Don't we all. I called my first 3 legion vehicons Steve, Stephen, and Limpy Stee (that boy has a problems keeping one of his legs attached!).

I only have a Vehicon and a Jet Vehicon, one bought in Norwich, one in Italy.
The obvious names are Steve and Mario.
The Cyberverse ones are Kenny and Roger- two people.

I've got one Vehicon. He's plenty enough awesome. I wouldn't mind a Jet Vehicon at some point but not after it enough to pay full import price on it.

It's a nice addition, I agree. Kenny and Roger were bought as I was hunting for Steve and got frustrated about not finding him.

Because you can do this, and it makes it all better:

wow, Swerve was right. "put two decepticons alone in a room and within minutes they'll be standing on each other's shoulders trying to combine"

I'm jealous. My Vehicons seem to have formed a slightly camp Dance Troupe

Yes. Yes he was.

Thanks to the kindness of mother bear I'm better off to the tune of a PRiD Vehicon and Kreo Jazz (mainly for the Kreon of course). I also splashed out a whole £2 for CV Fallback/Outback since that was the last of the repaint wave I needed, shelf tag said £2.99 but it went through the till cheaper. In total we went around 3 Home Bargains and 1 B&M. Stock was a bit mixed between the HB branches, one had PRiD deluxes and voyagers (same case assortments already reported), another just voyagers and the last one no PRiD but a handful of DotM leaders at £24.99 and Kreo Jazz at £3.99. B&M had the usual DotM leftovers, Botshots and Kreo they've had for a while although they seem to be sold out of the Ark now. They are also starting to get some Prime as well. Voyagers (Op, Bulkhead, Dreadwing) at £12.99, legion (repaint wave) at £2.99, Op battlesuit at £24.99 and 'Bee battlesuit at £14.99. No sign of any PRiD deluxe or the CV vehicles I was hoping they'd get in.

Oh, and since I've got plenty of leftover parts from the combiner sets I've given my Jazz and Mirage Kreons some wheels on their legs.

Ahhh two of my favourite things in a cross over

Bugger, just realised there is an entire thread about that. Sigh, that's what I get for working for 34 hours over the weekend then sleeping all day Monday.

Back to bed for me.

On another note, any one ordered the European region encoded Blu-ray of Transformers Prime from Amazon Germany? It has both English and German audio, was just wondering if any one had it yet and if its any good.

Pity we wont be getting it in the UK, but its a decent alternative don't you think.

*in proper pirate style* Gyaaaarrrgh!!

Why hasnt any UK distributor picked up Transformers Prime for release on Blu-ray? I just dont get it!
I have had to resort to some dodgy downloads to get my HD fix!!
Come on U.K. get with the program!!

Is that the whole 1st season? How much did that set you back?

Just won the 3rd E(vil)bay auction of the weekend, which means I now have Armada Prime, Armada Jetfire and Energon Ultra Magnus to look forward to being delviered over the next week, and all for the total of £61!

Not a bad haul! Is that inclusive of shipping? I still want to get my hands on an original RID Ultra Magnus to combine with Prime!

I'd sell you mine, but I don't wanna. Seriously, Omega Prime is bloody fantastic, and that Magnus on his own is awesome in plastic form. Hope you get one soon because you'll love it!

ThunderThruster: that's a nice haul. Especially for the price, as that Energon Magnus usually goes for quite a bit. I have the Powerlinx repaints of Prime and Jeftire, and the whole thing combined with Magnus is one of the sweetest looking bricks ever. You can stick about a thousand Minicons on them as well to really amp up the armaments. If you don't already have them get the Emergency Team, the police car is a decent rifle, the chopper becomes a dual gatling gun and the fire truck is an awesome missile pod thing!

Oh dear...
But yes, I thought that was a galvatron but I wasn't sure enough (as I didn't pause it, watched it live) to start announcing at and risk being ridiculed when it turned out to be something completely different.
Interesting that its sitting there in decent (?) condition in a random house in 2013, though

You lucky little son of a gun-armada OverJetPrime, as I've dubbed him, is possibly, in my eyes, one of the most beautiful, glorious bricks you will ever own in your life.
(Well, I say that-he does have some articulation, but nothing wonderful)

soon as he came on screen I got a big grin then shouted on twitter that Galvatron was on Doctor Who!

Definitely curious that he was just sitting about there though. The kids are far too young to have had him. Maybe he was Clara's? Or it was a nice little nod from one time travelling alien to another.

I'm partial to those bricks. I've got a regular and PL Prime for their small robot modes, another regular for super mode, Sam's Club black and yellow Prime/Overload combination, TRU Japan Magna Convoy DX Final Battle Convoy and Crystal Magnus combined with PL Jetfire pants, regular Jetfire, Club Astrotrain, Overload and Energon Magnus. Not counting lucky draws I think I'm only missing ML Convoy, ML Magnus, Botcon Sentinel Maximus and the slight Jetfire repaint from the 2 pack with Prime. I don't have a specific combo for just Jetfire and Prime so I figure that repaint with the regular Prime and replace that super mode with the anime coloured Japanese version and I'll be up to about the perfect set.

It is indeed £61 including shipping. I also found out the other day that (while not as spectacular) the Overload mold can combine with just primes trailer in leg mode or Jetfire in leg mode.

This thread is detrimental to everything, really.

I've always wanted RiD Omega Prime, but can't seem to find the two figures at a decent price.

This I've yet to see?
Although what you can do, iirc, is flip out jetfire's arms and have him hold his rifle and all three of the minicon weapons. looks daft but 10-year-old me always thought it was dumb that there were three weapons but nobody could ever hold all of them to show their true power

double post

Well, I'll be blowed if that doesn't actually work relatively well.
Emphasis on the relatively.
