Violation of Creative Labs trademark? What are you referring to?

One of the original sound cards for PC back in the day, along with AdLib and Gravis Ultrasound. And it's not a trademark violation because that falls in a different category.

Thanks Jelze, it would be weird to see them try to sue in that case.

How people easily forget the little guys:


Transformers Titans Return Soundblaster Gallery

They didn't chance it that time

Alright, thanks to Rodimus Prime, who sold me an extra of the wing/chest armor piece for Galaxy Upgrade Prime, and some Xacto trimming, I now have a window pecs piece for him that does not have the wings and cannons to get closer to Cybertron Prime's non-super mode look. Now all I need is a new head that looks like Cybertron Prime's non-super mode head with no faceplate and whatnot (as well as painting the forearms blue).

Fun fact: Siege Blackjack, like his CW counterpart, has a "chest minion" mode:

My restraining order uses the term "chest minion"

Not sure if it's been posted, but I'm digging Reflector's gun underslung. The way it's molded almost makes it feel like this was intended.


A really cool and fun figure.

More pics here.

Funny enough, so did my 2nd and 5th arrest warrant

Also, inspired by a conversation in another thread, have some Fused Monstrosities

side note but one of the few things I brought back from my trip to the US is something I had never seen before:



If any one s curious it tastes EXACTLY like what it says, it's just hard to imagine.

Pro-tip, bite off each end and use it as a straw for some milk and you'll get a slightly chocolaty milk.

Even more pro-tip, do NOT try that with orange juice...

They don't have chocolate Twizzlers in Canada?

Not that I know of.

Well I'm already planning on getting Bluestreak, so nothing new there. Soundblaster though...the only Soundwave/Soundblaster I own is the FoC Soundblaster, and while I love that design and I like the alt mode, the proportions do look off these days and it's annoyingly more of a charcoal grey than black. I've already struggled to resist Siegewave, if that Soundblaster looks as good as that tiny stock render on the box seems to make it look and it's an actual proper Nemesis-level black then I might be giving in and upgrading. I'm not buying Micromaster cassettes though, don't like Micromasters and I like my cassette characters in upgraded non-cassette forms better anyway.

When in rome, you do as the romans
When in venice, your socks get wet

Never apologize for being the smartest person in the room.

[DMSL]

I still prefer the older Datsun brothers mold, so i will pass on him. Soundblaster hmmm...he will most likely be black with some gold detail, maybe he will even have the red tint on the tapedeck. Hard choice, classic wave or new wave.

[Ironhidensh]

Leaders are getting clearances.

[Nathaniel Prime]

Too bad there's no Leaders at any of my Walmarts, because I would love a Shockwave. Apparently other figures are on clearance too, such as the reissue Minibots and the first wave of Siege.

[Cyberpath]

Yeah!

[Ironhidensh]

Further evidence. You'll note in the first pic, there were no leaders on the shelf, that's because I hid the one lone shockwave.





There was no way in hell I was ever going to pay $50 dollars for a voyager with armor. $35 though? Yeah, I'll give them that.

[Jtprime17]

Bluestreak is WFC-S64.

[Cyberpath]

Pretty sleek. But they gave him Prowl's head.

Have any of you wondered what Transformers War for Cybertron Siege Deluxe Mirage looks like from the back? Well now you can see it for yourself in these images from Dengeki Hobby. If there is one good thing from brand unification is that now even those getting Hasbro products can enjoy the Japanese marketing campaign, with better product images, for products they will find at retail.

We also have new and clear images of Transformers 35th Anniversary Bluestreak including the back of the box which shows him as WFC-S64. So there's your missing numbers for you! The images came from Ladypapa on e-bay who, while an e-bay seller, does get their products and images directly from Hasbro. This toy being available now on e-bay may hint that these 35th anniversary toys could be made available once they are revealed at SDCC next week. Or not, who knows.

[no-one]

WFC-S64 ?!? Well that changes things up a bit. So who will be 52-63? WFC part deux?

Bluestreak just keeps looking better and better; dem painted wheels.

[Stargrave]

Ahhh great way to start the day. Thanks Will!

Bluestreak’s vehicle mode I think looks the best out of the three AutoSeeker bros I mean that grey just totally works for me. Dang can’t wait to get these guys.

[Stargrave]

Found this on Twitter on Snakasblog it’s just a digibash but I dunno, if they did Crosshairs from Ironhide I could totally see this:

[Nathaniel Prime]

I thought I would be mad about Bluestreak's car mode door, but I like it, and it seems much more Cybertronian than the other "Autoseekers" (Thanks Stargrave! ) Car mode gives me "I, Robot" vibes, which is great since Cybertronian is supposed to look futuristic. Mirage still looks great, and he has a cool transformation.

Autoseekers? How about Seekars? Or more obviously, Seecars?

Eh, I like Praxians

Oooo Praxians I like that!
Yeah Will and I were trying to hammer that out at one point I think we got as far as Movars or Rovars hahaha Nono not that bad but I dunno it’s growing on me they’re the wing-backed counters to the Seekers and always have been.

[Nathaniel Prime]

I was looking over Bluestreak, and then suddenly, I ask, "What else can the Datsun mold be redecoed into?".

I mean, we have the Datsun trio, and Barricade, but then what?

I guess you could make one of these:

Just call him Covert Agent or something like that like G2 Sideswipe so we can "differentiate" the characters.

I was thinking of a yellow, brown, and silver redeco of Prowl to homage Beast Wars Prowl.

Maybe Autotroopers? Although I wouldn't mind some of those from the Siege Ironhide mold

[no-one]

I could see a Diaclone blue Bluestreak being a cool Selects release, but more likely a Taraka special. I know a few people who'd be down for that. I'm going get the main three Datbros and call it a day though. Skipping Barricade, until he gets his own Generations body. Not that I have a problem with the Seige version as I think it's quite the attractive deco, but I only need three of this mold. and three Refraktors and three Siege Seekers

Silverstreak?

I avoided Silverstreak because he is much too similar to "Bluestreak".
