I owe you a thank you message as well. The code you provided also got me a small discount on some other toys. Finally grabbed rattrap and waspinator

I'm amazed at just how dark MTME got.

Also, I'm surprised nobody mentioned that seems that alternate-timeline Rewind wasn't really involved with Chromedome. Turns out there are consequences for bringing characters back from the dead.

No, that's a product of Brainstorm's timefuckery messing everything up. Rewind was the same Rewind until the ship split in two, but Brainstorm messing up the timeline is completely rewriting Rewind's entire life story

You could say...someone hit the Rewind button.

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 :siren: doctorwhosecretsanta [at] gmail [dot] com :siren:
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!

There is also the fact that Rewind is reliving events and has recordings that he can't possibly have. Rewind began recording after meeting Chromedome and we see him in the "Brainstorm Universe" without his camera, so he's just a research assistant, not a historian or an archivist. The timefuckery that's happening to the LL-2 Rewind means that he has recordings that he shouldn't have to begin with because he wasn't recording it in Brainstorm Universe.

Rewind's paradox is simply the first symptom of Brainstorm's timefuckery.

I'm kind of afraid that the combiner wars deluxes are going to wind up being even smaller than the current Generations Deluxes.

I mean getting a scale size on them hasn't happened yet and while they look realy good, I don't want them to be teeny tiny.

Do you have that backwards intentionally? The signs in general are creepy and I wonder if we're supposed to take them as something only the 'upgraded' can see

I think there is actually sort of a point made about Minimus coming home - In the original timeline, it was Rewind and Dominus who go off world in search of the Seething Moon while Minimus remains to join the Autobot cause, and likely being Magnus by the same point in the real timeline. Here, Rewind has remained on Cybertron, and never returns to meet Chromedome with Dominus' disappearance triggering that.

Oh also if anyone in the GTA is still looking, Windblade wave is saturating at wal-mart and still on for $10

Go home 3rd parties you're drunk.


Seriously if they're moving onto incredibly recent guys, that could possibly land them into hot water as well. Like it's not even G1 or Nostalgia at this point, Windblade just came out. It hasn't even been 6 months since the first ever figure of Windblade was released.

Are you seriously putting it above the dark prince of bumblebees, Murderbee? Because remember, none of you are safe.

Also Windblade is far superior in robot mode than I expected, able to hold lots of poses and quite charming mounted on Slog.

The pins whispered 'whhhhy cookie rocketttt' at me when I started moving toward jet mode and I abandoned the idea.

poo poo, I forgot Murderbee. It's just, I dunno, the proportions that make this one better (it also has a good balance of black with the yellow, sort of like Murderbee). They finally changed the LOL BUMBLEBEE TRANSFORMATON which frankly I was a bit tired of already.

Paint-wise, Murderbee and BH Night Shadow BB have the best colorschemes. If they released this new Bee mold in stealth colors I'd be super tempted to pick him up.

I can fit Orion Pax perfectly into Metroplex's hand. The OG WFC Deluxe Is way bigger and burlier and therefore you can't do the whole "heed the call of the last Prime" pose.


If deluxes were the same size as they were when generations began I would definetly say that those guys are legends size. But their size class is honestly a gray area at this point because they're comparable to some of the deluxe dudes. Like Hasbro needs to stop making deluxe guys tiny because Legends and Voyager guys have gotten much bigger.

Even FoC Prime, the smallest deluxe that ever smalled, is taller and bulkier than any of them. They're legends sized (well, the "new" legends scale).

So I just found a BW deluxe (merry Christmas BTW, whomever), and he only stands as tall as Gen Scoop. Did the Deluxes go up in size and then back down or something?




Also show of hands here, which of you guys just went out and bought Gen Tankorr and Skywarp to get them off your pegs and called it a day? Just remember God/Buddha/Allah/the Illuminati/Primus is watching. Also is Gen Tankor good, cause I'm pretty sure he's set to burn a few stores down with that shelfwarming.
