Yep, Another one I'm going to buy.
How come these Animated toys don't come with better hiding spots for the weopons. Prowl's stars hide well, Lugnut's Weopon stores good, but otyhers like OP ans SP, Grimlock and Ratchet have weopons that either look stupid attached to the car mode or don't attach at all.
Come on and wind me up.

Good point. Hadn't really thought about it till now. This one does look sort of odd with the sword on top like that. For some reason this figure's alt mode really reminds me of G1 Hoist as well, does anyone else get that feeling?

He looks like a hybrid between Armada Liftor and CYB Reverb in car mode, if you ask me. Robot mode looks a lot like Lugnut.

Grimlock's sword can (apparently) be put in his mouth in such a way that it looks like he's breathing fire.

Somehow, I was expecting that to be the case.

Wonder if Animated Snarl/Slag can do that with his club? Back on topic, Sentinel really should have been a Voyager, to better scale with Voyager Optimus Prime. At least he might scale with Voyager Bulkhead like this!:D
Got a complaint?

Nice design & nice truck. I'm still not digging the animated style, though, unfortunately for me... (I am still impressed with the design that's gone into these guys though! I wouldn't have thought good cartoon-esque alts and 'bot modes would be compatible, but Hasbro have proven me wrong!)
New sale thread added with a range of Transformers including Masterpiece, Botcon, CHUG, RID, Movies etc.
Looking for MP-11T Thundercracker and MP-9 Rodimus v2 (Takara version with as few QC issues as possible).
Check out my new sale thread now!
Also items on eBay.

I think Hasbro likes to prove people wrong in a lot of ways. Just not always in a positive way...

He still ranks lowest in my view of the Elite Guard. Ultra Magnus is at #1, Jazz follows very close behind, and Sentinel is way behind them, bringing up the rear. The shield and lance look better stuffed away in an accessory bag.

Got a complaint?

Unfortunately that isn't true. The back of the box does say something along those lines, but you will just have to use your imagination if you want to see Grimlock breathing fire.

Wow, Sentinel Prime with a SWORD?? What the heck? Keeping that in mind, what is his vehicle mode supposed to be? A Buldozer? One of those things you drive to clear snow? What?

Hmmm . . . saw photographic evidence of it, but I can't seem to find it now. Anyone else know where to find that?
Nevermind. Managed to find it on google. He can only cram it into his mouth and it doesn't go too far. Pretty lame, but not enough to ruin the figure.

He transforms into Plow King Jr.!:lol: And he had a sword in "Return of the Headmaster".
