Has anyone said how the Onslaught alternate colors thing will be handled? I'm assuming one will come in this wave, and the recolor will be with Skylynx's wave, but it's only a hunch.

Today I saw a 4x4 the same metallic colour as Takara Generations Kup and the plate said G1 KUP.. Dunno if it was a thing or just coincidence.

Got a RiD Underbite for my daughter, now I kinda want to get one for myself. That is a real good tiny wolf/future car toy. Reminds me a lot of G1 mini vehicles which is something I've been missing. Makes up for the clearance chainsaw slash vehicon which I just had to get yesterday. That is a bad toy.

e: and my Retrax came in. I had originally intended to replace his head, tail and body segments with lexan, rotate the robot parts 90 degrees, add in a second pair of legs and generally make a decent toy out of him. Now that he's in my hands though I really just want to replace the arms. Any good arm donor suggestions? Should be deluxe size, preferably with a solid upper arm (to accommodate drilling so it can go on the rod that's already there) ball joint elbow and wrist swivel. Ideally it should look cool and be cheap and easy to find.

Honestly, I think DT tells us too much sometimes. I worry about nondisclosure agreements and the like. I really don't want a guy to loose his job because Hasbro found out he said too much on some obscure Internet forum. I like the inside info as much as the next guy, but I don't really like asking him questions much because I don't want to get him in trouble. Then again, I might just be paranoid and worrying over nothing.

He tells us about things which are shipping and little else.

I agree I don't want the duder to get fired though. I don't want anyone in the thread to get fired. Not even our dearly departed Taint.

BIG TIP OFF THAT IT'S FAKE:

It's not "Titan Wars", it's "Titans Return". We KNOW this. That's an inept forgery.

EDIT: I mean it might be old enough to predate the name change (because they said at NYCC that at one point it WAS gonna be "Titan Wars") but I'm gonna be skeptical.

He's trying to go into the legal department (so he has some kind of aptitude for liability spotting) and never directly tells us anything that hasn't already been made public. He's a big boy and can handle himself.

Also, that thing looks like rear end and I hope it's not true.

Okay. Again, sorry, I'm probably worrying over nothing.

That said, I figured if they ever chose to make a Fort Max, they'd reuse tooling from Metroplex to save costs.

Marketing materials and speculation are not spoilers. Jesus Christ.
^Even the illustration seen makes it pretty obvious it's a Generation Metroplex retool.

The red shins make me think that slide may not be on the up-and-up. Or maybe the Hasbro one will have inexplicable red shins just so Takara has something to fix for their version.

It's not showing as available for me yet on Sirtoys but when it does I think I'll be doubling down on it... I think it's unlikely someone won't at least break even. They may start doing palette swaps after this run, if so the red version will be in demand

He's offering it to people in the order that they want listed it as he's just getting a few at a time. I'm gonna buy it but put the shipping on hold til next week so I can snag a bunch of other stuff I want.

It’s time for…
:siren:THE 2015 TRANSFORMERS THREAD SECRET SANTA!:siren:



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 )First step, simply sign up here: http://goo.gl/forms/haj1oxvXFn

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 SATURDAY NOVEMBER 14TH! #SAVETHEDAY Assignments will 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 - Tuesday December 15th (This is the UK to US last shipping date, so I'd imagine the same is true vice versa)
• Within the same country - Friday December 18th (ditto)

6) WHEN YOUR GIFT ARRIVES: Show us your loot! Take pictures! You can wait until Christmas morning if you want, but still, show us all the awesome goodies your 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 15th, 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!





Thanks for setting all this up. I almost missed it but signed up today. :)

Someone fixed the aspect ratio of the picture by aligning Fort Max with the blueprints that showed up (at botcon I think?) when they weren't supposed to unveil Titans yet, and it fits. I'll try to find the pic.

It does not look dissimilar nor is a Fort Max a surprise whatsoever. We know one is coming.
