Yes, yes you do.

And it's a functional tool too! It's justified as an alarm clock!
You can set the alarm to tell you when it's SAKI TIME!!!!

It's sake for phucks sake!

Congrats on Heinrad, D-Max! Definitely a sweet score, and I am SURE everyone would appreciate him in their collection.

I always try and include him whenever possible -- he's my spirit Maximal.

Absolutely loving him!

Do you plan to use him as a clock? I assume mine works, but he's just permanently set to 4:20.....!

While hunting for Siege Shockwave, I found ultra class Slipstream instead -- I like her.

Oh yeah, he has a battery in him and the alarm is set and has successfully gone off!

That Slipstream face tho. I hope to find her, if I see her in stores I think I'll get her

I may have to test out the alarm some day! I'm glad you're having fun with him.

I had seen random pics of ultra Slipstream on the Net, but was still very surprised to see her -- she may be shortpacked, as it seems like it was 4:1 on the shelf (with Shadow Striker & Shockwave, iirc). I hope you have some luck -- it was at Target this afternoon when I picked her up.

I scored one of my childhood wants today: G1 Metroplex (incomplete -- missing about 50% of his accessories lol) for $40. He needs a cleaning, but I'm lovin' him.

Can you believe this is my first and only incarnation of the original Citybot?!?

Oh nice find! At the shop I worked at, there was a Metroplex (again sans a lot of accessories and suffered some yellowing) but was £15

Looks to be in pretty excellent shape too ;)^

No cracks or yellowing, fortunately -- a wipe down was all he needed

Love is not based on looks my friend

Does Slipstream have knees?

Nice Metroplex! That silver face is niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

That's right, D-Max! Love is blind -- it especially helps if you wanna love dem G2 Transformers

DAT FACE is glorious on Metroplex -- I was fortunate the guy had 3 of him, and was willing to discount this incomplete, uncleaned version. I was happy he had chrome and rubber wheels, as well as his fists!

Slipstream unfortunately foes not have knees -- but she'd never need to bow down on them anyway. And she kicks high!

Love is in deed blind...but bm silver bolt is still inferior to bw silver bolt

LMFAO! I think there's a BotBot that's got that cone covered! :lol:

I had no idea until looking into G1 Metroplex's parts, Cary -- apparently he was "revised" later to have plastic wheels and silver stickers for his legs (instead of the actual chrome).

What do you guys think of the upcoming Commander class Skyfire? He (and Springer!) look cartoon perfect. I am the most excited for him, due to size, design and dat doublespy potential (!)....but I still love the Generations incarnation, too.

I'm not fussed on the changing side gimmick as he's not exactly a con long enough and his personality is just a poor fit for them but I do love the look of the figure and can't wait to see how he interacts with the deluxes
