And they really were! Even the Gobots were the coolest thing ever. Even bad/ugly transforming things were amazing. It was like "YOU MEAN THIS THING TURNS INTO A ROBOT!?!?!?" :BOOM:

Like Cram said though, except for Wheelie. He will always just be an orange hot dog with a spoon jammed in his forehead.

Just a wannabe wienermobile :lol:

Speaking of, tell me this guy isn't a transforming wienermobile [-(

Love those comp pics Blue Cheese Crambles!!!!

Those are good on grilled steak =P~

Having some fun with MP Optimus today (the MP10 based one from TRU from years ago..2012?).

In the process of figuring out what MPs I want to keep. I think he's solidified his position in the "keep" section.

His arms are still too long though.....

The MP-10 mold is pretty fantastic, and that guy does look really cool!

MP Soundwave and Cassetticons? SAFE!!

News Credits: 3 · by **bodrock** » Tue Aug 01, 2017 10:48 am

Two of the best MPs EVER.

Which two?!

News Credits: 3 · by **bodrock** » Tue Aug 01, 2017 11:48 am

Optimus and Soundwave, of course! Those two were my faves, back in the day....

News Credits: 15 · by **galvatron00** » Tue Aug 01, 2017 12:27 pm

Ah, I see bodrock!! They are both dang solid MPs. Prowl and Wheeljack are definitely safe too. As is Shockwave I'm sure. And probably Ironhide and Ratchet.

That does leave a few out though...!

Hmmmmm.... I don't see thunder cracker, its okay if you want to sell him and get the ym version or wait for mt version

News Credits: 15 · by **galvatron00** » Tue Aug 01, 2017 12:55 pm

Scrap, Thundercracker too. And probably Starscream. And most likely Bumblebee..

Ok so 3 seekers, two Datsuns (one KO), two Bumblebees (one KO), one Corvette, 2 Rodimi, one Hot Rod, one Ultra Magnus.

All. Not. Safe!!

I would stay far far away from the seekers. If you really want a stars cream then go for maketoys starscream.

What's wrong with mp-21

Pssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh that's crazy talk. It is THE mold to have, if only to say "Why did I buy this figure 5 times?!" :lol:

Down to one. Takasa Tony MP18B Bluestreak.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?! I'm only getting rid of two because I have 3!! :lol:

MP21 is a great figure to take out on daily adventures. He's a super satisfying and fun transformation!! The gold one probably looks the best too,
even colors and such!!

What?! You no want Hasbro TRU MP9 Rodimus Prime?!........neither do I :lol:

I might just do BOGO with that guy, as parts will break eventually! I also only have one set of his guns. So there's that.

As much as I love Hot Rod, I seem to love the other figures I have more. What the funk?!

I think he's gonna pique all of the interest. Pique, BTW ;)^

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! MakeToys over the third MP version of the seekers whenever that comes out?! :lol:

Nothing wrong with MP21 Bumble, I just don't want 3.

Alrighty!!

I have a haul, and then Deskbots in Disguise.

Haul.

A few weeks ago I found warrior Thunderhoof at retail after not seeing him for who knows how long (basically, after the point I started collecting the RiD stuff). Now I have Fracture too!! Found at Walmart, they had one of him, one of the regular face Windblade, and then some of the "Combiner Force" branded warrior class figures. Reaaaaaaaaally digging him. He's in chopper mode on the desk right now. Those Alt Modes were on clearance for $3.50 a piece! Series 2. Those were the ones I wanted and they were easy to locate! Bluestreak can't stand up, and I think we know I'm pretty good at getting figures to balance.

And here's the MP Deskbots in Disguise for the day.

Thanks bodrock!! It's been fun bringing these figures in to the office. Transformers are my fidget spinners. :lol:

Cobotron wrote:Fracture is pretty dope, no?

He is!! Very stylish, satisfyingly quick transformation, his gun/exhaust looks a little funky but I reaaaaaaaaaaaally am enjoying this RiD line.

MP Sideswipe and MP Bluestreak are here today, I'll see if they want to hang with their Alt Modes :lol:

I also just noticed MP Sideswipe has very floppy elbows, and his dang KFC hands STILL don't hold the gun great. I'm throwing the regular ones back on, just like I have with all of my bots.

Yes, yes he is. Straight uncut Colombian.
