It's a bit disappointment to see Captain Ordo really missing a pathfinder.

Below is Hasbro's writeup on this awesome battle pack:

On the distant planet of Hypori, Separatist leader General Grievous and a legion of his super battle droids have surrounded a small group of desperate Jedi knights. In response, the Republic dispatches an elite squad of fully equipped clone troopers with orders to destroy Grievous and rescue the Jedi. Captain Fordo orders his heavy gunner to take out the super battle droids that are threatening the remaining Jedi. Knowing that the torso is the weakest part of a super battle droid's construction, this heavy gunner takes careful aim and wastes little ammunition. Leader of the task force known as The Muunilinst 10, Fordo is known for his aggressive fighting tactics and prefers to employ firepower over finesse. Fordo was once awarded the Chancellor's Service Medal, which he refused and transferred to a fallen member of his task force. These clone troopers are all members of The Muunilinst 10. They will follow their leader, Captain Fordo, to the end, obeying his every command and destroying anything or anyone that gets in his way. Five-pack of action figures comes with removable weapons for exciting Star Wars battles! Based on characters from the animated series Clone Wars, this set of 5 action figures has awesome battle-action features! Includes heavy gunner Clone Trooper, Captain Fordo and 2 Clone Trooper action figures, blaster pistols and heavy blaster cannon.[/i]

I think Hasbro made a mistake there...its 5 in a set but mentioned only 4 :)

anyway the heavy gunner should come with a quad cannon...but that looks like a gattling gun. Nevertheless this set rocks BIG TIME :D

The 2 packs of "Hunt for Grievous" Battle Pack which I ordered from Amazon.com have been delayed. Seems that they have ran out of these items at their warehouse. They just sent me an email today saying that the earliest shipment date possible is 11 June! :(

But when I "click" on the item, they still list it as "this item usually ships within 2 to 3 days". What the ********* :evil:

Those intending to order this direct from Amazon.com...be ready for late shipment on or after 11 June 06. :(

Just realized that the red commander doesn't come equiped with a range finder, only his three arcs' have them. Kind of a sad case, I would say.

The arcs' are definitely slightly worse than the previously released arc trooper. None of them are able to stand properly without support. This is probably due to the way their feet were packaged.

While the amount of accessories is near staggering, I would think that more could have been provided, in view of the "poor" state of articulation for the arcs'.

Then again, the heavy gunner and the commander are near/almost S.A.(super-articulated). So I guess this makes up alot for it.

These battlepacks are retailing at SGD59.90 each at TRU. So for almost all fans, they are definitely a great grab, considering the price point and type of figures.

Actually, what makes this battlepack much more attractive is that they were featured fully in a episode on the animated clone wars series(see episode 21). So despite the number of imperfections with this battlepack, hasbro definitely has got a "hot" one down here.

The more I look at the Heavy Gunner that comes with this Battle Pack, the more I believe that this figure comes from the same mould as that of the AT-RT Driver from the ROTS series. :D

Cip-Quad Gunner is 100% reuse of previous molds.

Ingredients:
1 ATRT Driver helmet
1 ROTS #33 Red Commander's body
1 Commander Bacarra's kama
1 G.I. Joe Chain gun
blue paint, and while making armpit and ankle rings, blue plastic is used instead of white.

:lol:
