He's not wrong. Works really well with the color scheme, too. Thundercracker's always been a Good Guy at heart.

If Thundercracker really has a non-bullshit weapon mode I will gladly apologize to my pal the Taint Reaper. Meanwhile, somebody asked for a combiner wars with 4x clone limbs? Here's Ultra Prime with four times the heroic aerialbot, Dragstrip:

Stuff like this shouldn't be the reason I'm glad to have a new job. Not crazy about Menasor's head though.

I had a quick question about the IDW comics. I've been reading MTMTE, and I love it, but I'm now at the beginning of the Dark Cybertron event. If I want to understand what's going on, do I need to read RIB also? Is it worth putting MTMTE on the back burner, catching up on RIB, then proceeding, or should I read select RIB issues, or just go straight in?

Gee, AURON, I sure do love Beastformers! ... but seriously, thank's so much for your generous Secret Santa gifts! I'll enumerate them later, but Gen. Waspinator owns in particular, and the ARE ALL DEAD comic is great.

The PO said that package would show up on the 10th, cool that it got there so early. I actually didn't plan on doing all Beast Wars, but it fell into place that way. Maybe I should have gotten you the Skids, but he was cheaper on Amazon, so I figured he'd be easier to pick up later then Waspinator.

Target is doing a BOGO 50% off sale on TFs right now. Found Snarl and picked up Hot Shot/not Tracks. Snarl is cool, though the instructions don't show that the feet plug into the calves, it shows them hanging super loose. Hot Shot, however, was awful. Not that he was bad, but the Crosshairs mold has some severe mold degradation. The thing is covered in flash, and because of it, it barely fits together. Plus mine had two of the same heel piece, and unless I leave them sticking out of the front of the (super cool) car mode it can't transform. I'm taking him back today for the other one that's on the shelf, but man, that's some hard core QC failure right there.

Hey, I was just curious cause I know at least a couple of you are Macross fans, is there somewhere that I can go to see lists of the toys they've made of each type of valkyrie? Kinda like how TFWiki has lists of figures for each character. I'm looking to start collecting those really high detail looking ones (from Yamato I think?) and wanted to start building up a list of them. Thread contributing material: I just saw that G2 Sideswipe masterpiece dude and he is loving rad. Anyone have this guy and can tell me if this variant of the mold has any issues or finicky bits? It'll be my first MP.

I kind of wish he came with two heads because I'm pretty sure he didn't listen to his mother and his face is now frozen like that. He has more weapons than he can properly hold, unless you want to stick the engine block gun in his backpack roof hole. His make-believe balance is thrown off by that, however. Put all/most of the stickers on in when in car mode, those side panel ones are impossible to get right in robot mode. \/\/\/ Don't get me wrong, I love the G2 comics and the figure! Still, it's not your father's Autobot...

Just got home to see that MP Bumblebee and company had arrived. BumbleThoughts: Daniel is a waste of plastic, with unpainted eyes. I know he was included to make up mass but I would rather have had a 20 dollar cheaper toy instead. Or whatever the proportionate savings would have been. Very clever transformation on both Daniel and Bumblebee. Bumblebees faces are basically an opened or closed mouth, he's not exactly super expressive. I kind of wanted that G1 "battle face" but oh well, those sold out five seconds after the listings were put up on BBTS. I was not aware that the Volkswagon Type-1 didn't have a passenger side mirror. I tried to put the extra in past the metal pin until I remembered old cars didn't always have both passenger and driver side mirrors. On the other hand, two mirrors for if you lose one! The yellows are all all right to me, but I'm not a color expert.
