I'm not familiar with the timeline of Neo toys. I would guess Guiledart came out first, but I can't say. Takara is crafty. Thy make it hard to tell chicken or egg.


I'm not sure if they were tooled together, but as far as the series timeline goes, Killer Punch is a completely different character that Guildart. Guildart is a staple character whereas Killer Punch comes around much later in the series. As far as toys go, however, their molds are extremely similar, so I imagine the mold was reused to a degree.

Not sure if that helped any, but couldn't do any harm :lol:

Mach Kick is really unique, and I dig the horse hair. We gotta get him while he's cheap-ish. ;)

That's pretty cool you grew up on a horse farm, Cobes -- did you teach the Tronettes how to ride?

I took more pics of Nemesis, but I can't help but always include his Big Cannon.

KILLER PUNCH and Bazooka shoulda both been staple characters, Wingz! Such cool looking toys...

Big Bad Mammy is lookin good ;)

I so want the KP/Survive 2-pack. KP because he's obviously the best version. And Survive... I don't know. I never had his Stateside counterpart Polar Claw. He is clearly a dumb, clumsy figure... but I've always wanted one! 8-}

It's allzabout that KILLERPUNCH/Survive(!) pack! But I would settle for just KP at a reasonable price. ;)

I had forgotten all about Polar Claw until Cobbes told me about Survive -- the only bear on my mind was Pretender Chainclaw, so I was glad to know there's more bearformers.

Thanks again for finding MegaHead for me, Shaj -- the colors are KEY! :BOWDOWN:

All Hail Grand Mal Megahead megatron

Unleashing the Darkness within the Dead Matrix had not only caused time space to contract, but expand as well.

In that moment, the timeline diverged yet again -- in one instance, Vector Prime had escaped, and was rescued by the Maximals/Autobots.
IMG_0175.JPG
Sliding Doors
In another, instead of escaping, Thunderwing notices Vector Prime fleeing and decides he must continue with Magmatron's plan -- but with himself becoming the Immortal Emperor of Destruction.

With all these machinations at play, T-Dubz had always planned to double-cross Magmatron....and then to triple-cross the leader of his universe: Grand Mal Megatron.

I'll help you keep an eye out for KP at a reasonable price ;) still keeping an eye out for Archadis/Airaptor's gun, too, since I thought I remember you saying he was missing it :lol:

Frightening?! You just made my day, Wingz. ;)^

I didn't know what to expect from MegaHead, but wow -- the Takara paint job just pops for this Beast Wars Returns incarnation. The transformation was surprisingly involved as well, with the rotation of his legs making me the most nervous -- so much that I thought I was missing a tab....turns out the figure was just NM and needed some force to get his legs to the right spot.

For the most part, he'll remain in Head mode, but I really like the look of his bot mode too!

Thanks for keeping an eye out. :)

Is there something you're currently hunting for? In addition to dat Tako Tank? :MAXIMAL:

:lol: :lol: :lol: Reminds me of a figure I have. I was trying to transform him, but the instructions told me to do something that didn't look possible. Ended up taking a butter knife to the...lower region of that figure to get it to move :shock: was so scared of hurting him...I still apologize when I pass him to this day. I'm glad you were able to get it to move without hurting him =D

It's definitely a good looking figure! Very menacing. ;)^ and no problem! A few of the best deals I've ever purchased were due to being made aware that they were there. Definitely helps when multiple eyes are on the lookout!

I actually have three figures that should be here Monday :-D Original version of Big Convoy (thank you, Cobo!!!) and the VS pack with Corahda (my favorite character from Big Convoy's team :x sooooo excited to have the toy soon!) and Saberback (my first dinosaur figure! It amazes me that I've lasted this long without getting one with how much I love the beast era!).

Tako Tank, definitely. A good deal on it eludes me still :( Wouldn't mind a Guildart, but I don't need the VS with Longrack :lol: Those seem to be the only deals I've found, ironically enough. Might end up getting the two pack and either trying my hand at a repaint or finding a good home for it :lol: I absolutely love my Longrack! Poses very well for how top-heavy it is and just looks really detailed. The tongue sticking out is funny, but I still like it since pushing it in actually moves the eyes under the plastic :lol: Makes me laugh that they actually made it that way.

I had to watch multiple videos just to make sure I was doing it right with MegaHead's legs! I could tell exactly what I needed to do but he wouldn't just rotate smoothly. In the end, I just pushed on a part that looked secure enough and it worked (whew!).

It's nothing like when I tried transforming DX9's Tyrant the first few times -- some figures require force, but I just hate that. :p

Trypticon was the first figure I had to bring out the butter knife for....

Ooh, so you got some sweet BW figures coming soon! NICE :)

Big Convoy's mold is just so cool -- it makes me want all the different versions.

The Corahda VS Saberback pack! The VS packs are the best. I almost bought the set with Mach Kick and Archadis, for the pony & the gun. But I couldn't pull the trigger; guess I'm willing to buy Ponyboy on his own, too. :MAXIMAL:

There was a time space Unicron considered devouring this Cybertron...but instead, it was conquered and now ruled by former-Predacon-turned-Vehicon Megatron.

Gotta conquer 'em all!
Having squashed Optimus Primal, nothing stood in his way. Besides the lingering Maximal Resistance, and the few sentient Deceptions he allowed to remain as counsel, of course.

But when words and remote AI-control is not enough, there's always the lifeless chassis of a former Autobot defense super-fortress.

Upon Magmatron's return from the planet Gaia, the Cybertron from his memory bank was no more.

Prepare for TERMINATION
Branded as a beast shellformer, he retreated into the depths of Cybertron, recruiting friends and former foes alike, to unite through might.

Learning of Thunderwing's betrayal & abduction of Vector Prime, Magmatron rages -- and decides MegaHead's reign of technological purity must end.

Setting off on his quest, the ever-loyal (and still functioning!) Bazooka continues to follow Magmatron's every command.

He made a promise, after all.
Picking up on an electromagnetic surge nearby, the two investigate, fearing the worst...

Heaven or Hell? FIGHT
Rehabilitated, but forever cursed to be a Knight of Darkness, Convoy was sent back to end MegaHead's reign, before he enacts his plan to assimilate all sentient constructs across the multiverse using the Power of the Primes.

Magmatron is surprised to see him alive, and now more Maximal than Nemesis.

Yes, it's Wei Jiang's MPP10! I love his size and he's certainly durable -- but I have yet to pick-up some fellow OS'd bots, Cary. I considered the OS Megatron....but went with the MP, in the end (SOON!).

Thanks, Wingz! I remember when I watched TF Prime, I really liked this Ratchet -- but never bothered to track him down. I'm glad I didn't have to, and he does 'surly' well.

Welcome, nfvasher619! Glad you like the pics -- memes and themed pics are what keep me collecting, honestly. If I had to identify the prize of my collection, it would probably be the MISB Transformers Collection (Reissue) Leaders: Megatron. But that only seems to go for ~$120. But the toy and character were always special to me, so that's why it's still MISB.

The reissued MP should be coming soon....!

Thanks Cary! You're right -- I had no idea Ratchet went from $30-$40! It's been since the G1 original since I've had a Ratchet, so it's been a long time coming; I'm happy to have him. :)

I think Megatron should be coming this week, Shaj! I chose the slow-boat from Japan method, but you know he's getting pictured ASAP. But when shall I transform him? Well....we'll see. Maybe I'll just use the accessory-sized Walther P-38 that came with MP Soundwave. :CON:
