GRIMLOCK: Me, Grimlock need new body. Feel body smaller than should feel. Not know why..

RATCHET: Well, yeah, I thought we built you larger than this too. What do you think Wheeljack?

WHEELJACK: It could be the materials we used not being exactly to Teletraan's specs, wanna give it another go?

RATCHET: Sure, Sparkplug can take care of any minor repairs anyone needs.

RATCHET: So how does that feel Grimlock?

GRIMLOCK: ME GRIMLOCK MUCH MORE GOODER!!

WHEELJACK: I think I kept his memory modules the same size.. di-a-bolical..

Much more gooder, indeed!

He looks awesome! The silver is so silvery. Does feel good, quality wise?

News Credits: 15 · by **galvatron00** » Sat May 07, 2016 5:09 pm

Yes to all of the above! It a different finish feel (as it is painted) but the plastic has the same denseness. Joints are super tight and ratchetey, so far he's totally worth it :-D

Reximus looks nice, I has the wants.

And I now have a new wallpaper :lol:

News Credits: 293 · by **shajaki** » Sun May 08, 2016 10:44 am

He looks absolutely gorgeous. He's like a mix between MP08 and MP08X. Silver and richer gold minus the comic blue plastic....

Cram, your shenanigans lately have been simultaneously making love and hate you. First Freeway, now tempting me on this and a SLEW of 3P MP Dinobots. I don't have the monies right now Cram! :-(

Anyways, hows the QC on Rex?

News Credits: 15 · by **galvatron00** » Sun May 08, 2016 11:08 am

He is SUPER nice Cary! I honestly can't believe it's a "KO", and I mean they had to upsize it and everything from the original design, but it's not the same so it's it really a KO or just a non-original remanufacturing of the original? :-?

He really is awesome Shaj, I'm not sure I was ready for how awesome. He does have the chrome gold everywhere 8X does and the AWESOME silver, but I think it's closer to the gold on the standard Grimlock as far as color. I feel the 8X has saturated colors more so than this. And he checks off all the boxes for me: metallic silver, black/red/regular gold, upsized! I have the adapters for the KFC Delta Magnus articulated hands, so once those get here he'll be pretty dang perfect. And now I HAVE THE DINOBOT WANTS! DID YOU SEE HIM WITH RATCHET AND WHEELJACK?!

DID YOU?!

Also, Freeway.

QC = as good as any of the MPs I already have, and better than Apollyon. Plastic is sturdy, no blemishes on the chrome, paint doesn't seem to flake, tail/head gimmick works, TIGHT joints, smooth ratchets. If Apollyon was THIS good I'd have more Third Party stuff! They even greased the plastic using bushing grease on the ratchets! You know what I mean, the same grease you use on urethane bushings and stuff for suspension components in your car. It's awesome stuff and stays where it is supposed to!

Clue the clueless in, plz.

So bigguns ko grim is reximus prime?

And who is this freeway?

I'm having a hard time finding them online. I just want to get an eyeful of goodness.

News Credits: 41 · by **Cobotron** » Sun May 08, 2016 12:07 pm

Yes. Who is this Freeway of whom you speakith?

News Credits: 15 · by **galvatron00** » Sun May 08, 2016 12:46 pm

Yes, Reximus Prime is the oversized MP08 Grimlock.

Freeway is a G1 Throttlebot. He may be the bane of Shaj's existence.

I did see that. He looks amazing with the other MP's. But choosing which company to go with for the rest of the Dino's is quite intimidating :shock:

I'm thinking GigaPower, at this point I'm trying to avoid FANSTOYS as I think they will be too small comparatively..

I may be in the minority here, but I truly do not care about MP Inferno (or the Alert+) and I'm disappointed that the design time wasn't used towards a NEW MP Megatron OR Galvatron. I have no attachment to Inferno. I want Megatron. And Galvatron. Yesterday.
[/rant]

Also, I have no clue what I'm going to do with my display now. I really need to clean things up. Thank goodness I don't actually have MP Star Saber (although I have the wants) as 3 giant Autobots would be too much for my tiny Autobot shelf!

Same here, I don't care about Inferno. Maybe Grapple because I owned the G1. But yeah, when they made Magnus and a new Hotrod I thought it was the beginning of them sprinkling some sweet TFTM figures in between the S1-2 cast. The one I want the most at the moment is probably........

Well... Dinobot. But that's only because of all the BW/Cheetor talk :lol:

But back to G1, Galvatron closely followed by Cyclonus.
But then a question remains: how would they scale Galvy? With MP09/MP10 or with the new Rod MP28? :-?

News Credits: 15 · by **galvatron00** » Tue May 10, 2016 12:43 pm

MP Beast Wars Dinobot? Just use the original, it's the same :lol:

I guess I really don't have any attachment to anyone in G1 Season 2 and thought we'd get some better things from Takara due to TF:TM's 30th. BUT, did TF:TM come out in Japan in 1986? Or was it 1987? And maybe I thought we'd get official responses to some of the 3rd party figures out there (like we did with Shockwave, and Magnus, and the vans). So that means: Insecticons, Reflector, Hound, Sunstreaker, Galvatron, Dinobots, and Inferno/Grapple..which of THOSE would you want official of over Inferno?!

REGARDLESS!!

Freeway.

I'ma just have Burn change your name to Freeway :lol:

I've no idea when TFTM came to Japan, but they've already kinda shown the Movie some love with MP28 Hotrod and Legends Springer.

And you suddenly made me picture Masterpiece Throttlebots. If I'm still alive when they start scraping the bottom of the barrel like that, I'm sure I'll be ranting and hitting my monitor with my cane :lol:

[/quote]I'm not a rapper from Philly, so Freeway doesn't work :lol:

IMDB has the release date in Japan as August 9th 1989?! What?!

Speaking of the way of freeness..I vaguely remember you mentioning getting the ToyWorld Throttlebots. Or am I imagining things? They were sorta important in Season 3 and Headmasters..right?!

Speaking of ToyWorld..I'm finding myself very interested in some ToyWorld items, mostly Infinitor but probably Orion too. Let's put it this way, if I did end up with Orion and his head upgrade I'd be selling 5-10 more Optimus Primes :lol:

I mention Infinitor as I have NO Fortress Maximi (lame, I know), and I'm obviously getting Fortress Maximus from Titans Returns ('cause robots) but I'm not sure I want to pick him up AND THEN the upgrade set for him just to have TWO representations. I really wouldn't mind a Fortress figure in MP scale (I have a feeling Warden may be mentioned..) but I don't think Infinitor really represents Fortress as much as Fortress Maximus. Although it has been mentioned he would work great as a Marvel Comics representation, so that would kinda be neat with the other G1 HeadTitan Masters this year..

Can I jump in the don't care about MP Inferno boat? I'm a little late so I brought sandwiches ;)^

I think I saw something about what MP would you like to see that isn't a thing yet :-?

Jazz, of course :-P

News Credits: 41 · by **Cobotron** » Tue May 10, 2016 8:35 pm

I sorta care about Inferno, but maybe Grapple more.
But I'm on MP strike for a while anywho.

What I would rather see is...
Jazz, Mirage, Megatron, Insecticons, Reflector

Peace!
