Both toys come with spring-loaded weapons and are very well-executed. The Ratbat toy in particular looks REMARKABLY like its Dreamwave counterpart, which is amazing, especially considering that the figure wasn't originally BASED on that comics design (a design which traded in Ratbat's animal form for a more conventional robot mode)! <br />This 2-pack of action figures includes a comic book, only (much to my disappointment) the book has NOTHING to do with these characters or the story detailed on the back of the toy's package. This is, in fact, the ONLY downside to this purchase. Apparently, if you wish to read the CORRECT comic, you'll have to buy yet ANOTHER 2-pack --- Dirge & Roadbuster.
