But would you say it's better than PotP Swoop?

I would argue Strafe is better than PotP Swoop. The only real downside to strafe are the monkey arms, but even then they aren't bad and they can pose at the wrist some.

Also bummed cause my Predaking was delayed a day.

We sure are slogging through this crisis, aren't we?

Word, I got bots coming from China that I have no clue of how long they'll be delayed.

I have that Strafe, it's not bad but not my fav. I do like the movie Dinobots though.

Had to grab a few things today, and the Earth has finally rose at least a little in my area

Well, it finally happened last night, the PA Governor shut down all non-essentials, so I am now working from home for the time being.

It was my work anniversary yesterday too, so my first ever deskbot (and by extension by work anniversary deskbot) was my companion, and he and Wheeljack returned home with me since who knows how long we will be working from home

One of these arrived last night as the last bot at my old apartment, the other showed up at the new apartment prior to the start of moving stuff in today, coming in stock over 2 months early

Question for you, D-Max. If I was to get one RiD Warrior class figure, which would you recommend?

Can anyone answer? If so Steeljaw.

He is an original character and has a unique and interesting transformation. I also really like the beasty bot modes from this line and that articulated tail is tops.

Thing is, I really can't stand his bot mode, being a fan of the RiD'15 show. I already have Thunderhoof. Any other ideas? (After this, let's give D-Max his thread back.)

Hey Tigerhawk, anyone is welcome to post and BS at times here! You can Cary can talk as you please!

AS for my answer, since you already have Thunderhoof, I would say the next best ones would either be Quillfire or Fracture. Both of those are pretty bad dudes with some great toys to them. Fracture in particular with his tight bike mode and awesome rifle!

News Credits: 131 · by **no-one** » Sun Mar 22, 2020 12:35 pm

I agree with Quillfire, he's a cool chonky bot with a fun alt mode. I'm a big fan of the Scorponok mold as well. On the Bot side I really like Stormshot.

Noted! (I’ve had my eyes on Quillfire for a bit now.) The guy I really want, most of all, is Bisk. But, before I jump on the Ebay wagon, I want an expert’s opinion on him. ;)^

Oh Bisk is a fantastic figure too! I love the big lobster bot!

Well, being quarantined and working from home last week really cost me, but I think I really won out on some great deals you all will see soon.

To start, Amazon order arrived with Cliffjumper, and here is a very cheap Airhammer!

That's not the tablecloth.

Fiance put out the Easter tablecloth. the other might end up in the collection room I am starting today

got my Lunarfire Prime today, so there are currently only 2 movie Prime molds deluxe and larger that I need a representation of! (those 2 being the protoform and the battleblades voyager)

Also, Ghostbusters

Well, happy Easter! (1 week in advance.) Might get some Siege and T30 to celebrate!

I hope that's not an April fools joke :lol:

I got a pretty dang big haul today! Lots of good stuff, but sadly 2 issues. Torca's kibble wing has fused in place and cracked with the GPS, so he cannot assume beast mode again :-(

And Sky Shadow has a misassembly in his torso that means his left robot mode arm is locked in a funky pose because the piece is too short.

I'm really bummed. I might need to buy a 2nd of each, one so torca can be in beast mode, and a Sky Shadow so I can actually have one pose in robot mode.

It's legit not. At the moment, my cart contains Nightbeat, Waspy, Scoop, and Brunt.
Also, I'm so frigging jealous that you have Megs and Landmine! I want both so bad! :-(

Sorry about Torca. Behind Silverbolt and the obvious, he's my third favorite Fuzor. (I don't have his toy.) He could definitely use an update.

I finally got a Universe Onslaught! $3 off an ebay Auction, so that's why he's incomplete and I am OK with it. He is a chunky piece of toy

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Thu Apr 02, 2020 10:29 am

Also, with my Den coming together, the Masterpiece, Ghostbusters, and Marvel Legends shelves are all together now. and the movie guys will have Jazz to join them soon!

I just picked up that Onslaught after all these years too. Indeed a big hunk-a-chunk!
Besides his shield, what's he missing? Is his whole gun turret gone?

Displays look great! ;)^

Love the Playmobil Ghost Busters as an accent to the TFs.

Just the 2 guns, the turret is still there!

I thought those little guys scaled nicely with the ghostbuster bots! I actually have the 6" figures on pre-order from Pulse, when they arrive, I will adjust the shelf so they can join their friends!
