What?

Megatron - the awful color scheme and fairy green wings

Cliffjumper - His head wasn't remolded ,and the car design is the same. He looks more like a Bumblejumper repaint.

Astrotrain - The train mode is really flawed. The shuttle has bullet train kibble to the sides.

You could've given them away... I certainly would've taken 'em. :grin:

Yeeeeeaaah but for all practical intents and purposes they're the same guy -- or at least similar enough that it's not really worth arguing about.

One is the cartoon form of the other. And with the number of different G1 canons "different stories" don't matter,

Same guy.

They're different freakin' characters. Different name, different stories. That's like me trying to say a couple of twins are the same dude, because their backstory doesn't matter, and even though they have different names and personalities, they're the same dude. Different characters. THE END.

One is the cartoon version of the other. Just like G1 Convoy is the same guy as G1 Optimus Prime whose the same guy as the comic's Optimus Prime who'se the same as the manga's Convoy whose the same as Masterpeice Convoy.

Different stories, Same guy. Finito.

I do not Hasbro Bash, but this is definitely a knock against Aaron Archer and Hasbro:

TRANSFORMERS VOYAGER ON HOLD?!?!?!?

HasbroSuXX0rOMGLOL have announced that the neo-G1 Transformers Voyager series will be put on hold due to concerns about the fan reaction to photographs of the line. Their diligent lackey Aaron Archer takes up the story: -

"HasbroSuXX0rOMGLOL have said they're very worried about the fandom's reaction to the first wave of figures. With Armada, Energon and Cybertron, the figures were slated, and went on to sell very, very well. For voyager, the fans seem to love them, and that's probably going to be very bad from sales, because most of these people are idiots, and our main target demographic is the less fickle, smarter 8 to 10 year olds."

Aaarcher's limiter chip then kicked in, but WWT was able to wrestle his designer carbon-fibre briefcase from him, and lock him in a handy stationary cupboard. The briefcase's contents were as follows: -

- Around 32 pages of shredded newspaper
- Four Sugar Puff and Chocolate sandwiches
- A piece of Hello Kitty notepaper, detailing the revised Voyager Wave 1 toyline

Optimus Prime's mould will be fattened up for the line, and have a new gimmick of a small button that totally ruins either mode for no readily apparent reason. Rodimus and Starscream will be reworked into a combining robot named Botcon (to keep some fans happy). Astrotrain will now be a redeco of the Mini-Con Space team. Hasbro have decided the new Megatron figure is chunky and ugly enough to remain unchanged. HasbroSuXX0rOMGLOL hope to have fans' dreams comprehensively crushed well before the figures begin shipping.

this shite is completely hilarious!!! :lol:

INFILTRATION #5 - IS IT OUT?

Plucky Little IDW comics have thrown fandom into confusion as comic buyers attempt to work out whether the latest issue of Infiltration has been released or not. Subscribers report opening empty envelopes around the world, while Diamond have shipped a number of empty boxes to retail outlets. It is widely believed that Plucky Little IDW and veteran Transformers writer Simon Furman, 97, have taken the only possible direction following the non-events of the previous five four five four issues, and produced a comic that is so lacking in substance it cannot be detected to the naked eye, and has an atomic weight of zero.

Several fans have posted reviews of the comic, though these are difficult to quantify. Former comedian Neil Stuke noted "The problem is that nothing at all has happened in the preceding issues, so it's very hard to tell whether these reviews are faked or not." Diamond Publishing have insisted that the issue has indeed shipped on time, but that customers may have either forgotten they purchased it due to its' groundbreaking pointlessness.

An attempt to gain clarification from Plucky Little IDW's diligent lackey Chris Ryall was inconclusive, as when asked to comment by WWT, he simply waved a Transformers The War Within Stormbringer wallpaper at us while singing "We're not Pat Lee so you love us!", while dressed like a fat chick at an Anime convention

I wonder if he does dress like a fat chick, having not been to any convention..???

Haha, are you serious? I guess I'd prefer them assembled, but beggars can't be choosers.

By the way, what moved you to disassemble them in the first place? I'm a bit curious, as my only real problems with the figures were Megs's lack of a right hand and the fact that Prime's legs don't collapse in for the truck mode (and given how the kneepads would fit perfectly around the button on his back if the legs did collapse, I'm convinced that this was part of the original design). You weren't by any chance attempting to rectify these flaws, were you?

well, i've used parts for some kb's, that are all still in the works. so i guess i really can't give them to you. but hey, if i see one for a few bucks tomorrow i'll be thinking about you.
i used parts of megs and op's head for a fallen kb that needs some touching up and painting, and a few other parts here and there.

My biggest issue? I want a bigger Astrotrain. His glory cannot be found in a deluxe. I want a Voyager...

Or bigger
