Woo, my local Asda had Wave 4 TR in and I picked up Topspin :toot:

Still no Topspin at my Asda, but if he's spreading then hopefully soon!

It was either now or at TFN, but I was there and so was he so... �\_(ツ)_/�

So what are these holes for? Are they a Twintwist thing? I feel like the weapons should plug in, but they don't.

So they can ride on the top. Through space. At godstomping speeds, right above the giant fuckoff motors.

Titanmasters are p. metal.

Had a bunch of fun yesterday, good to meet you all! The movie was exactly as atrocious as I had hoped. Hope I wasn't too much of a jackass. Big thanks to DK and Keith for helping me snag what might have been the last non-transparent, non-red Sphinx at the show. You're both awesome.

Yep, exactly that, but MP aesthetics.

Also I'd like no combiner kibble with integrated hands and feet, but I've pretty much given up on anyone ever doing that.

Speaking of Titan Masters, has any third party company decided to start making heads for the bodies that are just heads? Like a plain ol' Hot Rod head without legs hanging off the back?

Not as a line-wide thing yet, afaik, but Renderform has a couple of different styles of Just Heads for Galvatron in their upgrade kits, and Hasbro's done one itself for NITRO ZEUS

Guys how widespread is the TR Trypticon hip/leg issue? Mine just arrived from BBTS and I REALLY don't want to have to take it apart but I will if that's the common sense move at this point.

You can also test it a bit and if the legs are hellishly tight then yeah you probably have to trim 'em springs a little.

Some guy on /toy/ did a part swap between the two molds, apparently the only thing you need to do is sand down some tabs on the arms of one of them

Yeah I was leaning that way. Just kinda curious if someone could fix something like that. I don't think I could do it. I'm already nervous as poo poo thinking about the slight mod I have to do on my KO Red Alert.

Not the best photos, but my new phone seems to struggle with glass cases in a new and exciting way. All my MMC display photos are trash, heh.

I think the Rail gun package (on the back of Bruticus) can go on Onslaught, but doesn't in this picture. Can hold Bridge watcher too, which I think is turning into a standard feature of Bruticii.

Basically I'm really impressed with this one, people might have some problems with the colors but I don't notice. Carbros look good too. Pity IF didn't have their coneheads out, guess they're a bit behind on those, and no sign of MakeToys Thunder Erebus either.

Looks like FansProject might be dead too. Could only find one seller even displaying the latest LER gals, and no sign of their Snarl, which apparently had to undergo revisions due to problems with his tail being assembled backwards at the factory.

Lot of other lame prototypes and 3P stuff floating around I didn't photograph. FT's Omega Supreme is successful at being a gently caress off huge animation model brought to life, but man, it sure doesn't look great up close.

CAPT. Rainbowbeard: Apr 5, 2012; My incredible goodposting transcends time and space but still it cannot transform the xbone into a good console.; Lipstick Apathy

Just received The Head Of Thunderwing from Knormal and it is a hefty, majestic thing. So many different color plastic (four!) and paint apps (also four!) It's also about twice the weight of any of my other Titan Masters. He's a solid little brick of unstoppable destruction, and I love him. Now I just gotta hope that a Target nearby puts out new stock and doesn't wait till all the Berserkers and Slashes are sold to put out a Nitro Zeus. I feel that Nitro Zeus and Mr. Torgue would be best pals.

Thank you Knormal!

Side note, are the other bots in that set also made of heftier plastic?

Kapow toys will have purple Calidus and Yellow Truck Terraegis at TFNation. Both will run you about �75-80 each depending on exchange rate. Oof.

Grabbed Scoop from Kapow to backfill my Wreckers team now that TR has made finishing it actually possible. He's... odd. Feels like someone made a Legends class and upscaled it to Deluxe for some reason. Transformation is less complex than CW Shockwave, and somehow feels like they sort of forgot to include a good chunk of the vehicle mode. Cool robot though, which is the most important thing really.

Unfortunately looking at the G1 toy I think the transformation is actually slightly better and the end vehicle looks a bit more convincing.
