Making myself look like an idiot I can add further confirmation to that. Just been down my local Tesco to see if they'd restocked, hoping for wave 3 if anything, and walked away with Target Jazz. The Spacecase had already gone though so just as well I've got 2 coming, those Bumblebees will probably be clogging the shelves for ages now.

I now have the trio of original Seekers completed! (now where's that Ramjet rerelease Hasbro?)

Thanks Waaaaghlord!

Also picked up PCC Razorbeam (the blue Chopster repaint minicon) and the terrible lump of plastic that he comes with Darkstream. Rest of the line in full force, but no Wave 5. I quite fancy the boat guy. And RTS Lugnut. He really is fantastic, although it may take some getting used to how hunched over his robot mode is.

well, DOTM thoughts time.
I'm pretty sure we've alll seen it, but just in case i've spoilertagged it.
1)wow, first of all. wow
2)wheelie and brains were actually a heel of a lot less annoying than i thought, and brains turns into a laptop! I'd heard e had no altmode....
3) the decepticon gunships, the mini "personal" ones that bumblbee uses, particularly the configuration/mode of it when it atttacks the building dylan was in and saves sam and carly, bears a striking resemblance to one of the modes of starscream's cybervese orbital assualt carrier.
4)headshots/face collection.(i'll explain this one a bit, spurring from "give me your face", me and nova figured that prime has a collection of faces h destroys/rips off. so far in it pre-dotm are partly megtron, grindor, the fallen, and i think bonecrusher)there were so many heads dying in this.
ironhides head falling off when he died(his death was sad, he deserved to go down fighting), starscreams headgetting blown off, sentinels helmet ripped off, megatrons head (and spine?)ripped off, soundwave's head, humans shooting out at leastt three people's eyes, and i can't think of any more right now.
that makes at least 9
5)sentinel was not as much of a douchebag as i thought he would be, and his beard was 100% win.
6)overall, an awsome film.
so yeah.

W'lord, there's no need to worry about space case for me, my dad nabbed me one last night.
mighty fine he is too, like the comic that he comes with, reminds me of the good ol' days when every figure came with a mini-comic...
as for your dotm thoughts AP, starscream''s orbital assault carrier is meant to look like those gunships in the movie.

ah, the glory days.
although for the whole of armada i think there were a total of THREE!

minicomics.
:BANG_HEAD:

yeah, i figured that the OAC was meant to look like them, but i just hadn't heard it mentioned before.
sort of in scale, too, i guess.

http://www.youtube.com/user/waspshot23 · Sat Jul 30, 2011 7:59 am

yeah, but i've seen a fourth online! which is actually number three...
i'm thhinkin about picking up that oac, just for that fact

?
where?
i only know of the hots shot/jaAm one, the unicron is arriving/tidal wave one, and the scavenger/destruction minicon team one.

and the crazy japanes thing thats quite long and not really about the normal armada minicons...

http://www.youtube.com/user/waspshot23 · Sat Jul 30, 2011 8:42 am

if you look the comics up on tfwiki, theres a link to a page where you can read them.
i think it's about the star saber mini-cons walking into a trap set by galvatron...

I went shopping for my dads birthday today and while i was in tesco I found A DOTM Shockwave and the Cyberverse Leadfoot and Ironhide 2 pack so I grabbed them because I knew shockwave wouldn't be there when I got back and my brother broke my cyberverse Leadfoot so i needed a replacement

I was in Home Bargains earlier and I think I found the place where RotF Bumblebees go to die.

yeah, same in telford, either that or they have more in the back because Hasbro need all the help they can get producing more Bumblebee's

(Kinda like Johnny 5 in short circuit 2 if any of ya remember it) lol

I got my energon rodders for a snip a few years back, he's pretty cool i thinks

News Credits: 2 · Tue Aug 02, 2011 4:56 am

I only have Optimus, Omega Supreme, a Damaged Megatron (missing a shoulder cannon, tank missile and an antenna) and a damaged Unicron (missing a finger, hip panel, missiles and mini con) but Energon is still by far my favourite show and toyline. (hence my sig)

News Credits: 2 · Tue Aug 02, 2011 7:13 am

Can anyone recommend which Kreo I should go for, I was thinking Mirage as he's the cheapest.

http://www.youtube.com/user/waspshot23 · Tue Aug 02, 2011 9:17 am

what? are kre-os out now? i haavent seen any.
I'd say mirage or jazz, they both look cool, and are the cheapest ones.

Never seen a single epsiode of Energon, and only half a rodimus episode so i cant comment on them, Armarda was ok though.

As for Kre-O my mate said Argos are selling them now, maybe thats just in telford though

News Credits: 2 · Tue Aug 02, 2011 10:54 am

I'd say ratchet and sideswipe are the best kre-os but they're pricier. if you're going for cheap then go for mirage or jazz.
Hey AP hows this for a deal:
You get me DOTM deluxe ratchet, bumblebee and crankcase and i'll give you animated jazz, animated skywarp, rts bumblebee, gen blurr and maybe battle in space?

CHUGU and fansproject third party stuff, damn this habit is expensive =(
