Cram are you passing on Magentawave? :shock:

News Credits: 15 · Mon Apr 25, 2016 9:40 am

I can't pass on what I already have!! :lol:

After watching a few episodes of G1 S1 and TF:TM this morning, he's definitely not as dark as he should be. And that's from my calibrated Panasonic plasmatoov (that I calibrated myself when I had the gear from a previous jorb ;)^

). He DEFINITELY shouldn't be as dark as his G1 toy, but someone pointed out the color of the Robot Heroes one from my picture in the Shockwave thread and I think that's accurate.

I also want a blurple Galvatron. Yesterday.

If you scour the eBay, you'll notice some MP Star Saber's for close to $100 USD shipped, they are apparently KO!!

To quote Prowl from G1S1 The Ultimate Doom Part 3, "Ask and you shall receive!"

KO on the eBay!

Cancelled my MP Optimus Primal pre-order. He can't replace my Optimal Optimus, which is where he'd be displayed anyway. So, Cobotron, I know what you mean and where you are coming from :-D

Maybe I should invest in Generations Rhinox and Rattrap, I think they'd look good with Optimal :-D

Generations Jetfire will be here tomorrow. He's gonna be my Jetfire until a PROPER MP Jetfire is made. I mean, I have G1 and Classics, why not Generations right? That damn ReproLabels set is tempting for him..

Let's see..what else..

Even though MP Shockwave isn't the right purple, he's still the right MP Shockwave (not Cloud9 Quakeblast or FANSTOYS Quakewave..side note: I find it HILARIOUS that people think Cloud9 "stole the Quakewave designs", like there's ANOTHER WAY to make Shockwave look EXACTLY like he did in the cartoon :lol:

).

MP Ratchet will arrive Monday!!

MP 2.0 Reximus Prime "animation colors" (AKA KO Oversize MP Grimlock) is lost in shipping from TF-Direct. Apparently a bunch were lost from TF-Direct after the China Post got a hold of them. I'm guessing it's one of the ones on eBay right now :lol:

Their email response to me included a statement. "Could you be more patient?"

I defer to Cobotron for my ninja-patience training.

I agree with everything in that last post. CARRY ON! :lol:

News Credits: 15 · Fri Apr 29, 2016 3:00 pm

Well thanks Cobro ;)^

there was a lot of thoughts floating around in that last post!

Will Jetfire be your first figure of that mold? I like it a lot and his size works great with deluxe and voyager class figs.

A fun if not a little complex here and there with a sexy as hell alt mode.

I fiddled with Shocky for a few seconds at the con of bots and thought he was just tops. I didn't have an issue with the color and would have never had an issue if a thing hasn't been made of it (actually still don't have an issue). Cool fig and that discounted open box one they had was super tempting.

Have you boys seen the TR Hot Rod that just got splashed on the front page?

News Credits: 15 · Fri Apr 29, 2016 5:48 pm

Yes it will be my first experience with the mold!! I'll have to get out the other Jetfire's for a group selfie

Shockwave is awesome. Once I battery him up, he'll be awesomer!

TITANS RETURN HOT ROD IS REAL!!!!!!

Another bro passing on MP Monkee? :-(

Jetfire is nice, nicer than the haters would have you believe. In have him and TCracker and I'm very happy with both.

Not only is TR Roddy real, but real awesome looking.

Yeah, I don't understand the hate towards it (maybe besides the lack of wrist swivels and ankle tilts).

carytheone wrote:Not only is TR Roddy real, but real awesome looking.

Indeed. Not as cool as Doublecross or Megatron, but still pretty good looking.

Yeah put me on that short list as well, but for completely different reasons.

I have no issues with OP being a munky and I like new takes on old characters. He looks like a cool fig, but I'm just not a beastformer kinda guy.

News Credits: 15 · Fri Apr 29, 2016 6:01 pm

Yes Shaj, I am passing on him. He's not Optimal Optimus enough for me :lol

@cary: AWESOME

Yeah, I was never really a BW guy. I first found out about Transformers in 2011, and a lot of the stuff I did was look at TFWiki articles for older guys. Having seen mostly vehicle Transformers, I had a "What the heck is this crap?" kinda mentality about BW, but I've grown to like it somewhat over time.

And while I don't care about Primal, if they make an MP TM Tarantulas, then they'd get my attention.

As usual the first thing to come to mind is a song...

Side note, it was so hard to not stop at Third Man Records while I was cutting though Nashville after botcon. But I had a long way to go and a short time to get there.

I'm really excited about Doublecross and another Megaton, hopefully we get a G2 deco out of this one.

And Cary, nice music selections :-D

News Credits: 293 · Sat Apr 30, 2016 12:33 am

Yes. A proper green G2 tank Megatron is sorely needed. That classics deluxe would've been great if it weren't for the spinny thingy hand :???:

And I'm actually really jacked about Rod. At first I though the shoulders were a bit much, but now my head is just spinning about the ideas of Takara decos and black repaints 8-}

News Credits: 15 · Sat Apr 30, 2016 5:01 pm

That spinny hand thing WAS lame. What a waste.

Also, Black Rodimus FTW!!!!!

In other news, stuff and things happened.

Boy does that G1 Jetfire need some love. And young Cram paid no mind to actual sticker locations :lol:

News Credits: 131 · Sat Apr 30, 2016 5:23 pm

Jetfire is looking nice. I'd kill for that lighting, BTW.

How are you liking him? Did he live up to the hype? We're the haters right?

Last question, who is that shy guy on the left?

EDIT: Do a barrel roll!

News Credits: 42 · Sat Apr 30, 2016 6:01 pm

Yeesh. That G1 Jetfire's got more yellow than some Bumblebees.

News Credits: 15 · Sat Apr 30, 2016 6:57 pm

The Jetfire ARE looking nice! Well, except for Yellow McYellowson over there apparently (AUTOBOT N!!! Where's the "shakes fist" emoji?! :lol:

) Why does plastic yellow anyway? Science!!

Here's who the shy guy is:

Classics voyager Jetfire, based off of Don Figueroa's design from Stormbringer. I removed him from the sale thread, along with a few others.. ;)^

Also, I hope to be barrel rolling tonight!

And, Captain Toad should be fun. I loved the Captain Toad levels in Super Mario 3D World, so a whole GAME should be EPIC!
