Takara Transformers Go! Starscream arrived yesterday. He has replaced the Hasbro Beast Hunters version, which has now been donated to the boy.

So, it's the BH mold in "classic" colors. Even though I like the BH original, this thing is tempting as hell. 40$ shipped is a bit much but... This thing is sweet looking!

Yep, same mould but with a more uniform colour scheme. The weapon is still ridiculous though.

I've got Soundwave coming to.

I've already replaced most of the Beast Hunters bot's with thier Takara counterparts. Smokescreen and Arcee are my personal favourites.

-Kanrabat- wrote:By the way, Cybertron Crumplezone is now one of my favorite TF ever! Hillarious bot mode, a very, very cool vehicle mode, an intuitive transformation... Too bad his key is missing but it's a small miracle his missiles are not. As for his broken key-spring loaded gimmick, I just ajusted a knob and cut-off some tiny plastic knob. Now, popping the cannon-thrusters in and out work perfectly well. Incredible that the TF that please me the most out of my latest HUGE haul was... an unexpected bonus freebie!

Oh man, that makes me so happy to hear. It does make sense when I realize that what you like most are intuitive transformations, the cybertron toy line, and the voyager class size and up. Crumplezone answers to all those factors. Since I was unsure of the mechanism, he couldnt be more than a bonus but I am so glad it worked out and that you found a way around it. It makes me feel the trade was more equitable

Oh and I find it fun how he has a face sculpt (and general build) similar to Animated Bulkhead, which is another figure you like. Speaking of Animated Bulkhead, I am simply amazed. He is delightful to transform. Definitely something I did not expect and I like him even more than the animated shockwave I picked up. So once again, thank you for everything :BOWDOWN:

. (oh and my favourite of my haul is Bludgeon, I love transforming him and seeing him take form before my eyes, it is mesmerizing)

Another surprize favorite in my latest haul: Energon Prowl in shirt mode combined with Energon Ironhide in pants mode:

Who knew that two but ugly toys could combine for such an awesome result? Prowls bigger head and "arms" make it the perfect partner for Ironhide.

Also, because of my latest giant haul, I had to buy a few more shelves and I'm currently reorganizing my collection.

The two shelves at the back of my pasageway were a mess and my living room is full!

Got whole bunch of stuff in since Friday:

Universe Storm Cloud was an anniversary present from the wife. Came in on Friday.
Found BH Starscream and Constructbots Thundercracker for really cheap at Ross on Sunday.
The Quint came from eBay for a good price. It and the Deathsaurus Reprolabels came in today.
The rest is my latest PoL from BBTS. Was waiting for Six Sigma to come in, but got impatient for Bragigas.

Picture of my Henkei Galvatron!!

Got an oversized G1 Blitzwing a few weeks ago. He's Voyager size.

Also got Fansproject Dragstrip.

Waiting on Kabaya Weirdwolf and Mindwipe. Hoping they're similar in scale to my Kabaya Highbrow (scout size) who along with Kabaya Brainstorm and Junior Chromedome looks great against G1 Snapdragon and Scorponok.

I've wanted Kabaya Weirdwolf for years. Really hoping he is Scout size. I've never seen them but I'm hoping for a similarly scaled Hardhead and Skullcruncher.

TF GO! Soundwave with Ravage.

News Credits: 100 · by **-Kanrabat-** » Fri May 02, 2014 6:54 pm

Generations Skids is at my local Walmart at last. So, I grabbed him, even at almost 20$ total.

No regrets at all.

This thing is perfect looking all over and is a blast to transform. So many paints aps too! Who need Takara anymore?
The only thing holding Skids from perfection is le lack of posability in the arms. Appart that, he deserves a premium spot in my display. :BOWDOWN:

Picked up AoE Grimlock and evasion mode Optimus Prime from my local Walmart. Gave DotM Megs the shotgun(because it makes things right with the world) and OP got deluxe Lunarfire OP's Ion Cannon.
