Optimus minor isn't that bad, I imagine him as a sort of wolverine type role. There is far, far, worse things in the franchise after all.

Name some please.

The Movieverse.

[ZeroWolf]

The monster shells of Monstructors component bots. A lot of the mutant masks from the first waves of beast wars. There's also certain images from kiss players... (tto be fair I said franchise not strictly toys) also the twins from the movie series

Not a toy, but still Transformers-related:



Transformers Milk Chocolate Egg with Ceramic Mug

It was a last-minute wedding anniversary gift, from my mother of all people. My wife got a Minnie Mouse one, but she opened hers before I could take a snapshot. The mugs are tiny though, easily kid size (no duh ).

[Cobotron]

Love that swanky pose. When did Prime start modeling?

[Evil Eye]

Dare I mention the Legion?

[grimdragon2001]

Got an MP Bumblebee in the last POL. Awesome lil guy

Did she bought that in Canada?

Nope, in the Netherlands. In the Benelux French and Dutch are the most common languages thanks to Belgium. The product info on the back though has *counts* 8 languages: English, French, Dutch, Portuguese, Polish, Swedish, Finnish and German in that order.

Pat Lee.

Nightscream.

Arcee's origin in the IDW comics.

Speaking of which, I received my Generations Arcee and Chromia from BBTS today. Arcee is the open-hands version that can't hold hr weapons all the way, but beggars can't be choosers.

I'd like to rescind what I said in my last post. After having Optimus and Alpha Bravo for a bit, Combiner Wars has started to grow on me.

This is easily remedied with an Xacto knife. I made the mod to mine and it made all the difference in the world. It doesn't compromise her hands in anyway.

and nice haul.

Welcome, my child.

That cracked me up.
Also, Va'al, what makes Alpha Bravo so damn amazing?

It cant be Canada, the Quebec government would not accept the word "mug".

As Kanrabat can attest, the thriftstore sometimes has some crazy stuff.

Like today. I will put up a few pictures till we get to the money shot, dont know if you'll spot it:




There were a few other transformers scattered about:





This was part of my random haul in the end, I will be giving away the non transformers and maybe the bumblebee too. Surprised to see the Power Battler there as its relatively new. It's total crap though, if any of you were wondering (no one was) and the gimmick doesnt even work all that well on this one, maybe thats why the kid didnt mind giving it away. Universe Prowl doesnt impress me much either. He feels a lot like a movie bumblebee toy with better legs.

[-Kanrabat-]

Daymn, that was one lucky find! It's pretty rare to happen on such a haul!


So, hum, Igor mah dear vriend, I vill taek dah corpzes jou dunt vant, ya?

[prjkt]

My latest aquisitions:



ROTF Bludgeon (Have the Headrobots upgrade kit on the way)
RTS Lugnut
Botcon Rainmakers from BBTS (Getting a refund on one, due to being slightly broken out of the box)
Gen CW Megatron from the local toy store here (surprised Aus got it before the U.S.)

Still have DOTM Guzzle on the way via eBay, will hopefully arrive soon.

Only great stuff! Did your Bludgeon and Lugnut were at fair price? How do you like Megs?

[prjkt]

Yeah Bludgeon and Lugnut came from sellers on a localised TF forum, so no scalping/gouging involved.

Megs is kinda "awkward" in bot mode, but otherwise pretty damn awesome

Noice! RotF Bludgeon and RTS Lugnuts are some of the best relatively recent TF. Glad that you could find them at a reasonable price! You will enjoy them for sure.

Totally seconded, those two guys are awesome and are some of the most fun toys out there, you will have a blast!

[Mindmaster]

So it's been a long time since I posted in here, and I got a buttload of stuff since. I'm going to assume my last post was about Windblade, Jhiaxus, Nightbeat, and Roadbuster, and start from there. *EDIT* It was actually Tailgate. Made the appropriate edits.

Reveal the Shield

* Jazz (I've been after this guy for a while, and I found him for dirt cheap at this place called TFSelect.com. Feels good to finally have this guy at long last!)

Generations:

* Jetfire
* Brainstorm

Age of Extinction:

* Voyager Grimlock (ugh, only because I liked the Dinobots in all their eight minutes of glory and I wanted all the on-screen guys)
* Deluxe Strafe

Generations: Combiner Wars:

* Alpha Bravo
* Fireflighty
* Skydive (two of him, actually. One of them broke at the right shoulder. )
* Dragstrip
* Silverbolt
* Powerglide
* Bombshell

(Motormaster is currently en-route!)

Masterpiece:

* Hasbro Asia's MP10 Optimus Prime reissue w/ Vector Sigma

[Cobotron]

Mindmaster, did you get all those at once!?!?!
Great stuff! Glad you got a Jazz.

[Mindmaster]

Mindmaster, did you get all those at once!?!?!

Nah, I wish I had that kind of money, otherwise MP Star Saber would be paid off by now! These took the span of three or so months since my last update in October, 2014.

[Cobotron]

Let the weekend BEGIN!


"Pile of Loot" is a dangerous, but glorious tool.

[guarayakha]

So I got Hisashi Yuki's rescue pack for the forever-alones today...

Leave it to the Japanese to inject their dose of kawaii-ness.




Instructions sheet doubles as mini manga




QCs are generally better with better fitting parts, though WB had some gold paint on her chin. Interesting bit: WB's wings are red plastic with black matte paint.



And no, no new waist articulation on Arcee. I modded her right away for that
