I mean you bought an alpha bravo and put him in the toilet for Christ's sake. If that's not childish I don't know what is

That wasn't childish. That's what you're supposed to do with a POS. Put it in the crapper.

And what exactly is wrong with him? Is it just because he isn't G1?

Don't argue with these guys. They hate replacement players, we like them, so let's just let this be

You're right, I'm sorry. I just hate when people unfairly judge things just because they aren't strictly the same as they we're 30 years ago. God forbid something in the TRANSFORMERS world changes

I've been very pleased with how things have been going. I'm glad what's happening is happening right now (mostly, just want some more paint)

I completely agree, everything in this line has been pure joy. The only thing is I wish all of the original combiners were done but I'm sure they'll come in time.

I'm holding out for a Piranhacon and Monstructor personally but I wouldn't hesitate to pick up a Computron if they do one.

I have Prime Abominus, so I feel good there since he is really not one of my favorite combiners, But I would love a Predaking, titan class. That guy is really cool. If they made him and Computron, I would have a representative of every american cartoon continuity combiner in my collection, and I would be satisfied with that

I too have prime Abominus and while they're fun little dudes I think they deserve to be done proper. At the end of the day I'll eat up pretty much whatever they throw at us though, I'm not that picky.

Yeah, same here. With a good combiner system like this, I'm liking pretty much anything they can slap a peg into and some sockets onto

[Rated X]

Thats not Blast Off, thats Slings**t. Blast Off is coming next year courtesy of Takara.

I prefer to call him take-off but I guess being childish works too

Calling him Slingsh**t is being childish? So you are saying you let your children curse ?

I think the brown color plus lack of a new head fits the name fit perfectly.

No it's childish in the fact that you're a grown adult making up immature names for something that you don't like. Very similar to a child throwing a temper tantrum.

Well Im sorry that adults arent allowed to make jokes or have a good laugh in your world. In my world its perfectly fine. Its called having a sense of humor.

You can have a sense of humor without being immature. I mean you bought an alpha bravo and put him in the toilet for Christ's sake. If that's not childish I don't know what is

Well I thought that s**t was funny. And it was so memorable that even though I took that alpha bravo pic months ago you remember it like it was yesterday and remember Im the guy who facilitated it. Since you wanna come online slinging insults like calling someone "childish" based on a one sentence comment, I have no problems giving my opinion on you either. You my friend are boring. If you dont find a little humor amusing, my guess you must be super anti-social. And to hit me with a low blow saying im "childish" is nonsense. Were all a bunch of grown ass men who collect childerns toys so dont expect everyone on here to be as stiff and serious as you are. Lighten up and have some fun dude. And im not attacking hasbros version of Blast Off for not being G1. Im attacking it for being a lazy repaint that didnt even get a new head or the better option. (Fireflight who has a faceplate and was available) If Hasbro felt so strongly that a space shuttle doesnt belong in a combat unit, they could have blessed us with a new mold of a military jet or at least a god damn new head like blades, wildrider, and slingshot got. What Hasbro pulled with the slingshot head was totally unacceptable.

Then you must have a very low brow sense of humor and I feel bad for you that your sense of humor hasn't evolved past poop jokes. I am very antisocial and it's simply because there's too many people like you out in the world. I remember your post because it was ridiculous and I remember you did it because you're the only one on this site who would make such a crass joke. Just because we collect toys meant for kids doesn't mean we have to act like them. You said it yourself, we're grown men so maybe you should try acting like one sometime. Now I can trade blows with you all day long but I doubt everyone else wants to read it so I'm ending this here. But if you want to know why I find you so damn irritating it's because people like you who uphold g1 so much are the biggest problem with this community and make it very unwelcoming to potential new collectors. Everything that isn't exactly the same as it once was isn't good and anything that you don't like is lazy. Like I said above, God forbid anything in a toy line based on changing shapes deviates from the way things used to be.

Once again sorry everyone for derailing the thread. I do have a question about bc op though, does he have two autobot logos like the regular optimus or does he only have 1?

He has one per shoulder, same as the other. he just lacks the insignia on the roof

Ah okay, I'm sure it sounded like a strange question but I've seen pictures of both so I wasn't sure. I plan on repurposing him as a Nova prime and was just wondering how many autobot logos I'd have to remove

Personally I love him as an upgraded Optimus. The headsculpt is absolutely amazing and well worth looking at. The golds highlight the various modes so well, and he is just a great Optimus toy.

Also, he is my first G1 Optimus Prime, which is really cool cause he is so unnatural compared to the usual Primes, but he is really cool on his own

Alright guys knock it off.

And Rated X, we have a swear filter built into the forum software, you do not need to self censor yourself. Continue to do so and I'll just take it as you trying to circumvent it and the rules. You know you're on your last chance.

So i'd like to take this time to tell you guys a story related to combiner wars:

So right now my fraternity is pledging new recruits, and part of their assignment to get to know me was to look up combiners, tell me how they relate to working together as a group, and then name me one each that is their favorite and why.

So they all came to the conclusion that teamwork is necessary, which it is, and that's what they need to do to be successful.

Then came the favorites, and they surprised me. One of them said Omega Prime, and his explanation was that he and his brother are so close that when together they are practically unstoppable, such as Omega Prime once Magnus came to terms with Prime. Another one said the Build team, his reason being that was a transformer his dad bought him years ago, and he loved how they combined and that their characterization was all about teamwork and giving it their all.

In all this, it was amazing to hear their stories of what they remember too. my brothers loved the assignment and we even ended up having discussions about transformers we have got over time. Most of them grew up on RiD and Armada, and they remember all the minicons they got and how much they loved (and hated ) those characters and how they combined into weapons and such. They all realized that they have had the transformers experience, and they enjoy the memories of having them, and still having them somewhere in their rooms back home.

I just wanted to share this since it was cool to hear all these men talk about transformers, collecting them and what they mean to them. And since it all started over me comparing organizations to combiners, it made complete sense to put this here.

A "Like" function would be really handy right now ... 'cause that was a good story, I just didn't want to reply to say it.

[Sabrblade]

Oh, this story really makes me smile since I recently got done re-watching RiD 2001 back-to-back with Car Robots to compare the two, while also taking notes on the English version for a special project based on it that I'm trying to work on.

It really has been cool this week to listen to these guys tell stories of their childhood, and honestly it helps me feel pretty cool about myself too.

Agreed: Like button required.

[RAR]

Speaking of Leader Class Quality issues the stock that UK store B&M bargain had of Generations Jetfire have on more than one occasion been missing the leg guns.

How does the toy package of Ultra Magnus explain Minimus is he described as he is in the comic or is their a "Toy continuity" explanation of him as some sort of Minicon like companion ? Or does it not explain it at all either on the box or the instructions.

Which reminds me I've been meaning to ask this for a while and it keeps slipping my mind - if Combiner Wars comics come with extended Bios for the Deluxes does that mean Bios short or longer exist for the other sizes too that lack them ?

I like to think of him as a de-armored Ultra Magnus, given that's what Magnus was back in G1.
