I vow to be a kind but firm dictator.
Maybe drop the tator...

I will not let past relationships influence my decision making... Much.

It will be required to use my likeness in every sign though as I will declare myself the official mascot of HMW. Faliure to comply will earn you a board warning and an across the board penalty of -15% xp for your team.

Also, my ego must be stroked in every post & I must always be referred to as "The Magnificent Bun, sir".

As a symbol of my new authority all weapons & missions will be renamed to reference me and my team shall all be come level 12's.

So let it be written. So let it be done.

Happy magic bunny laying chocolate eggs day to everyone in the Heavy Metal War from the RDD!

The Bun-God is pleased to see some Autobots are already choosing to pay tribute to their new Decepticon Overlord.

Bun-God is most pleased.

But in the future all affiliation tags will be replaced with [BUN] so plan ahead and just make the change now.

All hail Bun-Bun! :BOWDOWN:

Your tribute has been noticed.
The Bun-God is pleased
Once he has ascended into his full power you shall be greatly rewarded.

The Decepticon in me just wants to say ... nope. Not buying it.

I'm with Sustain on this one.

All praise to Burn!

Ah, Decepticon infighting; music to Autobot audio receptors... heh...

Well we do need to fight someone!

Infighting is kinda necessary, otherwise we'd get bored and turn on you lot again

That's why it's music to our ears.

Hijacking for a moment; remember the old 'triple-changer' alt image that had both a plane and a tank? It's weird, but I was looking at the images page and for some reason, instead of thinking 'triple-changer' when I saw it, I thought 'Duocon' - you know, the Decepticons where a plane or helicopter formed the upper body and a tank or jeep formed the lower half (Battletrap and Flywheels, I think their names were)...

There'd have to be reasonable tactics that could work for those alts (I.E., strafe and avoid for the chopper/jeep or strafe and ram for the jet/tank), but it would almost be interesting to see in the game, at least until hell freezes over, pigs fly, a highway is built to Hawai'i and HMW 2.0 comes out and brings actual Triple-Changers with it... (i.e. never...)

Except Hasbro have mutilated the Duocon concept and it's now two vehicles that have individual robots which then combine into one bigger robot.

It's basically Powerlinking now.

...And I thought that this whole recent mess of making EVERY character a Headmaster, Powermaster/Primemaster, Targetmaster, Combiner or whatnot was bad... :BANG_HEAD:

Some times you get something good, an improved or a new bot other times ... we get crap.

Shut your whore mouth! Titans Return has been the best line in years!

Combiner Wars and Power of the Primes are pretty much the same old dross though... I'm so bored of combiners....

ehhhhhh like all lines, there were hits and misses.

The big surprise for me was Wingebag, not having the head to worry during transformation made for a solid figure in both modes (better than the RiD version for sure)

Initially the whole "everyone is a headmaster" thing irked me, but by the time the line finished not having heads to worry about during transformation made a lot of sense.

The combiners are the only ones I actually give a **** about. Shame their pretty much garbage.

Literally the only good toy I've bought in years was Gnaw, and that was only after the hydrax tourney as I want one of my whole team.

And Ravenclaws don't talk like that Red. That -10 points to the nerds.
