The plastic just looks shoddy. Like, the texture is off.

I'll just wait for PE to fix him

That's cool D-Max, never played with a 3D printer but...

...that's how 3D printed plastic is Shaj. At least your Galvatron looks cooler without the face mask thanks to the extra paint apps!!

That is true.... it's almost good enough to go solo, which is how I have him now actually.

Anyways, this was brought to me today!

I want that Roller so badly

Sunsurge broke last night.

Awesome about displaying him sans mask Shaj, that's what I'm doing now (if you check my recent thread posts).

No way!! He's not supposed to break, Spinout is!!

It was totally my fault. I pushed his roof the wrong way.

P.S. - Click the picture, then click the button!

The question I have for you now is, do you start disassembling BOTH and make the ULTIMATE Sunstreaker?!

Densh! That blows! Is it fixable?

shajaki wrote:Densh! That blows! Is it fixable?

Maybe. I haven't attempted yet. The good news is that Surgio will still hold together just fine in robot mode.

My hauls from the weekend! Blurr, Skullcruncher, Wheelie, Stripes, and Rewind.

Blurr and Wheelie. Sweet monkey are they awesome. I was already drooling over Legends Blurr (even pre-ordered) but I couldn't wait. He is unfreaking believable. Both modes are perfect, he's posable, and he's not stifled by the HM gimmick. And Wheelie, you'll never love a figure of a character you hate more than this. Titans fit in him even!

No QC issues either!

Very nice Shaj!! I'm getting more and more excited for picking up Hardhead and Blurr the next time I see them, and TOTES getting Wheelie!!

See! You don't need a badass paint job to be a badass!

Blurr is my favorite of the line so far as well. He is a great mold!

YOU HATE WHEELIE?! We are now mortal enemies Shajaki.
Shajaki's hate is nothing to appreciate!

Right?! Hasbro seems to have put more effort into Lio than they did Computron

I agree and find that very odd. Nomatter what Hasbro did with Liokaiser, he would always feel halfway there since they would be using the scramble city system they have in CW but Computron is a Scramble City bot. They could have done a really good job with him. They could have at least given new heads.

In really hate being so down on this guy all because of his head gimmick and cannon placement, but I am. At the end of the day, I don't feel as if I got my money's worth. Fairly certain he is eBay bound.

I feel he is very much worth what I spent. But what I spent was $17 US. And at that price, I have no regrets. I like his transformation and his modes (even the jet mode which doesnt hinder anything). The only thing that I feel sucks is the effect of the headmaster with that mask. That was a clear misfire. But aside from that I feel this is a great take on Galvatron and I am happy to own him.

The plastic is shoddy, thats what you get with 3-d printers. They layer on the plastic so you end up with a piece that isnt smooth.

So in the end, it all worked out and you get your TR figures before I did. They still havent shipped from TRU.ca.

I'm just happy you got your figures. I cant wait for Wheelie!

I did order from TRU, but only Galvatron and Sweeps cause that's all I thought I was buying from Hasbro. But then I realized, new heads

That struggle

So real!

You getting that Cyclonus Armada set? The start off price was surpisingly 80$. Not the best, but better than all the others so far.

I noticed that Hasblurr was missing something important that Takara's had, an insignia in bot mode! It's kind of annoying because there's actually a blank spot underneath the windshield specifically for a symbol, and its juuusst small enough to not fit my smallest reprolabel. Regardless, I think it helps

Much mo betta shaj!

I was wondering if some of the tiny raised symbols would work there..

Also, I bet he gets a sticker from one of those Hasbro Asia exclusive sticker set things that I've heard about

Waitaminute. I HAVE the Reprolabels for him! I just haven't picked Blurr up yet

Whatareyouwaitingfor?!

Cramnanigans aside, today even though I have four Sweeps inbound from TRU.ca, I figured what the hell, the more the merrier!





I gotta say, I like Hasbrohead better. Grey is nicer than brown, solid black arms, and faceplates rock

shajaki wrote:I gotta say, I like Hasbrohead better. Grey is nicer than brown, solid black arms, and faceplates rock

He's pretty great. Something tells me he isnt the only Hasbro product you preffer over takara, I am refering to a certain Vortex

Seeing you post him everywhere makes me very happy i was able to find him back when we thought these wouldnt come back. And that is a Hasbro toy I love a lot too. He's a great example of Hasbro going a different route and going all in with it. I really love those rainbow colours down his chest which simulate the G1 vortex stickers.

I feel Hardhead is like that too. Hasbro giving their all on a toy.

CRAMNANIGANS?!



Also, I hope to be getting Blurr and Hardhead today!! We will see if Walmart still has them. I mean, I did BUY figures the last time I was there, so that should trigger re-stocking..right?!

I'm gonna start calling you Kobra Shaja-kai, you got enough sweeps to take out some legs.
