One of those is sounding an awful lot like RID deployer Drift.

As far as the spy, no clue. Other than G1, anything before Prime is a blank.

Your first guess is very close to the guy who arrived today according to the latest shipping information!

As for the second one, I'll give you another clue: There was a series with a very unique aesthetic that made for some awesome chin jokes, and they somehow gave this guy a big chin too :MAXIMAL:

Well that could be any of the minicon guys.

And the other is from TF Animated (which I'm starting to collect with no point of reference other than, heh looks cool).

That's the best I got, heading to an install. Someone else will have to pick up the torch.

Well, I can tell you that I already have Overload, and I did not want a Drift and Hasbro Crazybolt has not been released, so it is the one left over!

And you are right that the last one is from animated. Maybe a certain someone that may act and have a similar gimmick to Punch/Counterpunch :MAXIMAL:

I requote this since that image is so awesome. The good Doctor nails it! And I really look forward to him too. Been on my radar, just needed to wait a bit but the waiting is worth it!!

After the discount, I got him for $18 complete with instructions. Sandstorm and Strafe were $19 a pop. Oh and I just got the notification that Fracture has just arrived and I will pick him up today! :MAXIMAL:

Beware of the chin piece. It can come off unexpectedly (no real reason for it to be a separate minicube of plastic and not just part of the head mold, but hey).

I will make sure to remember that.

Where did you get this picture from anyway? Do you/did you have Shockwave at one time? :MAXIMAL:

Do I win anything if I guess that photo is a Dr. V original?

Not being familiar enough with the story of Animated, "spy" was a hard clue for me, but even harder was "chin". I mean everybody in Ani has huge chins.
Especially this guy.

I guess that only leaves Deployer Fracture?

It would be awesome if that were a Dr. V original, and since he notes chin issues I guess he did have him and this would be his picture!

And the chin thing was more meant to draw attention to the show being animated, and it is funny that they still managed to give a cyclopian con with no face a chin :lol:

I loved it.

Animated was my first TV show for transformers and I definitely loved it. Ani is known for its chins like Prime is known for its eyebrows.

And Fracture for the win!! :MAXIMAL:

Go rest your brains and your eyes good sir. I have no idea what you thought you saw, but considering this is Cobo-writing, it can't be good :MAXIMAL:

I feel this is the best place to ask this, but should I pre-order Computron from TFsource as well as something else to get the free shipping? Or should I wait until he is in stock and then order some stuff? Is it better to pre-order him?

Also, can you guys tell me how your experiences with TFsource have gone?

Animated Shockwave? REALLY? How would I've guessed that! :BANG_HEAD:

I can't speaf (or speak :lol:

) for TF Source. I've never used them. I've never heard anything bad either.
But, I think pre-ordering Compulous is a good idea. I think he is going to sell like hot cakes once he hits. I was going to ask if you had considered importing, but after shipping from Japan, I'm not sure he would be much cheaper.

Yeah, the shipping is what kills me. at bare minimum $50 to ship out here, so TFsource looked like the best way to go. :MAXIMAL:

Fracture, dope! **** bot mode but a fun lil futuristic moto-side car. And the little minion he comes with is killer. I thought you wanted some Jetstorm action or did you find a suitable surrogate? I was going wait for a sale on deployer Drift, but decided the Has Jetstorm just looked nekked,so.i bit the bullet and bought the TAV super purdy version.

TFSource you say? So far I've had nothing but good experiences with them. Yes pre-order/order/stack iTunes over $1 fiddy ship free. They will not let you cancel any items that you gave paid for though. But you can cancel preorders that haven't been billed or come into stock at anytime no problem.

I used them to get Devy and a friend shipped free and I currently have a mega stack just burning a whole in my shelves I need to ship. I just can't seem to pull the trigger because as soon as I do I'll have to stack a new one and work towards free shipping again or just move to sticking piling my PoL.

I've had nothing but positive experiences with them so far. They deal in new and used merch and I've added quite few vintage (as they call them) figures to my stack.

I decided to bite the bullet and buy the deployer Fracture. I am using the weapon Slipstream as my surrogate Jetstorm. Now I have all 4 of the originals!

So I can preorder Computron, but I won't have to pay until he actually comes in stock then? Cool Beans.

That is correct and they email just before billing, so it appears possible to still back out at the last second. But take that as a YMMV. Once it moves from preorder to bought it's yours. No cancelations no refunds. Unless defective of course.
