Daughter requested and daddy approved! Awesome sale on Amazon helped! Personally, I was going to choose voyager...but playability outweighs scale or aesthetics any day here.

Bought third party Crankcase. Gotta love a character who uses the word, "Bah!"

I "traded" my Takara MP-10 on eBay for the pretty colors of Hasbro's.

As well as his beautiful baby blue eyes. He sure makes his aunt Petunia proud.

Used to, but I sold him. Hated the clear trailer.

*sad face*
YOTH MP10 was my favorite version until Eva Convoy came along. I didn't have a use for the trailer either so I just left it in the box.

I kept YOTH Prime, it was the son's birth year.

Ah! That's a cool reason. Now I wish I had one even more because my 2nd daughter is also YOTH. I could go get her a Starscream to sleep on. :lol:

WOW! they are still available up there!?!
It's tempting, but I'll stick with my Hasbro/Asia for now.

So much to buy, so little moneys.

Over the last two weeks, I've found Combiner Wars Blackjack and Powerglide and both of the LEader Megatrons.

The Megatrons are a lot better than most of the photos would suggest, and Powerglide is a let down. I've seen people saying that if you have one that holds together well in his other modes he's good, but I apparently got one of the ones that doesn't hold together well.

I think most dont hold together well in alt mode. It's like Windblade's tail fin split all over again.

Yeah, and I was really disappointed in Windblade. Powerglide is really just a G1ing of the DotM Commander figure, and I do appreciate that, and I do like his looks. But his vehicle mode is kinda crappy and his gun mode is a real dud thanks to not being able to stick together.

I couldn't get my Powerglide to hold together until I moved his legs up a bit and tabbed in his butt flap. For whatever reason, that fixed the problem.

He's still a lot of fun, and super poseable for a Legends figure.

Nice widdle haul today.

Thanks to the Generations voyager sale at TrU, and the fact that they have a shitton of it, I finally got my Gen Skybite for only 15$+tx!

Also, my HLJ order just came in.
Drumroll please...
:DANCE:

NO CUSTOM FEES! :DANCE:

T-AV Bee and Razorclaw with T-AV Junkion!

I still have to open them and try them out. However, I wonder if I'll ever see AOE Junkheap in store? Because I'd like to keep that Junkion sealed. It's such a cute little package!

Also, Razorclaw? Cobotron is currupting us all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :michaelbay:

Armada prime arrived today! I missed the entire Armada line. I was expecting a Cybertron sized Armada Prime, so he was a very nice surprise. Trailer gimmick is cool, but I think I'll display him in his smaller mode as I'm not too thrilled with the brick legs.

I played with the toys but kept Junkion sealed for now. So, here's my impressions:

Skybite is quite nice. Not perfect with his hollow legs, but the transformation was pretty interesting. A great shellformer with a solid shark mode.

TAV Clawdeen Wolf is not that great. Quite fiddly with a weak bot mode. Plus, scary forearms are scary.
Bee, on the other hand, is magnificent. First, it's a great mold. It's fun to transform, and both modes look amazing. Also, that Takara deco is so great, it dosent need any Reprolabels.

Overall, I'm quite satisfied by my haul!

I am really glad you like that Skybyte mold, I felt it was quite underrated. One of the best shellformers I ever played with. And it was really cool how his shark face actually became his chest instead of a fake chest plate like the original had.
