...uh... was there a point in there somewhere?

How can people be posting things that they have never realised their Transformers can do? If they have never realised it, then they still don't know about it, and cannot be talking about it. Rather, these are things they have just realised.

As an example, until recently I never realised what bothered me about this thread, but having just realised what it was, I cannot say that anymore.

........................So what? It's just for fun, highlighting thing other members didn't know about

Hit the deck! it's the Grammar Police!

Apologies, folks. Wasn't intending to be taken too seriously, was just trying to poke some gentile fun. (And I am sure that if my own writing was to be examined closely, plenty of grammar issues could be found... and, of course, don't even start on my spelling!)

I should try and remember more that when conveying things in text, you don't get the hints you get (such as vocal inflection and the like) when speaking to help get across if the intent of what is being said is meant to be tongue in cheek. (Although I did try to hint at that with the winking smiley.)

Ah, well.

Well, you could post your discoveries here too ya know. I'm not sure alot of people know about Star Convoy's "Roller"

Dude, the title for this thread originally had TRANSFORMERS spelled TANSFORMERS. Took about 90 pages 'til someone pointed it out and I went and edited to the correct version. so, y'know, things could be a lot worse. :p

It's a small improvement that makes the figure look about 1/4 to 1/2 inch taller. Nice!

Heh, this was pointed out in the first page of this thread! Seems to be something a lot of people don't notice.



I was messing about with Generations/RTS Wreck-Gar earlier today and I noticed that, if you keep his blade-stick-of-death attached to the rear wheel during transformation, he can actually crouch down in robot mode, grab the weapon handle and detach it from the wheel. Which I find to be SERIOUSLY awesome.

Well, this response does make me feel better about my earlier post, as this response feels kind of in the jesting spirit I'd intended. Still, I think I shall move past it...

First of all, nice to see one of my reviews referenced.

Secondly, I didn't really think I had any "discoveries" of my own... but if you think that may be a worthy addition, then...

(ahem)

Hey, did you guys know that Star Convoy has his own version of Roller? That section on his rear that has the motorized treads, if you yank it off, you get this:



His very own (very wide and very flat) Roller!

looks like a much more useful roller as it can handle heavy machinery. The original roller was built for fleshlings. PUNY FLESHLINGS, DEATH IS FOR KIDS!

Frankly that could work as a launch platform for other figures

Wow! Chalk me up as one of the folks who never realized this. Awesome!

I read your review on this guy and pointing out the Roller made me want this.
!?!WHY!?! did I pass on him in previous years past!?!

Oh, wow... Now I feel really dumb. It has been a long, long time since I looked at page two of this behomoth thread, and quite possible at the time (since I came into the thread a tad late) I was only skimming the earlier pages for posts with pics of the things just realised.

So... The latest thing I've just realised is that I am redundant!

By the way, sir, every time I see your signature, I feel an intense urdge to cuddle that adorable bit of fluffyness sitting between Optimus and Rodimus there. (I have some friends who until recently had a bunny named Hoptimus Prime, although she sadly recently passed away.)

Didn't this thread get it's name because OTHER people realise it and tell you and that you realise it because of that? Like someone show you something and you go 'OH! I never realised Smokscreen has ankles!'.

I think we can all agree that it sounds better than "Things Your Transformer Can Do That You Didn't Know Possible Until You Recently Discovered So"

I discovered thst RID Prime becomes 40% better if you throw his gun into a fire.

Clearly this is YET ANOTHER feature that Hasbro somehow left out of the instructions.

But RID Prime needs that to make wheels so the "cab" of the firetruck doesn't tip over if you've detached it from the rest of the firetruck!

(Unless you meant PRID Prime, yeah, that gun can die in a fire!)

And PRID Bulkhead can become an excellaint figure if you also throw him into the fiery burning pits of damnation

And PRID Starscream can stare at his own crotch!

I believe that PRID Bulk is a very satisfactory substitute for those who don't want to spend the big bucks for FE lol

I agree, he's much better than I was expecting.

He IS a big bundle of cuddliness! Sadly, he doesn't transform.

Hoptimus Prime, classic!

See, Action Masters have tons of play value after all.

Hoptimus Prime was also the name of one of the beers in Fable 2. It's description reads: This is as good as beer gets. Transform yourself into a drunken pillar of health and strength with this superhuman brew.
