In case anyone else was psyched for the Glacial lord bots from Fansproject, the first two are up for pre-order on Fansproject Core. There's a member price of 29.99 each (39.99 if you don't have an account) and 12.99 flat rate for shipping which isn't bad. The next three are supposedly going to be up in the next few weeks.

I'm somewhat ashamed to admit that when I read Glacial Lord Bot I was hoping for a bad rear end 3rd party Rock Lord. You know what? Nevermind. Not ashamed of that. Rock Lords were kinda metal. Uh, especially the metal ones...

When reality (or, in this case, the Transformers movies)doesn't pander to those notions, you use your imagination to make up a bunch of poo poo to bridge the difference. Problem solved; All is well.

If you all had to suggest a Transformers comic series to start with, what would that be? I am a huge fan from back in the G1 days, I pretty much wore out my tape of the 80's movie and am familiar with most of the lore and basic story as the Transformers go.

I like a long effort post based around Bay essentially saying 'I wouldn't admit in public I transform toys'. Also: How many people use instructions?

That's the kind of thread I still like to go to TFW2005 for, from time to time (apart from the news section). I know that every time I go to the forums there will be a new horrible Alucard77 thread for me to laugh at. I don't even reply anymore, just sit back and grin. Just saw peaugh's latest deluxe wave review, Skids looks pretty cool if a bit unstable, but Waspinator is just fantastic, can't wait to own the lil' guy!

And it completes the first major 'season' of MTMTE. It is wonderful. Do it. Do it now.

I love movie Prime so much, mainly because he causes more frothing nerd rage among the fandom than anything I've ever seen. The character is so over the top ridiculous I can't be bothered to get all bent out of shape over it, and "give me your face" has to be one of the best lines ever uttered in any movie.

The best thing about movie Optimus Prime is that the character was used pretty much verbatim (sweeping low-angled camera shot introduction, I SEND TO YOU THIS MESSAGE speech and all) in Transformers: Prime as Nemesis Prime

Walked into a Toys R Us today and suddenly it felt like 2011 all over again. 8 FE Bumblebees, 4 Starscreams and one single Cliffjumper that I picked up because I never found one originally. I also picked up Acid Storm, which is just a ridiculous toy. You don't really notice it until you have a neon green and camouflage colored jet on the shelf. This one will probably stay in jet mode. Rest of the shelf was the IDW deluxes, some RID voyagers including Thudertron and Ultra Magnus for 28.99 (Insanity, but not surprising) I realized at that moment that I've basically stopped buying stuff at retail. I find it easier to just pre-order the wave from BBTS than to hunt them down. It ends up being cheaper in the long run and I spend less gas.

Or the time the Pretenders (whose shells were giant humans) had to turn down relationships with some giant ladies because they were secretly robots. The Pretenders, I mean, not the ladies. The ladies were 100% lady. More like 1000% since they were giant ladies.

The Hercules guys were $100 a piece, that price seems about right assuming the limbs are the size of a voyager and the core is the size of the old ultra class. That Slag looks awesome, I'm glad that even though the third parties and stepping on each other's toes again at least this time we're getting two distinct styles, Classic-like and Masterpiece-like. Unfortunately this means I have to buy both of them, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make for Dinobots.
