And I'm pretty sure - self-inviting here (self-inVa'alting?) - that I am the furthest aways. So far away I say furthest and not farthest. That's very far. And toooooootally makes sense.

Self invite away! I have Carol King playin' in my head now...

Itscram! You need to update the map to include GB and Italy stat!

Will you be bringing any pets or Alpha Bravo...I am sure he would love a transatlantic crossing plenty of photo ops.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! Are we gonna travel by map too?! Who's where?!

C - Saw you picked up Divebomb. What do you think so far?
I went back for Dragonus today. He might be my fav, but all these lil guys are super neat. the energon beast is super cool. Everybody keeps calling him a wolf, but I see saber tooth tiger all the way.
I really dig the animal minis. I always love giving bigger bots a familiar.

Edit: Our banter is getting ridiculous. I TOTALLY THOUGHT I WAS POSTING THIS IN THE COLLECT-O-TRON!
sorry D

Awesome!

My inner monologue reading read the first paragraph: "What innahamsandwhich is this joker talkin' 'bout"?

Ridiculous banter or the onset of 40....

P.S. I can't sleep so continuing to watch the Japanese series going through headmasters first so far so good. Looking forward the other 2 esp Victory.

Then, Cobs and Shaj I will get all existential and watch Beast Wars...and then who knows.

Hey, I just woke up!
Time to go supervise another wedding. No robots there.

..unless I bring one..

I had Cosmos come along today. Bless, been in a box for too long.

I really like him. I really wanted Slipstream, but they were out and DB was my second choice anyway. I wanted to just test the waters. He is super cool and I love all his accessories. Really a steal for $5.24 after tax.

After your pic of Sawback I wanna be a copy cat and pick one for Strongarm.

Dragonus eh? Hmmm, that one didn't appeal to me but you have good taste. If you don't mind, drop some pics in the collect o tron to convince me. I'm going go on a hunt today for some mo.

Fracture really caught my eye. I may have to nab one of those too.

Speaking of getting confused about which thread we're on. I'm starting to do the same thing and then I had to go and open two more

I'm a HUGE FAN of Headmasters (it's my ringtone, that guitar riff is the SICKNESS!!) and Super God Masterforce!! Watched Victory once, that was enough for me. I still go back and re-watch HM and SGMF.

Need to order Cupola soon. Real soon.

Nice that the wedding venue? Even if it's not it looks like a nice place.

Cosmos had a stellar time I assume?

He is a good looking figure! When you do get him I might have to make my way to the DMV for an up close and personal with Cupola LOL.

I am going to keep with the FP head masters, been contemplating their Mindwipe and Weirdwolf.

That it was, Dragon Hall in Norwich. Cosmos was ok, he chilled on the office desk most of the day as I ran about frantically.


Speaking of Headmasters stuff - how about them Titan Wars rumours, huh? More Headmasters coming mebbe?

That is a cool looking venue. Was it a Hobbit wedding at the Green Dragon?
What were you (and Cosmos) doing there Va'al? How many jobs do you have? You must have a huge head, because you wear a lot of hats.

I for one, am very excited to learn more about this rumored next line of TFs. It's interesting that it's taken this long to resurrect these old and awesome gimmicks.

I am totally stoked for the Titan wars stuff! I am very excited at the prospect of an updated Fortress Maximus and other various headmasters although I am sure the Titan wars will lead to Headmaster Hostilities...in the IDW-verse which I am not against as long they don't call it another war...

Yeah, I'll give you that: the War titles have run their course. Marvel did it yonks ago and is doing it again, I think we'll be ok without using it in TFverse too.

That said - Titan Wars has a decent ring to it. If it is an actual thing, of course.

I like the sound of Titan Wars as well. Seems like with the possible Fort Max and the rumored Blaster they are moving towards play sets.

Even though I have no personal history with headmasters I'm excited for the possibility of the line. I really enjoyed Gen Brainstorm and I'm looking forward to a titan Fort Max (if that is a real thing). Is there a specific name for that double headmaster action?

Honestly I would rather a voyager/leader sized Max like in MtMtE, but I missed Gen Metroplex, so either works for me.

The other question I have is if the toy line is heading towards "Titan Wars", are the comics heading that way as well?

The playset direction is intriguing to me as well esp if we get an updated fort max; I am golden in the voyager/leader class size with Warden.

I would say yes to your last question, the comics are the main outlet for selling these toys right now...There are no commercials and only 1 or 2 cartoons in production; none of which handle CW. Plus Hasbro has licensed IDW to create the comics; which of course means they get a say in how they are developed at some level.

I love a toy line that promotes modularity and interchangeability. I've always had a weakness for toys that have little figures that can fit in vehicles and populate battle stations. If they do this line right, I well be dumping my money all over it...oh ...wait... I've done that all of this year too.

The comic as support seems to be a formula that's working well. I don't see why they wouldn't do it for Titan Wars. Maybe the factions will split again and the battle between and will start a new, hence the need for the titan gimmick.

Edit: Donny - there is a CW web based cartoon coming.

Yes, Cobs I did forget that. I am actually looking forward to that, hoping it is good.

Hi everyone! My first full week of work is down after vaca...but that and feeling under the weather have kept me out of the loop this past week. I abhor insurance claim forms...I digress. I have been feeling better since last night and decided to play with the next figure in my PoL .

(Soar) Swoop!

The only issue I have with guy right out of the box is that I did not get the instructions or collector card. No problem, I contacted BBTS and the quickly shipped out instructions for....Scoria . Oh well I sent them a message to see if they can send me the correct instructions this next week. I am sure they will.

Instructions have not kept me from enjoying this guy though!

Them 3p dino guys look awesome. Them seem to be everything someone could want from an MP Dinobot.

Cary the FT dinobots are ringin' all the bells in the MP dinobot arena for me...

And because I couldn't resist...here are some pics of (Sever) Snarl ...






















Still have a Warbotron figure, the Protectobot limbs, and SoundBlaster to mess with.

DINOTASTIC!

Swoarp looks great, and good job tackling that guy sans instructions.
You got the touch!

Hope you're feeling better D.

Looking good Donny , nice pics too

I don't think ill ever get MP Dinobots just havent got the space , I'm just gonna have to admire yours mate

Thanks Geno! It sounds like you'll have to be added to the play date invite list along with the rest of the gang (see previous posts).

Itscram: have you updated that map yet? We need to add AG to it.
