Thanks for the article, DoctorWhat, it's nice to know my brain's not always a liar and they actually WERE from McDonalds

Rhyno posted:This is LEGIT I was just thinking about him after seeing The Basics video about Optimus. I loved the art on the Dreamwave books back in the day. I’ve been watching videos about Power Master Optimus Prime, and I think I had the original one from a flea market that was missing pieces. Didn’t know back then that the trailer combines with him. I’d like to add one to my want list, but I’m still waiting on my unemployment money to come in.

So is Baba consistently tacking on shipping or just for bigger stuff? Heat Death looks amazing and his price is good, but the shipping is still free.

Whelp, I got my Newage Jazz, Shockwave, and Starscream in. They are fantastic; especially Starscream! Went ahead and put in an order for Megatron and the Coneheads as well. That's going to tap me out for a bit, but I'm over the moon with these! Also, got TFC Sinnertwin in the same shipment. He's also really great and I'm probably going to build Abominus now, so I'm going to have to start ebaying somethings...

Rhyno posted:Yeah but I have to make another order to get the drat screw. Which is stupid. What, like, they won't ship you the screw unless it's in a box with another toy? That's dumb as hell and I'm sorry about that. But you may be lucky and have a good one, so, here's hoping. I gotta figure out something to buy off Amazon to get free shipping on Sideswipe, who, in retrospect, I absolutely shoulda grabbed. I may be turning into a Lambros guy. Meanwhile I also seriously need to finish RG Tallgeese* and pick up the RG Nu and Sazabi, cause modelling is also fun. *It is my considered opinion that when speaking of Tallgeese, one omits the article, as one does when talking about Concorde. IE it's not The Tallgeese, or A Tallgeese, it's Tallgeese. I don't expect this to stick but I'm gonna keep doing it cause it's fun for me.

It is dumb as poo poo. Baba bent over backwards to get me replacement parts from TFC about two years ago so I'm spoiled by good service.

Captain Magic posted:
 and hey rhyno, remember that OSKO predaking, I forget the name, maybe it was a KO feral rex, with the absurdly, stupidly huge sword that nothing can possibly hold because it's a quarter pound and a foot and a half long? turns out Apollo can sorta hold it, he can't quite hold it by the hilt(it's too big even for his gorilla mitts to hold) but he can hold it with the thin detailing at the base of the blade at least

A prequel is the works, but it’s not exactly clear to what. It would seem to cover similar ground to the Netflix show.

Honestly I don't see the appeal at all for Show Accuracy when it comes to Beast Wars for the most part, show has aged very badly visually, like near unwatchable at this point

He’s not wrong though. But I wasn’t a fan of Beast Wars in the first place. Primal and Megatron are a bat and gator to me.

With the exception of the movie, G1 looked like it was melting most of the time. Parts of the show are certainly dated but to say it doesn't hold up when the vast majority of Transformers cartoons are barely animated is hilarious

It wasn't until years later that I saw the Japanese beast wars. Optimal Optimus is still one of my favorites because of how wacky the whole thing was in the show.

The thing is Why scorponok They don't do that many predacons to begin with. If they have to do just season 1 characters then even terrorsaur would be more interesting.
