One thing about roadbuster i cannot stand, that i thought takara would fix... those damn feet. That's why I won't buy it. Sad how one thing can turn me off on buying a figure

Ive been buying alot from them in the past 8 years and some are just worth the money.

I'm curious if Takara even does topspin and twin twist, they have zero attachment to them because they weren't in fiction in Japan. It's happened before. like I've said before it took over two and half years for Takara to bother with skids. Not saying they won't happen but it's a 50/50 with them.

At the same time, they also released figures like Roadbuster and Whirl right away.

And immediately used those two to create a Japanese G1 cartoon continuity iteration of the Wreckers, making the door open even wider for Topspin and Twin Twist to fit in.

Also there is the Drill dasher and a few Minicons like that. Also Quickswitch has a Drilltank mode and The Constructicons have drill fist accessories that allow you to make Bonecrusher (for example) into a drill vehicle too.

Not to mention the loads of other Drill vehicles in other robot franchises like Machine Robo / and Legend of Brave and so on.

They may all spring from things like Journey to the Centre of the Earth and Thunderbirds.

As long as you don't bash on Voicebox

I just wish he and Nemesis Breaker weren't so expensive on eBay.

Hellscream: way to go! Glad you found those 2 Titan masters! I hope to make some trips over the next week to see what I can find, and hopefully someone finally stocked those 2.

Twintwist: oh man, I so need him. He is a great retool!

Twintwist looks so dumb and I love it SO much.

Though I do have to wonder if those tread pieces will hold their position in vehicle mode better than Topspin's wings do - mine like to flop around a bit at the best of times, and if that same joint was supporting half the entire weight of the vehicle mode...

And I'm here still waiting for a Redeco of Whirl as a headmaster and Redeco of Highbrow itself

If only Takara would make a Greatshot mold for Sixshot
Quickswitch using Sixshot's mold is

Erm...didn't we already see a Sixshot repaint at the NY Toyfair (who may or may not have been Greatshot? I think that might've been Quickswitch....not sure?)

anywhoo...with the amount of repaints that we're getting lately...with certain molds (Optimus/Octone/Lazer Prime ect, Broadside/Tidal Wave/repaint ect) i'm sure a Greatshot repaint is possible

That was indeed Quickswitch.

Eventually, if not this year surely the next. The base has already been made.

Available right now.




This set appeared at my local TrU. But I won't pay 150$CAN plus taxes for it mainly because I don't care at all about 6shot. No matter the color. Still, that Lazer Prime sure is sweet. Oh well...

so... some of the MasterForce Transformers aren't appearing yet but There is a little possible chance of Darkwing and Dreadwing as new molds in the last wave


Just hoping if they are Deluxe Class and it will be cooler when combined

Maybe in Power of the Primes.

For the last wave of TR I wouldn't be expecting an awful lot - most of it will likely be mold re-use (possibly rather clever mold re-use) and maybe a couple new figures, but I'd save most your wishlists for Power of the Primes.

That's Quickswitch. They're talking about Greatshot

That's a relief
But i doubt that Optimus Primal will be another one of the case for redecoes of Apeface so im fine with that

Just curious, is general concensus that TR Quickswitch is better than TR Sixshot?

Chest, Helmet, Animal head and the Gun Ports on the sides of his arms are mostly the problem when it comes to retooliing, the paint is alrready easier

william-james88 wrote:Just curious, is general concensus that TR Quickswitch is better than TR Sixshot?

All of the modes are fine except the Wolf and the Jet Mode
Sixshot's Wolf and Jet Mode are very detailed while Quickswitch's.... not....

william-james88 wrote:Just curious, is general concensus that TR Quickswitch is better than TR Sixshot?

For me yes, definitely, because the colors always match, contrary to the bad white plastic vs white paint of Sixshot.
(especially in robot and wolf modes).

But from what I see, these issues will also be addressed in Legends's one.

Either that....or....that isn't a million miles away from the jet mode of Broadside

so maybe another repaint is in order

Wow, Twin Twist looks great. I hope he and Topspin come out at UK retail, the pair of them look awesome together. Amazing how some of the worst G1 toys got adapted into some of the best toys of TR.

Whoops!

Don't bend your crocodile heads too far back, kids. Any ideas for a solution to this problem? I'm thinking just putting a little superglue there and clamping it shut. Any better way?

Stuartmaximus wrote:Either that....or....that isn't a million miles away from the jet mode of Broadside

That's the Combined Jet Mode form, so it's not totally from Broadside's

And I would recommend against anything ever being considered from Broadside's jet mode. To call that mode a mess is to sully the good name of mess.

Plus, it almost looks like they started to engineer a leg folding and waste twisting feature, and said, "screw it! The fans want a Broadside so bad, just give them a carrier..."
