It's the inset image in the scan. It looks like he just holds a little tray with drinks on it. Enlarged for you pleasure:inflatable dalek wrote:How will the waiter mode work then? Flip out bow tie? Or is it a fancy way of saying he comes with a couple of bits of cloth?

Indeed. That would have made me more giddy than a ...waiter mode. I'm not sure how to feel about this one yet, I'm going to reserve my judgement till I hear/see more about it. There is no way in hell I'll ever afford it anyway, so I can just be a spectator this timeHalfshell wrote:IT SHOULD HAVE A CROWN.
Clay wrote:Grimlock is... lacking? One would hope that, given the size this thing will supposedly be at the suggested price, that they would take the opportunity to make the dinosaur mode articulate (tail and all). Doesn't seem to be the case from the thumbnail picture, though.

Though I don't mind the dino gait. It's the robot proportions that seem a bit off.

Maybe, in this instance, it'll be deliberately ridiculous to transform, thus forcing most people to leave it in dinosaur mode... making it even more season 3 of the cartoon accurate?Cliffjumper wrote:My main reservations are whether it'll be too large (almost certainly) and Takara's Heath Robinson approach to engineering.

Bastards will probably release the bloody thing in turquoise to homage G2 (they've already got references to the original cartoon and comic).Cliffjumper wrote:No recolour value, see?
"Anime" variant will probably follow down the line. Probably just after everybody's given up hope of a grey one and caved.
Oh, like any of you believe for a second they wouldn't.
I'm stunned they haven't released a monotone grey version of Megatron with grid paintwork as a "mid-reformatting" variant. But then now I've mentioned it...

I mentioned a potential e-hobby repaint of Omega Supreme as a Guardian Robot way back when Sky Lynx was announced, and look what happened...

Methinks they are aware that this mold is NOT what we were expecting/wanting, therefore they are attempting to pad it out with pointless accessories/homages. Which, IF I decide to go out of my way to get this, will all be going straight in the bin. IF I buy it, and given the insane pricetag that's a pretty monstrous if, I'm geting it for the figure, not a small collection of needless wastes of plastic. In fact, I might just recycle them.
