Thanks Cobo! It was all about the Decepticons -- but what else is new?

Awesome find!! Didn't find any at 3 Targets over the weekend.

I bet over the next few weeks you'll see 'em Crammy, but they do go fast! Only wave1 remains on the shelves again....

I'm loving SG Rodi, but his legs are kinda loose and his arms are limited for poseability -- but the colors look AWESOME :SG-BOTS:

: Will anyone else attempt to fill his shoes?

: Come out, Autobot! We all must die sometime.

Ooooooooooooh datsa nicea pictures!! Awesome stuff Bodrock!!

News Credits: 3 · by **bodrock** » Fri Aug 03, 2018 1:23 am

Thanks Crammy! I was originally just going to take pics of Rodi Vs Nemesis Prime

: Rodi Vs Convoy

....but I just had to include Galvatron.

I'm loving Bludgeon! He certainly did not disappoint as a Prime Master.

I took more pics of the Prime Masters in their weapon modes. At first, I was a bit disappointed most of the CONs became melee weapons rather than hand cannons.

: PRETENDER Pandemonium

: Glub.

But Alchemist Prime and Megatronus look great in Octopunch and Bludgeon's hands.

So I went nuts....

: Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

: I want my two dollars!

It wasn't a good deal. But after losing the last one, I'm just glad SIXTRAIN's complete!

: Oops, I did it again.

And I had to get the rest of the Hot Rod Patrol.

Good stuff Bodrock!! I think I’ll attempt to complete my Micromasters that I’m missing as well.

News Credits: 3 · by **bodrock** » Sat Aug 04, 2018 1:30 pm

Accessories are one thing, but squads & patrols? GOTTA CATCH EM ALL LOL

But tbqh, it will really be a MicroQuest for me -- I really wanted Sixtrain and the Hot Rod Patrol (GET!)....but if there's one more I'd actively hunt for, it's the Micromaster Cannon Transport team. I'm not willing to spend $60+ though :p

My god. That is the 90's at it's best :lol:

What'r the prices like for vintage Micromasters?

News Credits: 3 · by **bodrock** » Sat Aug 04, 2018 10:26 pm

Hey Shaj! The Micromasters go for about $4-6 individually, or double that if they're on eBay.

But like Beast Wars, deals can still be found -- I scored the Monster Truck Patrol for $15, while the Astro Squad set me back $28.

Big Daddy was $6, and I got the rest of the crew for $20, making it $26 for the Hot Rod Patrol -- but on eBay they come complete for $40+.

: Greaser, Hubs & Trip-Up

I ultimately paid $70 for Sixtrain. If I didn't want them so bad, I would rather have paid $45-50.

Speaking of pricing and the Hunt, Pretenders are no longer reasonably priced -- they've all more than doubled in price!

I blame the Prime Masters.

: A League of His Own!

Got some goodies this week!

And I finally upgraded Mazinga!

I also imagined a meeting of the Megatrons....

: The Deceptidrop!

: The Deceptichomp!

Holy shirt you got Throne of Death Primal!! I can't WAIT to attempt to get him maybe!!

Also, hilarious Megatron meet up!!

News Credits: 3 · by **bodrock** » Fri Aug 10, 2018 3:45 pm

Thank you, Crammy!

I'm lucky my sis had someone willing to wait in line at SDCC for me! If I had known about Bee's garage mixtapes beforehand, I might've asked for that too. But I'm perfectly happy to finally have an incarnation of the new Optimal -- I love the JP anime colors they used.

Upon seeing him in-hand, I had to take pics...

: Longrack's Got Reach

: It looks good on you, Optimal.

: Master Chief Maximal

: Hopefully not TRUKK

: All Hail Megahead Megatron!

Thanks again to Wingz for Longrack! :MAXIMAL:

: Get on da mic, beast.

Ugh, I cannot wait to get a hold of Primal. Nice shots! And I love the movie references :lol:

Thanks guys! I still want to spend more time with SG Rodi, and have some plans for the trainbots....

Game of Primals?! Nice! Is the crown part of his head or removable?

News Credits: 3 · by **bodrock** » Fri Aug 10, 2018 11:28 pm

I only tried very briefly to take it off, but it didn't budge like CW Starscream's crown. I might look in the instructions tonight just to be sure, but I just pretended Longrack did the honors.

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Sat Aug 11, 2018 12:14 pm

According to in hand images and reviews I've seen, the crown does come off

News Credits: 3 · by **bodrock** » Sun Aug 12, 2018 3:57 am

I think so too, D-Max! I just can't bring myself to pry the crown off :p

The Hot Rod Patrol were reunited today.

I hope to feel your struggle next week bod! All things hoping, I pray to have a Throne, and minus a Blackarachnia that will complete my Maximals! Still need to hunt down an Inferno and Quickstrike to finish off the preds along with MP Megs, but we're slowly closing in!

And dang, that hot rod patrol looks so slick!
