If I had any decent editing skills I would totally make a parody video combining prowl with police squad. What's next on your list to get now cobo or are you just waiting for certain masterpieces to be released?

Oh man. I didn't realize you didn't have Animation Bluestreak.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! YOU KOULDV'E HAD HIM TOO!!

Those dang KOs. My KO Bluebluestreak is pretty nice. Paint is clean, the only issue I had was his canopy popped off, easily solved by glue. And his neck was a little loose, easily solved by floor polish!!

I think I'm gonna have to jump back in and get KO MP Sideswipe. I miss that mold, and that G2 version is not the one I want. I mean I like him, but much like Magnus, I can't deal with his face right now.

M R pigs!
No day ain't.

O S A R pigs!
OOOOOO! Day R pigs

:lol:

OK! Moving on.

The repaint, the KO, and the 3rd Party.

I had to head out of town for a few days to help my dear old Mama with some things. Girder and KO Swipe showed up the day after I left. Of course.
Would have been nice if I could have taken them with to fiddle with at Mom's. I found Inferno at the Target closest to Mom's house.

Haven't had a chance yet to play with the crew from China, but I pulled Girder out of the box. Holy cats! HE is heavy as all get out and built like a brick **** house! I can tell already he's gonna be awesome!

Aw hells yeah!

Yeah that mold is abnormally heavy and doesn't hinder posing one bit. Prepare your mind for :BOOM:

You forgot "C M hooves (or tails, or snouts)?" and the "L I B, M R pigs!"..or you went with the whole "day" thing in there. I'm used to:
M R (animal)!
M R not.
O S A R! C M (parts)?
L I B, MR (animal)!

Looking forward to the update on the figures!! Cary said Backdraft was the baller, so Girder seems to be following suit!!

You're right! I did forget that part. I's been years since I thought about that little routine. Don't even remember what it's from, do you?
Cary's little improv jarred it out of memory.

Some other fun hauls worth noting.

Gramatron sent me home with some fun lil bots for the Tronettes.

These are actually really cute and fun. The girls are digging them, and I'm all for some lil TFing robos they can handle.

Also found some goodies in the mail box.

Repros for MP Magnus and the KO Prowl. Plus sigils, because you always need more.

Readin my mind! I've seriously been toying (lol) around with the idea of getting Girder, even standing him side by side with Grapple, calling him "Hauler". When I was a kid, I had Grapple, and only ever saw Season 1. I thought he WAS Hauler :lol:

Silly and simple. They remind me of those goofy McBots that came in Happy Meals in the 80s.
Good quality construction suprisingly.

I would say though, unless you have younglings to enjoy them, they could easily become white noise clutter in a big boy's collection.

Cram.... aren't you the one who fears online/overseas buying? ShowZ Store feels like... that sketchy Walmart in the bad neighborhood. So "Rubadubspawn Deals" feels like the van behind a bodega selling stolen stereos where you might get shot :shock:

I've bought from ShowZ before (desperate for a Magten) and while it took forever, it did in fact arrive. So for that price, I can wait! Bought! Thanks Care!
