Hey same age buddy. I wish I could go back in time and punch myself for selling a bunch of my G1s including Megatron and Prime (along with my Star Wars toys) so I could buy Chromedome the Headmaster. Sigh.

The best part is that the original Transformers series was meant to be a 4 issue mini-series, so the mini-series technically ended with Shockwave killing all the autobots. The thing I loved about the comics more than the cartoon is (aside from darker subject matter) is that it focused on random characters as leads. Ratchet was one of the primary characters early on, later on Blaster became the heroic point character. Grimlock took over as leader (was in fact nominated as leader), and it wasn't typical "ME GRIMLOCK" - he had a level of intelligence, but his biggest downfall ws his arrogance. For villains - they had freaking Ratbat as the main villain for a while.

What's the reading order on the Humble Bundle comics? It's 4 series, Robots in Disguise, More Than Meets the Eye, Days of Deception, Dark Cybertron.

Spiderdrake posted:No, it's actually two series with terrible confusing labeling. You basically read MTMTE and RID by themselves (they don't overlap for quite a while) until you get to Dark Cybertron, which tells you at the end of each issue what to read next. Then it goes back to MTMTE and RID independent of each other.

As someone who hasn't bought Transformers since the days of "go to Toys R Us and hope the commemorative edition one you want is there", what's going to be the best route to get a Devastator?

I'm just sitting back all  at you guys talking about your Transformers investments. Who needs a 401k when I've got a giant box of unopened Star Wars: Power of the Force figures from the 90s sitting in my basement, just waiting to be cashed in on. I've even got FOUR Slave Leias!

I opened my big bin of loose Transformers that has sat awaiting the return of my inner man-child for a couple years and forgot I have a giant bag of miscellaneous guns/combiner parts that I bought on eBay about 10 years ago. Is there an extensive guide out there to help me identify by picture what part goes to what bot?

Man, Devastator is the most poseable guy. I accidentally knocked him off the shelf and his natural "Help, I've fallen and I can't get up!" pose that appeared is just perfect.

Unknownone posted:Goddamit. Whereas Chromedome has a special place of hatred in my heart because he represents one of my worst decisions as a child. We had a garage sale and I sold my Darth Vader case filled with Star Wars figures for $20, and used that $20 to buy Chromedome. Also sold a bunch of my G1 Transformers at that garage sale for terrifyingly low amounts.

Toys R Us has a promo code FRIEND20 to get 20% off a bunch of stuff right now, including Transformers. Online the selection is weak but might worth a trip in to see if there is any gems there.

I never really got into the Headmasters, the G1 comic storyline was pretty cool but the toys never really grabbed me. I always laughed at the fact that the "human" heads were bending into positions that would crack their spines.

The G1 comics did a great job of making characters from the cartoon into more prominent roles. Ratchet was the first real "hero" of the books, Shockwave was genuinely terrifying, Blaster was a reluctant leader rather than a hip DJ. They even made Grimlock into less of a caricature of the stupid brute.

Anora posted:I just stumbled upon this on Youtube: I love the commercials for the miscellaneous Transformers junk, like the big wheel that transfroms into a "robot" (A big wheel with a face). Also love the first commercial for Astrotrain. Autobots fighting him and fortunately there happens to be a set of train tracks in the desert for him to make his getaway! Edit - Also love that it's commercial for new unstoppable force by Decepticons or Autobots followed by the new toy to counter that new unstoppable force, followed by the new toy to combat that force!

I was so afraid I'd get negative feedback when I sold the exclusive Mortal Kombat 9 Sub-Zero pre-order DLC skin for $80 and they released a pack with all of the different skins for $5 a few weeks later. I also felt a twinge of guilt. Just a tiny one.

If anyone is in their area, Meijer has Transformers for 25% off right now. I got Chromedome and Weirdwolf for $11.50 each, and there were a few still on pegs. Rochester Hills, Michigan to be exact.

Rhyno posted:LoL, I don't want to get stabbed. There's a TF scalper who will do more than ram me with a shopping cart if he catches me ahead of him. He got arrested for attacking a dude at Ollie's over the Arcee wave closeout. I dunno, this just doesn't seem THAT scalpable. Sure it's $40 vs $150, but they weren't selling at $150. So what's going to be the median price? $100? I guess that's $60 profit. Thank you I just answered my own question.
