Owch, just bad luck on Scorponoks color Mine was fine, all though his box wasnt sealed and arrived with some box damage that must have happened before it was packed as the packaging was fine -didnt matter as i'm not keeping the box anyways and I'm not one of the crappy people that tries to charge money for current gen empty boxes.

[o.supreme]

I 've been keeping the boxes for my Titans as of late. The only ones I dont have my boxes for are Fort Max & Tryp, but as you said, I'm not going to pay to get them again. I know the art exists online, but it would be nice if most of the current Generations art was collected together in some sort of coffee-table type book. I know several books exist for older artwork, I have a few of them, but none that I can recall for art especially from CW on. That Art of Transformers Genesis book released by Image is one of my most prized possessions.

Look at that tiny head, he and Cromar could have a competition. It's shaped like a milk dud lol. I do like his carrier mode the most.

[blackeyedprime]

It's not as though metroplex or Fort max can even go back in their boxes after the arm is attached though I held onto the boxes until space demanded they go. Scorponoks box seemed pretty slim so it was a nice surprise how hefty it is. Kinda surprised it passes the tests that orig Fort max can't seem to get around for reissues. If scorp falls off a shelve and lands on anything, it's taking that thing out for sure.

Go buy Transformers: A Visual History.

Go buy Transformers: A Visual History.

I've seen people review it, it looks cool, but seems to sample a little bit from all eras, rather than being comprehensive of just one era.

[Tuned Agent]

It's nice to finally see Runabout. It's a little disappointing that they don't have different alt modes, but I didn't really expect them to. The new headsculpt is nice. I like the clear red for the windows, it adds a nice pop of color that makes me wish Runamuck used clear orange instead of gray.

But on the subject of how he's being released, wasn't there a Target listing for Runabout?

More like a LOT bit from all eras. The book is THIIIIIICK!

Feels kinda weird being happy with a wfc deluxe car mode and snap dragons ship modes pretty good too despite the odd unfinished looking rear. His cockpit is scary tight when opening/closing but it's not something I'm going to do often and the titan master could probably be sneaked into it during transformation.

Ok, so I'm not the only one feeling that way about the cockpit. I think it is a really cool design, how the cockpit splits and folds all up into the legs, but those two yellow flaps could are really tight to flip open.

...so hold on, Runabout comes with two guns? I mean, yes he looks great, yes I'm gonna get him, but ignoring that for now...two guns. Where's Runamuck's second gun, since one of Runabout's guns is Runamuck's gun but repainted? Or does Runabout get a second gun because of his exclusive status, like Selects Tigertrack having all the accessories for that mold? Does this mean there's another version of this mold that has just the Runabout gun? Does this mean anything, or am I putting too much thought into this?

But on the subject of how he's being released, wasn't there a Target listing for Runabout?

There was in fact, it's how we found out he existed in the first place.

Tontons review of Ratchet is up, pretty darn unbleeped funny as well.

Why did I giggle like an idiot every time he cursed at the toy? I hope this is his format going forward.

I prefer his other reviews or the fun he had with rattrap. Swearing wears off for me after a fair few mins and nothing he does can beat him cursing the completed ss devy after the months it had taken to get all the figures for disappointment. It was bound to be downill after he used tit in the warpath review

[lowman_x]

I'd love to get my hands on these. I wonder if it'd be possible to cut off those fake wheels as I'm fine with them not looking like their G1 selves in that regard. And I wonder how someone in Australia will be able to get their hands on them...?

The voyagers in the third wave of Transformers WFC Earthrise have been found in Canada and the UK. The two toys in that wave are Megatron and the Quintesson judge and they were found at EB Games in Canada, thanks to a sighting from Cybertron.ca, and at Smyths in the UK, thanks to a message from a fan called Tim who sent us an e-mail.

As for the US, well it has been a long time since we saw some new Earthrise deluxes on shelves. Well, we knew it had to come soon, after Target got their initial shipment and now it's happened. This wave with Arcee, Airwave, Smokescreen and Allicon was found in a Target in Pensylvania. They were found by a TFW2005 member called Worldsgreatest who posted on their boards.

If you have found any of these, please share your sightings with the community on our forums.

The paint detail differences on the front of the car modes actually do kinda create an illusion of them sorta looking like different cars.

What also helps is that Eathrise Runamuck's car mode doesn't look any more "spot on" to G1 Runamuck's car mode than G1 Runabout's car mode. For instance, the front end of the car for the Earthrise mold is entirely different from either G1 toy. Runamuck shouldn't have any small side back seat windows on his car either, but they're there on the Earthrise mold, making it actually more accurate to G1 Runabout in that regard. Using one mold that doesn't particularly match either G1 car precisely is rather genius and cost effective. The different head sculpts, colors, and paint masks are plenty to differentiate the two now.

Of course, both are supposed to be more cartoon accurate that toy accurate, so can anyone dig deep and find the original Sunbow character models for Runamuck and Runabout? Were they drawn exactly the same way in robot mode (and/or car mode), but with different heads and colors?

I think i prefer the Generations pair. Don't get me wrong these look nice, but they are so blocky.

[Wolfman Jake]

Is it pretty much assumed now that the Quitesson Pit of Judgment set will be put up for order once Pulsecon starts? We got tipped off on it weeks ago, and reviewers all over YouTube have gotten copies of it, but still no official word from Hasbro on how this set will be released. I don't want to miss out on it!

There was a leaked listing about a week and a half ago (I only saw it on a line chat I'm part of, it wasn't posted on a TF site as far as I know) and it called out the SDCC exclusives that would see release at Pulsecon, and the TF item on there was the Pit of Judgement. Said listing also included the ghostbusters Luis/demon dog set (which I'm hoping to get), some black series, some marvel legends, some power rangers, etc., and based on other fandoms and expectations the listing made sense and seemed legit.

What a long strange trip it's been, just to get Airwave

Pre-Ordered on Target.com back in March. (Expected 9/1)
Delayed to 9/14
Delayed to 9/18
Out Of Stock (sorry you can cancel your order and we wont charge you for it)
oh ok we found some more we're going to ship it
ship it
ship it
ok we have a label for you, It's a Fedex tracking #, but we're linking to UPS...
after copy/paste and running it through FedEx, It says the label was originated in York PA. usually Target orders for me come from OR or WA because I'm on the west coast. Interesting that this has to come from PA (the same state a s the first B&M sighting if I am correct?)
Are there no other shipments of wave 2 in the entire country???
still says I'm supposed to have it by 9/18, here's to hoping.

This was the only wave 2 figure I wanted, but man what a pain. I told my daughter if I ever saw ER Arcee in store, I'd get it foe her, at this rate I doubt that will ever happen.

[cruizerdave]

I never realized the G1 figures were different cars. Learn something new every day!

Dude, stop trying to make any sense out of it, you'll drive yourself nuts (if you haven't already). Especially if I tell you I'm in Chicago and my 3rd Airwave is shipping from Tucson, AZ, while the other 2 came from Tennessee.

No clue how they are (dis)organizing things.

[o.supreme]

Hrmmm... I wonder if we can call Target corporate and have them redirect the one coming from AZ to me, and the one coming from PA to you.... .

Reminds me of every time I see 2 logging trucks on the highway pass each other, what's that about.

Shipping woes? My coneheads still haven't shipped from Amazon!

Jeeze, man. Mine were delayed too, but I've had them for like two weeks now.
