The Transformers Legacy Evolution Deadeye Duel 2 Pack is no stranger to me. Yeah, sure these were ne characters, but the actual toys themselves were retools/reoclours of existing ones.
Autobot Javalin is a retool of the Deluxe Class Arcee from the Bumblebee Movie line. I don't know about others, but I loved this mould. It's smaller than your typical Deluxe, but it's got some nice articulation, curves, and an Alt mode that.. truthfully doesn't look like the movie, but at the same time is acceptable. My favourite of the two, the main reason I even got this two back, which is why it hurts when I found out this is the figure that was gimpy in the set.
Her overall design reminds me of one of the Hard Suits out of Bubblegum Crisis. Let see how many people actually get that reference.
Like with a lot of Deluxe class Fembots, this one has a decent sized backpack, but at least it doesn't look horrible.. It is, however, very disruptive to balance of the figure. The thing twist on this figure works better than United Windblade, but it's still not a true twist so I can't pull off all the poses I'd like to. Legs are also kind of bulky, affecting overall leg articulation. She's also got short stumpy arms with no wrist articulation, which is again pretty typical for the size. Posing options are there, but you'll need to work at it to get the pose, and to get the figure to stay upright.
Transformation results in a Cybertronian Cycle mode of sorts, which of course very closely resembles Arcee's, but there are cosmetic changes due to colour and backpack changes.
Now, Kaskade is a different story. She's a retool of what is probably one of the most hated Fembot moulds in the last decade or so, which was a retool of a Fembot that people hated WAAAAAAAAY BACK during the Titans Return lineup. The headsculpt is decent and remids me very much of Shadow Striker, but the overall form of the figure is like an ugly box.
Making matters worse is that this ugly box has no waist articulation, though it does have better ankles than Autobot Javelin. Upper and lower body areas feature large amounts of bulk that get in the way of articulation and posing. Elbows and knees are more limited than Autobot Javelin. Even transformation results in basically a box on wheels.
Both figures feature accessories that allow you to form firearms, though in the case of Kaskade she has more options versus the one rifle mode of Autobot Javelin's weapons. And to the surprsie of nobody, Paint is pretty standard (where needed) and Build, well, they can take taht gimpy ankle and suck it.
lol started this a few months ago. just watched the movie again and forgot how good it is! :D
its rushed sorry about the bad photoshopping! definitely not my best work but its funny
The World's Smallest Transformers series lasted two waves, and featured many of the original line up. Particularly impressive is the transformable Ravage that came with Soundwave - he couldn't have been bigger than your smallest finger nail!

After the 2011 Vancouver Riots, volunteers came out to devote their time towards repairing the tarnished image of Vancouver. They left many (often humourous) messages of encouragement upon the boards covering smashed windows in the Downtown area as they helped clean up the horrendous mess left by the rioters.
They are the true citizens and Canucks of Vancouver.
Ravage: "Autobots! My fellow Decepticons and I will help you find Smokescreen!"
Hound: "How can we trust you?"
Sideswipe: "YEAH!"
Ravage: "Because we will throw down all weapons and guile"
Ironhide grumbles.
Ravage: "So..."
Hound: "Agreed. But we'll be keeping a close optic sensor on you!"
Ravage: "Stick it in neutral, Hound! If I so choose, you couldn't even see me!"
Because he is slightly less hyperactive than his brother Mudflap, AutoBot Skids has always thought of himself as “the smart one.” He likes to point this out at every opportunity. While MudFlap zips around like a maniac, AutoBot Skids prefers to impress his superiors among the AutoBot High Command by behaving in a way he thinks of as mature, which usually involves talking nonstop about anything that occurs to him.
