Arise new Transformers thread.


And, yes. MTMTE is some of the best TF fiction that's been released in a very long time. The trades are a definite buy.

A few years ago my Mom had ordered me something from TF Source as a Christmas gift. She placed her order mid-November and it still hadn't shipped by the beginning of December. She e-mailed them a few times and they finally responded on the third e-mail when she threatened a charge-back on her credit card. They told her that the shipment was delayed but that she would receive it at the latest a week before Christmas. When the time came, she found out that they had canceled her order without her knowing and never issued a refund. It took until after the New Years to get her refund back from them.

There was also that credit card hack they had a few years back that resulted in people getting fraudulent charges and identity theft.

Reading the TFW sightings boards is depressing. I'm in New Orleans and it seems like all the stores along one particular road had Brainstorms and Motormasters and CW legends and Megatrons only a few days ago. Now it's just a wasteland of AoE leftovers and RiD2015 one step changers.

There's actually a pretty big TF Fan community down here, they sell out quick. Robby Musso got me my MP Soundwave.

So I've only played a little bit of Devastation last night on my 360, and I'm still getting used to the controls. I also keep getting all these weapons, it seems, but I can't figure out how to customize anybody. Do you have to play through the first level as each character before you get to tweak anything?

You have to complete the first chapter to be able to customize and upgrade weapons and stats.

Steve Vader posted:

Also, I saw online that at least a couple of folks besides me had gotten bum preorder codes from Game Stop. Is it common to have a delayed activation date for codes like that for some reason?

I got a bad code from Amazon. I'm going to give it a couple of days to see if it gets sorted out.

I've been organizing my comic collection recently, and I need a little help identifying a signature. I have Regeneration One #80.5, signed by Simon Furman, Stephen Baskerville, Jason Cardy, Andrew Wildman and then there is this fifth signature over on the side that I can't seen to place. Any help? I'm thinking it must be John-Paul Bove, but it doesn't seem to look like any of his other signatures.

So I got my Steelbook copy of TF:TM 30th anniversary edition today.

It's missing the widescreen disc. It just has the fullscreen disc.

Is this being reported any where else? Are there any other people with the same problem or is it just my bad luck?

A little explanation for my post. I bought the MP G2 Bumblebee and Road Rage that he was offering and my G2 BB was missing the whole front half of his head. A factory defect I've never heard of before. strangehamster took care of it immediately and not only sent me the missing parts, but he also threw in these cool little mini Constructicon guys.

Really having a hard time figuring out if I want to pre-order this MP Megatron with orange barrel or try to obtain some other way (a con or something?). I imagine it's going to be hard to come by but I'm worried about them ripping open the packaging and loving with the figure. Am I overreacting? Anyone else already pre-order from BBTS?

e: Also $230 is fuckin steep.

If it's in the U.S., it's going to have the orange plug. When I bought MP5 Megatron from BBTS, they treated the figure with care. They know that collectors are going to be very tough on any damages or imperfections. The glue holding the plug in place was a smaller-than-pea-sized amount of standard hot glue. It took very little effort to remove it.

Basically what Rhyno said, but BBTS does have it. It was a separate pre-order though.

I'm tempted by the new masterpiece Megatron despite the hefty price tag. The downside is that inevitable orange plug- is it easy to remove? I seem to remember bbts or tfsource saying 'removing it will cause damage,' about previous megatron figure/kos but is that something they 'have' to say about it for legalese reasons?

My MP-5 Megatron's plug was held in with a tiny spot of hot glue. Did no damage to remove it.

I got my secret santa gift in the mail today and I loved it. I was on the fence about Alpha Trion but I love my oddly purple and pink Unicorn/Lion thing. He stands out from the rest of my animal Transformers and looks great, plus that sword is great.

You nailed it with that unique metal 3D figure, I have never seen those before and they are incredible looking. I like toys that make me sit and work for something and the detail is wonderful. I have a feeling I'm going to end up buying a few more in the future.

Thanks again mystery goon, this is my 4th secret santa exchange and it was amazing again.

Glad you like it! This was my first Secret Santa, so I'm glad it was stuff you like. The Metal Earth figure isn't that bad. Take your time with it and maybe watch some videos to familiarize yourself with them. You'll need some decent needlenose pliers, though.

Hey the guy from Semisonic I am loving my Metal Earth Megotron, I have the entire lower legs assembled and I am having such a blast with this kit. I have only had to reconstruct one part with hot glue due to bad instructions and my own dumb fault. Thanks again for the great gift.

I won $100 gift card to Walmart at my holiday party so I am going to use a chunk of it to buy all the Metal Earth Transformer kits for a upcoming trip.

I had a pretty decent mix of G1 and Gobots when I was little. I didn't care that they weren't "real" transformers and I just randomly assigned each dude to either Autobots or Decepticons since I didn't know who was supposed to be good or bad. Every single one of the Gobots broke.
