Deluxe class

Runabout

by Hasbro 2020

Runabout is Runamuck’s fellow Battlecharger, and Decepticon comrade in arms.

Spoilers, Runabout is the exact same toy, except that he’s cast in black plastic, and comes with an extra gun.

It’s a fun toy, flaws and all.

These two are like the tiny Angel & Devil on my shoulder, helping me make my daily choices. Only they aren't very helpful because one is an asshole, and the other one is somehow even worse! 😅

Upcoming toys that I’m looking forward to.

[dailytformersblog]

Who would've thought 1, technically 2 characters very obscure in the G1 osmosis, would be one of my favorite toys out of the Earthrise line. Yes, we have both Runamuck, and Runabout, coming into Wave 4, being appreciated on both fronts from Hasbro to fans themselves. Runamuck was part of a voting contest that happened last year on who should receive a new toy for this year's line. Runamuck stood as the winner, and boy is this a real prize. He and his black brother have tight joints. And I mean, I don't worry too much if I had him stand on one leg and jump up and down to shake the ground. That's how stable he is. That's most likely due to the faux wheels they have at their feet, which is a nod to their original toys having that design. They both transform pretty well. Open the chest to put the head in, Roof over the shoulders, and snap the knees into the front car so the faux wheels can get flushed in. Both of which they transform into a license free Lotus Espirit X180. The Runabout that came later as a Target exclusive is different enough to get both. His head is different, and honestly, I prefer the black over Runamuck's white. I noticed I scratch up the figure a bit and it stands out against the white. Also some parts of Runamuck's car parts are painted in matte white instead of gloss, which is suspectible for damage. Still, you should at least pick up Runamuck if you can online. Runabout for all of you non-US buyers is going to be tough, but Runamuck is a fine addition to have for everyone's Christmas. Good 4/5 figure.

RUNAMUCK ( Deluxe ) War for Cybertron EARTHRISE

Ed ecco a voi il vincitore del sondaggio per i fan del 2019, nel quale bisogna scegliere fra 4 nomi di Decepticon quale sarebbe uscito in Earthrise, e sopra a Needlenose, Gnaw e Shrapnel ha trionfato RUNAMUCK, il Battlecharger bianco. Credo di averlo votato pure io, dato che era parecchio che il nostro non riceveva una versione decente, ma anche perchè il suo stampo poteva portare non solo ad una ovvia edizione del collega Runabout, ma anche ad altri Tf con l'aspetto e trasformazione simile, come Tracks e Wheeljack.

Ed infatti, come già accaduto appunto con gli omonimi Generations precedenti, che però erano esclusive Timelines, il nostro si è portato dietro i succitati Autobot ( anzi, non ancora, che Tracks è previsto per Kingdom ) e pure Sunstreaker, ma a differenza dei precedenti semplici repaint del Saetta di una decina d'anni fa, ora gli stampi di questi WfC hanno pochissimo in comune, anzi, praticamente nulla, ma grossomodo la struttura delle articolazioni è quella.

Il ROBOT è davvero bello e classico nell'aspetto, con la parte posteriore dell'auto appesa dietro la testa ( anche se rovescia rispetto al G1 ) e pure con le doppie ruote ai lati dei piedi, le ultime in realtà solo scolpite per ricordare quel particolare del settei dei cartoni. Dettagli scolpiti ce ne sono, ovviamente, ma non troppi come nei Siege, ed il nostro mantiene quindi un look pulito come il succitato settei.

Sempre per emulazione alla versione cartoon, l'Earthrise non ha parti in arancione come il G1, ma i due moduli che paiono sostenere il retro dell'auto sono in plastica trasparente nera come i vetri, piuttosto che solo bianchi.

Come difetti possiamo magari annoverare le gambe vuote posteriormente e le suddette ruote scolpite che sono un po' troppo pronunciate all'indietro, volendo, ma avere dei talloni così estesi aiuta se si vuole tentare qualche posa ardita.

Davvero bella la scultura della testa, che pare richiamare quella vista nel ciclo di Infiltration dei fumetti IDW dove i due Battlecharger comparivano. Sempre come nei settei, la pistola di questo Runamuck... è quella di Runabout! dato che i due in quei disegni l'avevano scambiato! ^^'

Ed a proposito di armi, oltre ai soliti fori per armi alla WfC, quelli delle spalle sono saggiamente piazzati sopra le stesse, piuttosto che non lateralmente, in modo da potervi piazzare la pistola proprio come si DOVEVA fare nei giocattoli G1, i quali non potevano muovere le braccia a causa della gimmick che li contraddistingueva, ovvero la trasformazione automatica a scatto in robot dopo aver caricato all'indietro l'automobile.

Ed a proposito di questa, anche la TRASFORMAZIONE del nostro ER rivela sorprese... no, non è a molla pure questa, ma bensì è diversa nel busto, dato che quello sul torso non è l'effettivo tettuccio dell'auto, ma è un pannello farlocco, dato che il vero si trova sulla schiena, e quindi, dopo aver accorciato le gambe e raddrizzato i piedi, bisogna ruotare il bacino di 180°, nascondere la testa e slittare in avanti il vero parabrezza, potendo così ritrarre le braccia e quindi sistemare anche la parte posteriore del veicolo.

Sebbene simili, i Battlecharger originali non erano repaint o remold l’uno dell’altro, ma avevano le modalità di AUTOMOBILE diverse come marca e tipologia: indovinate un po' ? per fare le due versioni WfC si sono ispirati a quella di Runabout, e quindi il nostro Runamuck ER si trasforma anche lui in un'auto che ricorda una Lotus Turbo Esprit piuttosto che una Pontiac Firebird Trans Am come l'originale omonimo, ma vabbè, è un passo avanti rispetto ad essere un altro repaint di Saetta come le versioni precedenti.

L'auto comunque non è niente male, graziata da un bel bianco acceso con un paio di strisce dorate ( omaggio questo al giocattolo piuttosto che al settei che ne era sprovvisto ) ed ha un solo foro sul tettuccio dove piazzare la pistola, mentre le seconde ruote solo scolpite dietro quelle anteriori sono ben nascoste e non danno fastidio.

Infine, una ottima aggiunta al parterre dei Decepticon, solitamente orfano di normali auto, ed un'altra buona versione moderna di un classico personaggio, abbastanza definitiva anche se, a voler spaccare il capello in 4, la trasformazione non è fedelissima all’originale ( ma con il torso / tettuccio farlocco il nostro ha innegabilmente una resa migliore nel robot che non i succitati Lince e Saetta ) , a patto di poter poi trovare facilmente il suo collega, che uscirà pure lui ma come esclusiva, e poter quindi ricomporre questo storico duo.

Reveals

That time of year again, with Toy Fair over, there's a bunch of new reveals and alot of them look good, a couple look bad, so let's get into it.

Cyberverse

Gonna take a look at the Deluxe's only as they're the only figures I think I would pick up and there's already a bunch of figures I want to go over so it'll help keep this long list a little shorter.

Deluxe

Hot Rod, glad to see an actual figure for this guy, and overall looks good, it's just the side panels on his arms that are a real detractor for him. Flame pieces look cool. Maybe get.

Grimlock, kinda wish he was bigger like with Prime, Meg's, and Shockwave, but he looks like a decent figure. Dino mode seems to be the weaker of the two modes due to his leg articulation being hindered. Flame piece is nice and the crown is near. Probably pass.

Arcee, wow this is a good looking figure. And the detailing all throughout with the paint really makes her look better. Gun with dual blast pieces is nice, and overall the best looking Cyberverse figure by far next to Bee. Definitely picking up.

Thunderhowl, an interesting combination with a wolf into a knight-esc design, just not sure I like him overall. Blast piece is nice looking, and the sword is nice too, shield looks to be his wolf back so a bit of partsforming. Probably pass.

Earthrise

Deluxe

Fasttrack, the partner bot for Scorponok, I think he looks neat, color scheme is nice too. Not much to say on him besides that. Probably pick up.

Airwave, he's chubby, and another base which is nice. Not much else to say. Probably pass.

Runamuck, so glad he's finally getting a new figure after so long. Hoping we get Runabout as well soon. Wonder if he's a retool of Wheeljack. Probably pick up.

Smokescreen, it was inevitable, given the Datsun trio got figures in the last line, that the mold would probably've been heavily retooled for an Earth version. Glad I didn't pick up any of those previous figures as I much prefer how this version looks. Hoping to see the other two done in this mold as well. Might get.

Arcee, wow, two figures already this is grea....oh my, oh god. Her back. They butchered her back and turned it into a sled. Seriously though, what a disappointment, cause the figure looks really good, but unfortunately they had pretty much the entirety of the v-mode become a sled to stand on. Ugh, definite pass, gonna go with the Cyberverse one.

Alicon, ooh, a movie character that hasn't gotten any figures before, this is cool. See a lot of army building potential with him and he looks great too. Probably pick up.

Voyager

Megatron, wanna say he's a retool of the previous Meg's, but not to sure. Overall he looks nice, the photos from the event depict him in silver instead of grey/white, which I hope is the case but overall, he looks very much the same. That new sword thing is ridiculous. Maybe get.

Snapdragon, triple changer in like Apeface with a Titan Master, neat. He looks great overall and that's all I can really say. Maybe get.

Quintesson, oooooh he's Voyager sized that's gonna be so cool, I hope. But yeah, glad to see another character get a new figure after so long and he looks great. The base mode he has is kinda neat, doubt I'd ever use it but nice to see he has alot of playability. Definitely picking up.

Leader

Doubledealer, wicked looking dude and gotta say, getting Cybertron Red Alert vibes from him. Bird mode looks okay but that artillery mode is awesome and the base mode just as much. Definitely picking up.

Commander

Sky Lynx, aaaaaah he's soooo cuute! And he's got his two modes!! I love him! Definitely picking up!

Titan

Scorponok, woah this guy biiiiig and he looks awesome. Still have yet to pick up both Predaking and Omega but I'll definitely try to get this guy, probably on sale cause I'm cheap but he looks awesome. All modes look great and he has big meaty claws. Definitely picking up.

Studio Series

Deluxe

Cliffjumper, my boy, my sweet baby boy. You're backpack looks horrible. Yeah, he's probably gonna be a shellformee which is a shame due to the originality of the Cybertronian design, he does look good though, we'll probably get a Bee retool/repaint in the next wave. Definitely picking up.

RoTF Soundwave, a good looking figure with a sick looking alt-mode. Doesn't look like he includes Ravage which is a real disappointment given his previous release had Laserbeak. Maybe get.

Topspin, a nice looking update for a character whose previous figure was already pretty good. Might get.

Voyager

Skipjack, hahahahaha to late for me cause I'm a loser. Regardless of me, a nice repaint of Rampage and glad to see come through for accuracy's sake. Pass due to obviously dumb reasons.

Sentinel Prime, this looks really good. I'm surprised he's not a Leader class but hopefully he'll scale well with what they've down so far. Shame he doesn't have his shield or gun, feels like that's a real big missed opportunity. Definitely picking up.

Scraper, wow he looks amazing. Like an actual transformer, not that any of the previous figures aren't, but they way pieces from the v-mode go to the bot mode looks so surreal it's awesome. Definitely picking up.

Blitzwing, was hoping we'd get a figure of him and so glad we finally are and oh boy, he looks really good. Can't wait to get him and the oversized knockoff of him. Definitely picking up.

Leader

Overload, so this is what he's going to look like. Kinda disappointed that he isn't the multilegged version, but regardless, happy he's finally here and man does he look good. Reminds me of General Grevious with his four arms and overall looks really good. Hope the neck piece isn't a part forming piece for his regular mode but overall, he looks great. Definitely picking up.

Devastator, we finally get a full color body shot of him and really excited to see him all combined and even more excited to get mine all collected and done up.

Masterpiece

Arcee, two good figures and one bad one, an overall win imo. MP Arcee looks amazing and really surprised they went with her as the next one, given only two other (technically three) movie/season 3 characters have figures in the MP line, but glad they did, cause she looks good. If I were into the MP line still, definitely would pick up

Tigertron, the next Beast Wars MP, I'm rather surprised with this one as well but really shouldn't be given he's just Cheetor but bigger, which is what he really is, an enlarged MP Cheetor with different pieces. A good looking figure and hoping we'll get Airrazor next.

And yeah, that's all, again a lot of good, couple bad, but overall another bunch of figures to hurt my wallet.
