Reviews - Armada Scavenger w/ Rollbar
I was quite suprised with this figure. walking action is very cool. Rollbar is one of the best minicons so far. overall, a must have for all transfans!!!
RB is adorable, his face looks like a cat. the only good thing is S's arms- they are blasting! the walking gimmick is terrible, makes him fall down way to much. the missle in the hip is odd. must every 20 and up make this annoying sounds? he is a brick
Scavenger is cool. Rollbar is cool. The stomping leg gimick would have been better without the sound. & the lime-green color could have been dulled a bit. Overall, pretty good.
Everyone seems to complain about his walking gimmick, but it could have been much much worse. I personally like this guy, his hands are so good for gripping mini-cons and crushing the sparks right outta the-- Oh wait, he's an Autobot now...
Walking mechanism is so cool it's worth the sacrifice in posability! Besides, his arms are & I love the rubber treads. Constructicon-esque colors are great tho I'd prefer him to be a Decep! Vehicle mode is amazing. I love it, easily my fav Armada fig
Vehicular mode is good, but his robot mode leaves much to be desired. He is basically a green brick standing on his roller and two covers hiding his roller and passing off as the "legs". G1 toys have much better legs than this. Rollbar mini-con is good.
Real legs would be nice, but the walking feature is pretty cool too. I'm big on elbows, so I was pleased that he had some, considering his arms. Spiffy little minicon with him, too. Overall, real love it or hate it figure.
Scavenger has no articulation benteath his waist, but with his "stomping" action, sound effects, rubber treads that roll (despite being his arms) and hip missile, he may just be the most fully realized TOY out of any Transformer line since 1984. FUN!
Not very posable, but looks like Devastator, which gives him lots of brownie points. Just wish he was a Decepticon.
vehicle is awesome! the robot mode wasn't that cool because it can't stand well!!! all things considered, this is one of the best armada's yet!!!
I dont like the "running feature" as much as plain POSABLE legs. The powerlink is in the dumbest location (not many mcs could even fit there) Though he is cool, and reminds me a bit of the original. The minicon saved him.
His Leg Gimmick is dumb, makes him worse than a brick, now he's worse than G1 in that he's a lop-sided brick Minicon is ok, and the missle in this stomach is just odd
Pretty good, toy don't like that he's an autobot though. I thought the stopming was a bad gimmick, but if you unscrew one side of where it snaps in and turn it to match the other, then he can stand much better.
I think Scavenger is a fairly good tf. I like the running feature. One problem is the simple transformation and the position of the mini-con powerlinx point. Overall a good transformer
3/10, and every single one for the reasonable alt mode, because the robot mode gets zero - horrid gimmicks, terrible looks and lackluster articulation. Truely rubbish. Rollbar is nice though. Shame he can't be found seperately.
The feet/shovel gimmick is kind of stupid. Took me awhile to get the head figured out. Rollbar is one of the more complex Minicons. Scav does look like a neon brick, a cool brick. Can't stand unless arms move back one notch. Show Decp, Toy Auto. Why?
He's A great TF I got him 2 days ago I love the walking Action but only one flaw he's too easy to transform wish ther was more to it than fliping the shovel and torso other than that he's a great toy!
I like this guy alot. Articulation leaves something to be desired, though.
Finally an Autobot in the Armada line with some brawn & muscle besides Optimus!! Scavenger may be an original Decepticon name but this version makes a killer Autobot. Only complaint is the active powerlink point. Hard to use at the hip like that!!
Cool vehicle mode with moving treads. I love all the gimmicks. Robot mode is clunky, but has a 'Frankenstein' feel I decided to think is cool. Minicon is solid, if not special. Took work to get him to stand consistently. Nicer than I expected.
Great figure, cool gimmics, worthless minicon. In other words.... Right on par with the others in his size class!
Ok this is the first armada toy that has gimicks that I like. unfortunatly It is also one of the stupidest looking robots I have ever seen, but I got to admit it's fun. love his stomping but wish he could stand.
Eh, not great, but not terrible. Scavenger looks too much like a neon-green brick in either mode. Rollbar is the saving grace. Great Minicon, though not as good as Sparkplug or the Street Speed Team.
The treads are a cool bonus, and the fact that rollerbar can ride in the cab is cool. I didn't like the 'walking' feature just because when he is standing, it's hard to balance him and looks odd.
Scavenger is my favorite Armada figure so far. A menacing Autobot - kind of reminds me of Omega Supreme. His tread arms bend at the elbows: way cool. His walking action is cool, and the things that I can see bothering other people don't bother me 1 iota.
