Though I like having my Armada Megs be my Energon Optimus' arch nemesis since these are the only versions of the characters I have from that Japanese continuity.

I approve of the intruder in that photo.

What's Animated Leader Megatron like in hand? All the reviews are really old, and don't go into as much detail as they do nowadays.

You mean the leader?. He's great. Tight joints, a simple but fun transformation, great looking, and he's a great hommage to the G1 original. His only true fault is that it absolutly need the big cannon in copter mode because part of the hull is part of the detachable canon. Also, don't lode the swords because these are his propellers. If you are a Megs fan, you MUST own this figure.

However, avoid the voyager. He's bland as hell and his altmode is a big pile of nothing where you can know the difference between his front and rear in vehicle mode.

See, my opinion was always informed by this review:

Today was a very good day, came home from a car boot sale with BW Depth Charge, Transmetals Waspinator, Beast Machines Air Drones (a pair), G1 Blot, G1 Overdrive? (it's the guy who replaced wildrider on the nwe Menasor, G1 Yellow constructicons and lastly, a complete, with box and instructions, RiD Optimus Prime! Not bad since I spent just under a tenner.

That's nuts (especially for RID Prime!). I thought I was gonna make people jealous but you beat me to it.
I got this lot today with Henkei Skywarp, RTS Megatron, new in box AOE Voyager Grimlock and (random) Marvel Select Sabretooth for 35$

Today, I receive my scrap!

Lots of interesting junk in there. There will be a lots of abobinations to create soon!
There is also a few almost perfect bots in there. A G2 small plane that inly miss the usual weapon arm, a Armada Cyclonus, a basic BW Bettle, a MCDonald BW Bettle, A G2 Megatron... Well, that last one was almost perfect until I tried to turn his head. HIS HEAD DONT TURN. Instead, there's a extremely fragile joint at the base of Megatron's neck, that panel joint, who will just snap. Fawk me... Oh yeah, there's also a scrap Energon Hotshot... WITH HIS ROOF! HIS ROOF! So, my roofless Energon Hotshot is finally complete!

This lot os scrap give me new ideas and will also help my current projects!

Scored an MP Prowl at a TRU in Livonia, MI today!

Animated Leader is phenominal. What impresses me is how simple but effective the design is. His transformation is very easy and simple but both modes look very distinct. Since it uses almost every part of the toy for both modes you end up with very sleek modes which dont appear to be able to transform. And he is very robust in our hands, and hefty while not being heavy at all. He is very tight too, meaning that you can pose him without having to worry about him falling over or not keeping a pose.

Also, this is the only video that matters to me on youtube concerning Animated Leader Megs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMgsm_frjFg

Oh and since this is a toy haul thread, here are recent arrivals.

I got my Armada Megs slightly refurbished, so I will post him here since I never posted him before. I also got Animated Arcee and Deep Desert Brawl. War of the Tanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Picked up the last AoE High Octane Bumblebee at a hobby store.

Like DOTM deluxe Bee, it should look much better with a coat of silver paint on the appropriate parts.

I finally received my BotCon Ginrai. And he is glorious. I can't believe I haven't gotten this mold before.

A guy had an add for a lot of junk but I am so curious about this stuff that I took public transport for an hour away from town to see what it was. Turns out it was mostly junk but my curiosity has been fed and I have a friend who always takes what I dont need to make customs (he knows who he is) and I didnt pay much at all for this, so all is well.

Who's that friend of yours that make custom? Sound like an extraordinary guy!

Also, is that a grey Animated Jazz, or does my eyes deceive me?

-Kanrabat- wrote:Also, is that a grey Animated Jazz, or does my eyes deceive me?

Yes, that's a gray Jazz, labeled "Freeway Jazz" on the box, but there's no difference in the mold itself, other than color, and the absence of the Elite Guard insignia.

Yup, the grey one, is he any special?

got my SDCC Dinobots set in the mail today , that pop up playset is awesome, but needed some tape here and there

AOE voyager Galvatron.

I'm actually a couple days late for this post (once again).

Thursday was my birthday, so my mother and I went birthday shopping, since we aren't doing so well financially. We initially hoped to find something at Toys "R" Us, and of course, all the good stuff was gone.

Afterwards, stopped by Target. They had a couple Doubledealers, and since I was in need of Decepticon Voyagers, decided to bite on him. So far, he's the only birthday gift I've gotten. Mom said that once finances are more stable, we'll get other stuff (she also owes me $175 in graduation money, but can't pay due to said financial instability).

Dude, it was my birthday party today and you know whch transformer I got: Generations Double Dealer!!!!!!!!! Crazy awesome coincidence

I have got a couple of Transformers lately.

Firstly I got ROTF Cannon Bumblebee.



And yesterday Evasion Mode Optimus Prime arrived






I really do think this is the best Prime we have had in a long time. And it is certainly better then any other AOE Prime we have got for the movie line. Just my opinion of course.

Today was a good day. I was able to trade in an Animated Freeway Jazz (no chuks) and a ROTF Swerve. Also, a bought a 100% complete RiD Bulkhead for just 12$ (will trade it for someone) and a Universe (classic) deluxe Octane for only 7$. Octane is a **** mold, but meh, at least I have it.

The crown of the haul is... Henkei Inferno, sealed and mint in box, for only... 40$ no shipping!

I have them all! Hasbro Inferno, Grappel, GDO Hotspot, Botcon something, and MilPub Artfire. All open and on display. The only one missing is United Grappel. I'm debating if I should open Henkei Inferno or not. I can enjoy the mold plenty and the Henkei box is small and neat. There's also that value thing. However, a boxed TF just look a bit out of place with my open ones.

Also, that weapon set look very interesting. I dunno who will get it, but it will add a bit of veriety in my collection.

Also, yeah, I will buy that upcoming voyager 2pack featuring the Grappel repaint as Red Hotspot.

ohhh totally open the henkei inferno! the red is so much nicer than hasbros was. i have the GDO hotspot and united grapple (both awesome) and want the botcon G2 inferno. but the upcoming red hotspot is so bleh to me... itd make more sense if they called him ironhide lol.

but totally go for the GOW set. heres my artfire and inferno with the gears of war add ons!

Know what? I'll get the set, but for my Hasbro Inferno. I'll also open my Henkei one. This way, it will totally be two different character and it make no freaking senses to have a sealed dude among open ones. I'm an oppenner anyway.

BTW' I'm so stoked for the upcoming Grappel repaint. It'a the first repaint of the Grappel remold ever and it actually come with a neat copter.

Check out this awesome lot I got today and yesterday !
