Sometimes when people talk about Transformers, they call their robot modes people. That would only be true with the Star Wars ones and Animorph Transformers.

That's incredibly unlikely to happen as it would mean a new character or a major overhaul of an unrelated character but... it's just so silly I kind of really want it :lol:

If so, that's Nemesis Prime from the Japanese Transformers Adventure line, which is how Japan released a lot of the RID 2015 toys; he's a repaint of the Warrior class Optimus Prime from the RID15 line.

I've got the standard Warrior Prime, but i must say....that Nemesis one does look nice

IKR! It's absolutely lush, and I've been pining after one for a while- unfortunately not come across any at the kind of price I'd be willing to shell out for (I'll only go so far for something that would essentially be an impulse buy that doesnt fit too well with my collection), especially factoring in UK shipping. One day, maybe!

considering there is no horse transformers on g1 and idw, the answer will be 90% no.

I don't know, Mach Kick and Battle Unicorn could show up in Beast Wars Uprising.

And does nobody own both a complete Trypticon and a ruler?

And they could say they're from a city on Cybertron called Sleepy Hollow.

Have they ever done a story where like the G1 Megatron meets his later incarnations like when he is able to turn into ten modes?

And my foes list grows by 1.

Something I'm curious about: How do y'all who have them like to arrange your G1/G2/Original RID "Scramble City"-type combiners? Who do you have as which limb on each of them? For me it's as follows.

Menasor:

G2 Superion:

Ruination:

So basically, Flight Mission configuration.

Just put him on your foe list. Then he goes away unless quoted.

Yeah, sorry. Belatedly remembered that feature and edited the post to reflect my use of it ASAP.

How much would you pay for him? Maybe I could get him and you could give me the money plus shipping.

Menasor:
Breakdown as right leg (undercarriage forward)
Dead End as left leg (undercarriage forward)
Drag Strip as right arm, front end flipped up to be a pauldron
Wildrider as left arm, front end flipped up to be a pauldron

G2 Superion:
Slingshot as right leg (undercarriage forward)
Fireflight as left leg (undercarriage forward)
Air Raid as right arm
Skydive as left arm

Ruination:
Rollbar (KO Greejeeber) as right leg (undercarriage forward)
Armorhide (KO Dangar) as left leg, front end forward, turret pointing down so the notch in the rear snugly engulfs Mega-Octane's leg
Movor (KO Shuttler) as right arm
Ro-Tor as left arm.
So basically, Flight Mission configuration.

Ruination in flight mode

Piranacon always, always has Nautilator off by himself. Not because fiction reasons, but because I freaking love that robot lobster.

Huh, that's the only two Scramble City Bots I've got. Unless you count CW, I guess.

[*]First Aid: left leg

Bruticus
Standard cartoon configuration

Piranacon
[*]Overbite: right arm
[*]Skalor: left arm
[*]Tentakil: right leg
[*]Seawing: left leg
[*]Nautilator: weapon mode

OR:

[*]Overbite: right arm
[*]Skalor: right leg
[*]Tentakil: left leg
[*]Seawing: left arm
[*]Nautilator: weapon mode

Hasbro sure charges a lot for their action figures. I remember when my oldest brother was in the army, and he had stopped at some store and got a bag of green army men for very little money. I'm sure you can still buy a package of army men without spending much. It'd be nice if I could buy a package of a few dozen Transformers for very little.
God bless, Jason Scott Irelan

Do you realize how you compare things which can't compare ?

Army men have no assembly, no part, no screw, not even paint..

Of course they're less expensive.

If you want to see over expensive toys, check the movie Megazord. Quite no paint, no articulation, but all members are as exepensive as Transformers voyagers.

Fri Jun 09, 2017 12:55 pm

You're right, and Hasbro does a lot of work assembling Transformers. What do you mean no paint though? Those army men are green colored. Is it possible to find plastic that's naturally green? There's the work of molding the plastic.

Do you even know what plastic is ? How it's made ?
On your opinion, do plastic grow on trees ? or is it from animal ?

Fri Jun 09, 2017 1:47 pm

No I don't; and since your question implies that it's made, that's something else that has to be done to produce a bag of army men.

Fri Jun 09, 2017 7:51 pm

I got the last Transformer Dollar General had, which is Starscream. There are a few kre-o ones that look like Legos; but I don't do Legos, so I scream. You scream. We all scream for Starscream. It may be a take of the Reveal the Shield figures since it's from the same line as my Optimus Prime.

Fri Jun 09, 2017 9:17 pm

Shoot, I tried to take a picture of Starscream and a couple others I need help to identify; and I got a message from my phone saying it was unable to do it because of memory loss. I might need to shut my phone down all the way tonight and try to take a picture again tomorrow. The good news is I found the foot to Chromedome that I thought didn't come with him.

I was hoping you'd know and could tell me. I go to a lot of work to take those pictures.

News Credits: 226 · Sat Jun 10, 2017 4:40 pm

Top one is Grandus (worth a fair bit if you can find the right seller) and the bottom one is called Grindor (not worth anything, better to just toss it)

Sat Jun 10, 2017 4:48 pm

Why would I throw something away if I can play with it?

Sat Jun 10, 2017 4:51 pm

In fact, I just thought of something. If anyone has any Transformers that you're thinking about throwing away because they're not worth anything, PM me your address; and I'll pay the shipping cost if you send them to me. I live in Orange City, Florida.
