Glad you like the humour, I just couldnt resist (sorry N). A question for you D-Man, do you think of moving in before popping the question? And do you think either of you need a steady job before things get steady? If you dont want to discuss it here, dont need to. But you got me curious and I am a romantic at heart. I only think with 2 organs and the brain aint one of them.

Ya know, I never thought converting to Maximal and changing the name to Primal would cause this... I really need to think about this more...

We're both most likely headed for grad school and due to her being catholic, we cannot actually "live together" until we actually would get married. I'm not catholic so I really don't understand all that. And considering I'm an engineer, steady job isn't too big an issue, especially since grad schools for engineers pay for the schooling as well as a $15000-35000 stipend per year for going there and helping out the professor, so even in school I should be ok for a while. Besides, we also both know that just because we're engaged doesn't make it a rush for marriage, just means we are completely committed, and you guys probably know this very well, but there are times when you can just tell that this is the one, and for the past 3 years I've felt it.

As a Christian myself, I think it has something to do with resisting the temptation of sex before marriage.

Oh I get that part, because that is my religion and my morals as well. Save for marriage. My thing was more you can live together and resist, cause we really do mean it, but something else is in play with her. something about having to go through pre-marriage counseling and we can't have ever lived together prior to that or something like that. I'm not really sure

Hey man, ever since my wife's second trimester I have been having more fun with the plastic crack. But thats life.

Sounds good, I like a man with a good head on his shoulders And I'm catholic. I didnt know about that rule though but funny enough I didnt live with my wife until I proposed. I dont think that happens too often though because when we went to the priest for the marriage papers, he was surprised that our legal adresses were different. he hadnt seen that in a loooooong time So I guess that tradition isnt honoured too much here, but I honourd it unknowingly.

PS: Also, notice I said our "legal" adresses were different. Thats a church loophole you can tell your girlfriend. If your government papers still get sent to your parents, you can move in with her and God will just look the other way. Thats how it works, God is cool that way.

Might just be a Catholic thing, then. My Dad used to be one (he's a Baptist now), and he said they have a lot of odd rules and such.

I see a little better now. IDK, maybe things are just a bit different, but oh well. I'll still keep her!

Oooooooh MAN! These guys are sooooooo DAH-OOOOPE!

WOW! They're so tiny. Totes McAwesome!

When you showed those off originally, I looked into them, and I still am. They are awesome looking little dudes!

Nice!

Though I like your little notsun brothers more

Wow.... those dudes make proper Legends look like poo

shajaki wrote:Wow.... those dudes make proper Legends look like poo

They really do! they look like they could be super detailed deluxes, it's deceiving! I want them

Slag has always been my fav dino, and I'm really pleased with him, but D, I like the Bros. better too.
Just way more 3P bang for your 3P buck! They are little pieces of functional art. The plastic used is fenominal. The paint work is outa sight. The articulation is of the chizzy. I'm gaga for the sculpt head to toe. Only slight downzer is the alt mode is just a taddzy bit meh... BUT I DON'T CARE!
They may be all the same figure, but the paint apps are done so well and different enough to make each unique and special. They even gave Smokescreen his own shoulder cannons, and all the guns are different colors....and ... and ...and...

Snarl has been my favorite dinobot (Stegosaurus is one of my favorite dino's of all time) but those legends class dudes are just so cool. They do look individualized enough and the aesthetic is just what I really want!

D, do you have any comic book reference that these designs pull from? Are they War Within, or WoC. The alts are definitely some kind of pre-earth Cybertronian-ness.

Well those designs certainly scream WfC/FoC design to me, and I love those designs to no end. Plus, Prowl had that exact look for a while in the current exRiD comic (issues 15-27 I believe) so it tickles my fancy.

Anything that has that "Cybertronian" style from the games grabs my attention faster than a rainbow explosion that rains down chocolate

Can you link a pic of the alt modes?

Also, can you give me a link to the combining dinos that inspired the ko? I know they arent your dinos but the KO has me curious and I would like to see the originals.

I may break and nab those lil guys or a different war in pocket bot set. I'm also on team pre earth WfC design

And hello nurse Slag, or those your dress horns or are you happy to see me?

Horny dino! It just occured to me that poor Slag's name is the Transformers equivalent of ****.

Looking for Dinobiner ref, Willy! gimme sec. mmmmmmm'k?

SO thats what hat picture was. I thought they were 2 different toys entirely. One being smokescreen and the other was just some random vehicle thing. Yeah, not a fan of that alt mode. And while I do love cybertronian designs, this one doesnt do it for me. Its more FOC Optimus than WFC Optimus and I felt like WFC Optimus really had 2 distinct modes while FOC was just a robot and a contorted robot making a transportaion mode. Kinda like the Titanium toys that didnt have great alt modes.

I like these alt modes for the notsun brothers. And FoC Optimus to me had the better vehicle mode. I loved the stacks and how it looked like a rolling fist

Ah yeah, I can see that - good call!

The WfC Prime alt mode never quite looked right to me. Kinda has this weird 50's vibe going on. He's a beast of a toy to transform and is has a mad line backer bot mode. I'm quite fond of him, but I prefer the simpler FoC prime and that look better.

Kinda how Bumblebigguns has been moved else where and replaced by the Gen Legends figure. Similar look and fits better with those tiny FoC figs. Grimlock, Prime and TeenyBeeny scale very well together.

That they do. I have placed them beside each other before, but right now Bee is in Metroplex's hand, Optimus is on my aligned shelf, and Grimlock is on my random shelf (with leader RotF Prime, Rhinox, Rattrap and classics Bee)
