I picked up one of those last year from a toy show in the UK, and I definitely remember somehow seeing it in the 80s.

MP BW Megatron is rad and more cartoon accurate imo (just look at the heads, the MP is straight out of the show) and I imagine this one is going to be much smaller than the MP, but it looks cool as hell and I'm probably going to end up picking it up too.

Oh yeah he still is, don’t get me wrong. But he’s super expensive at this point. So if I can get a new, really good-looking one at a fraction of the price I’ll take it.

That mammoth makes me think of Power Rangers, although I guess it'd have to be a mastodon for that.

And I don't want a T-Rex Megatron unless it has rollerblades.

Considering the guy who makes it does smut on the side(including several based on Transformers Prime) that's not surprising

I didn't even mean specifically sexually gratuitous, but there is definitely that too. It feels a lot like a webcomic sometimes in that there's all these silly things that built over time into an elaborate world with drama in between silliness.

Also there's an issue where Megatron and Optimus Prime (or independent characters that just bare an extreme resemblance to them in a vague attempt to comply with copyright law) swap minds with the main character and her boyfriend in an attempt to escape and leave the warring factions they led behind.

I'm not a massive BW guy but that Megs is a must buy for me.

Just picked up an old Bandai GoDaiKin Dancougar Mammoth for pretty cheap on ebay, and this guy is great. He goes from a sort of space tank, to space elephant mode, and then a pretty goofy G1 looking robot mode. I'm going to have to keep a lookout for the rest of his little combiner dudes who seem to transform into a massive head and van shoes.





Dancouga is an interesting show to say the least, can't think of any other show where the titular combined robot doesn't even appear till like 20 episodes in and most of it's attacks and weapons were made up for post series OVA's or Super Robot Wars appearances rather than in the show itself

Look what Hubcap/Cliffjumper/Bugbite can do!

If you put the gun bits on his back the same way you attach them for the jet ski mode you can put the backpack on over that to make a jet pack.

That extra part looks like a knife with the grey paint app. Sort of, like a K-BAR tool.

Yup, Dancouga's combination is 100% just some platform shoes and a hat. The mammoth is 90% of the dang robot in a way that even like, a Power Ranger guy just putting some armour on isn't.

I have MP BW Megs and I 100% plan to get this one, with a second for my son. MP BW Megs is cool but I fear transforming him due to all the scary-thin panels. I'd like one I can transform.

Welp, I didn't remember to check on the Quintesson set on Pulse until 20 minutes after it went on sale to the general public, and it was already sold out. Was it ever available to the public, or did the Pulse members get them all? I don't need the set bad enough to pay what a Pulse membership would cost.

If you're gonna get your Selects through Pulse rather than somewhere else, I bet it would work out, considering how many Goddamn Selects they push out.

Beats BBTS, for me at any rate.

We were allowed one. That doesn't account for assholes with multiple accounts, I guess, but at least it's something, as far as anti-scalping procedures go.

Same. I was pondering selling my FT stuff just because of how pricey some of it has gotten but I wanna check out that chonky space bus first. I also paid for Super Megatron yesterday so I'll have a couple fun things to ship out soon.

I'm good, but I can imagine. If you are already into buying titty figs and happen to also like transformers then this is a slam dunk. The alt mode isn't even that bad. It would probably sell a ton without an alt mode even.

Maybe because it's an original character, and the T&A are not as exaggerated.

They had a pre-order up in the main section (not in pulsecon) around 12:40ish when I bought mine (est arrive 10/19). Their site is down now, but I would check back for more pre-orders.

Yeah I'm keeping an eye on it, I'm hoping it'll come back in stock. Ultimately I'm not super invested in it, I just like the idea of the slightly different colored figures to be like, the lead sharkticon/allicon, but if I don't get it oh well. The retail release figures suit me fine.

I had him on pre but cancelled a couple months ago, a. it's kind of a bad time to be buying a $300 CAD transformer with all the other poo poo I've got on preorder and b. Sheridan had me a little spooked on FT's initial quality, $300 is also a lot of money to drop on a transformer that could have issues out of the box, if he turns out to be fantastic I'll wait for the second run

Actually, y'know what? Between the head looking nothing like Arcee, and the whole issue, Big Firebird Arcee is like the Halloween Store Knockoff Costume version of Arcee.
