Here's a handy tip, if you sign up for the hasbro newsletter, you get a one time use per customer 20% off discount. Combined with the already ridiculous discounts on some of the transformers available, you can get those combiner teams for 24 bucks each, etc.

I added a few roadbusters to my cart, then reloaded my cart and there were half as many, then went to checkout and he had sold out, drat

Least I got home in time to get in on the combiner sets.

Silverbolt is also 7.49

He obviously printed TR's entire TF thread post history to put on their office walls, like some wallpaper of insanity.

I just walked by a store that mostly sells cheap bootleg toys an stuff like that, and they had a weijiang AoE Snarl. It's like voyager size, looked nice. Also an enormous AoE Bumblebee (almost leader size) but I didn't check if it was weijiang too.

Man, so much sucks about my Scourge. Super fuckin' floppy head, and the Titanmaster's waist-bend is really loose too. Left shoulder won't stay on the ball when you move it, left forearm slides off if you swivel it, wrists so floppy it limits how I pose him, and the halves of the, uh, hood? of the space-boat won't end up flush no matter how much I fiddle with it, which bugs me because the 'con sign is split in half there. If I was a kid I'd be pissed 'cause he'd keep falling apart when played with. As a grown adult who still buys toys, though, I'm only mildly disappointed. Looks perfectly fine posed on a shelf, glowering like the bearded grumpy son of a bitch he is.

I do, however, consider it a design flaw that if you're a forgetful bastard like myself (also a design flaw, can't blame that one on Hasbro), leaving Fracas in the spaceboat cockpit can sure be confused with "this is a stiff as hell slider piece" and with enough force you can break the poor guy's spine. Thankfully because his waist is loose and lovely, the tabs didn't snap off. Still feel for the guy. I'm sorry, Rum Ham Fracas!

Is anybody else irrational mad that the new Titan Wars Wheelie doesn't come with a drat slingshot? I need to find somebody with a 3D printer to make me one or hit up Google to see if one exist. On the plus side he looks amazing getting a piggy back ride from MP Grimlock, such a bad rear end little figure.

I gave him the one from GDO Wheelie, and it looks fine in his hand.

Fiddling with Scourge, it looks like his loose head issues are caused by the head socket, not the ball joint on his TM. Can't figure out how to tighten it up.

My understanding of it is, from my limited test sample (3), the bots where the connector socket is fully recessed into the torso make a tighter connection than Scourge, whose "neck grabbers" are a millimetre or so exposed. So the titanmaster's head is only secure at two sides instead of four. No idea how the hell you'd remedy this apart from sticking some fun-tack into his neck-hole, which I think is gonna be my inelegant solution. Right now I managed to get his spaceboat mode all plugged together nicely so he'll be staying like that for a while.

You can dab the sides of the socket with pledge if you want, or coat Fracas' entire head with pledge. It'll have a gloss finish that'll look kinda silly that way though.

When I put Loudmouth on, it wasn't floppy anymore. Looks pretty banging too.

RID gave us a new female Transformer. It's Scatterspike, the recolor of Quillfire. She's in season 3.



The episode also gave us new characters using Bisk and Clampdown's models. The green Clampdown is Clawtrap but they didn't say who the blue one based on Bisk is.
