Hope everyone had a nice Easter!

I really need to get a stampy:-?

You really do, Zero -- but beware! The BW Neo slope is VERY slippery

Oh I know, I still look at magmatron and dream..

Magmatron! What a lovely Predacon, that one.....when I realized he even existed, I hunted for him thanks to his plesiosaur component alone (Nessie!). But I did get lucky with him, and all my Beast buys, since Kingdom wasn't even a rumor at the time -- I only had all of you to tell me BW and BM was cool, and finally gave the line a chance! I can see the prices are pretty much skyrocketing at this point on the aftermarket....I had Tako Tank as a grail figure, even, but got lucky finding him for a reasonable price as well (missing missiles, of course, and the water-bladder thing)!

I wonder if there's a possibility we could see a remake of Magmatron, or any of the Beastly combiners....I would also be interested to see any Beast Machines updates.

Depends on how well Kingdom sells

Here's hoping Kingdom converted some other former G1ers, Zero!

I brought together all my female Autobots, under Elita-1.OK, I totally forgot Lancer and Kelly.

Whose the RiD Sideburn redeco? I love that mold. Great pics!

oh yeah, That's Roulette! She actually came in a two-pack with her Decepticon twin-sister Shadow Striker, for the Official Transformers Collectors Convention 2003! I picked her up alone at a vintage mall, due to her being a female Autobot, but she looks absolutely fantastic as a Dodge Viper as well. You reminded me I want to obtain her sister as well, Zero....

Good luck with that one

hah! Challenge accepted, Zero (even if my chances are nearly zero!)

You'll be cursing me by the end of it

This is your fault Bod

heh, Glad I could help, D-Max! The only other Wolverine I have is him in his "first appearance" against the Hulk (the two-pack). It sits MISB though lol

What an amazing bunch of new items for Kingdom from HasbroPulse's Fan Fest!

I love that we will be seeing more Shattered Glass -- Ratchet and Prime looked great, now Blurr -- I wonder who we'll see next. Some heroic 'Cons?

I liked seeing the updates to Scorponok and Rhinox, but I don't plan on picking them up -- I am happy with the original and T30 I currently have, but I'm sure fans will happily take them both home. I expected to see them sooner or later, but I am still hopeful for a new Polar Claw....

Tracks looks great, but I will hold-off for a possible RoadRage! She was rumored, after all....

And lastly, I want that Galvatron -- but I'm hoping for G1 toy or Movie accurate colors. I'm perfectly happy with my purple DX9 Tyrant, but a CHUG in those colors would be a must for me! Ultimately, I only pre-ordered the Ark -- I was hesitant at first, but the ship itself is just so cool looking, and having Mainframe as Teletraan-1 is just the best. I can't wait add a second Titan to the collection (besides Fort Max)!

Well you're in luck with a few of your wish list there Bod

I think so too, Zero! One that didn't make the Kingdom cut, according to rumor, was Polar Claw -- I finally pulled the trigger on him the other day, thanks to eBay. I always wanted him, and was going to wait on a Kingdom update, but his original will satisfy me just the same.

The hunt hasn't been particularly good to me, but I did manage to find Cyclonus! I had not originally planned on purchasing him, tbqh, but having him in-hand gave me too many ideas to leave him behind....he would lead my version of the Armada!

Man, so many awesome pics!

Also, I need a Polar Claw too

Love the Cyclonus group shot, you need the universe mold to complete it

Thanks D-Max! I can't wait to get Polar Claw home. I'm still casually hunting for TransMetals2 Blackarachnia as well, but missed out twice now on reasonably priced ones.

I almost had Universe Cyclonus as well, Zero! I think I skipped on him a few times as well, at vintage toy stores back in the day. I wish I had had him for the Armada, of course, but this trio works as well! I also skipped CW Cyclonus, but liked his head-sculpt too.

I continue to be amazed by just how much I love TransMetals2 Optimus Primal -- his vacuum metallizing still pops!

I love BW Silverbolt

Me too, Zero! I remember when I heard Silverbolt was in Beast Wars....as a G1er, my expectations were a lot different. But they won me over -- the Beast Wars Maximals team was wonderful, and I really enjoyed Silverbolt quite a bit -- even moreso than the original Aerialbot leader himself.

I do love both versions of the BW Silverbolt(s)

Beast Wars Silverbolt is still my Silverbolt. Loved him, and the toy is great too

I remember when the Aerialbots came on the G1 cartoon -- I remember liking the Stunticons waaay more.

With Beast Wars Silverbolt, he was hilarious in his duties as a white knight, and his change in Beast Machines (developmentally) was interesting to say the least!
