Combiner wars Reflector would be cool, but a Reflector headmaster with a Reflector head and a weapon that turns into a Reflector camera is something Titan Wars needs to do.

so someone released a video of SS ranking Chapter 1 of Transformers Devastation, and like I was figuring, you do not need to SS every mission to get the overall SS rank. Some missions appear to be impossible to SS rank.  This is... disappointing but also relaxing. EDIT: The moment of course that I realize this, I SS rank 1-4 Onmi fucked around with this message at 07:54 on Nov 7, 2015 |

Tell me is there some book or something that's the equivalent to those "Art of" books or something for any of the major transformer series? Specifically something that gives diagrams or panoramic shots of unpopulated environments/rooms. I mean Hasbro put out a MLP book that's just like this and I want the transformer version in order to build stuff from it too.

Spiderdrake posted:That ship is part of a series of ships built by the Decepticons before the war started going poorly, Grimlock escaped on one of them. I don't believe they implied they're the same ship, did they? Just that they use those ships in particular. the one they found Grimsy on was the one that the one with the wooden bot and half built protoforms and it crashed because blood got in the fuel lines, with the implication being that it certainly was a Decepticon ship but it wasn't Decepticons flying it. Also it's said that Grimsy didn't escape, and didn't get captured, he just went missing

Once you're done making Twilight's friendship castle make the discotheque from Auto-Bop. You don't need any more reference than the episode and MP Track's body is ready. e: As an aside, I would like to mention that, in the tiny toy-based universe I am creating, Dr. Scalpel is trying to build himself an imposing robot body, like Krang in the ninja turtles.

Sentinel Red posted:Jeez, Gam, why the dramatic lamentations? It's not Takara or Hasbro's fault, it's purely down to Porsche being precious about their brand. Check any TF site, Jazz is still popular and one of the most demanded characters for the MP treatment but that really doesn't matter a goddamn thing when the company that holds the rights to his G1 alt mode are snooty dicks about it. They cultivate an image that makes a big deal about their design and engineering, one that goofy rear end robots don't figure in to as far they seem to be concerned whenever anyone's been able to get a quote from them on it. Porsche 911s.... EXPLODE? Wait, what?! Then there's the whole VW emissions scandal. I also recently traded in an '04 VW Jetta that was my first car and it had a whole host of issues that I'd grown tired of dealing with. Door locks that wouldn't work, broken AC, a computer problems, issues with the fuses, and it needed new brakes... Yeah, I don't think German Engineering is all its cracked up to be. More like German over engineering.

German Engineering is the way of designing something, but it costs 4 times as much because they take the most overly complicated way of doing something combined with fixing what isn't broken. Just look at the cars who have a volume control looking dial that's actually the way to shift into park, drive, reverse or neutral. It also takes the same amount of force to change settings as it does a normal volume control and it's located around the same area where you would find a volume control dial.

The MP one has a really subtle lighter blue speckle in it, as well as being, well, shiny.

I'm not buying the theory that Powermaster Optimus Prime is a retool of Generations Magnus. There's too much poo poo for magnus's transformation that relies on him looking like Ultra Magnus. The only parts that could be re-used for prime would be the Cab Flipping mechanism and how the trailer bed becomes legs. He would need to be a heavy heavy heavy retool. And not Only that Powermaster Prime has a rectangular cab where as magnus has a much rounder one. The Cab also becomes the chestpiece, unless they add false kibble. Like 80-90% of Prime would have to be brand new poo poo. I think it's going to be a new mold that can be used for Thunderclash or maybe a Motormaster or a RID Scourge/Nemesis Prime.

You're looking at the timing chain system for the V8 motor Audi used in its S4 sport sedans and wagons. It's really complicated looking, right? That's not the bad part. The bad part is, the chain tensioners and guides are prone to wearing through, loving up the timing, which fucks up your expensive Audi engine. So, you want to replace them before that happens if you like the motor at all. The worst part: This is the back end of the motor. You have to pull the entire thing out to access any of it.

I can't remember what make or model it was, but at once point my roommate had to jumpstart a coworker whose car required you to take the entire engine out just to replace the goddamn car battery.

I think it's not a matter of Hasbro going "oh, we don't make as many in the final wave, they don't sell as well" and more a matter of stores going "lol we don't loving put the boxes on the shelves in a timely fashion, look at our empty but for RID and Shampoo Bottle Transformers selection, hurp dee dee, Roadbuster is a new one, isn't it? Amanda Megantron? Why buy any new cases to put out for people to buy? Rainbowbeard, why don't you just shop online exclusively now." EDIT: I'm going to have to hunt down another Legends Shockwave at retail so Bruticus can dual-wield, I'm not going to buy a whole case from BBTS.
