After Hot Shot's finds at TRU, I had to check out what the local TRU had and I found Activators Bulkhead and Legends Red Alert and Starscream. I love the lil' itty bitty Bulkhead. He's fairly show accurate for such a simple transformation. Now I want the other Activators....

I was pleasantly surprised with Red Alert myself as I don't own any of the other versions of the mold. The black and white paint on the robot chest reminds me a bit of a Holstein cow though (and that could just be due to the fact that I'm surrounded by cows here in Wisconsin).

Ok done a bit of testing with the Binaltech arming set.

It will fit on any of the suberus [smokescreen, silverstreak, *alert, ricohet} or the mazdas [jazz/miester, shock/laser blast/wave]

I've yet to try it on hound/swindle, mirage/rodimus or the dodge vipers.

They do not fit onto the mustangs [wheeljack/grimlock] unless you modify them so that they will fit.

More info as I collect it. (and pics will be given if you request them.)

BTW: nice finds shrapnel and thunderwing. {Be careful with that megs trigger mechanism. It is very fragile}

Ok, just be careful if you do take him out of his box.

BTW:

Proof of the binaltech arming set being useful:

Yes the launchers can be used with mazda and jeep alternators. (the launchers are not compatible with the ford GT, dodge viper, corvette, rumble and ravage alternators. I'll check to see if there compatible with alt prowl tomorrow.}

Wally World. This guy is so bad-a$$, best 40 bucks I ever spent! He lights up, laughs and talks smack; and in helicopter mode make heli noises. He has 2 swords and the arm cannon looks a lot better than the other Megs.

Another question RJ. Does he sound like Ani Megs, or a high pitched child?

Rumble.

R.I.P, Menasor.

I can't believe I thought Cassettes were the way of the future.

Is +1 on Kups list.
