Curious, it doesn't appear to be detailed in the book like Ransack and Scorponok, but can you do anything special with Landmine's attack? His claw will slide right on onto most striker figures and if used like Scorponok or Omega Supreme he can give them quite a toss. Has anybody tried this, has Hasbro said anything about him? Or is he limited to the poke attack? Thanks!

Landmine is suppose to work right at the base level and toss figures! SO you have it right, use all the force you like and flip your enemy. They wanted to have a little tab on his shoulder... but it didn't pan out, I guess, so just flick with your fingers! Joe, are you confusing Landmine with Scorponok? I'm pretty sure Landmine is just supposed to be a regular old prodder like Logray or the Tusken Warlord.

Well what I first tried it on was a starter set Anikin/Vader, and was able to grab the sabre without any trouble. Holding him from the shoulder like Scorponok I was able to through Ani across the room ;D

ok, but has anybody tried it? tix on over to a jedi or like figure, slide the claw onto the blade (it is a remarkably good fit) and give 'er a toss. I didn't suppose it would be "legal" but it fits so well I was just curious if anybody else had done this. thanks

He is the same point amount as Scorponok too.

I think if used like scorponoks attack, Landmine shoul also be used stat wise, such as effect.

Well, we just can't have a bunch of unspingloaded guys runing around flipping people over. It goes against me. One was ok but two, let's hold it right there. I mean you'll never not kill sombody like that.

I've gotten better at using it, your advice is right on. You're right, usually an upward head shot is pretty deadly.
