He should talk to his doctor about it.

And we'd better hope that if he can get the antennae up, it goes back down before the 4 hour race is over.

If headtennarection presists for more then 6 hours, consult your physician immediately.

Headtenna on my Bluer doesn't stay up all that great either. Scourge's is better.

They confuse me to no end! I don't get why they had to make Ratcheted wrists! It's actually kinda funny and annoying at the same time (trying to get the hands flipped out). but you like em, they just confuse me
I like them too. One of the 20 or so DE molds I have has one hand that's all flopsy mossy. Trust me, tight ratchets are better.

All I ever want is wrist swivels and they have made a glorious return on a few of the TR figs at least. I busted Blurr open last night but was too pooped to party.

I'll try and get some of my signature crap hotel pics up tonight. He is an absolute blast to play with, too bad I didn't have HH with me. Damn the TR line is going hurt.

Oh how I wish that Dragstrip has such beautiful wrist ratchets!

Coming along. Silver done. Blue needs some touch ups and 2nd coats.
Can't wait to peel tape. I love peeling tape. =P~

Looking great. Is it all spray paint?

News Credits: 41 · by **Cobotron** » Thu Jul 21, 2016 9:42 am

@BB21 -

Last night I was thinking I might do a toy acc Silverstreak. so I can have a full D-Bro team of limbs.

D-Bro? That doesn't sound good.

C-bone, it is all spray for now. Gonna hand paint some details in a bit.

Oh, I figured Prime. Or BCP, and Sky Lynx would work.

Combined form...Datsotron? Datson Maximus?

Speaking of customizing CW deluxes... Has anyone figured out a good way to remove Dragstrip's and Breakdown's heads to swap with custom ones?

Pull REALLY hard?

That's what I did with Smokey's.

Think with DS' though is that it looks like it ain't supposed to come off. But, now I'm looking at the pulled off Smokescreen head, and that's looking pretty much the same though. I just don't think with that hinge piece the head is on, I can force it off without breaking something.

I was definitely concerned when I pulled it off. I mean, they're ball joints, so they're kinda supposed to pop off. But, the posts the balls are on (neck) are really thin and bendy.

My thoughts exactly. That's why I am going to love TR becuase it's so easy to switch heads.

Also, lots of traffic on the Cobo thread today! I wish my threads had this much traffic in a day! :lol:

Just a random thing that I was wanting to say, but I hope Takara comes out with a Q-Transformers Springer. I would love to customize it into SillySpringer and have that as my mascot or something.

Titans Return Deluxes just hit my POL! I'll give the Titanmasters until tomorrow to arrive, then I'll ship everything that's currently in stock and it'll arrive right on my birthday!

News Credits: 41 · by **Cobotron** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 1:04 pm

SWEET N! what day is your B-day?

So will the Masters be in stock tomorrow? And, did you already pre-order them?

Cobotron wrote:SWEET N! what day is your B-day?

The 29th. If my POL ships by Monday, then it should get here by then.

Cobotron wrote:So will the Masters be in stock tomorrow?

No idea. I'd just rather ship everything at once, but I won't delay everything else just for them.

Cobotron wrote:And, did you already pre-order them?

Yep. The only ones I really want are Clobber, Nightbeat, and Loudmouth, but they're all sold out on their own. Besides, some of the other guys look pretty cool anyway (Apeface and Skytread in particular).

News Credits: 41 · by **Cobotron** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 1:17 pm

Now I'm in a pickle. I really want those Masters, but I'm holding out for the SDCC 3 pack to show up, and it ain't cheap. May have to just wait to find Masters at retail.

Struggle=Real

N's B-day=Awesome

N, you turning 16?

And sorry Sill! A Q springer would be cool. And SILLY!!!! 8-}

A triple changing Q? Now that would be a thing.

I really wanted to get that (just for Brainstorm), but thankfully they revealed the Walgreens version.

Cobotron wrote:N's B-day=Awesome

Indeed. I'll probably invite a couple of friends over, get pizza, and stay up all night playing video games.

Cobotron wrote:N, you turning 16?

15, but you were close.

Lol I figured it would just be a car, but considering the fact that they surprised us with the Seekers, you never know!

When I actually have the funds to do it, I am planning to just get UW Devastator as soon as possible. THEN I'll go from there with TR. Hopefully I can get a TR Soundwave, and a couple CW and Gen figures I missed out on such as leader Ultra Magnus and deluxe Arcee.
