TM Waspinator is a gem. Even he Jet mode is surprisingly good instead of an afterthought.

Blackheart posted:I will always love Transmetals Scavenger. He's Inferno, no matter what anybody says. He has drill hands. DRILL. HANDS. No transformer has a more insane grin. He is a metal ant and metal ants are rad. He has demon horns, and a metal rear end. Scavenger was the best, just fun as hell. Does Hasbro offer free replacement parts? Some people got into my stuff and just totally lost Jetfire's missile, and I would like a complete one, as a sentimental thing. I got free Stickers for my Kre-o Ratchet and sideswipe, but that was because they were defective, not sure on "I have jerk rear end 'friends' who don't know how to keep their drat hands off other people's poo poo."

I'm pretty sure that the CS team keeps extra missiles around for products that have missiles for that purpose, kids lose those things all the time - give them a call, worst case is they say no or charge you shipping

Found a Roadbuster last night. He ended up with none of the big problems I've seen mentioned - no stress marks, hips are fine, the shoulder ratchets ARE tight in one direction but if you push on them in a certain way they go boneless. He's not bad, but that's about it for me. I don't feel like there's really anything special to him, other than coming with a bucket of guns. I've already got horribly beweaponed autobots that turn into chunky trucks - I just dug ROTF Brawn out of my storage bin on the weekend. That niche is already filled. I never had any of the Takatoku bots as a kid, so I'm not nostalgic about him, and unlike Whirl, RB's still a complete cipher in the comics. He's just this guy that likes fighting. So, I guess he's pretty cool, and it's neat that I've got a lot of the Wreckers now (and they're all Voyager-size or bigger, including 3P Broadside of the Horrendously Stiff Hips), but he's not much more than that for me.

Just to clarify about that Ratchet picture, along with the usual modifications to that figure you can find on TFW, I put a lot of time into reshaping his head crest. And boy howdy, that thing is hosed up right out of the box. Too thick, wrong shape...being able to actually see his eyes adds a lot.

Bit the bullet and bought Armada Starscream and Skywarp. Now except for Megatron I have every one of the comic pack figures. Does anyone have the Waspinator comic that they wouldn't mind parting with?

Sorry I'm late but count me in for secret Santa! I got an AWESOME(as if there were any other kind) Cyberjet last year! Also, I've got Prid Magnus, would anyone also recommend the platinum or beast hunters Magnus...es?(Magni?) And are there any third party Classics styled heads I can use to replace the flat-featured Prime style heads?

I have both voyagers and I think BH Magnus is better overall. I don't think there are any replacement heads.

 It’s time for… THE TRANSFORMERS THREAD SECRET SANTA!  Yes, it’s that time of the year again! If you're new to this Secret Santa malarkey, we all throw our names into my hat, receive a random name, and send that person a lovely gift of Transformers goodies, toys, candy, maybe some booze, and all around a big ol' ball of holiday cheer! It's fun, trust me. No really. SIGNING UP: 1 )Right, I’m trying something new here. Sign up here: http://goo.gl/forms/CyKDVj8AJb If you find you are having problems, email me at  doctorwhosecretsanta [at] gmail [dot] com In the subject, please include the tag [TFSS] as I am running another Secret Santa and don’t want to confuse the two. 2) Post in this thread! Tell us what kinds of stuff you're into! Once Santas are assigned, we're all going to be trying to figure each other out, so some healthy conversation will help things go smoothly. 3) DEADLINE: The deadline for sign-ups is FRIDAY NOVEMBER 28TH! #SAVETHEDAY Assignments should go out shortly thereafter. 4) BUDGET: Somewhere in the $25-$30 (£15-20) range (before shipping). You're welcome to spend more, but that's no guarantee you'll get that much in return. Gag gifts are cool, but please include some kind of actual gift. 5) COLLEGE STUDENTS: Remember that these gifts will likely go out around the holiday break, so be mindful of which address you give me. If you have any concerns about packages being stolen from your doorstep, use the address of your work/friend/parents, just so long as it's cool with them. 4) INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: If you sign up for this, you are agreeing to the possibility of getting an international address. The USPS international price calculator can be found here. 5) SHIPPING DEADLINES: • International - Friday December 12th (This is the UK to US last shipping date, so I'd imagine the same is true vice versa) • Within the same country - Wednesday December 17th 6) WHEN YOUR GIFT ARRIVES: Show us your loot! You can wait until Christmas morning if you want, but still, show us all the awesome goodies Santa brought you. 7) LATE PACKAGES: If you haven't received your gift by January 1st, let me know so I can look into it. If you haven't SENT your gift by December 17th, let me know so I can contact your recipient. 8) DON'T BE A DEADBEAT: If you sign up, please get your person something. Nobody likes a deadbeat santa. 9) FINALLY: A Merry Christmas to all of you at home!

So some folks may find it an odd choice but I pulled the trigger on Quantron which should arrive today. Computron was the only complete combiner I had as a kid (aside from a broken Devastator) and as a kid I had built him up in my head as the ultimate bad rear end in the toy box. Him and Powermaster Prime would go on buddy adventures on the stair case wading through hordes of decepticons, lego creatures, and the Shredder. The Maketoys one seems more a reimagining than a super faithful recreation but that kinda suits my feelings about the character.

If you're lucky, your cat or dog doesn't really know what to make of your toys and just ignores them. If Autobots were made of shoelaces I would have a serious problem.

When I was a kid our cat would chew anything plastic (which left me with quite a few ruined TMNT accessories) but my current cat doesn't care if it's not cardboard or paper. Makes me nervous about getting another cat some time though. We most assuredly will. It could be the next devourer of plastic katana and tiny missles!

Went ahead and signed up for secret santa. When I was little, my dog chewed off Action Master Bumblebee's hand and chewed the rest of him up pretty good, but after that, no other pets bothered with my toys. If I get a puppy, I'll probably need a detolf with doors on it to keep them protected.

I do kinda want that treadshot but I can always find one on the aftermarket. And for $20 I'd grab that mirage. Wouldn't go hunting him down, though. I considered getting the set too, but I don't want to blow $300 on it.

Woah, you can't just buy the bagged set separate? Lame. Yeah, forget the set then, I'd just want Treadshot and Mirage then. If I want a classics Scorponok so bad, I can just wait for the perfect effect one to come out. That is, unless other people in the thread really want all the non-Scorponok dudes and I don't think we're gonna get any takers.
