Oops my bad. He looks so yellow and small in that pic.

Yeah, my camera isn't the best for capturing colour well. And Hunt For The Deceopticons Lockdown is MASSIVE for a deluxe-sized figure. Well, more tall and lanky than massive, but he's pretty big.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!


Not TF-related, but wanted to share (there isn't a Halloween thread):

[Cyberpath]

This ain't no clown car, and these guys mean business.

[william-james88]

Having some fun with Power Core Combiners. You cans see the rest in my Collection Thread

[Noideaforaname]

PCCs? Time for me and Va'al and probably some others to dig out all their photos!
... although I feel like we've done that a bunch of times already.

[william-james88]

I am really late but I couldnt resist:

Happy Halloween!

[Nemesis Destron]

Seeing william-james88 post made me think...in a bizzaro world TRU, Target, and Walmart would all give out shelf-warmers instead of candy to all the kiddy's on Halloween.

Time for some new ones, then..?

Have an old but recent one: Drone Fitting!

[Noideaforaname]

I think Bombshock's the only one I have out and ready for new photos:


This one's old, but I still adore it:


I'm not sure if I posted this:


... and for some reason there's a "little guy riding a PCC figure" theme going on.

Pulled him out of storage to do a review. Maybe I should have gone over him with a cloth to get rid of that dust. Oh well. I still love the little adorable Scorponok with him!

Pic from my Twitter review!

I also did this, because this shot hasn't been done to death.

This was all in regards to my birthday haul posted over in the Toy Haul Thread.
william-james88 suggested I post it over here

Happy birthday to ME!!!
You know you've married the right woman when she and her family get you exactly what you want for your birthday.

Happy B-Day to you! You are one lucky basterd to have found a wife who don't hate your hobbies.
I have the Seacons reissue and while it's quite nice, it's not perfect. I paid it only 50$ for it back then. I know Platinum Predaking (reissue of the G1 combiner) cost a fortune, like 100/150$. For that price, I wonder if it will be af superior quality than the Seacons?

Do I hear a CHALLANGE?

Stay tuned to find out...


Thanks for the B-day wishes fellas.

Finally have to time to start on Quantron

So I just bought a 3 pack of Transformers Prime Kinder Surprise eggs! They're horrendous, and that's not a word I use often. Their hilarity keeps me from thinking that I've wasted my money though! XD

Picture is from my twitter review!

Horrendously hilarious, indeed.
Glad you see the humor in them.

You should instead be lucky you have them. You can get fined 2,500$ per egg in the states if any official finds you in possession of one. These are banned by the FDA and are still banned after the recent revisions of 2012. There was a petition but the pettion didnt gather enough names.

I bet that fuels all kinds of "stereotypical fat idiot American" jokes.

Since when have stereotypes ever needed a lot of fueling?

All right folks. we have a WINNER!


To answer your question Kanrabat.
He is far superior in quality to the Seacons.
My brother had these guys when we were kids. This reissue is exactly like the OG. Beautiful in all his imperfections. Like his PREDecessor, His shoulders are dangly, his hips are loosey goosey, and he weighs 20 lbs.
The stock photos don't do him justice and made me a bit skeptical, but now that he is all sticker-ed up he's a real beaut. Most the plastic has a real cool subtle metallic flake, and he is die-cast in all the right places.

If you've never seen him with your own eyes, he is GINORMOUS!

Each Pred is a smidge taller than MP Wheeljack in robot mode. (wat up Treebeard!)

Is he worth $130? Maybe not. He is on sale at BBTS for $99.99, but I got a feeling he is not moving fast. I bet we'll see the price drop some more the closer we get to the holidays. Especially Black Friday or Cyber Tuesday, or what ever else they call it.
If you want an awesome piece of G1 cake, take a bite of this guy.
For me it's nostalgia, and I still think he is AWESOME!

I just noticed something, his sword is a bigger version of the one that comes with BH commander class Bludgeon. And he looks great, so thanks for posting. He might be the first G1 I buy.

EDIT:

Of course, if Hasbro upgrades him for combiner wars, thats the version I will get instead.

It is, in fact, just a golden version of Voyager Prime's Star Saber.

Correct.

Guys, I had a thought.
I was reading in a thread some where, some speculation about ComWars. We have a confirmed number of Voyagers right? So far we know 3 of them? There was a lot of talk how there are more Con combiners than bots, and how would Hasbro level the field.
What if the missing bot set is, wait for it...

Dinobots. All the 3rd parties are doing it. Hasbro is riding the wave of dino-madness. They've never given us Classic/Gen dinos. It would be the perfect high hard one to the 3rdsies.

Just a thought.

That would be interesting, they never did specify that the deluxes are all parts of a combiner, so it could be dinobots. They could go up against Devastator (it HAS to be him). They already did make a deluxe classics Grimlock figure before, along with the recent generations voyager Grmlock so I wonder the route they would take with their designs. We know takara is bringing back the animated dinobots for their 2015 deluxes.
What I worry about most though is that because the movie figures were under the generations line, those may all we get for classics dinobots, with the evolution packs cementing that idea. I hope its not though.

I cant wait for the eventual announcement of those deluxes, here's hoping its before Botcon 2015.

[Cobotron]

Devastator (it HAS to be him).

It will.

I feel like it's all in IDW's hands.

Really? Cool. I didn't get any of them. I liked Snarl.
