Except for SS Grimlock's permanent mace hand.

Don't know why everyone is so angry over that, it is movie accurate, and a mace hand is far cooler than 2 normal hands for a movie Dinobot

Ah, see, that's where you're wrong. Having the mace hand is accurate, yes, but having it be permanently one is not.

Nope, i am correct

So a shot that shows him with his right hand as a mace hand and holding the larger mace in the right makes you correct that the mace hand is permanent... even in the face of a screenshot that shows him with a normal hand on his right arm and holding the large mace in that hand?

My mistake, I didn't see you say permanent.

But the fact is, he had that hand mace, and it was prominent in his concept art, and I still far prefer it to having a normal hand. Not every Transformer needs 2 hands.

On the Dinobot note, this one is underrated. Slog was a great mold, and this is the size and bulk Slog deserved to have

Just thought I would show off Roadbuster with Shockwave.

I'm looking forward to finding those new deluxes. I love my original Topspin, but he really needed deluxe weaponed out mates

Now that it is put together, here is my Movie-verse collection!

Sweet looking D, glad your able to get the movie collection set up. Unfortunately until things change, my set up overall is on hold.

Just picked up Scrapper today at a local Walmart, 7 down one to go! Hooah! Definitely loving his robot mode.

I cannot wait to complete the new Devy and put him next to his old Supreme self! I still want to get the legion one too, to complete the family

I love the colors that Grimlock sports in the Age of Extinction line:

He has a nice presence!

Late to the game on movie collecting. Can anybody tell me why they gave AOE Snarl an extra fake dino head in his right leg? Is it just for leg symmetry?

For symmetry, yes. The dino head may have been designed to split in half at once point, but tolerances wouldn't allow that.

Did you know that Stegosauruses were once thought to have a second brain in the hips because of the cavity in their hip structure?

Nice picture! I think they nailed the SS Soundwave, he is a pretty dang good figure! Like others, I am still sad the RotF one doesn't have Ravage.

Also just realized, I do not own a single Frenzy toy from the movies :shock:

Not even the tiny one that comes with 2007 deluxe Barricade?

No, I got the premium one that came with the headlight attachment instead of Frenzy.

The difference 11 years makes for a character is stunning

"I bring you Cybertron, your home, and still you choose humanity"
"You were the one who taught me freedom is everyone's right"
"Always the bravest of us, but you could never make the hard decisions!"

THIS IS MY PLANET

"Now, we need a truce. All I want is to be back in charge. Besides, who would you be without me, Prime?"

"..Time to find out"

*shing!*

DONE FOR!

"Optimus, all I ever wanted was the survival of our race. You must see why I had to betray you."
"You didn't betray me. You betrayed yourself"
"NO OPTIMUS"

Uh, dude?

I think you mean 9 years. :-P

Dark of the Moon was 2011.

But yes, time does make a difference. Well, time and a priority shift. With DotM Voyagers, the enormous Mechtech cannons were set as the highest priority.

by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Mon May 04, 2020 2:26 pm

Yeah, meant 9, RotF being 11 years ago and DotM being in 2011 crossed me up!

It's also my original Sentinel figure that I sold last January, regretted selling, but then got back from the guy I sold it to! Feels good to have him back, even if he isn't that good

I want him just because of his altmode being OO scale, meaning I can use him with my OO scale model trains.

Much like Car Shatter and Helicopter Dropkick, he will probably be in alt mode on the shelf, but that is cool to have a fantastic robot alongside the alt modes too
