Really? You just sort of assumed that Japanese comics wouldn't be about weird stuff like how the Autobots all got circumcised?

Four combiners with matching limbs is the only logical choice left for you.

Why'd you get four copies of those again? Although I'm not gonna lie, I could use an extra Alpha Bravo and Rook so I can can be like "eh whatever" and slap them on torsos that don't really have their own limbs, like Optimus or Sky Lynx. Too bad Offroad is the only extra Decepticon limb so Galvatronus will just have to hobble along on one leg.

It's hard to turn down the option of a bunch of 100 dollar giftsets for 24 dollars. Trip report on the first one: positives: superion's bunny ears aren't as bendy, the chest cover stays together better, the legs of the smaller bots are sturdier negatives: superion's fist broke off immediately(clean shear), the fist pegholes don't work as well and the fists fall out, the smaller bot elbows feel like they're going to snap off if you twist them a certain direction

Captain Invictus posted:I mentioned it while the sale was going on, but signing up for the hasbro toy shop newsletter nets you a one-time, once-per-person 20% off coupon, yes. And it stacked with the existing discounts. Well holy loving cheap Transformers. I snagged mine from Ebay before I was even aware they were closing out on HST. I guess I'll wait for Bruticus and Defensor to get closed out.

Well, all the limbs I have except for Rook, Alpha Brave and Offroad are on other combiners. They're the 3 guys who kinda got orphaned and replaced. I didn't get any limbs that were non-combiner guys made into combiners, i.e. Prowl, Wheeljack, Ironhide, etc. because I already had figures of them and had a rare moment of self-control.

They're the 3 guys who kinda got orphaned and replaced. Neither did I. Which is why those three orphans are going on Sky Riegn. Plus, I'm getting the stickers from Reprolables to turn CW Ironhide into Smoulder. Sky Riegn don't give a gently caress. I'm not really mad about G2 Superion, actually. Mrs. Rainbowbeard is just... very space conscious.

The_Doctor posted:It annoys me the only place I can find Wave 2 TR guys is Walgreens who are charging $20 each for them. They are slowly showing up here and there. You would think this close to Hasbro's HQ we would reliably get stuff first here in New England but.. no. Once in a while Wal Mart gets the Deluxes in first for a single box worth, but in general we get stuff 1-3 months after the first sightings on TFW2005 start popping up. I am doing alright on getting the ones I want though:  Right now of Wave 1-2 I really only must simply have Highbrow, Rumble, Brawn, and the other non repaint TM figure. I wouldn't mind cheaply priced PM Prime, Scourge, JPN colors Blurr, and SDCC Fort Max. (150 for plain US version? No. I actually saw it last night. I passed. Id be hard pressed to pay 150 for the SDCC one so maybe I am just a bad nerd?) I actually saw a Chromedome at the closest Walgreens meaning they might have had in Brainstorm, and the Target I got Wheelie and Rewind from a few weeks back had a pair of Laserbeaks meaning they probably had in Rumble. This was the first week I saw in a non nerd shop Blaster and PM Prime. 40-45 bucks is a lot but Blaster was one of my favorite Marvel comics TF characters so I had to get him. (Probably won't get Soundwave though. I am cool with my G1 rerelease and both FoC color Voyagers. The FoC Disks do fit in Blaster but sometimes the button activates inside it meaning its tricky to take the disk out but it still works. Ish!) I just recommend being patient and alert. vvvv Well yeah but as long as you don't need SCALE PERFECT such as it is, there is always the kick rear end Voyager Brainstorm: https://goo.gl/photos/1iqQY8qGLUZNftJZ9 I gave mine a good panel inking and he looks friggin great. Course he is probably harder to find than the Walgreens one, especially since there are the SDCC and Takara versions if you want to spend more or don't mind different colors/noggins.... vvvvv Captain Rufus fucked around with this message at 05:00 on Sep 28, 2016 |

Anora posted:I see ... Blue ... tank plane ... head guy is not a fan of Skullsmasher. I'm looking at them as Transtectors from Jpn Headmasters. The bodies are merely suits for wee TFs. And I switched em because little blue guy gives the purple T. rex a cute little grey mouth.  the guns pointed upwards are a bit of a joke for Skullcruncher's now infamous loose hips.There are too many dudes to remember all their names. Though tfwiki can help if it matters. (It shouldn't. And I tend to be good at remembering useless information as opposed to poo poo I should know.) In general they all have ironic names, both bodies and heads. Plus IDW fanboy here so it's Chromedome not him and whoever his head is that nobody cares about because they had microscopic levels of characterization. Do the GW thing and FORGE THE NARRATIVE. Like Zarak and both of Cerebros' heads were the only ones with any drat character anyhow. Possibly Hi Q. Kinda. He was bald and scientist. Like narrative ing it means they are just another type of Minicon that doesn't want to be drat weapons and power ups for the big robots so they just made robot bodies so they can be on equal footing with those warmongering assholes. Perhaps many of our favorites were always secret Minicons.  They started out making them little vehicle thingies and then upmoded the tech to full scale. Or I dunno, maybe it's what eventually lead to Beast Era with smaller robots but they started out making their heads robots as a way to ease themselves into being all wee and fuel efficient to MAKE CYBERTRON GREAT AGAIN. The point is we should not think about it all too hard because it's goofy, dumb, and irrelevant anyhow but it's total post Movie toy fan service because nobody comes up with original poo poo any more when selling the same IP to kids and or their parents via parent nostalgia is easier and less likely to make as many failed toy lines. (We have bad movies to do that now.) Edit: I mean it's great for a lot of us but I kinda feel for kids who just don't have lots of NEW STUFF like we did. Unless Minecraft n poo poo like that counts. Also we didn't have the internet making every lovely cartoon super lovely via people making porn and political statements out of it. On the upside cartoons now are usually way better than the tripe us 80s kids had to sit through most of the time. Captain Rufus fucked around with this message at 06:37 on Sep 28, 2016 |

Well I love me some combiners so I couldn't wait and tore into Computron. I feel that the slight retools and paint apps are almost enough to set him apart from Superion, if they'd just sprung for a new face for Compy he wouldn't need an add on kit. The new hands and feet are excellent and are what we should have gotten from the start. Despite the hands having no articulation I like them better than what Victorian got. If someone KO's these in the assorted colors for under $10 a set I might be tempted to go for them as they just feel right here. The only real bad thing here is my Scattershot is a bit floppy in torso mode so I'm gonna have to add some floor polish so he can make some dynamic poses.

One last couple of shots, the four of them together  I have SO MANY handfeet. It's ridiculous. Also, the Perfect Effect KO's feet are way, way better at maintaining balance in poses than the nonnef ones.

therealjon_ posted:Are the KO feet/hands on eBay? Yeah, in the last few pages they've been linked, they're like 15 bucks a set which isn't bad at all. The hands aren't the best since they don't have angle tilts for splaying the fingers sideways like the nonnef ones do, but they're not stupidly fat mitts like the nonnef ones either. The feet though, they're fantastic and really stable. I will probably buy more. Lepecard posted:I wanna' see you arm one of them with as many hand/feet guns as possible!
