Ah. I didn't know we were looking at the WHOLE wave of all figure classes combined! I'd even throw Gnaw in there before Hot Rod like 'Bee said

See, I'm excited for Gnaw, but he's below Hot Rod. I wish they would have kept the upper head on the back instead of the legs. It looks really weird and I'm not a fan

i heard that one is even tighter.

i was gonna end with skywarp but i think i might get the coneheads too.

That's awesome and sad, I have TRU MP Thundercracker, Walmart MP Starscream, and Walmart MP Skywarp currently. I don't think I'll ever part ways with them, maybe just supplement them in the collection. For starters, I just recently purchased a TRU MP Acid Storm on eBay, and I'm kinda looking for the TRU MP Sunstorm for the right price ($70 or less shipped). As of right now, I'm leaning more towards Yes Model Bitstream and BB7 Hotlink if I don't pick up Yes Model Starscream. I wouldn't mind the Coneheads, I have G1 Ramjet and Thrust (along with G1 Skywarp) but I don't think I need THAT many jets unless I'm going all jets all the time

Well dang. I wouldn't mind having three Gnaws! One in bot, one in alt, one chomping on a Titan Master

Transformers Robots in Disguise warrior Bumblebee.

Awesome.

From my good friend carytheone!! That's a link to the haul post, a few posts up from this one

Okay, where'd he get them?

Back when the Combiner Wars first started I'm pretty sure

Curses! I'll have to keep searching.

Yup, got 'em new at retail in the way back machine. Good luck on that search

Had to steal Hellbat from Liokaiser, but daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang having multiple combiners is pretty awesome!! Unfortunate that there wasn't ONE MORE Decepticon "Outlier". Oh crap. Grand Galvatronus has ALL of the Outliers!! Dang it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or even someone from the TFCC!!!!! Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap!!!



So maybe I'll buy one of them too.

I love that look with the TR Galvs cannon. Nice job!

And yes, get one more Cram! I had to when I had an odd number thanks to a Prowl I got that I already had, so I just bought 3 more to make sure the combiner worked!

you know youre gonna get that galvatron

I may end up with something from somewhere. I'll see what I can scrounge up.

Bumblebee21 wrote:you know youre gonna get that galvatron

No way. I'm tired of spending a lot on figures I feel like I need to go back to my roots and keep things under $100. That may eliminate a lot of things, but I can't have everything!

You know, I said to myself this morning while getting dressed; "sometimes you just have to suck it up and wear the socks you don't like."

Truuuuuuuuuuuuuth!!

I think it's about time I update some photos of a bot I picked up from one of our fellow 'Former Fan, Ironhidensh!

Lately, other than Jetrons getting my attention, I've been thinking on what I want to focus on with my collection. For the year, unless some crazy announcements come out, I think I'm finished with MPs. MP Acid Storm and MP Sunstorm are in the mailbox as I write this, and as much as I want to I'm not gonna pick up any more 3rd party filler bots. MP Megatron does look awesome, but for $200 + shipping compared to getting Apollyon for $150 shipped in 2015 I just don't want to do it. I picked up MP Acid Storm and MP Sunstorm for $60 a piece shipped, so missing out on them at TRU was fine in the end.

TL:DR, I want to focus on playability. I want a durable figure that is fun to play with in both modes. Posable in bot mode, sturdy in alt mode (Apollyon is the exception, I have CW leader Megatron for fun times in both modes ). I want more figures like Generations Drift, or Generations Springer, MP Wheeljack, heck, even RiD Bumblebee. Solid figures, satisfying transformations, and that I can bring with me.

TL:DR all of that..

Here's Generations Drift!! Shout out to Ironhidensh again!!

RYU HAYABUSA!!



He's super dynamic. And stoic!

Awesome!

I have the United version. An amazing figure, to be sure. Just be careful not to mess up the sword, mkay?

Awesome Cram! I got him back in May off Ebay, and he is a pretty great figure!

The only thing I'd say I wish he had was an A-stance set of feet. I don't like how close his legs are together. Makes just standing him comfortable a bit of a nightmare for me (I don't like my figures to wobble baby wobble baby wobble)

You do?! NOICE!! More of a "pure" white, right? Different katakana? Those swords are entirely too flimsy for their own good though..

I remember when you picked him up!! Lots of out and about photos

No A-stance feet for me, I'd want ankle rockers! It seemed like it took forever to get him into that dash stance I had him in.

I think so? And yeah, I wish they were just a little bit more sturdy. And ankle tilts would've made him perfect, but I'm not sure how it would work.

Aw hot damn, dem some nice pics Cram!

Ninja Gaiden FTW, and by win I mean that game always wins cause its so hard

Gen Drift is such a cool and fun figure. He probably looks the coolest in stoic poses just being a badass, buy then again I do that with all my figures. I've also enjoyed all his comic appearances as well.

Deadlock?

Deadlock is a must! He could pull off more Ryu Hayabusa stuff just on looks!!

Wow. It's been a while. What is going on?!

So you may or may not know, I'm on an RiD kick right now. If not, I'm on an RiD kick. Fun figures, not expensive, lets me focus on other things

Thanks to HTS I picked up a few on sale and a new new!


I'm a fan of the underneath weapons storage too!!


I did floor polish Sideswipe, he still needs more. This is how he was transported this morning


And here's my almost full Team Bee!! I do want the voyager Grimlock, and I guess I'll need Drift's minicons and sure, why not Fixit too!


Decepticons will be purchased. Reprolabels have been ordered!!

Legion Fixit is amazing and you will not be disappointed!

Nice Alpine Drift by the way. Was thinking of getting him, but I have the standard orange

Ah, so LEGION is the one I want. Thanks D-Max!!

Since I didn't have RiD Drift yet, it was between Alpine or Blizzard. I went with Alpine, and I'll have him with Generations Drift at some point

I'm pretty happy with these guys. Shout out to theOneCary for the hookup of Bumblebee!

itscramtastic wrote:Shout out to theOneCary for the hookup of Bumblebee!

Thanks, I try

Yes, in all our RiD talk, I forgot all about Fixit until last night when I took a pic. Yeah he is a must! He is like a deluxe/warrior class figure scaled down. The only bad thing I have to say about the mold is I wish he had claw hands instead of drill hands, but that's it.

If you are going to go Drift's minicons, go Takara. Just a much better paint job, but you'll pay twice the price for one and less for the other, cause let's be honest here - that deployer is pretty bad.

Yes, Cons must be had Errybody, start a top list of warrior RiD Cons for Cramallama

Cracks Knuckles

Of the ones I own, they are, in order with the best at the top (excluding minicons: too many to work with):

Warrior Thunderhoof
Warrior Fracture
Warrior Bisk
Warrior Quillfire
Legion Groundpounder
Warrior Megatronus
Warrior Paralon
Legion Clampdown
Legion Underbite
Warrior Starscream
Warrior Steeljaw

D-Maximus_Prime wrote:a mixed media list

I said warrior , but legion Clampdown's size works for me, but I wouldn't mind a warrior class. I'll also add that 1 step Springload to that list, but my warrior list goes:

Fracture
Starscream
Quillfire
Thunderhoof
Steeljaw

I skipped Megy for two reasons, already owned and I don't really care for that mold. I also don't own Bisk so I cannot speak for that one. I'd love to see a voyager Underbite as well.

As far as minicons go, I recommend just Fracture's and Drift's from the show and Ransack. The rest are fine and dandy, but it's very much a YMMV kind of a deal.

I felt there were some other guys other than warriors that needed mentioned. Springload is pretty awesome but I can't wait to get the legion guy. He looks frikkin amazing!

Also can't wait for Bludgeon. Now that guy looks killer!
