Just got Generations Thunderscracker today! Great figure!

[Cobotron]

Nice joe. Looks like your squad is coming together.

Just picked up these guys while out running errands.

[no-one]

Oh, you dog Cobs! I've been hunting them minicons for weeks. You may wanna give the news staff a heads up, I think you may be the first US sighting here.

Edit: Ah I see they have already front paged it. Congrats!

Do you have enough to make a that bonus Lion figure? And let us know if these are worth the price of admission.

Just received Classics Skywarp. A great figure even though I had to drop $40. Now just waiting on the Screamer.

[grimdragon2001]

got combiner wars Devastator at TRU for $142 after cupons, and also got Ultra Magnus and the white hand/foot upgrade kit coming from bbts

Found CW Legends Groove, Rodimus and Warpath (skipped Warpath and grabbed the other two) today.

$19AU each.

Stupid prices.

Then while driving home I got to thinking "what the hell do I even need Rodimus for anyway? I have a decent Deluxe version of him and this one is never going to combine with anyone!"

It's birthday prezzies time! Presenting, The Stunticons:

01 - The Team, Kind Of.jpg

(Or, at least the ones I wanted so I could feel satisfied with my life)

For anyone wondering, these are some excellent little stand alone robo-blokes. This bunch is just popping with personality, articulation and some swell gun/sword accessories.

I thought Breakdown would be my favorite, but he's being closed in by Dragstrip, who--somehow--is winning me over with his ridiculously quick and simple transformation. Who'd have thought. Breakdown's hips are, after a few days, still yet to annoy me. So far they've just come in handy with stability. No problems here.

Sadly can't get into that whole combining thing because of my voyager phobia. But after secretly messing with some of these boys' limb modes, those torsos are becoming quite attractive... Maybe in the future.

Also they can all pull off my favorite fan-mode:

Dinklage mode! Special kudos to that cute chubby Breakdown. Brilliant.

I got a thing!

Just scored Generations Jetfire (when did he start being called Jetfire instead of Skyfire?)
Also, still waiting for classics Starscream to arrive. Should be any day now.

I'm still looking for a Bumblebee. The Reveal the Shield is growing on me, but I'm also tempted to get a masterpiece Bumblebee. Which one is better, the new G2, or the original masterpiece Bumblebee? I'm interested in getting a G1 accurate Bee. Would the new Bumblebee be fitting for G1 if I applied the G1 Autobot symbol instead of the G2 sticker? Also it would be my first masterpiece, so would it fit with generations figures? What would you guys recommend?

[Cobotron]

Va'al - I'm glad you got Swipe. He needs more love. The shoulder thing doesn't impeded the fun for me. I didn't suggest him to you because I thought you didn't want to deal. I should have known better.

Joe - I personally think if your after G1 MP Bee is the way to go. He is about deluxe size, no bigger. I have the G2 version on the way. I scored him for $40 shipped from Japan at AmiAmi.com. They still have him in stock. The insignias are stickers so you could use the G1 stickers for him, and he comes with them. I may do this myself.

I did not expect to find these this soon!!!!!

WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!
With UW Devy on the way, that's it for CW for me this year. Unless Bruticus makes it out before Xmas.


I'M OUT!!!!

Nice haul Cobs! Should we be expecting any comparison shots of their former selves in the near future? wink, wink, nudge, nudge

Thanks for the help Cobotron! I just ordered G2 Bumblebee from that site. Im so excited yet nervous. I've never owned a MP before.

Ooooooh you're in for a ride!

I don't own that one specifically, but MPs are tasty treats.

Jetfire was only called Skyfire in the G1 cartoon. Both his G1 toy and comic appearance called him Jetfire. As for Bumblebee the MP Bee is a FANTASTIC figure but I personally don't think it fits in with generations very well. He's a little shorter than your average deluxe. The G1 version comes with Daniel in the exosuit which I presonally really like and the G2 comes with a jetpack instead but is cheaper. For a Bumblebee that will fit in with generations I'd advise any version of the Classics mold or the Thrilling 30 Legends Bumblebee (for that one I'd advise the Toys R Us evolution 2 pack from AoE).

EDIT~ How did I miss the post saying you ordered G2 Bee. whoops.

Oh, you will have lots of fun. The MPs are truly great!
