 It seems a lot of people are also thinking that the Stunticons are going to be the throttlebots.  If it ever happens, this will be undeniable proof that Hasbro is keeping third parties around as test pools and free R&D. The Taint Reaper fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Jul 26, 2014 |

I'm less than a week away from a move and I'd like to call ahead to the local store while I'm still here and see when they're getting it. Guess I could always order him online and get him delivered to my parents or something.

So! What's a good way to mask off uneven surfaces for plasti dip? Silly putty? Because I agree with annoying youtube guy about the lack of paint on the gun barrels.

Gatdamn, I am so excited for Combiner wars you don't even know. I looooove Gestalts. Superion and Menasor look great. I'm even gonna get that Voyager prime for shits and giggles just to imagine it's a Masquerade reference.

The new Menasor combined looks a whole lot better compared to the G1 version which was just a refrigerator with arms and legs. Yeah the head sculpt looks a bit weird but being that the only versions of the combining Stunticons are G1, PCC Crankcase(he's supposed to be Motormaster), and PCC Over-Run(Dragstrip) he looks the best of the bunch overall. Same with Superion, his G1 version has ittybitty arms, his energon and Universe 2.0 versions were both really weak, and his PCC type guy was especially pathetic. The Generations version is probably the best combining Superion we've gotten.

I'm not sure, has he even shown up in stores officially? Tankor doesn't interest me that much but if I see rattrap I'd pick him up, I'd pretty much have to so he keeps Rhinox and Waspinator company. Just picked up AoE Hound, it's a smallish voyager but he's super fun, cool to transform and comes loaded with weapons. Plus he's robo John Goodman. I really, really recommend this guy.

I don't know, I never saw a single Waspinator anywhere and he's already commanding a healthy price on the secondary market.

Oh, that's because the Waspinator / Skids wave was incredibly under-produced so they had to make more and it's supposedly coming again in... September or October, I think? Tankor and Rattrap might start showing up soon.

Every generations figure is going to be harder to come by in a year where they put a movie line in generations and then retailers ordered enough snap into a one step switch blade transformers to drown an elephant in. I'm sort of imagining I should just pre-order Windblade from BBTS and be done with the thought.

Me: Ok, I think I'm gonna try and downgrade my spending a little, maybe just stick to the Masterpiece line. Hell, I've even managed to get top quality KOs of them for Voyager price. Hasbro: heyyyy Doc, did you see our combiners coming up in 2015? And Jetfire? Me: oh gently caress you.

These one-step changer shenanigans are ridiculous. I haven't seen one sell yet; most stores have full, untouched racks of the things, PLUS an island stocked full. Maybe two pegs of the Movie Generations (empty), and a bunch of first-wave voyagers. TRU's got in the Minicon/Armada SS/Scoop/Skywarp wave, at least.

And that transforming box just steals the show! Yeah except for the fact that it will cost over $300 to acquire what are basically three mass-market deluxes, a voyager and a folding piece of cardboard. I would be tempted, but with the Fansproject Dinobots coming out I don't feel a need to own these.

We're getting a platinum set that is supposedly gong to be similar to the SDCC set anyways that will be mass released. Not only that but the SDCC exclusive isn't part of Classics generations and you're crazy if you think they won't be using the Dinobot molds in the year 2015 for Classics generations.

G1 dinobot colors look bad on the new molds. Plus I'm perfectly happy with caramel grimlock, straberry-fusion scorn and wild grape slug.

I want the molds to be redone with G1 bits so they can match Classic Generations Voyager grimlock. With word of the Masters of the Universe Classics Toyline ending and confirmation that there will be NO dinosaur beast figures for it I am longing for 80's style Dinosaurs of anything. Movie Generations don't cut it. They're not blocky enough.

This was in the listings they found http://www.seibertron.com/transform...t-5-pack/30827/ No idea on the colors, but the fact it's 5 Dinobots means it's a real good chance they'll be somewhat similar. Platinum Bruticus was great because you really couldn't tell if he was the SDCC one unless you had the SDCC one right next to it and the lighting had to be just right for 3 out of the 5 figures. And that's if you didn't get one of the running changes they found in the SDCC bruticus figures where blastoff was just a slight shade darker. Onslaught was identical in all the runs.
