That was a great version of the character, Logan! Man, Animated had some fun stuff..

Sure was. It's such a shame that it was cut short. :-x

We interrupt these comments for this special news bulletin:

I'm so freakin excited about this. I mean, I was 99.3% sure it would happen, but still. I'm bummed that his hands and feet aren't the same aqua/whatever that the HFG's he was packaged with, but I can deal. Someone put er up for pre-order already!

Not specifically about that set, but I am very intrigued about the new hand design (compared to the first PE set of tubey fingers) for Victorion. The silvery Bruticus one may have to be purchased, at some point... :-?

Nice pick up on Wreck-Gar, fun little guy to just toss around different shelves taking what ever weapons he pleases.

Argh, G2asor looks so good, especially with that PE set. I just need to stop screwing around and ship my stack with my PE handsie and footsie sets.

I'm excited to see your mix and matched Comprimer.

If you guys think that a G2 Menasor kit is cool, check out this:

Before this, I was considering getting Takara Fort Max so I could have the sword. Well, not anymore.

You're looking to replace Vic's hands and feet? I mean, maybe the hands, but I think the new feet they gave her are quite suitable. And PE's feet are dangerously close to comically big even on the Dudebiners.

Huh? You mean my Thunderclash?
Yeah I'm pretty jacked about it. And now he's going to be a little cheaper now that I know I won't have to buy a G2asor set for the aqua hands/feet. Guess I'll just be using the greys that come with the white Battle Core set.

There was a teaser image which showed both Max and Cerebros Fortress with swords, so probably.

I get one for the first unread post on a thread, and don't get any new ones for that thread until I visit the thread in question.

I did see that Master Sword, Autobot N! Saves me the decision making to just get the Hasbro if I don't end up with the SDCC one.

For me though, the only "mold/color difference" thing I really want out of the TR/TL Fortress Maximus is for the headmaster and the transtector to look like Fortress in Headmasters. Which probably means the Takara Legends one. So I'd end up with the TL Master Sword..

But dang that PE sword looks awesome..

I prefer the look of the Hasbro one because of Cerebros and Blue-eyed Max, so the PE set with the sword is good for me.

Awesome idea, I've been wanting to branch out myself. I may set that as my home page ;)^

Actually I got a little pro tip to share that I've been using for years. I learned this trick when Firefox was my go to browser Once I joined team Android, Chrome became my go to browser.

Anyway I've setup several quick searches I can do from my address bar: for example I have a figure search setup here on Seibertron.

From my address bar I type "fig" *space* and my search query - "fig starscream"

"http://www.seibertron.com/toys/index.php?f_series_id=&f_subgroup=&f_name=starscream&f_type=exact&Submit=Search"

This can be setup for almost any site that has a built-in search engine. There's more to it than this, but basically use their search then replace the search query in the results with %s.

"http://www.seibertron.com/toys/index.php?f_series_id=&f_subgroup=&f_name=%s&f_type=exact&Submit=Search"

There are different ways to setup for Firefox and Chrome (pretty sure IE cannot, cause its lame anyways) and I'm not sure about any other browser.

Here is an older how-to from lifehacker. You may have to search around or just figure out the new settings, but the basic instructions still apply.

http://lifehacker.com/5476033/how-to-se ... gle-chrome

I have a ton of these setup, more than I can remember actually. Its good stuff for a quick IMDB, Ebay, Wiki, game review or relevant to our fav hobby figure searches.

Oh Carecare... that might've been helpful to lots of people, but not someone who's borderline computer illiterate like me :lol:

No one can do it all. You stick to the MPs and I'll stick to browser tweaks ;)^

You two

It was a damn good day for Transformers yesterday! First off, my fellow Canadian Bro WillyJay nabbed me some Brutilimbs (thanks again!!), and at collector store (of sorts) I found Skylynx and Leader Skywarp! Oh, and a MP Hotrod coin!
