I'm proud of you Bro-tron. ;)^

My first ever Beast-era Transformer to boot too!

You have too many bosses. I thought you got those from me for a second!
But you mean the Boss boss. :oops:

Damn, you're right...

Maybe I'll have to stick to calling you Boss and start calling Seibs "Supreme Overlord"

Sorry. Taken.

Great Haul!
How does your first Beast Wars toy make you feel?
How does it make you feel about Beast Wars as a whole?

I love that toy, but he is a bit of an odd bird (why I love him), but I fear he may not be the strongest representative of the line.

Wait, is that Predator Stalker I see? :shock:

I love Predators (the transformers) and Turbomasters!

now now now, you don't have to go and flatter Burn just because he's your immediate Boss

I actually really like him! The owl mode looks pretty good and I love posing the wings on him. The transformation is very simple but still fun, and the robot mode is a bit weird, but in a very likable way. I enjoy the toy and I wouldn't consider it too bad an introduction into the Beast Wars era toys. I think he'll look decent alongside my generations Magnaboss, Rhinox, and Rattrap.

I love Soundwave though. That giant scope thingy is awesome and the figure itself, minus the articulation, is very addicting and chunky and fun to mess with. Both are really good figures to me

Oh man. Didn't know. I knew the toy, but didn't know the color scheme.

I find Machine Wars to be a bit odd. It's like Beast Wars but, without most of the beasts, so then it's just G1 again.

Machine wars is more of a thing that uses G1.5 toys and repaints them in new color schemes for original 84 characters. I don't believe it's close to Beast Wars

Hmm, maybe I should look more into Machine Wars... :-?

Oh good! Many reliefs I am feeling.
If you can get behind prOWL's brand of weird, then there is a whole world of BW toys out there waiting for you. Some of the best TF toys to ever grace this good green Earff.

FYI, Prowl can wield RTS G2 Laser Prime's sword. And/or Gen Arcee's weapons. ;)^

Awesome! I cannot wait to find some more BW stuff in the future!

And i may need to give him one of Arcee's guns. She uses her swords while she rides Sky Lynx into battle

Very important Question regarding Soundwave: what would happen if I put the :SG-CONS:

on him and made him Shattered Glass Stalker? thoughts?

News Credits: 41 · by **Cobotron** » Mon Feb 06, 2017 12:36 pm

He'll need a bigger shoulder cannon. :michaelbay:

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Mon Feb 06, 2017 8:58 pm

This guy traveled down to me from Canada

Also, found these at a local store. If you want one, I'd be willing to pick up and ship.

Ooooo Sixshot! :DANCE:

Tellus how the joints are!

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Mon Feb 06, 2017 9:40 pm

Well, I've had enough time with Sixshot to run through all the modes, and here's some initial thoughts:

Robot mode: looks cool, but needs bigger guns and slightly stiffer knees. Not Skullsmasher bad but still a bit loose. 5th favorite mode.

Submarine/Gun mode: my least favorite mode, no matter what you call it. just doesn't ring a bell for me.

Wolf mode: Awesome, so metal and cool. My favorite mode. It looks and feels great, and the joints feel appropriate for it.

Tank mode: 4th favorite mode. looks good, but the turret lets it down compared to the others.

Car mode: good, 3rd favorite. Looks cool and it rolls beautifully.

Jet mode: 2nd favorite. Feels fun and swish.

Overall, I was starting to think less of the figure and was losing some excitement over the figure, but he is fun, and he feels good in the hand. And he's fun, I'm enjoying rolling through the modes.

Yes, yes we can. I almost had to pull over today to just stare at it. I've been given a heads up to it's own thread.

I'd seen a while ago someone was trying to do a MTMTE Rodimus, but it must've fell through or something. But this, wow looks good! And it's actually a good alt mode (unlike that MTMTE Megatron)
