I dont miss those days since I hated those toys as a kid. What I hated most was how they werent even accurate in any way.

To which line are you referring? The Beast Wars ones were brand new characters, the Beast Wars Transmetals ones were Transmetal versions of those who didn't have proper Transmetal toys, and the Beast Machines ones were all very show-accurate (save for Optimus's and Nightscream's colors).

I was referring to the beast wars stuff. You dont have to find logic to this one, I am just remembering it the way I saw them as a kid. They were either not in the show or looked weird and that was enough for me to dislike them.

I liked the tiny, simplistic promotional toys... great for fiddling, especially when it came with food. Blackarachnia entertained me a great deal as a kid, especially since her other figures (before Beast Machines) were so elusive

Weird as hell, but still a lot more interesting than a board game token.

That's silly, but an opinion I'm sure the general public shared. I prefered getting those TransMetal figures, since Dinobot and Scorponok would have turned if not for their circumstances, and Rattrap and Cheetor thought BA did turn, so it's an interesting "What-If" IMHO

My mind set thinking is. Why pay almost $10 at MCDonalds for a bigmac, extra large fries and extra large soda. When I could spend the same $10 for a burger and fries at higher class restaurant like Applebees, Friendly's or Red Robin.

It's no secret MCDonalds is in the news all the time. McDonalds stores around America, some of them fail health inspections. Their patty and nugget meat nobody knows what animal it comes from.

Sorry for not feeling safe for eating at a low class restaurant like MCDonalds.

Could care less about the oil grease fries and grease on the burgers at MCDonalds. All i'm after is a burger that has meat that comes from a cow. Chicken nuggets with meat from a Chicken. A clean back cooking area. Clean eating area and clean bathrooms. Since some MCDonalds fail so many health inspections and nobody knows what animal they use in their meats. Do not feel comfortable eating at their MC restaurants.

Like I said above Applebees, Frendlys, Outtback, Longhorn and Red Robin offer the same food as Mcdonalds for a same price. If speed is your thing, Then call in your order and pick it up on the take out side.

Need quality food and a sanitary restaurant I can trust. MCdonalds is not it.

The higher quality restaurants like Red Robin, Applebees, Longhorn, Outtback and Friendly's. Fail far less health inspections and quality food taste test than McDonalds does.

I was going to respond to this with something about the show...

I meant plastic-wise. I'm well aware they can do a show that doesn't lean on Optimus, and in fact would like to point out that Rescue Bots has also had the big guy as strictly supporting cast...

And oddly, this helps illustrate the point I actually meant to make (rather than the one I looked like I meant), since Optimus probably has more toys of him in the Rescue Bots toyline than episodes of the Rescue Bots cartoon in which he appears. And Bumblebee's ratio is even more skewed, he has nearly as many toys as Optimus, but only appears about once or twice a season. But they're the famous names, so they tend to get preferential treatment over, for example, Boulder. Or, in this case, Strongarm.

And since Steeljaw is meant to be the Decepticon leader for this series, he seems like another glaring omission. And not squeezed out by bigger names this time, so what's going on with that?

Also, is there some reason I should expect to not hate Fixit after all?

This post has nothing to do with the original topic. Thanks for ignoring my earlier request.

Oh yeah. Where is Steeljaw? He is kind of important.

Nemesis Primal wrote:Also, is there some reason I should expect to not hate Fixit after all?

He's useful enough and a dependable character? And not really annoying since he's downplayed a lot?

I watch the show with my Gf when we just want to have a quick break. Our favourite is fixit, he's very fun. Imagine waspinator as a good guy.

Fixit remind me of Spike from MLP. He's a cute character that everyone treat like some sort of second rate minion...


until he save the day:


Or become the major treat:


Let's stay tuned and find out!

As an aside, it's kinda sad that Australia's already aired the first 13 episodes (which several of us here, myself included, have already watched) before Cartoon Network in the U.S. has even gotten past the second episode.

Only minus the "getting blown up all the time" and "constantly failing" bits.

...which frankly doesn't leave much left to compare him to Waspinator.

He's clumsy and not too bright but in a very endearing way, that's what I meant. It's what I felt and it doesnt need to add up. He's a fun and innocent character that's hard to hate, least of all find annoying.

TF toys that don't transform make me a sad panda. I wouldn't even expect Happy Meals toys to transform, except that they've done it before (more than once: Beast Wars and Animated) so there's precedent.

I tried looking for these but no cigar... are they on tube sites or torrents?

They are tricky to find, good thing Sabreblade's on our side. They are in this thread, you'll have to sift through it.

I though Australia usually gets things last?

I used to have that one and played with it all the time. I wonder where it is now.

You should try to find her! Fantastic figure. Too bad she wasn't repainted for the Animated line at McD's...

The new transformer happy meal inspired me to make a stop motion animation about it. I hope you enjoy!
