the creepy stick. He's got two little vestigial arms (Something Derrick Wyatt originally intended for use with Lockdown, details can be seen here), a very insectlike head, and lots of little details. He has little static lines in both hos robot-mode and wasp-mode optics.






"Oh, goody!"






"Wazzzpinator especially sick of being blown to SCRAP ALL THE TIME!"







He becomes even scarier (To me, at least. I'm afraid of bees and wasps) in his beast mode. This is one bad bug, with his robot mode arms splitting in two to become his front legs, and a really nasty stinger. Oh, and there's a little lever on his back that allows him to flap his wings in both modes. However, it lacks posability, being an insect mode with the usual limitations.




Also, you can give him arms like Movie Frenzy that split at the elbow. This is awesome.




"Ssssh! Wazzzpinator is hunting Bumblebotzzz!"
