That would be lovely to get home and be greeted with all that 3rd Party loveliness!
Nom, nom, nom!!

Hey Seibertronians!

Spotted these fun lil add-ons for everyones favourite movie Leader Optimus Prime, but as quick as they where ripped from their packaging, Masterpiece Thundercracker snatched them to play with!

KO Optimus Prime Battle Blades!

Finally got a TFC-005 set and some Dr Wu Prime Swords in as well as the missile and gun upgrade for my Fansproject Shadow Commander.





Got these in too for some custom gunfire action.

All of you people are making me wanting my Paladin/Chaos even more.

All of you people are making me wanting my Paladin/Chaos even more.

I was looking back at the various photos of those sets and they do still look pretty awesome!

I would like to grab a set of each, Jungle and Marine version, as the many different variations that are possible would really make those Power Core Convertors POP!

Power Core Combiners dammit!

I'm not really interested in the other two sets, I just want the BIG one.
I have way too many limb drones as it is, it's the Commander I'm really after (and of course, the glorious Fallen mode).

I am not really keen or bothered about picking up the drones which go with the Plastic Core Combiners!

Although watching some of Peaugh's video reviews where he has swapped around the drones to create better looking 'hands and feet' really does work for a better looking Power Core Combuster!

Are those black and orange versions available yet?

[Va'al]

And this is the Marine deco.



Looking at the pictures again, I do like the other sets.
Dammit.

[robotmel]

I believe the release date has been pushed back a bit, Im sure Va'al can fill you in on dates?

I wonder how the pre-sales have gone with The Fallen homage? There just seems like too much orange, I know thats kinda his secondary colour, but he just looks too odd?

[Va'al]

Paladin/Chaos is on preorder on most online retailers, with dispatch due March.

Although it's already been moved from November, to December, to January, to April, to March, so take it with a pinch of salt!

Just got Xtransbot Powerglide a few days ago. I ordered him when he was $30 from Chimungmung.

I really like the transformation and the overall look - he looks like he stepped right out of the TV! Sadly, the plastic quality is sub par. There were stress marks right out of the box and the silver dot on his head already had some wear. Well, it is a KO, after all.

He looks pretty odd next to my other Neo G1 minibots, both official and otherwise. Odd, but not terrible, I don't mind a mishmash of styles. Overall, I don't think I'll ever need another Powerglide.

As I sit here at work, a small, perfectly formed addition to my world awaits release from his enclosure at home?

No, my wife hasnt given birth yet!

Heres a hint!

[robotmel]

My Neo-Classics version of The Wreckers nears its fulfillment with the welcome addition of Mech iDeas Demolition Crue DC01 Apex and DC02 Geminus!

ToyWorld TW-T01 Grind Rod aka Roll Bar

Toyworld have stepped up once again with Grindrod which is their take on the Autobots Throttlebot Roll Bar and what a figure he is.
Solid and very well articulated, Toyworld have managed to pull off an awesome update with this large Deluxe figue.

With a suberb likeness of a very popular 4x4 vehicle, this cool figure comes with a hidden weapon, tucked away inside its spare tyre. Nice touch.

Wow Toyworld, WOW!

Actually this are my second KO haul, but the first one was gifted to me by friends of the US family, as such I've had no chance to fiddle with it, much less see it up front. I do know it's not Transformers, rather it's a KO of God Max from Brave Exkaiser. Should anyone be interested I'll try and get my father-in-law to send some pictures.

Anyway, back to my haul, a Big Bazar store just opened in my home town, think of that chain as a cross between Dollar Tree and Big Lots! You guessed it, I found Transformers KO's there, and quite interesting ones:

They're upscaled versions of Classics Mirage, with new parts including the combiner head of PCC Huffer/Crankcase!

Expect a more detailed review later

Finally got Top Spin and Twin Twist for myself. They're really nice. I have very little attchement to these guys, but felt like getting them because of the hype. One of the few times it've felt good about it.

Also got their Shockwave conversion set ... ONLY got the guns! Their shocky looks AWSOME with WFC Shockwave. I may yet replace him, but for now he's properly equipped.

When I first saw the Megatron gun I had some hopes it'd work with Label Soundwave. It's just slightly too big. This is a real missed opportunity. Since my Classics Screamer had the gun that came with the G1 re-release of SS, I gave the Megatron gun to Scourge. Because why not?

Or maybe I'll switch it for the re-issue gun and give that to Hegemon so I can have an "animation error Megatron" leading my Decepticon forces. Hmmmmmmmm ...

I would love it if these turned up in my local Market or such like, I love a cheeky knock off now n then!
Still need a PCC Huffer in my collection, although a Deluxe Classic Huffer would be nice!

I didn't know what I was thinking when I got them actually. Normally I'm dead against Knock-Off, but this one struck a chord in me. I don't know why, maybe it's the head, maybe it's the combination of colors (I have a weak spot for yellow and blue). I haven't toyed with them yet, too stressed over RL matters like Taxes. But I will in due time.

I swear, the store has a butt load of them. At €1.99 ($2.50, £1.75) a pop, they're dirt cheap.

Are you still looking for a PCC Salvage?

[robotmel]

Spotted these funny little fellas whilst in my local Poundland!

Power Warriors Gyro Fighter!

Not sure if these are a knock off of an official Transformers line or if the company behind them have just 'borrowed' the head sculpts, but you can clearly tell the red one is Optimus and the green one is maybe Bumblebee?

Sure am, but I'll be going on a trip this weekend. I should have a review of the guys when I'm back.
