Told ya i'd get that Buzzsaw class Slipstream. Unfortunately his left arm socket for the shield is rather loose, it goes in too easy but it doesn't fall out without tipping him over.

Still my collection of mini bots is ever growing and PotP Bludgeon and RID Bludgeon are the crownpiece guardians.

Bludgeon feels complete now

Passed on Siege Soundwave and Starscream last night, but did pick up these 2. Siege Prime isn't new, but the stand he's on is. First time I've gotten one for robots, mainly for Unicron's planet mode. But I'm flexible and want to use it for some flight stuff

After selling a good chunk of things (84 bots just a few weeks ago) I thought I’d treat myself.

MISB Car Robots Black Convoy.

Came home to find one thing in the mail, and the other thing followed me home from the store.

That is a wonderful oldie but really really goodie!

Some great hauling by everyone today!

Forgot to post that I picked up Siege Sixgun Monday morning at Walmart. Almost picked one up with a bunch of silver paint on the right arm peg, glad I noticed it before leaving the aisle and grabbed a different one. I don't have Cog yet so this is my first Weaponizer and I really like him. Only thing I don't like about him is that he makes me wish my other Siege figures had pegs and holes in places they don't have pegs and holes. The rest of wave 2 Deluxe and the two Voyagers were there as well, but had to pass thanks to MP Beast Megatron coming out next week.

Speaking of unbeatable prices, a nice box came in today:

Inside were 2 Machine Robo toys at $19 a piece
GDO Hotspot at $11
And best of all a MOSC Reveal the Shield Windcharger for $3.75

where did you find Machine Robo at $19.99?

Nice new hauls, everyone. I can’t wait to start finding some of the new Siege and SS figures. In the meanwhile I did a little eBay shopping, and had BBTS ship my pile of loot that’s been slowly gathering.

Oooh, Sky Shadow, another great Fuzor! I see you figured out the left hand, a lot of people assume the iguana head is the hand. I used to snap off the right arm at the elbow and use it as a drone.

Haha. Yeah, I remembered the hand was there from when I had him as a kid. I used to be really into reptiles, so he was a favorite of mine. I’m glad I finally have one again.

I don’t think I would have ever thought of the drone thing. That’s a pretty awesome idea!

Woah! Awesome, D-Max! Those three have been towards the top of my want list for BW toys. How much are you enjoying them so far??

So despite my misgivings regarding the atrocious robot mode (which were reaffirmed upon purchase) I went ahead and bought SS-38, because the truck mode appealed to me. I was not disappointed. The transformation was fun, and it looks pretty good.

Kabover Konvoyz! True-G1, Bay-G1, Bee-G1! And the trailer actually fits almost perfectly.

Oh man is he cool! I love the individual dino modes, they are sweet! And the robot mode is really cool too, though shame he has no wrist swivel and no thigh rotation. But he's pretty dang awesome!

A TF HAUL!
That took a while...…….

Anyway, here's Siege Ultra Magnus (thanks to a 10$ off coupon) and Takara's Repugnus and Grotusque box set! (Let's forget about the awful blind-bag garbage).

Ultra Magnus is amazing and I had zero issues. I was impressed and I think I had my money's worth.

As for the Monsterbots, Repugnus is all right. But that "tail" made out of the folded robot legs is one glaring compromise for the mold usage. He's still cool though. However, Grotusque is fantastic and he blew my mind. That's one hell of an effective retool! Also, why the Takara box set? I missed out on the Amazon ones and that one was only 5000JPY because it was "used". A pretty fair price for having this display complete at last:

All those Monsterbots, including the G1s, because TR Trigger Happy came with a defect and Hasbro Randomly sent me TR Twinferno to compensate! :HEADHURTS:

Nice! I’m glad to hear hear he’s that good. I can’t wait to eventually pick those three figures up.

Kanrabat - Cool haul. Grotusque is such a great figure. Be careful if you decide to put Repugnus’ swords onto his back, like wings. I did that, and the clear green plastic on one of them broke.

Already did put the "wings" on and I had no issue. But yeah, one must walk on eggshells with clear plastics at any times.

I push them in very lightly, like at the very top of the pegs. Sure, they get knocked off easily, but that's the point, really. I take disconnecting over down right breaking any day.

Is that just an issue with the Takara version? Asking for a friend.

Shouldn't really matter, it all depends on individual tolerances and both Hasbro and TakaraTomy should be made the same. Mine's the Hasbro version, and the swords already show minor marks even with my careful treatment. My advice is, when it starts resisting, don't push any further.
