When will Iget my BLITZWING DAMMIT!
All these questions hopefully answered in two days ODB newsreel!

He is, at botcon.
Because Redimus already took red, and blue looks odd
When Blitzwing is released. Wave 3 isn't he?

I am quick

There is nothing wrong with typing in blue

Dark blue no, but the blue I tried looked kind funky.

There's a better reason. Kaijubot uses blue

Dammit - that has thrown a massive spanner in the works as I had it all planned out what I was gonna buy. I really should read/watch the reviews people spend time doing.

I forgot about the 2-pack Prime RC, and may have to consider buying it now.

yeah, well even though Leader BH is still not quite to scale, he is better than the voyager version...he whould have to be supreme clase to be truly in show scale

True, I'll have to mull over the Prime situation

theres no way i'll be getting ninja prowl, wasn't to keen on him anyway but samuri side car looks awsome
as for the bulkhead scale im not overly fussed as i plan to put him with my main line up mostly- alternators

in fact i may aswell bring it up,
i dont get buying a whole line of tfs, its just crazy!
personaly i try to buy 1 vertion of each charachter (the best one) and put them on a shelf of eather autobots or deceptacons.
i'd love to buy all the toys i could but not only can i not afford to thers no space and imo having so many tfs all cramed up on a shelf looks cluttered and takes away from the better ones.
buying every vertion of your favourite character makes sense(looking at tekka) but ive got 3 bumblebees and i hate the lil guy! why did i buy them?! ok i 'neeeded' the clasic one but now the heneki looks better, i bought the camero becase i saw a cool repaint of hot rod and yeah concept bb is awsome bla bla bla
sorry im ranting -dont think ive done that on the internet before

anyway just thought i'd share my thoghts and dont get me wrong i got nothin but love for the people who do go all out, but i gotta control myself- it realy is an addiction

anyway what was i gonna say?
dealer thats a wicked arrangement with your bro, mine thinks there plastic crap but dont you ever wish you could switch allegeces?

Ooh, something I've been meaning to ask: does anyone know of somewhere to pick up Cybertron Cannonball for a reasonable price in the UK? I can get the Cannonball/Downshift pack imported for £18, but I already have Downshift and don't feel a need for another.

Oh, and anyone know if the LoC Evac mold is getting used again? I'd like to grab that without paying silly money for it.

chronic-- no need! We are allowed to mess with each other's figures whenever we like- we're both pretty careful, and neither of us need instructions.
It really is a great setup.

Sledge- can't help ya man, sorry

As for Prime, I was originally gonna get voyager, but considering the deluxe is more in scale with the rest of the cast, I'll be getting him instead.

Now I've just been looking at the armour stills from A Fistfull of Energon and the Prowl gallery here. I'm not at all sure how all of the armour pieces can translate properly to snap on armour that also transforms into a sidecar. I'm not sure what to do either.

News Credits: 6 · Thu May 29, 2008 3:18 am

I'm gonna wait, as Waaaaghlord's probably right.

If it's coming out, we'll probably see it at SDCC.

Sledge-- I was having a poke this morning, and found this http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=154164.

(Look under Cybertron)

Soundblaster's selling the set for $15, if you wanna try and save a bit.

He's a good guy to deal with; he got me Alt Prowl before now.

I'll be off to TRU in about an hour. Wish me luck guys!

deluxe Prime is only in scale with voyager BH, he would be out of scale with the other Bot deluxes

News Credits: 6 · Thu May 29, 2008 3:26 am

Scale is so **** up in this line it's unbelievable.

I'm gonna accept Prime to be no bigger than the rest of the bots, and BH be the biggest. It's the only way this is gonna work.

At least Prime gets a large deluxe figure...

lemme know whats up there, im tight on cash this week so ill only be going for the megs/prime 2 pack, is the headmaster bulklhead out yet??? im assuming thats the leader class one

Ah scale. What a pain in the ass.

This shot has been invaluable in making my (now defunct) animated choices.

Leader Bulkhead, Deluxe Prime, Deluxe Ratchet, are all a-ok.

Deluxe Prowl I could get away with, as he's meant to be a little lanky and the extra height will be easy to live with.

Bumblebee is the problem as the only way to reasonably scale him with the others will be Activators Bumblebee which isn't anywhere near as good as Deluxe. Still, if you want to make a nice battle scene or standing pose scene with them, Activators is the way to go.

So in conclusion, my best choices:

Leader Bulkhead
Deluxe Prime
Deluxe Ratchet
Deluxe Prowl
Activators Bumblebee

That pic makes Sentinel look massive! Interesting to note Ratchet's size comparedto prime though.

Headmaster Bulkhead is indeed leader class Bulkhead

Agh! I'm being helpful again! Agh! What is wrong with me!!! :shock:
