Did you realize as you were posting he thinks he's posting as a witty Whedon character?

This made the whole posting string worth it.

Although I didn't think the issue was that great, but maybe it was an IDW vent on how much they didn't enjoy doing Revolutions.

That being said, it doesn't influence my opinion of this issue very much.

You can believe what you like, I often post spoiler/rumors in other BSS threads that end up being 100% true and that forum is my source.

Nah, it's fine. There's chatter about it in the FB groups as well. Numerous people have commented that they are annoyed that Revolution only existed because Ryall has been trying to get ROM at IDW for 10+ years and this was the only way to make that happen.

You can generally trust Rhyno on stuff like that.

You can not trust Rhyno on when to buy a KO. He will always say yes. Even when the KO is on fire. Even when it's an OSKOF.

From what I saw at TFCon, they might be around 10 too much for the plastic involved, even factoring in BBTS' markup, but I like the looks of them.

Kind of like Masterpiece Bumblebee, there's a mass question there.

If you accumulate urine, it means you're being funny? You... store it in jars, until you have all the pee? I'm not sure how this works.

So, just to be clear, you actually want the piss? And that's how people know you're... joking? I can think of better ways that don't involve tinkle-water.

Is it so the birds don't don't get the pee? Larks and starlings... like golden showers. Okay. I think this all makes sense.

(Did I do it? Did I get all the peepee?)

Someone hoarding all of his pee was how Phosphorus and matches were made.

UNNECESSARY LINE BREAK
I took Twinferno (Doubledealer) out. He is.. Eh. Robot mode would be great outside of no wrist swivels and is thus palm up fist forever. And the guns don't much want to peg in so they are either a backpack or shoulder cannons. Which is ok since otherwise he would be holding his guns on the dragon back chin in the doofiest gangsta style ever. Beast mode is kinda lovely. Furry limbs. Long upper body. Tail does not want to peg the gently caress in at all. Pelvic skirt looks bad in either position.

It needed a second design pass honestly. The potential is there but the execution is flawed, especially given the scary rear end snapping into place everything but the effing tail section does. Nice colors and a groovy Titan Master head.

Right now I am afraid he is the worst Titan Master Deluxe. :smith:

I know the guy who was working the FP booth, he's the local dealer for Toronto, and he didn't mind me picking them up. I think anyone could, mind, but I was saying hello anyway. I didn't study them in detail but they have to be no more than 75%, maybe 60% the mass of Striker Manus. Who is the same price, and pretty clearly better engineered. Rumor has it the reps thought it should be $60.

And yeah I like how they look. The accessories look great, too. Talking about this for those who care.

I guess I'll have to comfort myself while I wait for them to go on sale with Rioter Despotron and the nice IF offerings coming out. Oh noooo.

I had fun with the Revolutions issue. I don't really care about all the things they want to jam into Transformers so I was like yea, allright. Now I can just kind of ignore them again. Also I hope Grimlock gets his brains back. Or at least to the brains of G1 cartoon Grimlock :(

I can't figure out how to get Bisks car mode to tab correctly. His left front wheel part just won't tab in in car mode and I can't figure out how to get it to stay. Something keeps popping it back out and I don't know what.
