Legends class beast Transformers are always harder to figure out than normal Legends class Transformers.

That's strange that Transformers have metallic skin in the shows when in reality, it's mostly plastic. I suppose if they tried putting out real Transformers with metallic skin, they'd be more money.

I could really stand some help with figuring out who this beast Transformer is because I don't have instructions. He's got yellow necks, orange or red eyes, and silver horns. Other than that, he's got green legs, a green tail, and a green back. The upper part of his legs are colored yellow, and so are his feet.

Yeah I'm still annoyed that all my Barbie dolls are plastic and don't have real skin on them.
Someone else can bring up die cast.

You're seriously not able to transform twinstrike without help ?

I hope you understand that you now definitely lost the few little parts of credibility you could have had.

I said nothing when you said you're not able to remove titan masters other than with your teeth, but now it's just ridiculous.

I didn't know there were any males who played with Barbie dolls, but it doesn't make anyone less than a man if he does considering that some of the original Barbie dolls that first came out are probably worth thousands of dollars.

Have they ever explained exactly what kind of transmission the land vehicle Transformers have? I know with Tracks, there was an old G1 episode where someone was trying to steal him while he was in Corvette mode. Does it vary where some will have automatic transmission while others have stick shift or CVT transmission or something?

I don't say any of your questions are ridiculous, and I have been able to figure out bigger Transformers with ease. I figured out how to transform my Deluxe Windbag without having to use a YouTube video. She's not the Headmaster Titan Returns Windbag, but she's still a deluxe. I don't intend to get the Headmaster Windbag if I see her, but is her head robot a male or female? If they put out a Headmaster Arcee that turns into a car; and I see her in a store, I'll get her.

...you make me miss duragrip. At least his pointless questions were borderline legit. This? This is just ... pointless.

Alien robots. 'nuff said.

This one ?

I managed to get Twinstrike figured out without watching too much of the YouTube video. Even though I've had him outside for several weeks in the rain sometimes, he's as good as new. It's a good thing Transformers are mostly plastic because he probably would've rusted by now. I don't have any weapons he may have had when I first bought him, but how long ago did this one come out? I hope it was long enough that he has gone up in value. He's a nice enough Transformer; but if someone offered me a three digit figure for him, I'd take it.

Unless you show me a respectable picture, you're never gonna get an answer as to which deluxe Windbag I have.

I'm watching We Are Still Here, and one of the guys sounds a little like Frank Welker when he doesn't sound like someone who's trying to recover from laryngitis when he does Megatron. I suppose I'll have to wait to see if his name is in the credits because my remote won't let me stop, but I have a feeling he's not in it because he looks younger than the guy in the YouTube video with Peter Cullen. I found out that the first Transformers episode I watched wasn't the first time I heard Peter's voice because I watched King Kong with Jeff Bridges long before I started watching Transformers.

This is the only existing picture of Windbag.

Windbag doesn't exist.

Tell that to Hasbro and the Walmart my mom bought her from for me as a Christmas gift in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. I have a Legends class Windbag and a deluxe. They're just not from Titan Returns.

Have you tried using Google?

Seriously, these "I can't do x" type posts are getting old, and often off-topic. Drop the charade. No one believes you're this stupid/useless. If your goal on this website was to simply troll, then you're succeeding.

I'm ready to bet 10$ you don't have a transformer called WindBag.

Wed May 24, 2017 9:44 pm

I wasn't expecting anyone to tell me who played in the movie, just commenting. It was Andrew Senseng, not Frank Welker.

I noticed the previous guy who expressed doubts about the existence of a Transformer named Windbag. If he's so sure she doesn't exist, I'll gladly accept a three digit offer; and he can be the owner of a Transformer that he thinks was delivered from a parallel world or something.

Ok, this has gone far enough...

It's Windblade. >:oP

I knew you were having fun, but some people just gotta get all up and ruin it.

Constantly.

Does that mean you don't want to bet? If you really want to bet, you're on. How about we up the ante to $10 a Windbag figure? I'm not tech savvy enough to take pictures with my phone and upload both of them here, but I can take pictures of both Windbag and the package that the Legends class Windbag came in with a disposable camera and send them to your address if you give it to me.

I wanted to add a few comments about tank Transformers because there are a lot of good Transformers that turn into these. In reality, they're one of the easiest vehicles for enemies to demolish; but in the sci-fi/fantasy world of Transformers, they probably have a lot more durability. I only have two tank Transformers, a Legends class Megatron and Decepticon Rumble. They're not as good as the G1 Blitzwing because you could rotate the turret completely around, but they're still nice; and I hope to add more tank Transformers in the future to my collection. I know the Gobot Treds was able to have the turret rotate completely, and it seems like Brawl did too. I don't remember if it was that way with the G1 Warpath. Of the two tank Transformers in my collection, I like Decepticon Rumble the best.

There's another tank Transformer I forgot to mention because I forgot about his fan mode, and that's Laserbeak.

Fri May 26, 2017 3:02 pm

What kind of two-headed creature does Twinstrike turn into? Is that a dragon or a dog like Sinnertwin was?

Sat May 27, 2017 5:33 pm

Has it ever been established in comics or cartoons that Transformers can age? Or is assumed that the only thing that can cause them to die is violence? If they age, are the Transformers with Prime in their names in the prime of their lives?

I imagine beast Transformers aren't robots in disguise because they look robotic in beast mode. For the ones that turn into vehicles, I wonder what made the stores decide to put them with the action figures. Legends class Transformers are the same size as Hot Wheels and Matchbox. Scout, deluxe, and leader class ones are much larger; but you can find cars that don't transform that are bigger.

Mon May 29, 2017 5:36 pm

There's one tank Transformer that I forgot to mention that I have, and that's Mindset. He's harder to transform than the others I have, but he's the only Autobot tank I have, and you can rotate the turret a lot more easily with him.
