Picked up Legends Groove today. Defensor was so happy to have the extra... ummm... "support", that he struck a pose.

Of course Rodimus had to get in the picture.

A tyrant and his combiners

And some random RID15 love.

A nice little group shot of the gang so far.

I've been having a blast with Rodders. We've been running amok on my various shelves leaving a wake of chaos and mayhem in our path.

Be careful, they're like potato chips, you can't have just one.

Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed.

I actually had another haul yesterday, but it didn't belong in the toy haul thread.

Picked this up on clearance for just under $12. Already played it a few years back, but it's a fun game and I've been wanting to play it again recently. Just don't let Ultra Magnus find out... Dammit, too late!

Of course UM reads the manual. Once he gets done, I'll never get another turn.

And one last closing picture before putting a cap on this day. The obligatory deluxe vs legends Warpath picture.

Dammit Roddy!

I'm a big fan of War and Fall of Cybertron. Lots of fun. Got as many achievements as I could.

I just jumped back into my last checkpoint. Had no idea what I was doing and took a while for the controls to come back. Its been over 2 years since I've played. I got 3 trophies (team playstation) last night. It was the do X amount of this type trophies. I used to have a bad case of trophy whore-itis, but that was starting to ruin me having fun. Now I don't even look at them until I get them. It's a fun little surprise :lol:

I realized after a couple cut-scenes how different this game is than some of the other fictions I've been into recently (IDW, also I just read Exodus). I played WoC & FoC before getting back into the TF universe. FoC is probably one of my gateway drugs that got me back in. TF: Prime being the other.

I wanna say my save point was about halfway through the campaign of a second playthrough. I may start over just to see how messed up my headcanon can get. Between Exodus, MtMtE, RID and a few other comics (Autocracy, Monstrosity and I still need to read Primacy (and a few more digital lines)); I'm starting to stumble over my fictions :BANG_HEAD:

You said achievements, so I assume you are team xbox? Don't worry, I don't do that silly fanboy stuff anymore. Gamers are gamers, word! I'm not really a multiplayer kind of guy, but if someone wants to try and do a little gaming, PM your PSN ID and I will add ya. Be warned, you'll just seem me in my corner playing D3.

Hooray trophies! I usually go for achievements after I've played through the game at least once :grin:

Also, I just read (some were re-reads) the entirety of Marvel's G1 Transformers (U.S.) followed by a re-read of IDW's ReGeneration One. Talk about a continuity mind blow. :michaelbay:

Re-watched TF:TM and some Headmasters the other day, and then I was trying to explain the Classics-verse to a non-transfan (they picked up a few of my TFCC magazines)..my head hurts thinking about all of this. My answer was, "You know how Marvel and DC have multiple universes? Yeah, so do the Transformers." :lol:

Right now, I'm team Nintendo. I got rid of my R2-D2 360 for the Wind Waker edition Wii U, and I've had Nintendo portables since the GameBoy it seems. I hardly find time to play any games, but I'm kicking around getting a PS4 (clearly the more powerful system), but I really want that Forza 6 Edition Xbox One. I missed the Batman edition PS4, and the 20th A.E. PS4..I really like my special edition consoles :grin:

Also, watching Headmasters isn't helping my itch to pick up Warden and Cupola. All I have for HM figures is a G1 Highbrow, and he's not as cool as I remember, especially since both of Gort's arms have fallen off!!

I use that all the time. Half the reason is that I don't have the knowledge to explain much.

I'm totally jealous right now. I got a used Gamecube not too long ago for free and made it my mission to find a decent priced copy of Wind Waker. Easily one of my favorite Zeldas. I haven't played any of the Wii ones, but that number one spot goes to "A Link to the Past!"

I hear ya on time. I've had to put myself on a strict gaming diet. That's why I don't own multiple systems. Also, with digital purchases, you get really tied down to a brand. I've been a member a PS+ since it was started and it just makes "sense" for me to keep that intravenous drip going to support my PS4, 3 & Vita habit.

Anyway, games is what make a console, so I would base my decision on exclusive games that you want to play.

3rd party figures are a little out of my budget and well let's be honest, a dangerous game. But for some reason, I'm drawn to this guy:

Excellent

Never played WW so it was a no-brainer. I also never played OoT, and then they released a special edition 3DS that came with it, in 3D! Great game. THEN A Link Between Worlds came with a special edition 3DS XL so I picked THAT up. AMAZING game. THEN Majora's Mask (hadn't played it) came out for the *new* 3DS XL (and I could never get the MM Special Edition so a black one), so I picked it up and never played it. :lol:

Traded in MM the other day.

I hear ya. I have a bunch of stuff associated with my Nintendo ID and XBL so I should probably stay there. Booooooooo-urns.

Carry is awesome! And you like the name?! Whaaaaaaaaaat?! :lol:

I want him but I can't afford everything I want right now :sad:

I'm trying to pick and choose and figure out what I'm selling but man, first world problems abound.

Mini Magnus Mayhem

It's like Optimus's good and evil personas

Mini Magnus learned it from watching Aliens

Chest burster mode

Who's the loadbearer now?

CW Ultra Magnus, now with more G1

I just want to keep him like this all the time now!

I love big head mode!

That and the silver paint match so well.

My older brother used to pin me down and tickle me while psychotically singing that theme at me.
It's burned in forever.
Please make it stop! :-(

P.S. I've been laughing tears this whole time.

There is a place for Ambus's head. The Magnus helmet is mounted on an arm that lowers over Ambus's head. Its made of two pieces that are held together with a tiny screw that fits over a peg on the arm. At first I thought the screw just held the helmet to the peg. It didn't look like two pieces, because it's hollow in the back.

Would you like some more pics? Might be easier to explain.

Also, the cab is held on by a single screw as well.

I was going to continue the silliness last night but Photobucket went down for maintenance.

No I can see it in previous pics, so I don't need any more photos...

But you do!

BRILLIANT! its like Oprah started collecting TF. You get a Magnus helmet, you get a Magnus helmet, everybody gets a Magnus helmet!

Dangit, now I've got to hit eBay up for some Magnus helmets.

That's awesome!

Oh I forgot; TRUCK FACE is my new favorite combiner.
