The funny thing is, his fake chest is cartoon accurate! his real windshield does end up on the back of his legs.

He is so chunky too, there is a lot of presence to this deluxe

I also enjoyed the way the side windows came together to form his back pack, which with the addition of the rocket boosters turns into an actual jet pack :lol:

that was also a very clever little bit! Bee had a lot of cool ideas in him!

But he cannot compare to the best bike-former ever...

I really want to get samurai Prowl, he's been on my wishlist for ages. I mean, I've got normal Prowl who already is phenomenal but samurai Prowl kicks that into high gear!

Oh dude, Samurai Prowl is so cool! He really does kick it into high gear, the armor is really really cool, and he just looks so badass!

And next on animated week is Ratchet! I don't yet have the Earth one, and the reason for that is is that my senior of college when I finished the main cast (and picked up 4 non-main cast ones from fellow members here!) he was far cheaper to get complete than the Earth one.

Earth Ratchet will be got eventually, along with Sentinel Prime, Oilslick, Blitzwing, Megatron, and Lugnut, among others, but for now, enjoy his cybertron body!

See all I can find on ebay UK at the moment is earth mode Ratchet, still hoping to snag either this version of Ratchet or Ironhide though

Ironhide is a really good figure. I think he is the best of the 2 versions of the mold, he looks so sexy.

I hope you get one of this mold, it's a great quality mold

Animated you say?

Guess which line is now getting unpacked and set up.

This is just the Autobots. This line won't fit on just one shelf.

Kinda ****. Mostly pointless.

News Credits: 1350 · Fri Oct 04, 2019 6:03 am

Why did I have the feeling that was going to be the case, oh well, saves me some money as him and Wing Optimus Prime are quite expensive to get ahold of.

News Credits: 226 · Fri Oct 04, 2019 7:28 pm

Honestly, go with Samurai Prowl. It's a bloody brilliant design.

News Credits: 1646 · Fri Oct 04, 2019 8:35 pm

Time to wrap up the main cast week.

Bulkhead was bought from our own Rodimusconvoy13 my senior year of college. I need to get the leader for kibble chair, but the voyager is really fun too. This mold has been really fun, even if it is a bit small.

And then there is Optimus. Man, i love this design and character. the design has such a nice color scheme and style, with some great curves and the windows are perfect. and the prime character from that show as so relatable, so cool, and so fun. that right there was a great Optimus Prime.

And finally. Autobots, Transform and Roll Out!

@Burn I do plan on getting samurai Prowl, I've been after him for a while.

@Dmax great photos! Now...how many of the cons you got...

News Credits: 5 · Sat Oct 05, 2019 3:40 am

Just Picked up Freeway Jazz and Atomic Lugnut the other day. Didn't realize I was actually missing them till just recently. Think the only ones I still need to get is that hydro Bumblebee and for some reason I want the Roll out command Optimus. Just waiting to find them at a descent price.
I'd post some pics but I'm away for work right now.

I've often seen the roll out Optimus for decentish prices on the UK ebay, roughly about £20 - 30 so I thought it would be comparable to the US one.

Technically ... he's only half 'Con. :lol:

Ah, Animated! I still need to finish watching the cartoon, but I absolutely love what I've seen of the show thus far, and I adore the art style.

I currently only own Blackarachnia (I had Earth Ratchet but gave him away, and Arcee, who kinda fell apart) but I do want more, specifically Oil Slick and Swindle, and some version of the Lockdown mold (possibly the TAV "Dia De Los Muertos" deco).

News Credits: 1350 · Sun Oct 06, 2019 8:29 am

I heartily recommend any version of Lockdown you can get your hands on.

Blitzwing is the con i really feel I need to get that i don't have. He's the priority con.

I tell you what though, I would love to hunt down all the cons, and also get Blackout. that is a grail item right there

News Credits: 1350 · Sun Oct 06, 2019 3:19 pm

I'd love Blackout as well, I'd still love a continuation of Animated at some point, toy wise, there was a wealth of creativity there, and the toys had personality (and the Tick!)
