Open Marriage Night posted:Do I want Stunticons or Dinobots? Trying to be responsible. I also need Velocitron Scourge and Cosmos at some point. Stunticons are fun, the SS86 Dinos are pretty amazing - although I think it's tougher to get hold of Grimlock and Slug now.

Phy posted:SS86 is a remold of Thrilling 30 Arcee with a new lower body/back end of the car, instead of Earthrise. And good on em, I always thought her transformation that incorporated her pistol as a structural element was a neat idea. Earthrise Arcee is also a pretty bad transformer. The robot mode is fine, the vehicle mode is made of kibbly mess and it's super easy to have her limbs poking out the bottom of the car and it just generally isn't fun. SS86 certainly looks better to me but I've not had chance to have a play with one.

Dawgstar posted:That's fair. I think part of it was Hama was much more invested in it than Budiansky was and Bob probably figured he had to introduce a bunch of new characters anyway so why not keep the old ones on the shelf. Even Budiansky started to pick his favorites, I think, like with Grimlock and Blaster. Right up to the Underbase saga when he cleaned the board. Even poo poo like the Seacons who had only been introduced that year got melted. You're right about Hama though, the dude lived and breathed GI Joe, I think he pretty much created all the characters and any that he didn't he didn't use much (I seem to remember Quick Kick wasn't one of his which is why he mostly spent his appearances injured and in a gulag).

Dabir posted:For anyone still in Birmingham, the little game shop in the Oasis Market has a G1 Catilla going for 30 quid. Can't verify what's inside it but the shell and its tail are both present. This is the same place I got my intact Jumpstarters. Just picked up a pre-owned ER Starscream there myself. I assume the inside contains part of the robot and Bludgeon's sword.

Doesn't matter how fast you watch it though, you're still only getting one, maybe two onscreen transformations per episode. I really wish that show had been better.

Dabir posted:Blackarachnia's transformation in episode 5 was so blatantly cheap I had to rewind and watch it over a few times to be sure I'd just seen it. Transformation sound, flash of light, now she's a spider. Quality poo poo. I liked Scorponok. One mode, falls down a big hole, transformation sound, robot mode jumps out of hole.

Sentinel Red posted:Why does it have all that poo poo around its ankles, is it another animation model thing? I guess it's one of the few combiners that hasn't really had a rerelease? Every scramble city one has had at least a couple of goes already, the Predacons and Constructicons got new iterations in the Combiner Wars/Power of the Primes era, it's only the train lads that haven't really been reworked now.

I thought the DJD were fun, they were introduced as horrible edgelords sure, but then you get that issue where they're back on their ship with Nickel telling them off for the robot equivalent of not eating their greens and doing stretches, Tarn telling them off for not being up to date on their performance reviews and quarterly feedback, and they go from horrible edgelords to a reminder of how banal even the most monstrous evil is most of the time.

Nodosaur posted:https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/10/13/buzzworthy-earth-mode-hound-dotm-hatchet-revealed-467901 That's a nice looking Hound. Siege Hound is what got me back into the toys properly so I definitely want one. Also, SS86 Ironhide is a delightful lad, but is anyone else finding that getting the last bit of his vehicle mode to tab in properly is a lot more stiff and awkward than it ought to be?

On holiday in Torquay and man there's a weird selection in The Entertainer here. Multiple Lift Tickets, a Netflix packaging Hotlink along with a Megs and Prime, old prime masters...

Dabir posted:The one in Birmingham has a weird assortment too. A few old Liege Maximos, a few Titan Changers, some recent Core-class, some Kingdom stuff, I think there's Lift Tickets there too. I know Nick from Toy-Fu picked up a ridiculously cheap Black Zarak there a few weeks ago. Mine pegs in pretty securely but overall I think that toy is ambition overreaching manufacturing tolerances.

Dabir posted:Could be. I remember getting it back into robot mode was weirdly difficult and confusing, especially around the chest. That's one place where the instructions going "now just do it backwards" really don't help. That's definitely supposed to fold up how you think it should and it does on mine - is yours the Wreckers one? If so I wonder if there's been some change somewhere that makes it fit worse or something.

My Wreckers Twin Twist constantly has the hip swivel joint slide off (neatly bisecting the toy) and the legs don't quite lock together neatly in drill tank mode. My original Titans Return Topspin has none of these issues despite being 80% the same mold.
