Sprung for Ratchet and Frenzy (Red).

Just came to post this. Exactly this because I pre-ordered those two as well. :D

Magnus is very tempting but $90 is a lot of dollary-doos and I like my CW Magnus well enough.

I don't know if it's considered a terrible faux pas to cross-post from SA-mart, so blank this post and probe me to death if it is, sorry!

Long story short, I had an unexpected and rather large bill hit me, so I'm trying to scare up some cash to offset the impact. Selling a bunch of recent-ish Transformers toys as part of that: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4040337&pagenumber=1#post534099619

The only really 'rare' thing I'm selling is the Paradron Medics set. Maybe by the time the new Ratchet or Magnus actually hit stores I'll have the fun-bucks budget for them! One can hope.

The reason Rumble (Red) sold out so quickly is because everyone knows that Rumble is the Red one and what he's labeled as doesn't matter, since we all know it except for those with the geewun brainworm.

Literally nobody gives a poo poo about Frenzy or Buzzsaw.

It was the first to go on Pulse. Had to use Amazon.

Longtime leaker on TFW2005 hinting that next year's Amazon capsule collection is the Mayhem Attack Squad.

edit: "One thing I’m still searching for is next year’s Amazon Capsule, I’m sure once I find something it will cause Mayhem. Once all is revealed hopefully the toyline will finally be United"

mayhem attack squad hint, plus United hint... looking at which toys were released in United... THUNDERWING ? ? ?

I finally opened up SS86 Brawn, he’s pretty cool. Transformation is reasonably simple but at the same time has enough unconventional bits to keep him interesting, I like him.

Enemy needs an opposite number like Rumble has with Frenzy.

I vote he be called “Foe”.

Enemy and Foe are differentiated by their attitudes; Enemy is just surly and adversarial while Foe is Machiavellian and dramatic.

BAH!

I had a Planet X Kadmos (their Star Saber) on my eBay watch list. I had an online meeting over-run by fifteen minutes (and I'd shared my loving screen), and I missed it. Bloody thing went for less than £90, rather than the usual £140.

I've wanted either Kadmos or the IronTrans Star Blade for quite a while. There's no KO of the Masterpiece that I can find for sale, and I don't know why but the HasLab version just doesn't work for me like the slightly more stylised.

This has annoyed me enough that I may have to wait for next payday and sacrifice the contents of my bank account to ShowZ...

what i'd like, tbh, is just big neat swords for haslab victory saber and legacy menasor. i don't want a $60 upgrade kit of thigh fillers and leg extenders and booty blasters and whatever else. just bigger versions of their swords that don't have that lame 3d-print diy texture

i don't know why this thought struck me, but once it did i needed to do some napkin math.

according to google a cruising motorcycle is, on average, around 100 inches long and 50 inches tall. wreck-gar's studio series voyager toy, in cycle mode, is ~6.5 inches long. his robot mode is ~7 inches tall. 6.5/100 = 7/x, and by that math, in robot mode, Wreck-Gar is 107 inches tall, or just under 9 feet.

i know, i know, mass-shifting, subspace, blah blah blah, but lmao at imagining Wreck-Gar being 9 feet tall next to, like, Ultra Magnus
