Took a second TR Windblade to make a custom.

She will become Sari Sumdac from TF Animated "Season Four". When she manage to become a headmaster and Sumdac Inc have created a transtector body for her.

This screenshot from the show give a pretty good reference on what she may look like:



Stay tuned!

Whoo-hoo! The Walmart where I finally found my broken Nitro Zeus restocked again and I was able to exchange him. Thunderwing is pleased to have a fully functional body, and loves being a pilot. Nitro Zeus' head looks pretty badass on TR Megatron as well. I have CW Leader Megs too, so I may just keep Leader Megs as my Megatron and make up a new head-cannon character Nitrotron...

THat Thunderwing on Nitro body is what I been wanting to do ever since finding out Nitro had a Titan Master port. Not that I can afford either Nitro or the Thunderwing TM at present. Very cool though.

Finally opened twin twist and windblade. Both are great. I was least excited about windblade but I'm very impressed with the quality of the figure. TT is also a fun figure and can't wait to pair it with topspin.

Sweet mother of Primus does HTS ship fast.


Made this order on Wednesday and only used standard shipping. The Sharkticon came from Target though.

Arcee is nice, little more retooled than I thought she was, but i still think Takara Legends Arcee is better. Interestingly, while Leinad has a new head, he uses the Haywire body.






Also, interesting tidbit, LG Arcee can hold TR Arcee's guns with ease.

I don't trust Walmart and I REALLY don't trust my Toys R Us to get TR Slugslinger. So I bought it from my local geek store. I had to pay 5$ more than normal MSRP. Was it worth it?



HELL YEAH!
The Trigger Happy mold is so perfect and versatile, we can't ask for a better trio! For me, Trigger Happy, Misfire, and Slugslinger are the crown jewel of Titans Return and end the line on a high note.

I got some stuff this week....

MPM-3 Bumblebee. My third and final one, the proper TakaraTomy Japan version!



And finally TFTM OST Vinyl, original print!

Is Takara's MPM Bee different to Hasbro? Did they do it in the nice orange-yellow colour of other Bee toys?

The differences are negligible. Basically, it's all in the eyes. They're light piped, TT's are clear, and Hasbro's are blue (which look black without light). QC might be SLIGHTLY better on TT's, but my advice is grab whatever's cheapest.

Ah ok. I kinda detest lightpiped eyes (and often unscrew the heads of my figures to paint that transparent plastic the appropiate colours for the eyes and back of the head... which I later scrub off carefully if I sell the figure) but way things are going with my current financial situation they'll all likely be sold out and going for silly prices by time things get sorted. Thanks for the info. Sounds much less different that the MPM Prime then?

That Bee is so darn nice.

is that a sound chip in that G2 Starscream?

Light and sound. Think it does a gun and jet noise from what I recall.

Totally. Even side by side, the Bee's are hard to tell apart. The Primes are have enough differences to distinguish them at least.

It does, and still works on mine!

Thats very different than from what I remember people saying at first. I dont remember it too well but what I do remember back whe you and I were looking for differences was that people were far more satisfied with the TT version.

Found Nitro in the wild! Hell of a bot mode. Are there any titan masters that go particularly well with him? Mine are all still packed away with the bulk of my collection so I can't try any out.

Sorry Will, mine are basically the same. *shrug*

I bought him specifically to use with the Thunderwing die cast titan master and he looks great. Megatron's head also looks pretty badass. As a bonus, Nitro's head looks great on TR Megatron's body as well.

Nice haul

Not much at car boot sale today. Got a few Transformers including RID stuff I really don't think much of, and ANOTHER CW Rodimus (my 2nd one I currently have and 3rd one I've owned in total). Why can't I ever find the true version of this mold in which I mean Blackjack who looks cooler and this toy does not work for me as Hot Rod/Rodimus at all especially since better toys exist for him (like Titans and MP of which I own both). Found me some Mega Bloks figures for my other collection too which I kinda crossover with Transformers cos I think the lil human mini-figures look great for that scale purpose. I have no interest in Iron Man but can customise into other things if I want. Oh and there's a Kreo Optimus mini figure I got just cos it was in the Mega Bloks tray and has his gun.

BlackJack's been kicking about for a while now, you probably haven't been looking in the right places... mostly he can be found in The Original Factory Shop, I dunno about now...but I think he was once in Hamleys, dunno if B&M Stores still have him in too, if you had a store called XS Stock...he'd probably definitely be still there

Sorry I meant cheap in car boot sales and charity shops but yeah I've never seen Blackjack in shops either. Never heard of that original factory shop or xs stock. The first CW Rodimus I had came from B&M. It's not a big deal. I don't particularly need Blackjack but if I'm to find this mold again I'd rather it was him than useless the Rodimus redeco.

So I am finally the owner of an MP-10 and, as a cherry on top, thanks to a bit of a banged-up box, TRU went down to $130! I really couldn't be happier!

Nope, he's got Trailer, Spike, Roller, Axe, Matrix. He's complete (Toys R Us actually let me open the box and slide him out in store to make sure everything was there since the box was damaged.), everything was even still strapped to the bubble.
