The newly announced Universe Silverbolt. He does look good for a cardboard cutout!

That means we now have the main parts of all S1&2 combiners except for Menasor.

I really REALLY want Universe stunticons...

I already have an Armada Scavenger on the way to be my Classics Bonecrusher. Will just slap a Decepticon symbol on him.

Which will mean I will have Ultra class figures for every combiner group but the Stunticons.

Come on, Ultra Motormaster! (Menasor!)

He does look quite good, doesn't he :wink:

Shame Classics haven't done any actual combiners :-(

Wait - we have a new Hotspot? I don't recall that being announced.

Silverbolt does look cool though, can't wait to see his bot mode.

If I could resist spending money on Animated then I wouldn't have to think about which ones I'm going to buy. But its been such a long time since I had a spending spree.

Fri Apr 04, 2008 10:32 am

well ill be picking up leader bulkhead (for headmaster) megs and maybe grimlock, but im not sure if ill bother with any more. as for classics, theres a fair few, the only deffinate no so far is tankor and sunstreaker

Superion is the only G1 combiner I have (bought as a kid) so I'm really glad 'bolt is getting an update. If only hasbro made some new mold combiners though.

Fri Apr 04, 2008 12:00 pm

as a kid between me and my bro we had most of them, burticus and efensor were my favourite, but most of our aerialbots were g2, so it looked kinda crap tbh

Oh yeah, Defensor.

I couldn't care less, otherwise I would have considered them worth remembering. It annoys me that he just showed up one day with no explanation.

Fri Apr 04, 2008 3:12 pm

well i think i may go completist in the Animated line, at least for all the actual in-show bots, i love the show and think the toys look fantastic

Also my birthday pressie (Takara G1 MP03 Screamer) arrived yesterday, from the far east in only 6 days, unfortunately i cant open it for a few weeks, aint my birthday til the 22nd :-(

Deluxe: Bumblebee, Prowl, Lockdown, Blackarachnia
Voyager: Ratchet, Prime

Leader: Megatron, Bulkhead, Lugnut

Though I could maybe go for Megatron as an Ultra instead of a Leader.

That's pretty much the ideal setup. I'd like Jazz to be deluxe, UM to be leader and Sentinel to be ultra. That'd be awesome.

Silverbolt looks **** awesome. I must see his bot mode now!
I think I will stick to show toys for animated. I'll be at uni, so I'll more than likely be a lil strapped for cash.

I must concentrate on universe first and foremost. Must.

You'll only be strapped for cash under 3 circumstances:

1. You go to a uni where they force you to buy lots of books (throughout my 3 years I've only been told to buy 2)

2. You become addicted to alcohol and end up going out every night

3. Your parents won't pay for the essentials (ie rent, fees, food)

I was lucky in that none of the above applied in my first year, so I still have over £3000 of my first year loan left.

So far the show is being very inconsistent with Bulkhead's size. Sometimes it looks like he'd be Leader, being the same size as Lugnut and Megatron. But other times he is only marginally taller than Prowl and Prime.

It's frustrating.

I suppose if I had to make a choice I'd have Bulkhead downgraded to Ultra class with Blitzwing and Starscream. Lugnut should be the biggest of this line IMO.

News Credits: 6 · Fri Apr 04, 2008 4:26 pm

^ Agreed. The scale for animated is as bad as G1

I'm getting tired of noticing Prowl change size! He's been as big as Prime, and the same size as Bumblebee! :HEADHURTS:

That's comforting, because I don't really fit into any of those three either (I do drink a fair bit, but I'm a charmer you see. Free booze is my bag

)

I hope I get that grant for my a-levels. It's £1000! I could use that to buy all the tfs I want, and then put the rest away!

That grant would be very useful, especially if you don't get the full loan available to you

Fri Apr 04, 2008 6:41 pm

G-rant? Loans? What are you on about?

I'm sorted for Uni. Art needs no 'books'. I'm super anti-social so I hardly drink, and I am currenty learning how to run off geothermal and solar energy, so I don't need food either. :p

All my moneys can go on Tf's and random junk! Ace! :mrgreen:

And good call with the scale thing, I noticed it too, it might actually be worse than G1

Want figures so much! I will ship em over, can't wait that long!

News Credits: 2 · Fri Apr 04, 2008 6:56 pm

Fortunately Animated is good enough for me to forgive the lacking animation.

But only on the proviso that they give red face Blitzwing more terminator quotes and have kremzeek face Blitzwing sing Numa Numa.

"Mayahiiiiiiiii! Mayahooooooooooooo! Mayahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Maya-ha-ha!"

Fri Apr 04, 2008 7:13 pm

You should make a video of that for us, just in case for some wacky reason it never makes it into the show

Blitzwing is by far the best character so far. :mrgreen:

I hadnt seen the one that was on today, hehehe, art. ^^

Although I do find it slightly odd they have no qualms about building robots and sending them to their doom, that's like wrong. Weird zombie robot slave thing going on....

News Credits: 2 · Fri Apr 04, 2008 7:20 pm

I'll put it along side my other two music videos. I will need more footage first though. Perhaps when the series ends.

Can't wait for today's episode, will be interesting to see how Megatron gets beaten.

Fri Apr 04, 2008 7:35 pm

You should do, before someone else does!

I enjoy Animated, far too much. Alas I will be missing all TV for the next few days, and internet, ah well, wont get any spoilers at least.

Also, I fixed my xbox! :mrgreen:

I shook it lots, and it worked again! Maybe it had the fake ring of death, or I'm magic. Not that I actually played it mind....

News Credits: 2 · Fri Apr 04, 2008 7:38 pm

I'm so... happy... that you fixed your Microsoft product.

I spent all the money I had saved for a new console on Transformers. So uhh... I probably won't get a Wii until next month now.

But holy cow the finished Leader Megs looks awesome, even without all the detailing in Toyfare magazine that we would never get on the mass release.

I will be camping out at Tesco until they get him in stock and hold off the kids with a long pointy stick.

Fri Apr 04, 2008 7:46 pm

Ohnoes! Microsoft is taking over! Oh wait...

How do you manage to buy any of this expensive stuff at all? You always seem to be buying lots of less expensice things you want less instead.

You wont be alone in the camping outside of Tesco for Megs, he's so awesome looking. I bet you give the last one to a random child

News Credits: 2 · Fri Apr 04, 2008 7:50 pm

Not this time, buddy! I will be ruthless! Merciless!

I will crush anyone who comes near the display! Whether they are snot nosed five year old TF noobs, or thirty something obese TF nerds.

Noone is getting it before me! NOONE! You hear me, human?! NOONE!

Fri Apr 04, 2008 7:56 pm

That's the spirit! No mercy!

I, will make sure I go to a different Tesco than you...

News Credits: 2 · Fri Apr 04, 2008 8:03 pm

If I still worked for Smiths I'd actually be able to order myself a case of each and get them early and with discount! =( But... it's not worth going back to retail. Nothing is worth that.

Fri Apr 04, 2008 8:09 pm

Aye, couldnt agree more. Oh! Could you not ask someone who still works there to order for you?

I wonder if anyone actually likes working in retail?

I prefer shoveling horse poops all day...
