Yeah, cheers Tek - the syncing issues weren't enough to make it unwatchable. It was an ok episode - a bit pointless really, although Bulkhead reeling off the list of reasons why Sari has no record of her existence was quite funny simply because I've seen them all posted on here

Thanks Tek! We knew you'd come through for us!
Will it be up for the rest of today? I'll have to wait til I get home before I can watch it...


And Waaaaghlord speaks truth! It'll be like the old days!
Sort out how many want, and who can act as distributors. No problemo.


I've got meself on the TFsource mailing list, so I'll post about it when they email me.

Nothing new. Just 3 days until I can have Landmine!
Still saving up for the armour. I've mustered between £10-£30 this far (exact number depends on whether I have a good day or not :P).

FanTransformers now has it up. I would imagine he/she/it has fixed the sync issues.

In toy news, Tesco has ended their Transformers sale.

I rather enjoyed that episode. It's interesting to see that Ultra Magnus isn't commander of Cybertron.

Just ordered myself that Walmart Screamer that I was prattling on about a couple of pages ago. My Screamer collection is getting well into the double figures now.

Picked up a couple of the Alspark legends 2 packs on Sat. Got the BBee/Scorponok and Ironhide/Desert Blackout.

Scorps is the best legend ever. Loads of articulation for something so small!

All hail Forbidden Planet! Went to the Southampton Megastore on Saturday and picked up a whole bunch of old US/UK TF graphic novels and Energon volume 1 for £2.99 :grin: So, have I missed anything good around here over the past couple of days?

Bah! Everyone with their new shiny figures, it's making me jealous :P

No real TF news, but one awesome story.

Me and the girlfriend hadn't hung out in quite a while, so we agree to hang out last night. She says 'I chose some films for us to watch' and inwardly I groaned, expecting something like 'Enchanted' or some appalling Hugh Grant romcom, but what does so go and pull out from a bag?

I love dessert blackout! Legends Scorp is way better than the deluxe.

Hey, Oddsey, any chance of you showing us some nice pictures of Scorponok's alternate mode, and desert Blackout's robot one? The only Legends-class figures I can find are Megatron, in Woolworths. Forbidden Planet don't sell 'em. They used to have a few Optimus Prime legends-class figures in Woolworths, but I have no idea where they got to. Probably into the hands of a little brat who wanted something to chew.

Awwww, scared Scorponok is so cute. It makes me want to give him a hug before he impales me on his stinger.

Yeah, no prob. Just taken a few and uploading 'em to Photobucket now. Give me 15min or so.
Have you got a big Tesco or Asda anywhere near you? Both will prob have a good selection of Legends.

Forgot to mention this.
If anyone wanted a Cybertron Dark Scorponok, try TK max. The two Notts stores had a couple in each @£12.99, so not a bad price for a figure that you might not find anywhere else.

Not exactly a Black Zarak but I may just have to check that out. Just replaced my dodgy VCR/DVD combi with a dedicated DVD player that actually works (!) so I'm watching season one of Beast Machines. Great series, Transformers at it's darkest. Must make a point of picking up the kick a$$ season two shortly. Also grabbed a Legends Bonecrusher while I was at Tesco. Not bad, but I'm still not convinced by the whole asthetic of the movie line. Roll on Animated and Universe.
