Um.
What?

I don't wanna buy another Leader Prime, lol. I just want the trailer.

No problem, just buy one, take the trailer out, transform prime's body about 1/2 way, pull an arm off, stick an old pair of dirty socks in the box along with a knock-off G.I. Joe figure, put some packing tape on it, and return it too Walmart. It will be back out on the shelf the next morning :BANG_HEAD:

I finally got my MP Rodimus. He's awesome! the robot mode looks great in both hot rod and rodimus modes. Only 1 problem. I'm terrified to transform him!!! :shock:

His feet are metal and their ratcheting joint doesn't move easily and it feels like I'm going to break them off when I try to move them. I'm thinking I'll wait for the hasbro one to transform it. Kup is awesome! and the War Axe makes a much better weapon for WFC Optimus than his stupid gun.

Well, I did make an attempt to transform MP Rodimus. I almost got him into Hot Rod car mode, but I can't get the feet positioned correctly, so it wouldn't stay together. Put him back into Rodimus Prime bot mode for now. Here he is with all of my other Rodimus/Hot Rods at work.

Thought I'd have a bit of fun with Kup and MP Roddy's Matrix. Post your captions! I'll start.

"Arise Shitpiece Prime."

Well, it would figure that the day I get Kup from BBTS, I find him at the Ford Road Target in Canton. No Scourge :-(

I did grab Kup though. I was planning on getting 2. This 2nd one will be for the iGear head with the cygar when that comes out. I did overhear someone else looking at TFs that someone found a Scourge at the Westland Target, but I don't know when. Hopefully they'll start hitting more soon.

I guess it was :-)

I didn't realize you were a Seibertronian or I would have introduced myself. Nice to kind of meet you :grin:

But, which one was me!?

Finally got the courage (and time) to transform my MP Rodimus today. YAY! No breakage! Still not going to put him into space winabago mode till i can sand down the paint in the grooves in the trailer like in Peaughs youtube review. Really like the way he looks in the 3 modes I've done. Well, except for those fugly hands that don't grip the pistols/rifle worth a crap

I finally found Scourge and Kup at the Alpine Target. There was only one of each.

My girlfriend and I went out to visit her mom today. I found Scourge at the Shelby Township Target. That was the only new figure. No Kup. There was a Blurr. Roseville Target had nothing new.

Scourge is a nice figure. Both modes are really cool. Fantastic head sculpt.

Has anyone seen any of the new series with Seargent Kup and Scourge near flint? cause everywhere I look still has the last wave of stuff; and it's all Jetblades for some reason.

found kup again along with scourge at the roseville TRU. scourge is awesome. but would it have hurt hasbro to give scourge a slightly repainted version of cyclonus targetmaster?

Wow, new figures at a TRU? that's crazy. Glad to hear they're hitting other stores than Target.

I stopped at the target in Burton and they still have the same old stuff. Though they did have a few of http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... ount/2109/ Darkmount

thanks for the heads up ionicus. found kup this morning at the roseville TRU but no scourge. the nice woman working checked the case in the back for me and told me they should be getting some more on thursday's truck so hopefully i'll find scourge this weekend.

I've been coming up empty everywhere around here. I'm just waiting for Generations Thundercracker and Reveal the Shield Legends Optimus Prime and Megatron. I've found that Kohl's at Macomb mall usually has some of the deluxe figures first. They had Generations Cybertron Megatron weeks before I saw them at any of the local Walmarts, Target, or Toys R Us. Roseville Toys R Us never seems to have what I'm looking for. I'll be happy to help any local toy hunters. Just let me know what you're looking for. I, myself, am primarily an Optimus Prime/ Megatron collector. I'm current until the mentioned figures show up but I will definitely appreciate some help when the TF: Prime and DOTM figures are being released.

i'm still looking for generations Scourge along with RtS Perceptor and Wreck-Gar. It sounds like we hunt in the same area Joe, so if you see em i'd appreciate the heads up.

No problem C. If Scourge has already been seen at Toys R Us, I would go across the street to Kohls. No guarantee but you never know. Honestly the Kohls near Oakland Mall seems to have a better stocked toy section so you may have more luck there.
