You da man!

Thank the guy who recorded/uploaded them from Australia and the guy who downloaded them from the first guy to post them onto Dailymotion.

Are we the only 4 people who give shazzle about this line now? This thread is like a ghost town lately.

We probably are the only people but to be frank, Hasbro did blatantly say that these toys are not for us. I have accepted this. What I don't accept is the lack of quality and higher price some of the figures are exhibiting.

I have NEVER fooled myself into believing I collect anything other than children's toys. So, waiter, bring me more toys!

I feel safe saying this here because no one is listening. :-$

Though, only those associated with the show (plus Hoist and Medix and a few non-show Rescans, whom at the time I assumed would be in the show).

i really need a fix. RID are popping up almost everywhere, and theres only so many times i can pick up strongarm, carry her around for 10 minutes, and then put her down before leaving.

TAV cannot some out fast enough.
(and i just double checked if the differences were enough to make me wait... dammit they are)

News Credits: 459 · by **Sabrblade** » Sun Feb 22, 2015 11:26 pm

Yeah, Strongarm's definitely the main one I'm gonna wait to get the Takara version instead of the Hasbro version, even if the other three also have some minor show-accurate improvements in their Takara versions as well.

Where's the petition to sign for "I actually give a crap about this toyline"? I just don't have much to say right now. I don't own any of the toys yet, because I can't justify $15-17 for the ones I've run into, and I'm waiting for the show to premiere in the states to watch it. Call me old-fashioned.

Well, it's a stretch saying I really don't give a crap about this line but on a tight budget and a geewun centered collection RID does not impress me enough. To me they look 'okay' to 'decent'. So far Thunderhoof only really looks nice enough to want to own.

I got the one-step changers today (Sunday) and I can tell you they're rather fun. I know 99% of collectors pass on these but the growth from wave 1 to wave 2 is fantastic. Steeljaw can move its arms and stand quite well, then again the entire car hood is the tail!

You just signed it! :lol:

For me, the only Japanese releases I'll be getting are Bumbelebee and Strongarm. Drift, Grimlock, Fixit, and especially Sideswipe are nice enough in the states.

One thing's for sure, Hasbro better get on the ball with making more Decepticon toys for this line since I've a feeling the show's gonna make those characters really popular, what with body-builder Underbite, salty sea dog Hammerstrike, and smooth-talker Steeljaw each being very fun to watch in the show right now.

Watched episode 1 last night. (thanks again, SB) It is awesome. Even better than expected. Underbite was hilarious. Great writing, fantastic art direction! Agreed, more cons in warrior class.

Shows you how long I messed with it. Must be stiff on mine. Didn't try for long, I thought he was a total brick :lol:

I feel slightly insulted that Hasbro thinks my sons are not worth anything better than this line. I'm also terrified that they'll like it. Thank goodness they are still too young to actually get the figures. Though I guess that Titan lass crap would do.

I really hate that I'm turning into that grumpy old man. :-(

They dont want kids to get frustrated about transformation anymore. They seem to want to bring it back to the simpler G1 days of discovering new toys that arent difficult to convert back and forth and play with.
