Not just one frightening nightmare, but SIX frightening nightmares!!

Also, nice shot Cobotron! He looks more deadly than I remember
Since that is technically Devil Gigatron, that means he has TEN frightening nightmares (maybe eleven if you count the ostrich).

And Cobs, that is an awesome picture!
10?! Sweet mercy.

Yeah! I got the regular 6-changer version, but Cobs has the 10 changer version. although we must remember that some of those modes are really forced and there are now technically 11. :MAXIMAL:

D, I'm super excited you're getting that toy. He is so cool and freaking evil. Maybe my favorite bad guy.

But wait! There are different versions? 10 and 6? I did not know that. Mine is the Car Robots Takara version. We're the Hasbro versions neutered some how?

Also, beware sometimes the chrome didn't hold up very well.

Yes, The takara Gigatron had 6 modes while the Devil Gigatron (the whiter onep) has 10 officially. Hasbro used the devil gigatron version for their megatron and galvatron. technically they are repaints of one another, but the devil gigatron as well as the hasbro versions have a slight retool in the form of a tab to secure the mammoth mode trunk. :MAXIMAL:

Yours looks white, so I assume you have the devil gigatron version, with officially 10 modes (11 if you look at tfwiki where they have a picture of an ostrich mode recently created) :MAXIMAL:

Did Takara release a black and purple version?

Well cool. Thanks for clearing that up. I didn't remember all that. It was a long time ago now. From what you said in the Jak Shack, you were 5 or 6 when that toy came out in Japan.
Awe lil' baby D!

Silly are you 16 now? Cool! Happy B-day. Sorry I missed it.

Car Robots came out in 2000. I was lucky enough to find a Japanese import shop in the Chicago suburbs back then. Not sure when RID came out in the States. 2001? 2002? So that means D was 5! :shock:

For the record I graduated high school the year before D was born. I may be old, but the good news is, I don't feel old either. Y'all have seen my toys! :-D

My kids keep me young too.

Is it Emgo who says, You don't stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing?
Love that saying.

I actually turn 16 in July so you have a bit to go. :-P

July 7th. I am planning on going shopping that day and hopefully getting a pretty good haul. If I don't find anything I want out then I'll probably just get MP-28, Gen Arcee, and CW UM on TFsource to complete my main 4 season 3 Autobots.

Haha, thanks Cram! Despite the fact he is missing the dragon mode tail, accessories and the covers for the dragon heads, he is really cool and I love him so far! He can't really assume the jet or hand modes well, but the car, dragon and bat modes still are poppin! And, he is technically my first Predacon (not prime predacon, the other kind of pred :PREDACON:

)
