This looks like a really nice figure. The sounds it makes during transformation sound like solid, well made materials and well cut molds. Good stuff. Also, upvote for Bianca cameo lol
Really cannot wait to get this guy, perfect for CHUG wreckers, also the little orange piece might be for tank mode in the sides of the arms holding the plow/cow catcher together
+Blizz Az Yep. It holds them together really nicely. One word of caustion though is if you use it to hold them together i'm finding it impossible to get it back out of his peg hole on his arm. I don't want to force it so he now has an extra yellow bolt on one of his arms :)
Thanks for the review! Now I really can't wait for my Spartan to be shipped with the first two Gravity Builder figures. And I second the upvote for Bianca. Any chance she would do a review?
That small part is to peg on the side of the arm so when you transform him to tank mode the arm/scoops lock in better. I didnt use it on mine so I put it back in the box lol
Hey Peaugh, I love your reviews. I've noticed that when you show poseability you only show _where_ the joints are located, but don't show _range_ of articulation. I'd really like to know how far the joints go on figures when I'm watching reviews. I thought that feedback might be helpful.
A Japanese reviewer was saying, I think, that the yellow peg might be to hold his forearms together in alt mode. And I'm thinking you should see if Bianca will help do some V.O. work for you.
Jetfire48 yep same mold with some tweaks like the head, gun, and chest i believe. oddly enough commotus was shown off first but spartan gets released ahead of him. commotus is the version i want though
Theirs it's sequel the sins of the wreckers which is the sequel of the last stand of the wreckers which was an great story so it's probably gonna be an another great story too
Purple and Yellow! Let's go Huskies for the Apple Cup 2015 win! This figure looks really good, but since I don't have any attachment to the character, I will not likely purchase this figure.
***** Ha! I could not resist trying to get a rise out of you. I remember in your MP-10 review you mentioned you went to WSU, which shocked me since I live close to Pullman, WA.
Metal Slug was originally on Arcade\Neo Geo and you should play it because it owns bones. Metal Slug 1-3 and X are the good ones. They've since been ported to things like the PS3 and iOS and there's a collection on Wii.
Hmm.... Hey Peaugh, didn't you mention somewhere in the review this was going to be the start of a new MMC combiner, based off of Ruination? Or was that just a joke?
That's not an mmc combined he's talking about that generations repaint of FOC Bruticus which was named as Ruination as a homage to them using ruinning decepticon plans (btw this is not ruination from transformers RID/Car robots) it was just retools of the previous molds all with new heads and the molds weren't even good at all...
+Chip Hitler Leader of the wreckers even in the old marvel comics. Also multiple nods to him being part of the wreckers from numerous franchise shows and series, such as animated.
Watcha mean? Its a third party product its not allowed to eb relewased at retail but can be sold at online retail meaning its a transformer toy but it cannot be labeled as one
Naw that's just mmc plus most third parties always make the molds while spending extra time waiting for the final release by making improvements changing things and etc
Not entirely sure but this japanese review: ua-cam.com/video/dVqz3BEcX0U/v-deo.html ...seems to indicate the 'nubbin' is for between his forearms and pegs in between to secure the front cowcatcher/shovel in tank mode.
Very fun figure! That said I don't like the dull colors they switched to. Everywhere I've seen Impactor in comics and TF toys he has been a bright orange and purple. Making it a clear pass for me. Anyone else have feedback about the colors?
Going to need a review of Bianca in the future.
This looks like a really nice figure. The sounds it makes during transformation sound like solid, well made materials and well cut molds. Good stuff.

Been waiting for this since I read Target:2006 when I was 11 years old.
Really cannot wait to get this guy, perfect for CHUG wreckers, also the little orange piece might be for tank mode in the sides of the arms holding the plow/cow catcher together
That little yellow plug is apparently to more securely connect the forearms together in tank mode and eliminate any gaps in the dozerblade.
+Blizz Az Yep. It holds them together really nicely.
One word of caustion though is if you use it to hold them together i'm finding it impossible to get it back out of his peg hole on his arm. I don't want to force it so he now has an extra yellow bolt on one of his arms :)
Hi Bianca.
I think I speak for everyone when I say, we want to see more of Bianca! She can interrupt anytime!! Lol
I should be getting this guy soon and couldn't wait for your review. he looks amazing
Thanks for the review! Now I really can't wait for my Spartan to be shipped with the first two Gravity Builder figures. And I second the upvote for Bianca. Any chance she would do a review?
MMC is really doing a bang up job lately. Great looking Impactor.
Yeah just they take forever to release their figures
One of the cooler robot modes I've seen!
Cool review thanks. Got my shipping notification today can not wait.
Hello Bianca.
Bianca is hot!

I'll try to be more detailed.
I can't wait for my Impactor to come in. IM excited for this figure
Come on TFSource! BBTS has this in stock already! Nice review.
Can you please increase the audio of your voiceover?
Thanks Peaugh!
Awesome.

I could not order this guy soon enough. :)
I am looking forward to the Turmoil version of this mold
Turmoil isn't being remolded from this mold turmoil is his own mold....
+Jetfire48 Sure is strange how they have the same legs, arms and alt mode then....
+Jetfire48 it's the same mold
I never realized that it was the same mold.... still gonna take forever to be released...
Jetfire48 yep same mold with some tweaks like the head, gun, and chest i believe. oddly enough commotus was shown off first but spartan gets released ahead of him. commotus is the version i want though
Great review and Bianca is beautiful BTW.
can we get more info on bianca 😉😉
what kind of job do you have where you can do toy reviews? been wondering that for ages
+Jason W I believe he works for a radio station. What he does there I don't know, however.
u should take a pic with the Hasbro wreckers
Bit of an audio bug at 0.05-0.07. Can you please fix that?
Yes, you probably played Metal Slug in an arcade. Growing up, my local Pizza Hut had a Metal Slug cabinet.
Love ur cameos. I miss niblet
Does anyone else think that this tank mode looks like an angry duck?
+Buzzing Sign Diner Pffhahaha now I can't unsee it.
***** Don't forget a convention exclusive redeco of this as a pre-beast Beast Wars Megatron's rubber duckie.
+Buzzing Sign Diner thanks for that
Tank mode kinda reminds me of a tank you'd see from that ole arcade game called Metal Gear Solid, weird it looks that way.
I want to know more about the wreckers, can anyone suggest me what the first comic title is?
+alucardF91 They showed up in the old Marvel and UK comics, but if you want a good modern story check out "Last Stand of the Wreckers" from IDW.
+peaugh Thank you peaugh, i beginning liking them when i watch your roadbuster review.
Theirs it's sequel the sins of the wreckers which is the sequel of the last stand of the wreckers which was an great story so it's probably gonna be an another great story too
Purple and Yellow! Let's go Huskies for the Apple Cup 2015 win! This figure looks really good, but since I don't have any attachment to the character, I will not likely purchase this figure.
As a WSU alumnus I must disagree.
***** Ha! I could not resist trying to get a rise out of you. I remember in your MP-10 review you mentioned you went to WSU, which shocked me since I live close to Pullman, WA.
+peaugh Go COUGS!
I don't remember that Ironfist figure. Did you reviewed him already?
+MrHusang23 yep! His 3P name is gauntlet
you know the ironfist is part of the demolition crue has well
that gun he comes is the one used to murder Xquadron X
Yeah, Metal Slug is a famous NEO GEO arcade series.
Toe-gun! Toe-gun! Toe-gun!
Just got one on eBay for $100 bucks. I really hope it's worth it?
Bianca is cute XD
colors remind me of blitzwing
the stun gun is the one in idw lsotw he kills squadron x with
Metal Slug was originally on Arcade\Neo Geo and you should play it because it owns bones. Metal Slug 1-3 and X are the good ones. They've since been ported to things like the PS3 and iOS and there's a collection on Wii.
tonight we wreck cons on cybertron
Hmm.... Hey Peaugh, didn't you mention somewhere in the review this was going to be the start of a new MMC combiner, based off of Ruination? Or was that just a joke?

I know, but I thought he said MMC were making their own Wreckers Ruination.
The mold looks really cool but I don't like the muted colors.
But its impactor who wouldn't like an Impactor that is last stand of the wreckers accurate?
+Jetfire48 I have that comic but I don't think he was that mute in there.
HEEEE ISSSSSSSS SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
What do you work as? :U
So. Who exactly is this guy supposed to be? Comic character?
+Chip Hitler Impactor, comic character. I believe a former leader of the Wreckers, but am not up to speed there.
+Chip Hitler Yes, he is supposed to be Impactor. In the IDW comics he is the leader of the wreckers for a while.
+M1NDxBEND3R Ah. Thought that's why I hadn't seen the design of the guy before.
+Chip Hitler Leader of the wreckers even in the old marvel comics. Also multiple nods to him being part of the wreckers from numerous franchise shows and series, such as animated.
How is this channel not dead yet...
I see a djd Tarn in its future
such a slow time for tformers
Watcha mean? Its a third party product its not allowed to eb relewased at retail but can be sold at online retail meaning its a transformer toy but it cannot be labeled as one
+Jetfire48 just this year seems to be slow on releasing things. and every company releasing the same figure albeit "their" version.
Naw that's just mmc plus most third parties always make the molds while spending extra time waiting for the final release by making improvements changing things and etc
Damn, she's cute! 8:35
Not entirely sure but this japanese review:
ua-cam.com/video/dVqz3BEcX0U/v-deo.html
...seems to indicate the 'nubbin' is for between his forearms and pegs in between to secure the front cowcatcher/shovel in tank mode.
It sucks to know that I'm not gonna be able to get this guy, and he's gonna sell out. Most likely fast.
He's been on preorder for months idk why your saying it's gonna sell out when mmc takes forever to release their figures
And... if anybody wants to support the artist behind the comics, please go there:

Thanks!
I really like this transformers, but the colors bug me.
Is that your coworker? She is cute
i'm not sure he is looks like IDW comics impactor
Hes supposed to be idw last stand of the wreckers Impactor XD
+Jetfire48 thanks one of my favorite design of impactor
He looks like Ironhide
Bianca is cute!
Cool figure. But the highlight is Bianca. Shes hot. haha
cameo
Very fun figure! That said I don't like the dull colors they switched to. Everywhere I've seen Impactor in comics and TF toys he has been a bright orange and purple. Making it a clear pass for me. Anyone else have feedback about the colors?
what's up Bianca? Are you single? Call me! lol
