Welp, I accidentally ordered 9 Reveal the Shield Mindsets instead of the 3 I planned. At least he was cheap, and also a pretty loving amazing figure! If you haven't grabbed one yet, I highly suggest doing so, hell, why not grab a bunch of other really cheap TFs off Amazon while you're at it? Hoist is five bucks, Orion Pax is ten, Fall of Cybertron Blaster is ALSO ten, Predaking Reissue is 86, Trailcutter's 10, Sharkticon Megatron is 14.50, Beast Hunters Shockwave is 18, FOC Shockwave is 9 bucks, and Ratbat and Frenzy FOC pack is FOUR DOLLARS(!). There's some other great deals to be had I'm sure, and those are all Prime-eligible. I will never not love a robot with multi-missile launchers that sit in/on the shoulders or above the head on a backpack mount. I also ordered Prime Dead End and he's garishly glorious. He also looks pretty kickin' rad with his swords stuck on his shoulders instead of in his hands in bot mode. Captain Invictus fucked around with this message at 14:31 on Dec 23, 2013 |

What fantasy world are you people living in where there's a new wave of generations out? All I ever see are Megatron, Bumblebee, Pax, Thundercracker, and Hoist.

I bought Sharkticon Megs today. Now I have 3 of that mold, vanilla megatron, shiny metallic arms micron megatron and electric bogaloo shark megatron. This is the most of megatron I've ever had for one line.

They're charging over 100 dollars for Year of The Horse Supreme Starcsream. A figure that's smaller than Metroplex and with an even more simplistic transformation is a 100 bucks. I'm just glad he's not part of Generations. The_Doctor posted:Ugh, I have to keep reminding myself I don't want Blaster because I hate that mould. In robot mode he honestly just looks like blaster. Yeah the vehicle mode is rather weird, but he's worlds better than Universe 2.0 Blaster. Honestly just leave him in robot mode and buy his cassette guy tapes. Because yeah he's a pretty awesome Blaster figure. The Taint Reaper fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Dec 23, 2013 |

Well, Year of the Horse Optimus is probably going to be less than 100 bucks sooner or later because I dunno who wants an Optimus with gold bling and a transparent trailer. Okay, that might actually be kinda neat, but I don't have the fuckin' space for another MP-10. That trailer takes up a lot of real estate.

Well, if you couldn't get the first release then yeah, I could see why someone would want it, but I already have him in the right colors so it's a pretty hard sell for me.

Just got my Secret Santa presents from my mysterious Transformer goon. I know I got a Starscream and a Springer, I think Starscream is from the Fall of Cybertron but not sure about the Springer. I am clueless about the tank guy, he has a sweet samurai vibe going on with him and a really neat hidden sword sheath in the tank turret. To top off the great Transformers I got that awesome Lego creator set and it is amazing I don't have that already, since my Lego collection is stupid big. Thanks a million for the great toys, I really like the way Springer looks in his helicopter form, he will look great next to the Generations Springer. Is there a archive of Transformers instructions? I have looked around and haven;t really found one, would be nice for the tank guy, he has a bit going on in the transforming parts.

Rythe posted:Just got my Secret Santa presents from my mysterious Transformer goon. Well you just got Fall of Cybertron Starscream, the tank is ROTF Bludgeon, (one of the best tank-formers out there) and Springer was a sort-of Asia exclusive (until they took it to the US anyway) which is a remold from HFTD Tomahawk, another excellent mold. You've got a pretty cool secret Santa, I gotta say.

The tank is ROTF Bludgeon, which is probably the most metal Transformers toy ever produced; the Springer is the "GDO" version, which were Asian-market toys that got brought over as TRU exclusives. Here's instructions for Bludgeon, IIRC there's a step to bring down the torso that requires excessive force (step 13 going by that manual) so watch out there.

That's weird, it might be corrected in the version I have (banzaitron) but collapsing the Spine takes almost no force at all. I push on his head usually instead of pulling his legs though.

3 posted:The tank is ROTF Bludgeon, which is probably the most metal Transformers toy ever produced. You are not lying, that guy is a bad rear end when he is in robot mode, Bludgeon just jumped to the top of my favorite robot modes. On top of looking amazing in robot mode, he is the perfect height to fight sword to sword with generations Springer.  Edit: I have no clue where the heck Springer's sword goes in Helicopter mode too.

Today I found out that both Kreo Computron and Menasor are out. They are available over at bbts or ebay. I sent for them. Also, I'll have to start looking for a seller with wave 4 of micro changers.

Talking of Springer, I'm re-reading LSoTW (thanks, TheDK!) and Voyager Springer is literally straight from its pages. Meaning they had that design down pat in 2010 and we didn't see a hint of him till, when? Early 2013?

The sword wasn't part of the original mold, if I remember right all the guys from that wave of exclusive repaints came with bonus weapons. That's a great mold, but I always thought those legs were just too spindly for a Springer. Also their need to make the head small enough to fit Springer's crests left him looking pin-headed compared to the original mold.

Speaking of which, I haven't read any Transformers comics since the Marvel series (I once had #1-80 and all the tie-in miniseries, plus Generation 2 #1-12, and foolishly sold them all on eBay, even though they weren't that good), but I always hear Last Stand of the Wreckers transcends Transformers comics and is just a drat awesome comic no matter what.

IDW really has got gold on their hands, which is what makes the current Dark Cybertron MEGA CROSSOVER EVENT so infuriating. It's loving with the flow of two really great books.

I bet you people still don't store the G1 Seeker fists in their proper area either and think they just detach from the plane entirely in vehicle mode.

Went to Intergalactic Toys today to pick up one thing, left with all this for $100. That Omega is 100% intact. I prefer it to the recent remold. Motorbreath is neat as he's in scale with Motormaster.

I hope Generations is going to get the huge rear end voyager size that TF Prime just got. Holy crap both Prime and Predaking are huge. Don't get me wrong, the entirety of the Voyager line in Generations has been solid. But there are some robots that demand such a large figure at a reasonable price point. Not only that but with transformations that simple they could emulate a lot of the weird rear end monster bots, powermasters, Pretenders, and such of G1 and still have better articulation.
