The front bumper also looks like it’s screaming for some additional paint apps. But it isn’t the garish faction symbol that I find so ugly here, it’s the bare grey plastic that looks like all the paint has been stripped off and we’re look at a truck’s primer. When he finds you, he’s probably going to rip off your face and blow a hole in the back of your head. Hey, Dropkick, ever hear the expression, “robots in disguise?” Why don’t you just paint a giant target on yourself? Optimus Prime ain’t no touchy-feely robot of peace in these movies. First off, he has a giant Decepticon insignia that takes up the entire hood and roof of the vehicle. He wants to pop apart at the slightest inclination and it’s almost impossible for me to get the roof or the passenger side door to stay tabbed into place all the way. I think a lot of it has to do with his spring loaded head and hood parts. Let me also point out here that Dropkick’s truck mode does not stay together well. Don’t tailgate Dropkick or he’ll deploy his pincer and scratch your front quarter panels! Still, if you don’t like it you can take the whole thing out, giving Dropkick just a regular empty bed. What’s that all about? Well, as you can see above, it’s a giant pincer claw that comes out of the tailgate. He does have a really suspicious sliding knob on the cap in his truck bed. The sculpt isn’t bad, but maybe a little plain. If I can’t even remember his name and I have no meaningful connection to the character, than I have to ask myself, why do I own him? Maybe he’s just a really bitchin’ toy? If he was, I’d probably know his name, but let’s press on and find out.Īs we’ve already seen Dropkick is a pick-up truck. I’m being totally honest when I say that I had no idea who he was when I pulled him from the tote, and yet at some point I walked into a store, pulled him off the peg and bought him. Hang on, while I hit the googles… OK, it’s… Dropkick? Really? Part of the reason I’m starting to thin out my Transformers collection is because of figures like Dropkick here. I’m guessing he’s another one of those Expanded Universe figures from the 2007 Movie. And so, I dug my mitts into the Bayformer Tote and pulled out… this guy. Either way, I’m looking at another movie toy. I think this is Week #7 but I may have passed out and lost count somewhere along the way. I had hoped I could come back to it this week and look at some Energon figures or maybe something from Armada, but no, the Bayformer Hostage Crisis continues. Joe thang and Transformers Thursday got pre-empted. Pretty concerning! Spears should be able to hold up and provide big plays for the Titans in a spell role for Derrick Henry, but it’s also fair to wonder if this knee situation will sap how long he can be at the peak of his game.Last Thursday I was in the middle of a whole G.I. The Titans made good use of their draft capital, but Spears had some concerning injury news about his knee - mainly the fact that he doesn’t have an ACL right now. Least favorite pick: Tyjae Spears, RB, Tulane (81st overall) Skoronski has the potential to be a Pro Bowler as a rookie. Skoronski was one of the eight elite players in this draft on the Yahoo Sports board so getting him with the 11th overall pick was fantastic value. Skoronski can plug in whichever hole the Titans feel like is biggest, which will likely end up being one of the guard spots. Skoronski can fix multiple spots on the Titans’ offensive line, which needs to be rebuilt as they enter a new era under head coach Mike Vrabel and first-year general manager Ran Carthon. Favorite pick: Peter Skoronski, OL, Northwestern (11th overall)
