Even if I was higher than a space shuttle it wouldn't make sense (I dont do that, it is a joke people).

Any-hoo: Minicons! I want weapon minicons! Like that chainsaw dude!

Huh, and where did you get your Tardis then? Did the Dr. decide to give you a time tour? or did Brainstorm let you borrow one of his briefcases? (look up Stormy's case on tfwiki. really a good story)

But even so: My future will have transformers, no matter how small the apartment or how big the garage. I need to make room for the cons coming up. I've got Thunderhoof (who now does hold the position of my favorite con of all time), Megs, Fracture, Quillfire, legion clampdown and Underbite, and 1-step Springload. I got to make up for some cons

Look guys, this is fun and all, but lets not requote everything that came before.

And sorry if none of you can sleep. Neither can I.

Well, I dunno about the rest of ya'll, but as it's after 1:30am here, I'm signing off and heading to bed now. G'night.

Yeah, it's been real, but I'm off too bed, ttyl folks

Hell yeah to all of the above about Fracture and how cool the Hasbro version truly is (nab on sight right here!) And mini^2 cons would sound cooler

Microncons!



Chuck! Did you ever try pluging any minis on your Battle Grimlock?

Nope the only Minicon I have is with Deployer Drift who is packed away. Not a fan of RID Minicons. I'll give the round ones and weapon ones a try though. When are the weapon ones coming out?

And now for the information no one is likely to care about: how to identify what RiD character candy dispenser is in the blind-bagged Radz display near the trading cards at Target. These are those ugly things at the top of this news post from Toy Fair.

On the back of the bag, near the bottom right (but not all the way down) there's a numerical code followed by a letter. The letter tells you what you're going to get. Case breakdown is approximate, it was slightly picked over:

1. Bumblebee (7/case)
2. Optimus Prime (6/case)
3. Grimlock (2/case)
4. Underbite (2/case)
5. Steeljaw (2/case)
6. Strongarm (2/case)
7. Sideswipe (2/case)
8. Fixit (1/case)

Hmmm, a Grimlock with a t-rex head hand? Couldn't possibly guess what that could be repurposed for.

I take it that "Commander Class" is just "Cyberverse Commander" rebranding? Makes sense if those armor bits on them are Mini-con armor bits as well.

Some of these look adorably evil.

All these Minicon and deployed, and Soundwave is stuck in the negative zone. Oh, the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune!

I mean, come on:

If these are what amounts to the current generations legends class and the former cyberverse commander class, as was noted, I'll be quite interested in it. I guess we shouldn't think about the end of the series but instead appreciate what we'll still be getting from it. Poor Strongarm doesn't get a figure. Hopefully she and some Decepticons with Autobot Minicons also come along. Could be a fun little line. And Warrior Grimlock may finally be in scale.

I could go for some killer Decepticon spheres.
