Maybe it will be the subject of a "Whatcha Playing Cary? soon.

We better move these posts!!

ALSO, finally watched the first episode with Jazz in RiD. Good stuff! I hope he's in more. Don't ruin it for me if he is or isn't :lol:

Yeah, that's a good episode. Jazz is a cool bot. I love the little song/jingle they play when Jazz does his little dance when giving Sideswipe advice. I'd like to get that as a ringtone.

Picked up a lil buddy to keep me company this week while I'm out of town, but he seems more interested in kicking it with Link. Can't say I blame him though. Just look how lovely that sky looks.

I'm liking these little guys even thought they don't do much more than squish down into a hockey puck. Gots me a good look at Drift and Jetstorm. Can't say they are looking all that good to me. Jetstorm is who I'm after and he just doesn't look as good as Slipstream. Fracture on the other hand looks good enough to stand with the RID Warriors. And that psycho Airazor just looks cool.

I'm still holding off on them though. May wait for a sale or a good discount. Of course other bots being able to ride Fracture Megaman style is really tempting.

Now, I'm off to listen to some dope beats a very nice fellow Seibertronian left me in another thread that I haven't had time to listen to until now.

Jeez, all those linked images are so huge

It's all work and little play for me. I do get the chance to focus on other things though. About to fire up the 3DS.

Them deployers are neat and cheap. It's an easy pick up to round out the RID cast on my shelves. Slipstrem and Jetstorm are cool characters on the show and have an interesting if not odd dynamic with Drift.

If it's any consolation Slipstream is cooler that Air Razor. Although Air razor is a cool monster con. You know, both those names are from previous fembots. I wonder if these are suposed to be ladies? :-?

I always skim Will's list, but my figure knowledge is usually not extensive enough to venture into the forums.

Great photos Cary! In your picture of prime Optimus and Jetfire, does that gun Optimus has come with the figure? Or is it from another source? It looks so screen accurate to the show.

Thanks. He came with that gun and a sword. They both cover the hand to look like they did on the show.

Okay thanks. So that First Edition Optimus? And also, that MP Optimus

someday he will be mine!

Yup, that's FE OP. He is the 2nd reissue/run that has the mismatched brown bits that you only notice in alt mode. The FE's are really cool from that line. I wanna say I'm only missing Vehicon, but from that I've heard the deluxe is better. I've been wanting to do a buddy up photo shoot with my PRID figures. I need to add that to my to do list.

MP OP is easily one of my favorite figures. He is just so good. Mine is the TRU version from few years ago.

BBTS has the Hasbro one for a pretty good price right now at $159.99. He comes with a little lagniappe, Vector Sigma. I've been told that VS is a pretty cool bonus by a few robuddies.

Oooh bonus points for using lagniappe in sentence :-D

.

Also, that version of MP prime is the 1st one I got when I picked up collecting again. In fact I bought a second when it came back in stock at BBTS just to have MISB. If you can get him, I highly recommend. I do think that more re-issues of this guy are in the cards though if you miss out this round. 1. It's Prime. 2. MPs are growing in popularity daily. 3. It's Prime and that = $$.

It is indeed a happy sunday. We just got back from a round of mini golf and gorging ourselves on Indian buffet with some old friends.

Now it's time to fire up the playstation and knock a couple back.

Happy sunday to you and everyone else!

About MP Prime, is he really hard to transform? Im pretty bad at transforming figures with a lot of small intricate steps. I'd love to get him but if I'm going to throw him across the room every time I try to transform him then I'd probably just be wasting my time.

I wouldn't say so. In ways his transformation is similar to G1 OP. He is a pretty satisfying and fun figure. The biggest thing for me with MP figures is the fear of breaking an expensive toy.
