Me too, Hasbro needs to make a purple vintage G1 Galvatron repaint

Theres old D62S that I mentioned, but I'm with Amelie, that's too light. Give me a darker bluer shade, not "light urple". Look it up

The extra dark purple blend myst have broken the bank for Takara back then

In general, I'm in agreement. (I own Hasbro's G1 Galvy, after all.) But, if we are wishing for a re-issue anyway, why not wish for one even more screen accurate.


Truthfully, I thought that Takara re-issue too lavender... Makes me think Galvy is sweet and nice...

I thought painting it silver costed Takara more than painting it a darker bluer color

I love my G1 Galvatron, he's probably in the best shape of all of my heavily played with G1s. And I would LOVE to own D62S, so no problems with "light urple" here Megatronus BUT!! Blue-purple, a "blurple", would be preferable I think. Or Honda paint code B95P, Electron Blue Pearl.

You know what? I've got some of that around somewhere..depending on the lighting it was blue, dark blue, blurple.

Come to think of it, Mazdas Indigo Lights Mica may work better. Hmm.

Ponder this, I will.

As far as I can tell, all he did was make everyone do a silly dance. I await my acknowledgement!

Back on topic..any other good ideas on TF:TM 30th Platinum Packs?!

'Dammit...OPEN!'

Fellow Seibertronians, fellow user Bridgemagnet has posted a video review of the 'Planet of Junk Clash' Platinum Edition Box Set. The review can be seen below, and a small gallery of the set can be seen here. What are your thoughts on this set? Let us know in the comments below.

I'd buy it for 30 bucks. That's about all there is to say. These molds are far to new to deserve a platinum style reissue.

[ThirdSergio]

What a shame...I really want this set because Rodimus looks pretty good and I need another wreck-gar for my Iron Maiden Junkion upgrade set. It seems the colors are really basic and muddled on both Scrapheap and Wreck-Gar, with Rodimus being the clear favorite. I'll wait for this one to drop in price before scooping it up, I do need a United Scrapheap though.

Also Reviewer doesn't mention it but besides the color Rodimus's engine block has the Henkei addition for the Arms-Micron targetmaster that was sold separately (which I have fort some reason)

Thanks for the post Hellscream!

I think I'd go $49.99..I think. It would only be my 3rd version of Rodimus in that mold. Can I reverse the scene and it be Rodimus Junkions (Rodimukions?) vs. Wreck-Gar and his moto-buddy Scrapheap? Sure I can. They're my toys!!

Rodimus DOES look pretty good.

Also, IRON MAIDEN JUNKIONS?!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Eh, not bad looking, but not a buy for me. Just can't afford this

I meant the Maiden japan/Lucky Rogers upgrade kits for a Junkion Medic and Warrior. They're paint matched more to RTS Wreck-gar's original mold (but with the Junkions mix-matching and stuff would be an okay aesthetic...) I was thinking of another upgrade kits name mix-mashed with that set lol

[DedicatedGhostArt]

Wait wait wait... hold on a sec! I think I just had some memories come back to me! If I recall, some years ago in 2006-2007, a friend of mine let me borrow a transformer, if I'm not mistaken, I think it was this Hot-Rod! I have been trying to remember for so long what toy that was, and I think I finally know!

[william-james88]

The platinum line was well represented today at the New York Toy Fair with even a surprise or two. For instance, there will actually be a Transformers Platinum Robots in Disguise set. Better than that it will include the previously Takara Exclusive Battle Grimlock which was a heavy retool of FOC Grimlock. It also includes the standard Bumblebee deluxe toy which sports a different deco than the Hasbro retail version. You can see live images of them on the showroom floor here.

The other platinum set shown was the Cyclonus, Scourge and Sweep set made up of the Universe/Gnerations molds. Cyclonus seems to have a new gun rather than his target master. All three have parts made up of clear plastic. Let us know what you think!

[DedicatedGhostArt]

Those look... interesting???

[griftimus prime]

not a fan of the translucent parts at all. not sure what they were thinking.

nice that we get the takara battle grimlock though.

[Deadput]

not a fan of the translucent parts at all. not sure what they were thinking.

I think it's a reference to the transformation scene in the movie when their becoming Galvatron and Cyclonus etc.

[Stuartmaximus]

yeah i'm not that impressed with Cyclonus & Scourge(i still prefer the look of the Titan Wars one)

Grimlock looks ok

i thought the same thing. but i do not like being able to see through the figures.

More overuse of transparent plastic on what's bound to be another poorly priced platinum set. Why use a new Devcon head we've never seen before for this nonsense?

Whoever is thinking up these sets and deccos really needs to move onto a different toyline. Their heart is clearly not in it.

It's like a complete line of afterthoughts.

[Burn]

Here's an idea for a Platinum Set!

Troop building Junkions and Sweeps. No silly gimmicks like translucent plastic, just troop builders, a set people would actually be interested in instead of tacky reuses of old molds.

It's actually not the Devcon tooling. It actually looks like a whole new tooling, with Devcon's face but Scourge's head tube thing. Why even bother making a new head just for this set, who knows.
