U Wot Mate

Woops! Sentinel Prime!

For new stuff, got the Target exclusive Studio Series Gamer Edition Optimus Prime (I have the original but I prefer the slight changes to this one) and two Blokees Galaxy 6 boxes (haven't opened them yet) from Target.com using the coupon from last week (also got the New Stranger Things guy on pre-order).

This morning at Walmart I found a Nemesis Prime Funko Pop and also picked up another Galaxy 6 box scoring my first bot mode Swoop! Finally, something that isn't Wheeljack or Megatron!

Happy Holidays Everyone!!!

My holiday haul is AotP Razorclaw, Big Convoy, Quintus Prime and Jalopy and SS Barricade.

Whew, looks like I made the nice list (probably just barely...)

[-Kanrabat-]

Merry Xmas everyone!

I got at least one TF set because I asked Santa and I was a good boy this year.

I stopped at Target the other night and saw they had Legacy Devcon for $12! At that price i thought why the heck not, havent opened him yet but again for twelve bucks you almost cant be disapointed

So, my cousin gave me this 4 pack for Christmas. Does anyone know if there are any upgrade kits available for the Ultra Magnus or Nemesis Prime?

So, my cousin gave me this 4 pack for Christmas. Does anyone know if there are any upgrade kits available for the Ultra Magnus or Nemesis Prime?

Just gap fillers, from what all I've seen.

The Nemesis Prime is also compatible with all upgrade kits made for Optimus and Motormaster, being the same mold and all, so any of their winged jetpack and Powermaster armor upgrade kits also work with Nemesis (I expect DNA Design to eventually get around to giving Nemesis his own version of their Powermaster armor upgrade kit).

[Whifflefire]

Here is the Christmas Haul - all four deluxe Aerialbots, Onyx Prime (Whom the camera refused to focus on), and Cybertron Runamuck. Now that I have a version of this mold, I can confirm it is a top contender for dopiest Transformer toy of all time. (Still made me smile, and I am that much closer to completing the Cybertron line).

I got my brother Armada Powerlinx Jetfire, Animated Atomic Lugnut, and SS TFOne Starscream.

Also, both my brother and I received two Blokees each. One pair were opened Christmas Eve, when we discovered that we both got IDW Autobot Megatron. When we opened the next set on Christmas day, I got Kickback, and he got... another Autobot Megatron. So three out of the four were all the same. What odds!

And while I'm at it, very very late, is my birthday haul - Cybertron Skywarp, 2007 Incinerator, and Seaspray. Also, Takara's Animated Ultra Magnus and "Ironhide", who I ordered back in September and just happened to arrive about my birthday time. Due to work schedules, they weren't opened until November anyway.

My Chrimbo haul:



And I also got the weapon parts for Tripledacus! (not really, but close enough for me)

[TF-fan kev777]

My post Christmas haul was 2 figures Pulse shipped on the 18th, but didn't arrive until the 27th. AotP Amalgamous Prime and Brawl.

Brawl is REALLY good. The articulation is great, the transformation is fun and he feels a bit closer to the Voyager price point that Scrapper or Mixmaster do.

Amalgamous is okay. The most annoying think about him is his head. It attaches using a fairly short peg and mine just does not want to stay on, the slightest bump while transforming and it falls off. Also, when mine does fall off, it likes to open and the T-cog falls out as well. I had originally thought Hasbro shorted me the T-cog, but I had already dropped the head a couple times and it was on the floor.

Got a tine Energon Galvatron along some dollar store "transformers" that are way better than expected.

Those "Transformer Warrior" look really suave. Is that an F-15 Eagle???. And at that low price tag! With diecast!

Edit: Nope. Not F-15, with those little mid wings.

They have some inspirations with the old Generations Thunderwing, with "CW" weapons too. If they are in your local Dollar Store, check them out. There's 8 variants.

[TF-fan kev777]

I got AotP Quickstrike yesterday from Walmart. He's actually pretty fun to transform. Now I'm just waiting on Blast Off and Sureshot from Pulse and I will have the latest wave complete.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

The final haul of 2025 included the first ever mass market release of a Clench in the states, while the first haul of 2026 is a figure that was exclusive to those who booked a room at a hotel that one time

Some very random stuff found at the local salvage store:

20251229_054610.jpg

Definitely wasn't expecting to find a Slitherfang, very happy with that! Megatron is junk but he'll be going on the Megatron shelf just the same.

At Five Blow I found the Authentic Elita One. She's kinda neat, bot mode is a little strange, but she actually has a solid alt mode.

From my latest BBTS POL:
Studio Series Bumblebee Movie Ironhide
Studio Series Gamer Edition Ironhide
Age of the Primes Prima Prime (only figure here that wasn't part of their Christmas sale)
Studio Series Dark of the Moon Wheeljack/Que
Studio Series Rise of the Beasts Apelinq
And DNA upgrade kits for MPG Raiden, Godzilla Optimus Prime, and Legacy Armada Megatron and Galvatron

And from AmiAmi (finally):
Missing LInk Arcee (cartoon)
Missing LInk Arcee (prototype)
MPG Rattrap

Looks like the drought is ending in my area:

I picked up AOTP Blast off, AOTP Sureshot, and AOTP Quintus Prime.

[Nemesis Destron]

While I'm hoping that my local Walmart stores will get Vortex as they get new figures on the damn pegs I did manage to get Blast Off and Brawl.

And I was stoked to see that Jalopy (gonna give him a more proper name) rang up as $19.99!!!

[Starseeker]

Been a bit since I posted anything. Got rear ended in the fall and ended up selling a lot of my stuff to have extra money while my car was getting fixed. Took a crazy amount of time.

Been rebuilding a little a time:
Earthrise Thrust re-issue
Earthrise Sunstreaker re-issue
SS Scavenger
SS Mixmaster
AOTP Flatline
AOTP Sideways
AOTP Razorclaw
AOTP Onyx Prime
AOTP Micronus Prime
AOTP Amalgomous Prime
AOTP Big Convoy
AOTP Blast Off
AOTP Brawl

Good prices on mostly all of them.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Gotten a good amount of stuff lately, most at good prices too. Brawl and Sureshot were free; Wreck-gar and Amalgamous were at old $35 voyager pricepoint, Sideswipe was $15, and Big Convoy was still at the $55 leader price point.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

What can I say, I'm a nice guy.

Oh, and I forgot one, got Transformers MPG-16 Nucleon Quest Super Convoy from AmiAmi. Unfortunately for me after I ordered it they required it be shipped alone for some unknown reason, there was nothing special about the size of the box. So not only did it cost me $30 more than BBTS I also got it later because of the Japanese shipping suspensions.
