Thanks for the suggestion of Hot Pink JelZe.

I've found Hot Pink to be a "tough girl" kind of color, which Slash definitely falls under.

Man I wish we had gotten a retool of Slash/Cindersaur as BW Dinobot.

There's a lot of different exclusives coming up, anything is still possible.

Heads up everyone: the holiday shopping season is upon us and that means stocking stuffer end caps! Walmart has them up and Transformers is part of the action this year, with current Cyberverse One-Steps (including Wave 2), but above all, PotP Legends! My guess is they're either overstock, or the final wave of repacks, I've spotted:

- Windcharger
- Beachcomber
- Skrapnel
- Battleslash (but no Roadtrap )
- Cindersaur

No pics I'm afraid.

I saw some in Canada too, mine were in their own special holiday hasbro bin, is that what yours were in as well?

Eh, too robotic, no accessories, and it woulda looked pants next to Generations Rattrap and Rhinox. I'd rather see a reissue of Universe Dinobot under some banner or other. The original is pricey on eBay and was poorly colored and poorly made (He has GPS) anyway.

Just be clear, are we talking Universe 2008 (no GPS reports):

Transformers Universe - Classics 2.0 Dinobot Gallery

Or the BW 10th Anniversary one (lots of GPS reports):


Transformers Beast Wars (10th Anniversary) Dinobot (Reissue) Gallery

Yup, quite the surprise. Some stray ones may have ended up on the regular pegs, like Beachcomber at my local one.

I'd seen people cautioning Wayward about it re: Universe Dinobot but they may have been confused.

He's still rarespensive on eBay though O.O

Sigh... always a danger when buying things online:



Literally a chipped nose. How did that even happen? I don't think the lashing of cutting the plastic ties would do that.

Could have happened anywhere from during assembly to the insulation tray being loaded into the box.

Does anyone have good pics of Volcanicus together with Landfill and/or Mega-Dinobot? How about fighting alongside Computron?

Dunno what to do about the chip, exchanging him isn't really an option...

I may be able to help you with RiD Landfill since I have his Devastator redeco, so fitting! Give me a few days to arrange everything. I will say this, Volcanicus will tower over him.

Well, I figured that much. Landfill is only as tall as a G1 combiner toy.

Regarding the chip, if it's basically just a paint chip then you could buy or mix up some acrylic that matches, and paint over the chip with a toothpick. If the plastic is too chipped fill it with a teensy bit of putty and then paint when the putty dries.

He must have gotten punched square in the grill.

What do you think of my proposed solution?

I'm not that comfortable with things like that, but if anyone is, hey more power.

Actually, he was counterpunched.

They didn't happen to be discounted did they?


Regarding P/CP, didn't get him via Amazon? He's back in stock and they are usually good about returning damaged goods.

Nope, still waiting for that day...

... and he's out of stock. O well.

Zelda, regarding Landfill vs. Volcanicus, any special requests? Like individual robot mode sizes?

If you want, but I'd be happy with jus the combined forms side by side and back-to-back

OK, go the two to cooperate with me long enough, hope these will be good:





RiD Landfill/Universe 2003 Devastator comes roughly to Volcanicus' hips, or half his height. Not too shabby I must say. I've chosen his default "Grimlock Arms" mode (headcanoned into Devastator Battle Mode), just for a more pleasing giant. Between you and me, my fav is the "Hightower Arms" (Berserker Mode for me), because of the crane over his head and melee-only weapons. Really suits him

:EDIT: in before "you didn't extend his hands". I just remembered that RiD 2001 Grimlock's feet can be pulled out when in arms mode, making a clearer separation between arm and hand.

Thanks for doing that JelZe.

I see you configure Volcanicus with the extra Prime Armor hands bulking up the torso. And with the backs of Slag's and Swoop's legs facing forward. Any particular reason for the latter?

Looking at those pictures, now Sludge can stomp on Devastator.

Everyone loves a double hinge for the elbow, right? I'm not too bothered by the hollow look, it's a fair trade-off.
