While looking for HA Barricade at TJ Maxx (5 in my area, still no Barricade :BOOM:

) I bought RTS Strafe. I don't mind Hasbro using ROTF Mindwipe's mold but they could have used this mold for some other bot. Say one with a solid color. Now, I'm not complaining about the colors, it is after all G1 Strafe. I just think his color scheme is not for this mold. I like the half face Autobot tattoos on the wings and glad they didn't give his eyes the glossy hypnotize look like Mindwipe(thats his look & his only). The quality of the paint job is horrible, messy, no QC at all. Although I'm happy Hasbro is bringing one of the Technobots in the new line, I'm giving it a 2 out 5. It's a start. They just need to start over. Maybe in the Prime series?

Picked up Special Ops Jazz at Walgreens.

Wasn't super keen on paying $15 but I figured this might be the last time I see him at retail.

I stopped by TJmaxx to finish off the RTS Voyagers and picked up Deep Dive. I like his light piping and color scheme. At first I didn't know how to display him, but after a research on vehicles simular to his I find that he's in scale with most Cyberverse figures. >:oP

STUPID ME! I never knew how valuable my HFTD Sea Spray was until now. On the back of the box it says "Most Scout figures fit in side". That's a lie! :lol:

It should say Legends or Legion Class. They're perfect! :KREMZEEK:

Now I have to get ROTF Stratoshere. Damn this plastic crack addiction! :BOOM:

I found a RTS Wreck Gar at Ross and a RTS Voyager Solar Storm Grapple at TJ Maxx.

I really like the Wreck Gar but I'd be willing to trade or sell. PM me if interested.

RTS Strafe and 'Amazon'-i-cron!!. Still looking for RTS Windcharger.

Cruel fate, why do you mock me?!!

I just got Classics Mirage in the mail (thanks Primeultimus) and am waiting on Classics Devestator and Universe Silverstreak.

After that I just need to get a RTS Windcharger and the Skywarp/Magnus and my Classics shelf is done (until they make more G1 guys).

For some reason there is a megaton of RTS DeepDive, Grapple, and Lugnut around here, but not one Strafe.

I was glad to find and be able to buy the 'US rejected RtS Legends' G1 Optimus Prime, G1 Megatron, Prowl, Starscream and 'Gold Bumblebee'.
Nicely discounted they were too: pretty nifty little TF's for their size and price.

I went to Target earlier this week and grabbed my third and last G Scourge to complete the Sweeps. After buying this figure 3x I realized you can move the wings downward to have a more G1 look. (Stupid me :HEADHURTS:

) Having the weapons storage stay open just didn't look right. :???:

I picked up two leader class Primes for $20 each. I ripped all the guts (electronics) out of one so I can try my hand at some custom painting. The second is getting accurate blue eye treatment.

I really like this figure.

Went to a local Antique store and picked up Universe Thrust. He was loose and in really good condition. Only missing his missles, he does have the launches but no missles. But the catch, he was only $3.75, so I figured it was worth the risk of not finding the missles. If I dont find them somewhere I will probably just sell this one on ebay and put the funds to a complete one. But for the time being my original 6 seekers are complete.

I realized the same thing after buying some extra 'Sweeps' too.

Picked up my 3rd and final Scourge for $2.50 with the 2 coupons

News Credits: 101 · Thu Oct 13, 2011 4:42 pm

I had to order them from the Hasbro online shop, but I finally have Kup, Scourge, Wheeljack, and Warpath.

Here's my quick review:

Wheeljack: Feel cheap and loose. He's not totally bad, but I don't like his overall feel.

Scourge: Very nice in every way, even if his transformation is too fiddly.

Kup: I really really like him. Awesome vehicle, awesome robot, the way his chest morph is pure genius. I even ordered the head upgrade kit. He's worth it.

Warpath: The best of the bunch. Perfect modes, perfect transformation, he don't feel cheap and he feel solid in hand.

I pass on Thundercracker because I'm a #1 Starscream fan and I have about every molds of him. I dont need repaints. Starscream cannot be replaced.

Last week I picked up Battle Ops Gold Bumblebee from Marshalls. I thought DOTM Leader BB was as close as you can get in scale to display with the Arcee trio. I was wrong! Battle Ops Bee is the perfect scale for the trio. >:oP

Even though I think DOTM Leader BB is the best & is close to screen accuracy, B Ops BB has a lot to offer. I'm sure by now everyone knows the arm cannon is a drawback so I won't get into that but love the lights, sounds, paint, chrome rims, rubber tires, 2 extra figs you get with him & the G1 theme after you press down on the hood above the driver side wheel in Vmode.

The G1 theme had me sold! :APPLAUSE:

I'm dropping Battle Blades BB to 3rd and making Battle Ops Gold BB a close 2nd as my best movieverse BB. I almost feel guilty for passing him up when he was released! Well worth the find. ;)^
