I'd like to point out a monumental occasion to everyone that concerns Seibertron.com. I have just passed the millennium mark, 1000 news posts, in the short time I've been on the site! Back in June '09, Seibertron let me on to the News Crew, and I've been giving you guys the fastest TF news on the net ever since. I'm the fourth person to ever do this, behind Seibertron himself, and the retired Alex Kingdom and Hotrod. Now this isn't just me waiving my stick of glory around, a big thanks goes out to my fellow staff members and of course, you guys, for being here and helping the community be what it is. We've been through our ups and our downs, but most importantly, we've had our fun. And that's what I want you to do when you read this. If you've been holding off on buying a figure, contemplating shipping your pile of loot, tempted to pull the trigger on a B/S/T thread... just do it now, it's a party! Having trouble making choices?

Gentai Strafe and Dark Skyfire are $52 US and $48 US on BBTS. That's like half their first release price!

Enough about me, how about yourself? Are there any monumental Transformers memories that have happened because of this website?

Woah, you want more.

Well hold it Suzy, you're getting more.

Alot of people have wondering about the toyline for Transformers 3. Well here's a hint. This character's getting a brand new figure, and that will make him the first Autobot to have a figure in the Deluxe, Voyager and Leader class size.

Now let's just say there's alot more speed inside this Blurrz. Expect a few 'rumor mill' posts to start showing up from yours truly and the mysterious Mach.

Alright. Go buy Strafe already, he's freaking $52!

Here's to a 1000 news posts and a 1000+ more.

Blurz, you certainly seem to be the fastest News Crew member in the west!

Movie OP has had legend, voyager and leader toys but so far only a classics deluxe so maybe it is he. I wonder if it'll be like a mini voyager who was like a mini leader...

Well, special memories relating to this site? Probably three quarters of my TF purchases this century have been a result of this site! As a result of Hasbro's poor distribution to Europe I have to buy figures online and thanks to this site I know what figures are available. I can also trawl the galleries to see if I think it's worth the money!

Congrats sir, keep up the good work.

(My guess is Ironhide)

Congrats dude, you work too hard.

Wow, 1000 news posts? That's nuts, congratulations.

So, Mach is you? :lol:

I too credit most of my TF purchases to this site. I just went out and bought Leader Starscream on sale, does that count as a party? And as soon as I can get my hands on him, Highbrow will be mine. I should maybe cool it though, with Christmas coming up...

Hmm. Autobot with a Deluxe, Voyager & Leader class...Ratchet? Nah, who wants that.

Congratulations, Blurrz. Keep feeding us. :APPLAUSE:

Hate to think about this, but Bumblebee?

News Credits: 1 · Mon Nov 22, 2010 12:07 pm

i thought bumblebee already had all three sizes...if not a voyager then my guess is it will be voyager bumblebee, they have whored him out nonstop since the first movie

Mon Nov 22, 2010 1:17 pm

Bumblebee has a "Supreme" price point version, not a Leader, although perhaps his HA incarnation MIGHT count as a Voyager.

I say it's got to be someone who has had a Leader and a Voyager, or a Leader and a Deluxe size class already, which would mean Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, or Brawl.

Another option (unlikely) would be a Leader class of a figure with a Deluxe and a Voyager incarnation already. This means Ratchet or Ironhide (if sticking with actual Movie characters), or Bludgeon if expanding to the toyline characters.

So that's Prime, Screamer, Megs, Brawl, Ratchet, or Ironhide. Or maybe Bludgeon.

Odds are highly against getting a Leader Ratchet or Leader Ironhide, so they're out.

Brawl was toast in the first movie, so that means no Voyager for him.

This means Megatron, Starscream, and Prime are our primary suspects. I'd tilt the odds away from Starscream for multiple reasons and I end up agreeing with Mykltron. It's Optimus Prime, getting a Deluxe scale Movieverse toy.

Congrats man, keep it up.

Thanks for taking after your namesake, Blurrz.

News Credits: 1452 · Fri Nov 26, 2010 5:29 am

Thanks for the love guys!

Man, so many Takara exclusives are getting discounted at BBTS... I'm just waiting for Takara Animated to take a huge dive down.

Fri Nov 26, 2010 9:15 pm

Congratulations Blurrz!

Thanks for the heads up on the sales. I haven't been on BBTS in a while.

And thanks again for your mysterious hint on DOTM. I am already eliminating characters in my head as to who it could be.

Congrats, Blurrz!

Gratz, Blurrz!

Man, the prices keep dropping, and yet I continue to be broke thanks to Black Friday shopping for family...

Sat Nov 27, 2010 4:13 pm

Congrats on the 1000 news posts. Thanks for keeping us updated on the news!

Because of this site, I was able to get a complete, metal version, G1 Predaking. Cheap.

Ok if my memory is correct there are only three possibilities:
Leader class Ratchet
Leader class Ironhide
Deluxe class Optimus Prime

And thanks for the "rumor mill" post notification Blurrz. I'm always up for that, and I never forget what slips out.

Oh...actually, I may be wrong. If we count the movie preview protoform Optimus Prime, then it brings us down to two. Ratchet would seem weird to be a leader class scalewise. Then again, so would Ironhide scalewise unless my theory here is correct...
Ironhide was not present in the Kennedy Space Center filming possibly because he changed his alt-mode somehow into a new vehicle that uses an all CGI model on screen.
