Capitalism:

: an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market

Examples of CAPITALISM

Capitalism is at once far too rational, trusting in nothing that it cannot weigh and measure, and far too little as well, accumulating wealth as an end in itself. —Terry Eagleton, Harper's, March 2005
The United States has assumed a global burden—not just fighting terrorism and rogue states, but spreading the benefits of capitalism and democracy … —Brian Urquhart, New York Review Of Books, 9 Oct. 2003
The city was then the great maw of American capitalism. —Christopher Hitchens, Atlantic, August 2002
I am not the first to point out that capitalism, having defeated Communism, now seems to be about to do the same to democracy. The market is doing splendidly, yet we are not, somehow. —Ian Frazier, On The Rez, 2000
Even Cuba's famed health-care system has been unable to resist the siren song of capitalism. The Frank Pais Hospital … now offers “for pay” surgery to foreigners. —Ann Louise Bardach, Vanity Fair, March 1995

I cannot see this image, it just says "image", sorry guys!

[-Kanrabat-]

I prefer my TlDr version.

Okay I've had enough of this crap.

You either discuss Takara Tomy Legends figures or you take whatever topic you want to discuss to its own specific thread.

Getting real sick and tired of some of the **** from a couple of you that should know better.

[Sabrblade]

Takara's Armada Megatron looks so good that I might feel tempted to go for it. But then again, it's not a figure I really want that much anyway, so I'm torn.

[Wolfman Jake]

Robuts make me go nuts!

Takara's Armada Megatron is tempting, capturing the look of the character a little better with some rearranged paint apps, but why did they skimp on the orange highlights on his antlers? We can't even swap them with the Hasbro version, as those are completely orange on the final product. There's no way to achieve a "perfect" version without doing some after market paint modifications. Yeesh.

Not from what I've seen. Some others though...

I was wondering that too. I really like Takara's Armadatron, and he'd be puuurfect with a little orange on the antlers. It's a shame really

[Sabrblade]

I can live without the orange on his horns since the gray was always the more important color of the two.

I dont know what the fuss is all about. There's already a PERFECT Armada Megatron.

And it's this one:

Aw, it's nice to know my even tempered approach to Transformers fandom has been recognized and appreciated. You're making a wolfman blush!

Yeah, but I'd rather have a new "Classics" versions to go with Classics/Henkei Hot Shot and Generations Armada Starscream.

At least he poses a TEENY BIT BETTER.

Armada Megs is not a Kung-Fu master anyway. He don't really need ultra dynamic posig. Plus, he work perfectly well on a Classic shelf. As an Ultra, he's tall and beefy, but not too tall like a leader. Making him scale perfectly well with CHUG deluxes and the occasional voyager.

Yeah, but scale is not much of an issue with me, and I am more interested in the functionality than the size. I AM NOT EVEN PLANNING TO GET LEADER ARMADA MEGATRON ANYWAYS SO THE POINT IS MUTE. XD

If I get either of the Megatrons from this mold, it will be G1 style Megs, even though I am a HUGE fan of Armada.

WHY CAN"T I EVER SEE HIS IMAGES! I SEE EVERYONE ELSES, BUT NOT SHAJAKI'S!


I have to figure out what the image is by what other people comment. ;_;

[Burn]

It's something to do with your computer, possibly even internet provider. Please stop bringing it up. (Alternate answer, shajaki is just screwing with your head)
(Alternative solution, quote the person, copy and paste the url and see if that works. If it doesn't, at least you'll know what the error is)

'cause you know, totally off-topic and we actually have a thread for problems. ugh ... go explore the forums before you post more.

[shajaki]

*shrug*

I was complaining about Armadatron's lack of knees.

[DedicatedGhostArt]

Alright. I actually posted a picture on seibertron.com once and it showed up like that too, I know it is just my computer, but when I used a different method of uploading, it worked fine, so he may be doing the same thing I did. Anyways BACK ON TOPIC!

[-Kanrabat-]

*shrug*

I was complaining about Armadatron's lack of knees.

Yeah, that's the problem of the original mold. Why the hell they didnt gave him any knees for a supposed "leader" figure is baffling.

Still, I do have a spare scrap Armada Megs. Maybe it's time to do some experiments...

[megatronus]

I really, really like the CW Armada Megatron mold - more than enough to pick up the Tokyo Toy Show version.
