I received Devastation as a gift and so far it seems fun despite Devastator being ridiculouslyoversized in game. Surprised there hasn't been much talk about it here.

I think there was when it came out. I just got it thanks to the poster that gave the $17.99 link (thanks guy!). I have a feeling it's more common for Devastator to be portrayed as larger than the sum of his parts than not, so that seems par the course.

I'm playing through the game on medium difficulty and Bombshell is absolutely kicking my rear end. I wonder if I can start at the beginning again but with my item/leveling progress intact so I can grind my stuff up enough to make up for my lack of skill at this game...

There's a thread in games about it, I think most people went there. Seems like a good game, but I know from experience that I'm really bad at Platinum games, If it was a Souls game I would have been all over it like a Magnus Armor.

I'd always had an estimate in mind of like 6 months early design, 12-18 design and development (we usually start to see and hear about stuff in here), 6 months to manufacture then ship.

I just assumed they were out of early design and into the design process. But inversely, there is a bay fart cloud over next year, so a titan in late 2016 felt unlikely (I assume fort max is before the movie, then it shifts into movie toys while titan masters trickles out for 12 months)

It's not even necessarily lack of skill. Weapon drops and forging are part of the difficulty curve. You're meant to grind, a lot.

To a ridiculous degree. Once you get past the presentation it's really not a very good game, mainly due to the grind, but people will defend it because it's Platinum. I guess something is better than nothing, though, since we're never getting another High Moon game.

Dear Secret Santee,

I'm sorry my local Vintage stock got a bunch of rad transformers in after I bought you your stuff. Like Energon Omega Supreme, Primus, and a bunch of Prime guys. Hopefully you like what you get anyway.



On a related note I just picked up Gen Sky Byte and that one shark battleship thing Thew did a multi-person review on for $6 each. yay. Especially yay because the other Voyagers were $10.

You have it backwards: Sharkticon was a new mold for Energon that got redecoed as Sky-Byte for some Botcon thing, and also fuckin' sweet to boot.

I was wondering if they had maybe started development on the hush hush and were using the poll to decide which one to release first but I guess not.

I just want people to know that you can make Transformers guys in Xenoblade Chronicles X. It's no 100% exact but it's 98% of the way where.

the mechs also transform which helps with the transformers themed thing. They also explore an environment straight out of 1980's science fiction and battle dinosaurs.

If I didn't have the molds already it's honestly not too bad a price. 2 22 dollar voyagers and 3 15 dollar deluxes.

So expensive but not TFCC expensive. It's Japan prices basically. It should honestly be a hundo.

Sadly HTS doesn't have them from what I saw merely the movie closer color set. A shame because free shipping and 20% off with CYBER as a coupon code. And Chop Shop, Buzzsaw, and Legends Shockwave are in stock. I just ordered Choppy as that Buzzsaw is kind of poo poo compared to even the Data Disk one, and I have Deluxe FoC Shocky. Sadly no Pipes or Jetfires there. And even GEEWUN Slingshot was out of stock. So just Chopshop. I got that Alligatorcon from Impossible Toys for 25 shipped and he is basically worth that. With a slightly higher grade of plastic, a couple more pegs, and some ratcheting joints he would kick all the asses. Instead he is merely pretty neat.

Sure, it's not ludicrous, but I bet Amazon will have a better price in general if they carry it. And they might even have a sale price going into Xmas.

Also, I'm still trying to catch up with regular TF stuff. I just now got Motor Master, and have Silverbolt on the way from Amazon's fifteen dollar Black Friday sale, so I can finally actually form a full combiner. I've had the limbs of those two guys since this summer.

Thank you for reminding me. I don't want anyone from that Legends wave except Shockwave, and he's sold out at BBTS unless you buy a case or a set of whatever.

Out of curiosity, did everyone who wanted a Combiner Wars Viper get one? I'm fishing for my Secret Santee but can't remember if they expressed an interest.

Bought Menasor for $70. He's okay, I guess. How do I make him cooler? There's some weird manner of transforming his shoulders, isn't there?

E:
Also, how cool is Offroad? The set I bought came with Brakeneck, which is cool, but goddamnit I hate the reused molds in CW, and Offroad only exists elsewhere as Ironhide, right?
