Folk tales aren't my thing, and I thought you were writing a story for me to take a look at?

Yeah I saw the the new movie. That's what prompted me to start watching the series again from the beginning.

MST3King at times as well, Teal'c is great to make fun of.

The episode where they meet Cassandra and everyone is in Biohazard suits except for Teal'c was fun. "Only weaklings hide from infectious diseases, Daniel Jackson! I do not need your suit! I am Teal'c! I am 'bad-ass'!"

I was going to write a story, but, if I can steal one, it's so much easier. ¬ ¬

Teal'c is great, I have no idea how he can pull of some of his lines without grining. Hehe, Indeed.^^

Alas, I miss early SG-1, I need to rewatch it as well. How long has it actually been going now?

I miss Apophis, I found him oddly camp yet likable for some reason. Going out by crashing into a planet while being covered in Replicators couldn't have been nice.

Anubis just isn't the same. He reminds me a lot of Lexx's "His Divine Shadow", who was uber-cool until you found out he was just a big bug. But then Lexx let itself down horribly in so many ways.

I found Anubis to be somewhat disapointing as well. I liked the whole infighting thing between the System Lords, and the differnt armour styles their guys had. I liked the whole style of the show, I'm a sucker for bling :P

I hope a new show starts up soon.

They don't wear the headgear anymore! I miss the Serpent guards, and the Horus guards. =(

A Serpent Guard, a Horus Guard, and a Setesh Guard meet on a neutral planet... It is a tense moment. The Serpent Guard's eyes glow... The Horus Guard's beak glistens... The Setesh Guard's nose drips.

I don't get it.

Double Jaffa-Jaffa kick! That is what I will call the Bicycle Kick from now on.

Until they make a movie where Teal'c actually does a double jaffa-jaffa I'm going to say yes.

Heh heh. I would watch that movie. Lots :mrgreen:

Is that SG MMO actually for reals? Seems like not much is happening with it...

I'm guessing it's still in development. I'm just wondering what factions will be in it all together, or if there will even be more than one.

I'd love to play as a Jaffa under some random Goa'uld, beating the snot out of Humans and Wraith. :P

I was wondering how they will balence it all, factionwise. If they do it right it could be so good, tactics and gate catching and races to random planets! I just want some shiney armour, don't care whos side I'm on. :P

I would prefer an FPS game though, perhaps mixed in with a little RTS. I'd love to invade the SGC with a team of Jaffa and take over General Hammond's office.

I enjoy the whole MMO thing, as well as FPSs, the two should be able to intertwin somehow, how hard can it be? I want to play with the phone in his office! ^^

I want to play WoW again :( Something is wrong with me.

Call up the President. Ask him if his refrigerator is running, then tell him he should go out and catch it.

Alternators in the UK

Posted by bumptious Sat Mar 29, 2008 6:51 am

Does anyone have information on where I can get Alternators (new, not second-hand) in the UK? The only ones I can find at present are Ravage and Wheeljack, both at Argos. Are Sunstreaker, Shockblast, Dead End etc still being sold in shops at all?

(PS I'm a "newbie" (hate that term) around here, so apologies if this is in the wrong forum section.)

Goddamn, it's good to see this thread still manages to jump a couple of lightyears between my posts... No wonder it's the longest thread the toy forum ever saw.

------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, yeah, recived Animated Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Cyb Mode Prime.

Bumbles: great little toy, nice altmode (although the painted bits arnt quite the same shade of yellow as the unpainted bits), fun transformation, nice and very posable robot mode and even the transforming hands/weapon gimmick isnt as naff as it looks o nthe photos.

Bulkhead: simple but fun, a veyr solid looking alt mode, a pretty simple but fun transformation and a very solid looking robot mode (even if those short legs do look very silly). It's paerhaps al ittle disapointing that his palm rocket sticks out further than the molded in version on the other hand, but it isnt really anything to worry about.

Prime: hmm, after what, 4 or 5 years of collection, I have encountered my first factory error (ignoring paint errors). Basicly, he has 2 left hands, which means his right hand is upside down, which looks slightly odd. I think it also stops him fitting together quite right in alt mode. Anyway, very nice slick looking alt mode with psudo-clever way of hiding his axe, fun transformation from alt to robot mode (a lot less fun trying to get the bugger back into alt mode) and very nice and posable robot mode (dispite the backwards hand).


------------------------------------------------------

In my last post, I ment Police... Honestly, you lot must know by now how bad my typing can be...

------------------------------------------------------

And finally, the HMW tourniment starts tonight!

Be there, or be a German!

*discalimer*
Deadmetal is sadly already a German, but he might be there anyway.

lulz :P

I'll be there. My team are ready for war!


I'm still trying to decide what class to get each of the figures from. I want them to be as close to show scale as possible (which'll be hard. I swear Prime's already changed size at least once :MAD: )

I think I'll defo be getting leader Bulkhead though. Even if it's just for the headmaster unit 8)



SG is awesome. I stopped watching when the silly supergate opened, everyone got blown to pieces, and were all back again the next episode :HEADHURTS:
