I finally read up through RID and MTMTE volume 5, that was some good poo poo. MTMTE turned into a bit of an exposition-dump near the end, but I'm not sure how much I really care. I also caved and pre-ordered the Waspinator/Goldfire wave on BBTS because even after shipping it's not that much more than I'd pay in sales tax and gas.

If you guys love the switch and go dinos, pick up the large ones like the car carrier that turns into an Apatosaurus.

MP Smokescreen is sexy. I love all the Datsun molds, they look great together. The Lambos were great, the Datsuns are great, if they can keep the car quality up Bumblebee and Wheeljack shoud be impressive.

I am glad you liked them, I went out on Black Friday to specifically get these for the gift exchange and I am just happy you did not have those figures already too. Thundercracker is pretty neat looking and I would have picked one up for myself but the selection was pretty bare bones at that time.

So Hasbro is releasing the first mass produced Alpha Trion figure ever...but it's a Keron Microchanger. However pretty much everyone else in the wave has had a Generations figure in some form. So maybe a real Generations figure is coming? The other thing to note is that they have a Kreon Barrage which would be the fifth member of the insecticons that they still have the rights to. It's using Chop Shop's Kreon dude so maybe it will make an appearance in Generations using Chop Shop's Legends figure. The Taint Reaper fucked around with this message at 09:31 on Dec 22, 2013 |

Silly question but can anybody identify this Autobot toy (the blue sports car in the middle)? Thankfully and mostly because of this thread I have started to get back into Transformers from when I was a kid and started to dig out some of my older toys I have had laying around for from the last 20 years or so.

How cool is Hoist's gun? I keep getting tempted by it, but that's the only real difference from Trailbreaker.strangehamster posted:I love these RID cars so much, the rubber wheels, almost completely painted bodies, and multiple accessories!

Wedge is still one of my favorite transformers, but none of his compatriots are anywhere near as good, they're all blocky and Grimlock has those goofy hook hands. I still love to give other transformers Hightower's pistol though.

I agree, the car looks great displayed but he looks pretty bad in his robot mode, looks like a anorexic robot. Christmas is the worst times for toys, I never know what my wife is going to get me and I have to pass up on all the good deals and hope they are left after the holidays, seeing as my wife forbids me from buying any toys. I just hope Waspinator is still at Walmart for $9 after Christmas. Edit: Now that I am breaking out a few Transformers I have had in hiding over the years, I realize I need to spend the time and money to track down all the accessories for Devastator, I have the bots, now I need the add ons to form Devastator. I am sure that is not going to take a bit of time and cash to acquire everything I need.... Rythe fucked around with this message at 21:54 on Dec 22, 2013 |

Isn't Skywarp in the Generations line, a wave of which is in now? They have (or had, this was a month or two back) stealth jet Megatron, Orion Pax and Trailcutter, possibly also a Bumblebee but I just sort of filter them out now. This is of grave importance, Doctor, is there a reason to think the rest of the line won't show up? I sort of go in and out but if there's a Skywarp I really have to have it.

Honestly, I'm surprised to hear any of the Generations lines have turned up in the UK outside of specialist comic shops or the like. I saw the Skywarp wave (minus Skids) in Orbital Comics in central London on Friday.

Yep, Skywarp's not even out in the US yet. The current wave here is Skids, Waspinator, Dreadwing, and Slightly Darker Bumblebee.

Blackheart posted:Isn't the skywarp wave Scoop, Armada Starscream, Minicons and Skywarp? Skids' wave is the one before that. And yeah, I just realised that. Orbital comics has some weird in with Hasbro that they get waves just as/before the US gets them. I looked at Scoops and the Minicons but they're not appealing to me.

 So Go Prime has a huge backpack too. This figure just gets worse and worse. Looks like my earlier guess about one of his alt modes being a dragon boat rather than just a dragon was right though.

You know, one of things I hate most about recent transformers are how many of them seem to have thighs that just jut out of a crotch. Like Go Prime's there.

It's amazing to me that one of his modes is a bullet train, allowing for a simple blocky-yet-kibbleless robot mode, and he somehow manages to be both blocky as all hell and at the same time have as much kibble as one of the recently mentioned RiD car brothers. I especially like how rather than incorporate the nose of the bullet train into the robot mode at all it just splits in half and hangs off his forearms, making it basically impossible for him to ever grab anything.
