Yea I guess they never said he was "dead" but he was sliced up and fell 50 feet into the "sinking ice" into the ocean. So yea um he lived lol

Mindbender was in the flashback with Rex Lewis aka Cobra Commander aka Duke and Blackcord's best friend and military scientist aka Duke's Fiancee Baroness's Brother.

CC referenced him later in the movie but didn't say if he was alive or around

I'm betting we don't see Mindbender at all again, or we do and it's a totally different actor, and maybe a different character. I don't think the bit part in ROC will go anywhere.

As for Storm Shadow, I'm hoping that he's the only mention of Nano-Mites at all. I'm betting he was injected too or some shit, because those injuries he sustained and drowning in sub-zero ice would kill anyone, ninja or not. (I know this is a fantasy movie, so I hope they bullshit it with fake "science" instead of mystical ninja bullshit, is what I'm saying.)

I bet we don't even hear mention of Baroness until Film 3, where it'll either be a new actress or they just ignore her altogether. Destro we better see again. I actually liked him as "McCullen" from the first film, and felt that Destro as we know him was a throwaway. Maybe CC leaves him locked up as punishment or some shit, but will need him in the next installment. Who knows. I doubt Eccleston or Miller return at all.

you sound pretty confident that a #3 is going to be made ;)

Hey... Transformers 3 should never have been greenlit past the thought of "Hey, let's make another", let alone Retaliation for that matter. Hollywood is infinitely retarded and has no taste, but they will rake in the money when they can make it.

Biggest dump on earth
The first one really didn't have any major stars in it to draw people out from the mainstream at least i felt except Joe fans. This one also seems to have a better plot and and better dialogue based on the trailers.The Rock and Bruce Willis will probably fill more seats in the movie theatres than Dennis Quaid and Marlon Wayans.

Yeah, I figured that'd happen. She looks odd, though, with that detail just painted on her. They went the Marvel Universe cheap-out on reusing the same sculpt and painting details, but I'm okay with that. I'd much rather use a torso that looks better on the red one than on that figure.

I think the yellow one looks funny. They should've just made the base yellow and added a form-fitting webgear on top. But that'd require effort on their part, eh? :rolleyes:

Agreed. I did not foresee the figures being this mediocre, though perhaps I should have.

That yellow Jinx actually has a sweet red case to put all her shit in, though. There's... that. Otherwise, that figure kinda sucks.

I want to do a female VC figure, and I'm really wishing the goddamn cleavage-exposing torso was gonna be at retail.

Blah and feh!

Yup, sure do.

well then go fuck yourself! That shit was the first thing to randomly disappear when I opened the package, as though it wasn't actually in the fucking box!

Actually it looks like it has the same sculpt that exposes her neck and upper flat chest but they decided to paint it some cloth/latex color rather than a flesh color so it would be movie accurate and because they're lazy. Kind of like they did the Night Raven Air-Vipers neck

Well, the red Jinx is the most anticipated figure of the year for me, as far as Joes are concerned. Looking forward to adding her to my collection!

LOL I would say that Hasbro would probably make a Vypra figure using Jinx, but considering Hasbro's new policy on Vehicle drivers.

I don't feel so bad about Jinx being an exclusive now. I can maker her by just repainting the retail version.

Not an option for everyone, but it is an option none the less.

Yeah, I always feel worse for the overseas collectors.

Still, there's a chance that some can had through the board.

What day will this figure be on HTS? I need to make sure to stay home from work that day.

I'd like the unmasked version just for the headsculpt - otherwise not wasting my time. I'll just do the repaint if I want the red version.

Meh. Whatever. I'll just buy movie Jinx (assuming she ever appears in retail.) If not then I just won't have Jinx. It's easier to not care.
