e: ^^^ SWANK.CAPT. Rainbowbeard posted:That's completely true. Everyone into Transformers would be geewunners who think Rumble is the blue one and I can't even. Rumble IS the blue one. Any of y'all ever been shot by a toy before? I mean not self-inflicted like with CHUG Jetfire's blaster, just the missile launcher triggers on its own? I keep BW2 Starscream/BB from a couple secret santas ago on my desktop tower in my home office, and I was fiddling with them a bit ago. Put them back up on the tower and friggin Starscream shot me. It would be a Starscream, of course.

I feel bad I don't have Metroplex again, but that's awesome. Is some of that the Modulators? Phy posted:Any of y'all ever been shot by a toy before?

Speaking of Beast Wars, Tigerhawk's missile launcher nearly took my eye out once.

I know I fired one of Classics Thundercracker’s missiles by mistake once in my old tiny office room and it straight up vanished into thin air. Never found it, even when we moved and emptied the room out.

SlothfulCobra posted:I never really was able to watch the show because I didn't watch actual TV until the show was on poorly scheduled reruns. I did have the toys, but most of the ones I had were ones that never got picked up for the show, and the rest were transmetals. So maybe I'll get excited if they start mining out the non-show cast. Torca at least has his Blendtron counterpart who is free of GPS, poor Mutants Soundwave is truly damned

banned from Starbucks posted:Decently written is still miles above anything else thats been done with the franchise story wise. And light years above anything in TFA. The toys were neat in how they accomplished the cartoony designs in 3D, but the show was bad then and unwatchable now. The worst kind of 'memberberry vapidity. They started figuring some interesting story threads out in S3, but too little too late. TheDK posted:Is this something people really debate? Of course he's the blue one... It's arguably the first TF fandom argument. It was a big dividing line between fans who preferred the cartoons and fans who preferred the Marvel comic, since they had opposite colors in each.

Is anyone still buying Iron Factory? I missed out on Big Boi Magnus from a decent ebayer, but looking up the upcoming line and it's just kinda nuts I assume given the current pace this won't finish til 2023 but man, this is weirdly appealing  Keldroc posted:And light years above anything in TFA.

I don't think I'd go that far, but big chunks of TFA just aren't very good and it definitely relied way too much on pandering in disservice to its own good ideas. Shockwave, the military bot / civ bot dichotomy actually going somewhere and Omega Supreme are all executed to the benefit of the canon at large. And a lot of its new characters are great ideas.

I’m not really interested in Iron Factory’s samurai line, but I definitely want to grab the new Magnus. However, for now I’m more interested in getting the two big DJD dudes before they vanish and skyrocket in price. Magnus will hopefully keep a while.

The two big DJD dudes did sell out everywhere but they did a second wave. I've been holding off since I'd rather buy a boxed set if they ever do one, and want to keep a loose Tarn anyway. They don't look enticing as individual figures to me, but I always thought the DJD was pretty crap.

I'm all in for IF but not this samurai line. Their normal awesome-legends-class stuff is so cool and fun. The size+detail is very nice for deal display and fiddling. I do have a samurai toilet though, so maybe I'm the problem.

It was a big dividing line between fans who preferred the cartoons and fans who preferred the Marvel comic, since they had opposite colors in each. Which is kind of funny since Rumble and Frenzy barely show up in the whole run outside some early appearances before getting wasted by Omega Supreme. That said yes, much digital ink has been spilled on the conflict.

Yeah. https://tfwiki.net/wiki/FIRRIB When your first ever exposure to the franchise is Marvel's The Transformers #5 and the toys, some things tend to stick.

CAPT. Rainbowbeard posted:Yeah. And, as noted there, Rumble is red 4 times out of 23. Despite the perceived ubiquity of the blue version due to being in the cartoon, which is generally believed to have been a production error originally, he's red way more often than he's blue.

I couldn't think of anything new to say, so...SlothfulCobra posted:I always thought that Rumble was a grayish purplish guy. Never heard of Frenzy until I was an adult. SlothfulCobra posted:Rumble is kinda Purplish Grey, Frenzy I never saw on the show. SlothfulCobra posted:Wait, no, I got this, Rumble is the yellow one, right? SlothfulCobra posted:One is grey, the other is black, I have no idea what you red/bluers are talking about. SlothfulCobra posted:It took me a while to remember what thread this was and that wasn't some kind of furry thing. Bonus: SlothfulCobra posted:This whole thing Hasbro keeps doing where Tank/Artillery transformers use the barrel of their alt-mode as a long and skinny weapon keeps making me think of walking sticks. SlothfulCobra posted:I got myself a skids, and now I can't stop noticing that he's a bit of a chubbo.

Rumble and Frenzy are aware of the controversy and swap names every other day just to confuse people.

Visited a TF collector friend today who's looking to liquidate a lot of his collection to make room in his house, I told him I'd be happy to dig through his collection and pick out stuff I was interested in. When I was heading over to his house, he called and said we'd be going to his storage unit full of Transformers.  He had, just, boxes and totes full of transforming robots (Transformers, Animorphs, Gobots, random knockoff or off-brand stuff, you name it), it was bonkers. I picked up some cool stuff, including: - Beast Wars Transmetal Blackarachnia - Beast Machines Blackarachnia - Beast Machines deluxe Jetstorm - AOE Junkheap - Power Core Combiners Grimsone with Dinobot drones - G2 Strafe - G2 Dirtbag (inspired by a Secret Santa gift in this thread) - RID Super Mach Alert - Beast Wars Retrax - Microverse Beast Wars Orcanoch - Beast Machines Thrust - Beast Wars Spittor - RID Skid-Z - G1 Strafe - G1 Afterburner - Micromaster Flattop - Cybertron Dirt Boss - A bunch of random little bots (small RID guys, micromasters, spy changers)

how it started:Homora Gaykemi posted:boy am i glad my Macross inclinations talked me into getting him instead of the current commander class one 'cause i already have no idea where i'm gonna put one this big, never mind that other behemoth how it's going:  i think i'm counting Devastator differently since his ability to break down into six smaller, elbowless lads means he doesn't require such a large chunk of space compared to a singular, giant robot though if they did a Fort Max reissue i think i'd be kind of tempted at this point
