Glad to see you're back btw.

How are you confused?

Oh sorry, you're game just has me very stumped.

Oh lol, well the figures all have something very simple in common. When someone gets it there is a very interesting fact about them that I want to share!

They all belong to you?

They all contain red, white and blue?

Decent guesses, but look more to the answer I gave Burn right above you

News Credits: 226 · by **Burn** » Tue Apr 18, 2017 10:52 pm

They're all from other members of this site?

Ding ding ding! Every one of these figures either came from or have an accessory that came from another member of the site.

-Burn = Gunrunner gun, Skullgrin, Waverider
-Va'al = Breakdown
-Will = Sixshot
-N = Cyclonus, Tracks
-Cary = little WreckerJack (sorry, that name stuck for him)
-Shajaki = Drift's sword

And the really cool thing is that in the past 3 months, I have received figures from 4 different countries and 3 continents.

Australia = Burn
Italy = Va'al
Canada = Will & Shajaki
US = N and Cary

I am a celebrity at the mail room cause of the wide range of package postage too :lol:

The only one that I wasn't sure about was Sixshot, as he's a very current figure I figured you got him new yourself. The rest were all old so you obviously acquired them off the second hand market.

What's impressive though is how well Skullgrin looks in amongst all those young modern kids.

Waverider however just looks like an overweight Prometheus Engineer. :-P

Dude, Skullgrin is frikkin beast! He looks so cool and he is fun!

Waverider is quite dorky but he has his charms. the submarine engine in the back of the robot mode head is funny.

Also ran them both through a bit of cleaning. The whites are shining a good bit more now!

That's Captain Spelling to you. I won't have any of my staff using poor spelling and grammar, that's what Va'al's crew is for. :twisted:

No wonder Burn really likes Ultra Magnus, he is clearly one of Magnus's holomatter avatars. It seemed so obvious yet so unlikely. :-P

And clearly I wasn't as stumped as I thought I was. I was thinking they were all sent to you from others on the site but Cyclonus, Tracks, and Wheeljack were the missing link.

I was beginning to think that, but I didn't know where Skullgrin and the other pretender came from, so I couldn't make a concrete guess.

Me!

When I saw D-Max had started to get into Pretenders, and being a big Pretender fan myself, I wanted to help him out. Skullgrin has such an awesome shell and I knew he would be going to someone who would really appreciate him.

Meant to say something about this before. I thought they were looking a little cleaner. Yeah, I sent him some good old fashioned Australian dust. That's pretty much how they came to me anyway. :-P

Awesome stuff D-Max!!! The only other Pretenders I have are Catilla, the Decepticon Warthog thing, Bumblebee, Grimlock, Jazz, Starscream. All awesome in their own way!!

yep, in order to get them all I think you have to go back to September of last year when I got Tracks from N. Everything followed after that!

Scratch that, you would need to go back to June of last year for Drift's sword!

Yep yep! The pretenders came right off the plane, so they were brand new to me!

And this is why you are in the moderating business. News guys actually have to be able to spell things correctly (it's in our contracts and requirements). Mods, well, all they need to do is wield the ban-hammer. we're the brains, mods the brawns :-D
