Everyone's entitled to their opinion :P


I'm just interested in seeing some character development for him. I never read the old comics, so I don't know if he got a lot of 'screen time' in those. But if they're making Hot Rod (and making him look decent too), then there's no reason to not do Springer.

I only have the one spotlight, and i was going to buy arcee, but if they are going to release that, i may have to wait and pick that one up. I think Hot Rod's was good, ill deffinately be looking out for that in a collection. You'd think they'd put him in one with Kup, Magnus Arcee etc all being from the same kinda background.


Its just the order that they were released in.

I wouldn't be bothered about a Springer spotlight - I'd still buy it, but I would prefer more old school G1 characters. I'm not really a fan of those who came after the '86 movie.

I'd love a Metroplex one. That'd be awesome.


It's just that they've done all the other main season 3 bots, might as well finish it off.

It's like making all the seekers classics, and not doing Thundercracker (see what I did there :wink:)

Fair enough :lol: You know, I should probably think of something constructive to say here... or, I could do this:

SCRUBS RULES!

Yeah, that's constructive... and makes complete sense :?

He's comparing it to Hasbro only making Classics Starscream and Skywarp, and not doing a Thundercracker.

Well, you see last year Hasbro released the very popular classics line. But they only released Starscream and Skywarp. Thundercracker was a botcon exclusive.

This issue made people
a) Very angry indeed
b) Some actually stopped collecting
c) Some got banned I think


Not doing a spotlight for Springer when you've already done the rest of the team- even Wheelie- is kinda the same sort of issue.



Scrubs is indeed awesome. I look forward to catching up on the rest of the brand new season when I go to a mate's on thursday.


EDIT:- Curse you jazz :P

right ok, didnt know they made a classics Skywarp but there you go. Ive seen the exclusive Thundercracker, i like him, but ive got a classics SS and a reissue Skywarp so ive kinda got that mold sorted (plus i aint really into his colour scheme).

I cant believe how blooming sad some people are, stopping collecting figures just because hasbro only do 2 repaints (kinda like the masses keep asking them to do) where they mostly yanks by any chance?

north-east (in other words middlesbrough) on saturday (last week) i went to the town (again its just what we say for middlesbrough) and i checked around in all stores that sell transformers. heres what i found today

Woolworths: 2 Allspark camshaft figures, allspark landmine (which i bought ^^) 2 recon barricades, 2 voyager blackouts (and they look like the gimmick has been fixed!), a leader megatron, some real gears, like 300 movie legend megatrons and a very small number of other movie legend figures and a couple of jazz and frenzy robot replica's. Oh and a lot of cliffjumper and jazz cyber slammers

Argos: a allspark camshaft (hardly anything instock there -_-) and probably a couple of movie voyagers ^^

Forrbidean planet: 3 deluxe payloads, a deluxe dropkick, optimus and megatron unleashed turn table things, a bunch of robot replica's and fast action battlers frenzy and megatron

thats about it :P also anyone know where i can get a soundwave for tf2 sig picture if you do can you send me the link? thanks also my cliffjumper came today :D

I relieve the rage by beating puppies, putting them in sacks, and throwing them in the river severn :P


It's not Frimal. But the internet- and limewire- and truly wonderful things :wink:


Well...we were pretty vocal about it too (mainly because we'd have to pay $330 for it)....


But no, I think the dramatics that quit the game were indeed yanks.


Plus, you finally understand why everyone calls Counterpunch the douche! :lol:



Pay to play, I'll never forget that slogan :P




EDIT:- Glad you found your way in here bbp. ;)^

The tf stocks around Britain really are starting to pick up again at last.


For a Soundwave sig, you'll want to get hold of the pic of Soundwave you want, an idea for the text and background, and then open a thread somewhere. I also recommend sending a copy of the post to Sustain. She's very handy with photoshop (boy am I keeping her busy :P ).

Welcome aboard the fine ship ODB mate. Post often, and most importantly, don't forget that this thread isn't all about what you've seen in the shops - make sure you join in the random nonsense we talk about.
