Any interest or thoughts on those notions? ... seeker combiner? Drill limb for Protectobots?


I could see a Brawl mold being retooled into Nosecone rather than a drill limb for the protectobots. First Aid is too popular a character in IDW to be left out.

Darkwing is a really interesting idea though, because I was looking at Voyager Brainstorm last night and thinking how awesome/Simple it would be to retool/repaint him into Dreadwind. There's a lot of potential in that mould.

I don't think Silverbolt's CW altmode would look that great on Darkwing though. He's always been a beefier fighter jet to me.

It's a little disappointing that Silverbolt has incomplete wings in robot mode. And I wonder if the tail between the legs is mistransformed. Will wait to see if Takara does a more show-accurate deco. Mainly it's the shoulders, chest and knees. He's already pretty close, might as well go all the way. :)

Powerglide is the best of the bunch, looking forward to getting him.

I wouldn't wait for takara personally. It won't be too much hassle for reprolabels to cover the few parts that are off colour model. I prefer the gold/orange colour to the ghastly lemon yellow on the show model.

I don't like stickers though. It's not about the shade of yellow so much as the black shoulder guards and other details. Takara's generally the cheaper option for me, so it works out.

Hadn't thought of the Brawl retool idea, MemphisR56. I bet that's right on the money. As for the Darkwing idea, I think the fandom has already softened up to the idea with the earlier classics repaint/retool. I think a seeker box set like that would have to be a store exclusive or something, since it's a bit odd idea.

The way they're putting these out split over waves really pisses me off. That bullshit is why I was never able to complete 2 of the 3 Energon combiners. So I spend a bunch of money up front to start a combiner hoping that the next wave is actually easy to find, or I don't and when the parts to finish come out, oh hey, can't find the older ones anymore.

I miss the 80's, when these things could still be found on the shelves for like a year or two instead of just one or two short waves then vanish, other than overshipped pegwarmers.

There is a lack of instant gratification though. It's so great to find those pieces you want in the wild instead of just buying on the endless web.

That said I waited and waited to find Gen Cosmos and Swerve, only to come to the conclusion I wouldn't find them. So I just recently bought them online(BBTS). Awesome, piece of mind , right? Well this past Saturday I decided to hit up the local TRU, cause they were having hella sale. Lo and behold a cache of those guys, and with a buy one get one 40% off. DOH!

But you never know what you'll find and where. Gas might be way higher than it was 15 years ago, sure. But I'm not ready to give up driving twenty minutes to the local TRU just cause I can get whatever I want online. It just takes some of the fun out of the hobby, for me.

CASH RIFLE! :lol:

Come to think of it. During Beast Wars, I was in Chicago with no car. Urban safari. I had a whole route that employed buses, trains, and a lot of walking. Man I had some energy, and a concealed cash pistol in my sock. Because Cracky was lurking around every corner.

Slag that! I don't miss it. Weird people, late buses. And in Cedar Rapids the buses stop running at around 6, so you gotta really be on your game. If you miss a bus it's gonna be like an hour to an hour and a half for the next one.
Bigger cities are different, buses run more frequently, but out here public transit is dreadful.

And Cracky.. yeah..watch out for him! Chicago is the best for him, he wants money for opening your cab door, and if he doesn't get it..

I went to the Times Square TRU today to check out those Platinum Editions. I'll probably end up getting the Leader 2-pack from BBTS or HTS, but I'll pass on that FE Prime w/ Trailer + Sideswipe. It just looks... not good. At any rate, TRU in general (and Times Square specifically) is tough with exclusives, because it's much harder to get a price match on those products.

I totally brought Metroplex home on a NYC bus! He took up two whole bus seats.

Unfortunately, the bus is the only real way to get to and from the Manhattan CostCo.

Oh man, just remebered. When I saw those photos of the AOE TRU Platinums from NYC store, the first thing I thought was, thats gonna suck on the subway! :lol:

I went to the Times Square TRU today to check out those Platinum Editions. I'll probably end up getting the Leader 2-pack from BBTS or HTS, but I'll pass on that FE Prime w/ Trailer + Sideswipe. It just looks... not good. At any rate, TRU in general (and Times Square specifically) is tough with exclusives, because it's much harder to get a price match on those products.

And you might get mugged on your way out.

mega-t? Is that 2-pack translucent? or just metalic-ish?
