So proud of my awesome Seekers. XD

Looking mighty fine!

I'm hoping they do Sunstorm too.

^ As do I! I'd love a sunstorm!

Just a friendly reminder that TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED IS ON TV RIGHT NOW!

News Credits: 2 · Tue Mar 25, 2008 11:36 am

Even if I had Sky/Cable I wouldn't watch it because I already have every episode on my computer.

Personally I don't like Sunstorm. Though it would be nice to make a part 2 for this comic.

I've seen it all (at least all that is out thus far), but there's something nice about watching it on tv.

That, and I want to support Hasbro UK and associates on this one. Nothing says 'give us more tfs!' then a large number of people watching their tf show. ^^

The guy I bought Starscream from has closed all his auctions. =( They were really cheap too.

I just ordered Prime and will order another one when he arrives. That should pace things out nicely.

i got all the classics i wanted when they were out over here (apart from hot rod, who i have on preorder) cant say im too bothered about the henkei ones, they dont look much different to me. and i deffo dont like the chrome cannons

News Credits: 2 · Tue Mar 25, 2008 12:45 pm

I didn't like the chrome on Screamer either. That's why I saved the guns from my old one. I like the Chrome spoiler on Prime though.

I am unsure though whether or not I should get Henkei Mirage or the regular Mirage.

What do you think?

Tue Mar 25, 2008 12:56 pm

ive only seen regular mirage and that was a rather brief look but he was pretty good actually, depending on how much nicer the henkei one is (and apart from astro train they are mostly worse as henkei imho) id get the normal classics, but as i say, i havent seen henkei mirage..................actually, ill go peek now lol

News Credits: 6 · Tue Mar 25, 2008 1:13 pm

Henkei Mirage is all shiny. His spoilers and bumpers are chromed. It's beautiful.

If I hadn't bought pretty much all the classics already, I would definetly get all of the Henkei figures. I much prefer their colour schemes. (but I do love my classics)

I used to have a catalogue of great pics for all of the henkei, classics, movie, alt, custom, mp, titanium and animated lines; but I lost it all when the computer was reset (they were meant to be safe in the saved data drive (D I think), but my "brilliant" father **** up rather spectacularly.

At least I got hold of copypod again. I managed to retrieve my itunes library from using that (and I'd put a copy of guitar pro 5 onto a flash drive

)

But anyway, besides the point.
tformers has pictures of the henkei figures I believe (as seen at winterfest or summat similar). I'll find a link.

Tue Mar 25, 2008 1:15 pm

just taken a peek at mirage, nope, i still prefer the classics one. why do all the henkei ones seem to be covered in chrome, or the shiniest plastic in the universe lol

This link should help. Or maybe this root one is better? http://tformers.com/transformers-takara ... /news.html

Just click on their names!

Pot- because they're retakes of the G1 versions! G1 was (and is) well known for its chrome whorage

Even if I had got all the Classics I would have gotten another Starscream. My last one was the first version Screamer with the crappy looking head, before they prettied him up using the Skywarp version of the mold.

I guess I'll get Henkei Mirage, then Bumblebee, and last of all Grimlock. Then it's just a matter of waiting for Astrotrain.

Tue Mar 25, 2008 1:25 pm

its also knwon for crap flexability, but classics dont take that too

excuse me, im being pedantic. I dont mind a bit of chrome whorage, but look at grimlock henkei ffs, its just nasty

News Credits: 2 · Tue Mar 25, 2008 1:28 pm

Doesn't Henkei Grimlock have the advantage of being assembled correctly?

Tue Mar 25, 2008 1:41 pm

aint got a clue, but he's got that mass of misplaced chrome on his chest, and i hated the classics version, so that, with the ott chrome is a no way for me lol

Tue Mar 25, 2008 2:03 pm

i actually quite like classics grimlock, it's a great homage to pretender grimlock! i do not like the OTT chrome whorage on these figs though!

News Credits: 6 · Tue Mar 25, 2008 2:51 pm

I DO!!!!

I love Grimmy's shininess, so I'm glad I didn't get the classics version. Him being assembled properly is just the icing on the cake! ;)^

Tue Mar 25, 2008 3:02 pm

how wasnt the classics grimlock assembled correctly?

News Credits: 2 · Tue Mar 25, 2008 3:14 pm

His shoulders are on backwards.

Tue Mar 25, 2008 3:25 pm

is that it!? you had me thinking it was something really major and outlandish!

News Credits: 2 · Tue Mar 25, 2008 3:27 pm

If it were something more major it would never have been missed on the production line. In fact I'm surprised it was missed at all.

Tue Mar 25, 2008 4:19 pm

it dont matter if his head was on backwards, classics grimmie is probably the worst of the line. shouldve been bigger and much better imo, but hey, we have an MP grimmie round the corner to make up for it.

Ive just been playing with my skylynx, getting him to walk on his own, its proper funny, he's been chasing my cats round the kitchen mwahahahahahahahahahaha

Isn't MP Grimlock still a rumour for now?

News Credits: 1 · Wed Mar 26, 2008 3:45 am

MP Grimlock is still just a rumour. And I'm pretty sure that Classics Grimlock was not mis-assembled. His shoulders are supposed to have holes in the front in bot mode.
