He does look better than I had expected. Fun to have sharkies of varying size.

And I'm pretty sure that's the right song for that part of the movie. The song is most certainly from the soundtrack.

Wow, that Shark actually looks really good, I didn't give him any thought, but you've made him look good!

Thanks, but he's making himself look good. He's a cool figure, nothing new, but still cool. A nice addition if you're troop building Sharkticons or just want a different sized one. Overall better than TR, but TR has better articulation. Cyberverse also has a more G1 vibe with the deco and pasty eyes. At $12 from Wally, I recommend him ;)^

I didn't recognize the song at all, but I wouldn't trust my memory on that. Where's Scramjet when you need him?

He's here. And he knows the things!

Hunger, by Spectre General is the song. Which your video above is playing.

That's a pretty cool can-digging grill-cracking thing you bought.

That is why I rubbed your lamp and summoned you 8-)

Spectre General, is that the Surgeon's General arch enemy?

News Credits: 15 · by **galvatron00** » Thu Jan 16, 2020 9:29 am

I was thinking 007's arch enemy.

Or a final boss.

Ah yes, that too could be it also as well.

All I know is, It's my need for speed that gives me the will to survive.

I mean, when I see what I want I'm gonna take it, and if it's against the law, you can bet I'll break it.

But, that's just me.

Need to feed. Hunger, Cobotron. Not Days of Thunder, or Top Gun.

Hahaha, very nice :APPLAUSE:

You know I've only seen TF:TM twice. The first time was the last time it was remasted on DVD a year or so ago then again after that, but in the theaters. My expectations were probably too high on the first time as it was underwhelming, but I don't have a fancy home setup. In the theater it was a completely different experience, an epic rock and roll fantasy space adventure! :michaelbay:

Even Mrstheone enjoyed it.

So hopefully it will get more theater showings.

I can't believe that.

That you didn't see the movie until the most recent remaster (30th anniversary) and then in the theater! It's very hard to believe. I guess it's been such a constant in my life since 1986 it boggles the memory banks.

Believe it yo. Besides not like I haven't said as much several times. By the time the movie came out I don't think TF was on the air where I lived or I have just moved on. I remember seeing the newer toys in the wishbook or maybe at school, but was completely ignorant to the movie until much much later.

The movie is so ubiquitous (especially in the fandom) I was already familiar with all the beats. So it was fun to watch it all play out in order. The whole movie was like "oh I remember that!" On the big screen with a booming sound system is the only way to go. 8-)

The reality is that in '89 I got really into video games and everything else just became invisible; toys, tv, movies, pop culture, homework - everything. Not really much different now.

*Yes I know the movie came out in '86, but three years is eons for a kid. If it wasn't in my radar by then, it wasn't going to be.

FEED?! Really? All these 30 some years I thought it was speed.
:lol:

It makes way more sense of course.

Recently I caught the 1960 version via RiffTrax, that **** was gold ;)^

Both the differences and similarities from the 1986 version were pretty amazing and fun. The biggest differences being the 1960 version wasn't a musical and the ending. Other than those, most of the beats are the same. So I guess I was watching Little Shop of Horrors instead of TF:TM :-?

EDIT: I also found 1960's Seymour fairly unlikable.

Might as well drop this the unedited version here.

I tried my damnedest to get Minmus to hold Rung, but it wasn't happening. Couldn't balance, no neck movement, no articulation - it wasn't going be a thing. :lol:
