Poor Metroplex, he must look like he has an army of leeches stuck to him.

I have the Dark Saber team on Megatron right now, it does look a little odd for a tank to have two small airliners hanging off his shoulders.

Why not take a look at the Seibertron toy galleries? They are a brilliant resource.

Yeah, the Star Saber changed hands quite a few times. I love Armada, it certainly had my favourite Starscream and Megatron. And Armada Skywarp just looks wicked.

A notice to all collectors living around Worthing

Posted by Justicity Sat Mar 08, 2008 2:30 pm

I'm currently working in Argos at Lyons Farm, Worthing, England, and I found a nice haul when I went to work today. Most of them are old figures but some people may not have them.

We once again have in stock:
Leader Prime
Leader Megatron
Ratchet
Blackout
Battle Scene Bumblebee
Battle Scene Barricade
And... CLIFFJUMPER

Just thought it would be nice to let other Worthingers know this as I know there are some around the site.

They'll probably be gone within a few weeks so this thread can die once those it applies to have seen it.

:lol: So I read.

How much you want? (I have about 550,000 sitting in my account atm)
Explain what the hell is going on in your sig too would you. It's creeping me out.


The Energon sabre team was the best IMHO. Looked so much cooler than their dark and light powerlinx cousins.


Wish I'd picked up armada TC now. I won't be buying him now though- as there are things I'd much rather buy- but it's the only seris since G1 to actually have all three seekers officially released AFAIK

Nah, I don't need any really. I'm far too low level to be worrying about Energon. Wish I hadn't mentioned it now though as I just learned it was against the rules. D'oh. #-o

As for the sig, Neuro is giving Yako a rather rough noogie. =D

Yeah, the Energon Star Sabre rocks, I should now as I have them, and I didn't imagine them this time :wink: Rodimus is good as well as is Armade Thundercracker, actually, ome to think of it, Armada was actually a really good line...

Dunno if anyone's posted about this but I picked up these k/o in Poundland Bradford - they appear to be loosely based on Dreadwind and Darkwing!

Pretty cool nonetheless!

I think its the extra gimmick that people don't like - that's what I don't like anyway. The transformation should be enough to sell the toys - I don't want a stupid key with every TF I buy to unlock a secret weapon (or a minicon for that matter).

yeah thats something that really pisses me off with cybertron armourhide, to reveal his chest missles you have to use a cyber key, which makes a damn good toy with a cool but perculur transformation, bad!

Personally, I quite liked the mini con gimmick, I always liked getting two TF's for the price of 1 :grin: But the cyber keys are just plain stupid, they don't add anything to the toys
