i keep thinking about what the prime devastator (if it exists) will look like. i hope they don't go down the same path as rotf and make him a rainbow gorilla with giant clanging testicles.

Tescos's telford also had some of the Wave 2 deluxes in, the blue nascar (dunno his name, topspin is it?), and barricade. They had the box out but it was mainly empty.

Asda have some wave 1 and 2 in now, and some mini transformer 2 pack things, 1 car and 1 robot, look like robot hero type things.

Hey everyone back again, I want to ask, does anyone know if there are any UK based online stores, hobby stores with a website or anything of that nature that are getting in the DOTM Optimus model kit because it looks really interesting and I want to see if I will need to import it or not and a rough estimate of how much it will set me back (Looking really bad at the moment though :/)

They don't have any pre-orders up last time I checked, but i'll keep an eye on the website, I could order through HLJ but the customs tax I got last time kinda put me of that website, know it's not their fault but it's sort of off-putting

got a Shockwave and Skyhammer today!

Also the enw TF 3 comic also comes with a Transformers Dart gun, looks like they ran out of legends to put on the front of them. £4 an issue though? shesh

I jusr remembered I made this yesterday: http://youtu.be/BucTlg_9n2A non-vlog part 2!
and I'm also ashamed to show you this:http://youtu.be/ptVXmvHqelY

by **Pot Bot** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 12:19 pm

are shockwave and skyhammer any good?

I know shockwaves root mode looks sweet

News Credits: 4 · by **Neurie** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 6:26 pm

Shockwaves really nice robot mode, vehicles a bit meh really.

Skyhammer is nice in both modes and has a very satisfying transformation.

I generally dislike Mektech weapons, skyhammers is alright and Shockwaves only really fits on one arm.

Both worth a purchase

by **Pot Bot** » Sun Jun 26, 2011 2:20 am

fair enough, shockwave is a deffo, ever since i saw him in the flesh.

I agree, mechtech is a bit meh, it would be better if the switch could be locked out on all of them

Thanks for the welcome.

So, I tried TRU Nottingham today, not expecting much TBH. Nearly wee'd in excitement when I saw a small assortment of Generations in the main boys section (Seasonal still DOTM/ROTF shelf-warmers).

Grabbed Scourge straight away for 9.99, but they also had many Cybertronian Megs, Cliffjumper, Skullgrin and one Thunderwing. I am excite!

I asked about the stock at customer services and was told that while all TFs were currently out, they may get more boxes in and to check back periodically. To be honest, the woman I spoke to was as surprised they had received them as I was!

Still want Blurr, Kup and the new Seekers so if anyone locates these in store, please let me know.

Cheers folks!

Finally got HA Tailpipe and Pinpointer today at the post office. (they were closed early on Saturday! :twisted:

) Cool and complicated little guy with awesome stability in robot mode. The targetmaster gun bot isn't much cop as a robot, but he's got a few variations on his weapon mode. Their human partner looks very much like a blow-up doll.

So: Good small robot. Okay smaller robot. Poor meatbag.
