I just assume the rotating blades used in vacuum are chopping all the fucks they give in their bad rear end space copter Just like Whirl man. He'd put the blades on and be like scientifically difficult to observe variance from absolute zero, bitch On that note I wonder if Luna-2 had an atmosphere when they visited it. Interesting to note Cybertron was implied to have some pretty freaky weather conditions in early IDW stuff, but I can't remember if they drew it with an atmosphere.

Has it been over a year since the last time we heard from the Scavengers/Grimlock in any significant way?

Wave 4 of Combiner wars is confirmed at retail in Target. Got all of the Deluxes, except Sunstreaker. Though unlike wave 3, at least one Mirage was missing, so it looks like people like Yellow Cars. Goddammit kids, buy the set, not just the ones you like! How am I going to get all 4 of the combiner dudes you all keep buying them all higgledy-piggledy!

Far as I'm concerned, Rook and Skydive were always meant to be part of Menasor cause they both agree that their respective own combined forms are huge dorks.

Was digging through some boxes to find some camping stuff, came across the box of Transformers I didn't feel like unpacking. Animated Soundwave was near the top, so I pulled him out and started playing with him. I only have Soundwave and Grimlock as data points, but were all of the Animated toys this loving cool? 'cause goddamn I love both of these dudes.

Prowl and Oil Slick are two of the best bikeformers ever. If you're going for Megatron get the Leader, not the voyager or deluxe, they're kinda meh.

Of the 3 wave four guys: Mirage is near identical, but his head is super tight. Ironhide is also identical, but his legs are super floppy. Prowl has some weirdly messed up elbows, they work, but don't want to get straight. He's better then Dead End for staying together in car mode. However a total remold, I'm not sure how close he is to Streetwise though. Have we gotten any word on deluxe Groove or Ratchet?

I found Rodimus and Skywarp. I would say that Rodimus is the wrong color red, but it's apparently a shade as the Universe 2.0 Legend one which was an update of the Star Convoy Micromaster Rodimus.

Ironhide has been a truck instead of a van since the first live action movie, and Trailbreaker is just a covered truck. Also, Rook is the best of the Protectobots, the dude just owns all four modes.

While that Hound looks really nice (as does the Mastermind Mirage, they both look spot-on), someone told me not to get them as Takara ones are coming soon. That Hound and Mirage are tempting, though, as is Inferno... too bad that Jazz someone is making looks kinda meh. Because you gotta have Jazz.

Went with Maketoys for Reflector cause of integrated lens transformation, and it's more G1 accurate overall. Just hate that shoulder design, no MP has the "shoulder guard" design. catch22 fucked around with this message at 03:15 on Aug 15, 2015 |

I saw a man return multiple devastators today. He must have directly went to the transformers section and bought out whatever wave 4 deluxes they had. I was kicking myself that I did not arrive a few minutes or so earlier. I'm sort of dreading Skylynx's wave because it's the last before titan wars and usually those last waves are a bitch to get and of course it's got like one of the top guys that I want. Then again Arcee, Chromia and Brainstorm are still available from BBTS, and those were the last Thrilling 30 dudes.

Yeah both Fembots are pretty spot on for tiny deluxes. Arcee is one of those characters that needs to be atleast a voyager or larger because her entire vehicle mode is pretty much folds up into her backpack in order to have her resemble the G1 incarnation. However the vehicle mode is accurate to the G1 show character. Supposedly the SDCC version was either inspired by Knight Rider or from some canceled Japanese only toy or whatever but not even TF Wiki is sure why she's repainted black. She's almost like girl skywarp but hot pink instead of purple. I love Ice Planet Chromia though, the regular one is good too with the pastel blue but it lacks the hugeness of the sword.

Yeah they are hanging out with Deathsaurus in the abandoned good plot threads warehouse while the comic focuses on the relationship problems of characters we don't care about, the fact that pop culture exists, and getting misty about its own glory days.
