You damn 'Mericans! I think we've been really close behind, even ahead at some points (Sixshot anyone?) but I have a feeling we're going to be months before we see those Voyagers.

I'm more interested in your thoughts of Octane though, and now wearing the skin he's supposed to have that maybe the mold will fool me into liking it more :lol:

And it will be a year before we see that Blurr. We still never got Bisk, Springload, Grounbuster or Starscream.

Basically, we are still at wave 7 in Canada and you yanks are at wave 11 (Blurr's Wave).

Uhhh....

I assume some of those are 1-Steps which I never notice. But I've seen the Bisk Wave locally :-?

I was talking about legions, as seen in Cobotron's post. we have had no rid legions since wave 7. We still never got Bisk, Springload, Grounbuster or Starscream.

Ahh yes. You are correct sir. I completely forgot about those, and I'd have grabbed a Starscream too

Man, cobo is on wave 5 and I finally saw my first Sixshot yesterday!

Let me know what you think about Octane. that is the voyager from wave 5 I intend to get

News Credits: 3 · Mon May 15, 2017 5:58 pm

Mr. Cobo, I have now embraced the name you have bestowed upon me.

Thank you, and you are welcome.

Also, that Blurr looks great as a figure, but puts me off as Blurr. He could make a good toy for customizing.

Skywarp looks beautiful.

That Windblade looks good to me except for her weird mask. It looks too Mad Max for her.

Also, BLITZY AND OCTANE YOS!

Got the Hasbro Astro handy for color comparison? Tired of seeing the Takara one with these guys instead! :-x

Also Roadburn with a new head could make for a great Cliffjumper. Colors match pretty darn well.

I saw a recent post with this name, and honestly couldn't remember if you'd changed back or just rolled with it from the get go.

You're welcome, and you are welcome. :lol:

You had me confused for a minute. I was all, I don't have Windblade, and only Legion Blurr. Then I scrolled up to reveal Shajaki's haul/photo. I do have Skywarp and he is Skydope! Haven't found Soundwave or Blurr yet. I have no interest in that Windblade. I have the SDCC deco from last year. She sports a neat color palette. Come to think of it though, in general, I have little interest in Windblade. Period. :lol:

I do. I'll add it to the list of pics I don't have time to take.

Yes, it would work, but I'm tired of Cliff being a repaint. I'm ready for him to have his own mold.

Good old Repaintjumper.

TF Prime got that right.

And then murdered him, as he wasn't a repaint.

They pulled a mean one there didn't they?

They created a cool character, formed a relationship with us and boom :michaelbay:

That's one of the things that got me interested in Prime, they weren't pulling punches. The series kept a darker harder edge then I was accustomed to and I like it ;)^

Didn't hurt that they had some of the strongest toys in recent history either

You are correct on all things!! I wouldn't mind collecting those guys properly. It's nice that the continuity is continued currently toooooo!!

If you do, go after the FE version first, except for Steve ;)^

I've never handled that mold, but I hear things (not bad things). I'd still pick it up at a good price. Can never have enough Steves. Maybe one day I'll bite the bullet and buy flying Steve :michaelbay:

Well its not like they could afford the Rock to voice him all season long. Its more like the Rock going, "here's a character that I will make super cool for you to love him even though you only see him once, Your Welcome!"

That's also why I gave up on watching RiD after like 14 episodes in. Never grabbed me like Prime did. Too kiddish as a continuation of a darker story as that. Kinda like if Batman Beyond was an entirely child-friendly show. It wouldn't have worked. Prime is one of those shows that cannot be continued without the same tone.

So I recently decided to dip into the shamefully wonderful world of cheap KO's from China.
I feel so dirty, and I like it!

This will be a fun project for this weekend.

P.S. I have no qualms about buying KOs of 3rd party toys.

Huh, which 3P Megs is that a KO of? Don't believe I've seen it before :-?

And if you can't wait for the Cobo to finish the build - check mine over here!

The best kind of KOs are of 3P figures, welcome to the party, the dirty dirty :DANCE:

So, going pre-paint that tiny tyrant?

I need to build more models. The HG Gundam I got was fun and it's a cool figure. In due time...

At first it seemed to dark, but after giving him some love it seems like a perfectly fine shade of grey. I mean, it's a model, you can always take it apart and give that grey a quick touch of silver.

I was tempted to go with the Grateful Dead's Touch of Grey, but I'm not a fan :lol:
