Is that freedom rock? Well turn it up!
What are the chances of anyone having spare hands and helmet for Generations Metroplex? I ended up finding one at a thrift store missing everything that’s not bolted down. I know there was that DNA kit for both going around a few years back that’s impossible to find, thought I’d see if anyone here bought em and wants to sell the originals. In the meantime I’ve used a couple Sixguns to flesh him out and fill gaps, and a G1 Scorponok helmet works ~pretty well~. Figured I’d check here before I buy the DNA fort Max hands and either live with blue hands or paint em

There was an older upgrade kit that has a whole new head but it's extremely rare. A bunch of DNA kits just got put back up for preorder so there's a chance they will re-release the 'plex sets.

Hasbro Pulse is letting you buy Netflix Soundwave and Netflix Axey Prime, and just sent me an email about coming to the UK.

I would have waited if I had known instead of hunting down a Netflix Soundwave at COVIDtowne, er, Walmart.

They're packing Rattrap in with Optimus for the Netflix release. There's a pic floating around but it confirms BW Netflix stuff is coming.

Today is a shitshow, and the used G1 and G2 bots I bought on eBay are no exception. I got a G2 Windbreaker and he’s missing a head (which wasn’t apparent in the photos and wasn’t mentioned in the description) and I got a G1 Ironfist which is missing his light piping (it was present in the listing photos). It’s just... not in his head.

Am I an rear end in a top hat for complaining to the sellers and looking for partial refunds?

SNAD them and pick something else

If an eBay item is significantly not as described, you can report the problem in either the eBay Resolution Center or the PayPal Resolution Center. You may be asked to return the item to the seller to be eligible for a refund.

Basically you demand a refund because what you were sold was not close enough to what was shown.

Be nice first and ask for a refund, maybe it's an honest mistake of some sort - but if you get any trouble at all just register the complaint with eBay.

And apparently the Voyagers for this round are Primal & Rattrap, and a sparkles Seeker with two Targetmasters.

I shall call him "Shitstorm."

Also, I guess that's the other version of Deep Cover they were talking about, huh? I do like me a blue Transformer...

I have a bin of original Beast Wars bots with three BW2/Neo bots. Anybody interested in that stuff or should I just trade it in at the shop when I go to indy? Most of them are complete. I can do a detail list and pics if there's some real interest but I'd be wanting to sell it as a lot.

There's a BW2 Lio Convoy and Galvatron in there, both 100% complete.

There were two Marvel hardcovers, Battle for Earth and The Autobots' Secret Weapon. Both open with this cool trippy (or nonsensical) space scene:



Battle for Earth is the one where Sparkplug is drawn looking like 'Bob' Dobbs:



Also at the end of that one the Autobots literally murder all of the Constructicons.

There's also the Spoiler Pack: https://www.walmart.com/ip/TRA-GEN-WFC-N-UNBOXING-3/234945305

Leader class, a Fossilizer, and six accessories. Word is that it'll be a Megatron redeco (T-Wrecks? A less neon purple version of him?) and the clear purple Paleotrex that was seen before.

Edit: And what seems to be the first glimpse of Kingdom Galvatron.

The one above him is T-Wrecks, a repaint of Leader Beast Megatron.

The Seacons are currently available for preorder on Hasbro Pulse, btw.

Finally the chonky boy showed up. The alt-mode looks fantastic and while I wish he'd had a little more articulation like on the wrists and such it's still decent. Also, the transformation is really fun to tool around with. Great figure.

Huh, I thought the blurb said this was going to be a leader class figure with a Fossilizer?

EDIT:

quote:


This pack includes a Leader Class 7-inch scale figure inspired by the character as seen in the War for Cybertron series. With 47 deco ops and battle-worn details this is the most series-accurate version of the character.

This toy converts to vehicle mode in 17 steps, the included Fossilizer figure breaks apart into bone weapons to armor up the figure. Comes with 6 accessories inspired by the events in the show!
