Did you get Vector Prime in-stores? I've tried to find one during the TRU sales few weeks ago with no luck.

Vector Prime is so cool. It's not a perfect Transformer but I think the design is neat and the sheer amount of sculpted details on the surface of the figure is pretty unique.

He is, his alt mode feels like something from the Star Wars series.

More accurately, he's the Last Autobot given toy form and lots more detail - even his alt mode and transform scheme are somewhat similar.

In fact, looking at him, and assuming the "dark blue" is just a way to show metallic black, the Classics version even has nearly the same paint job!

And yes, I just got him from TRU today. For some reason they suddenly got a shipment of Classics Universe Voyagers, an entire wave they had missed before.

I really need to check TRU this week to see if they have this guy. I guess I want this guy because I can't pay for Botcon Alpha Trion :lol:

TFA Waspinator is a girl?

Transformed Scout Rollbar again as well as Alternators OP. I finished building up a more substantial peg on RotF Silverbolt so he can peg into place better in bot and combined modes. After a few days of building up an extension of his minuscule peg with super glue, the result was well worth it. I finally had some fun transforming the figure! Messed around with Scout Dirtboss too. Love the little construction 'Con.

I just got Arcee (can you say...late to the party?) today--tripped over her at Wally. (Okay, I just happened to 'trip' over her in the TF part of the toy display...but, you know....) I'm not really a fembot fan (with the exception of BM Strika), and I don't really know if I quite like her. She's freaky looking. But the sidecar thing is kinda cool. Was looking at the pic in the Movies thread about what the cyclebots combiner was supposed to look like and trying to figure out how that would happen. (Which is hilariously bad because I suck at visual/spatial relations).

So, to restore my happy, I've been playing with ROTF Starscream. His little hands make everything better.

HK, wait, that sounds *wrong!*

LOL.. but what does HK means? Seen so many times in forums but didnt know what it meant.

Anyways for me I just got 3 sets of ROTF in, EZ Devesator, Scout Ransack and Depth Charge(got it at 1 for 1 with an additonal 10% off). So I've been transforming them around but my EZ Devy I kept on transforming from the Robot modes to their alt modes and to the combined form and then repeat. It like so fun, really like this cute looking toy.

Alternators Skids. I have an extra so it went to my brother. He isn't that experienced with Alternators, despite owning Rodimus(he just loves to display it and is wary of damaging the figure through mistransformation) so I showed him how to Transform Skids. I love the figure!

I messed around with fire convoy and G1 Magnus to take pictures.

I need to find me a TFA Dirge.

I passed on Activators Dirge before but I found one this time with flawless paint apps so it was now or never.

ROTF Dark Variant Sideways (to Audi R8 mode). Didn't go as well as I'd have thought it would, but I got him there, even if I accidentally pulled off his left arm. It's okay, I got it back on... the main reason for transforming him was because he was standing next to my mouse pad, and I knocked him over, twice, while playing BF2. Figured he'd be safer in his Alt Mode. Shows, what I know...

ROTF Voyager Optimus Prime (to Robot Mode). This went a little better.

I finally opened my Target-exclusive Bruticus Maximus and assembled him today. He looks pretty cool, but his legs as suggested by the box art look lopsided, with the tank being much larger than the chopper. I think I'll switch the limbs around so he looks less goofy.

News Credits: 2 · Mon Sep 21, 2009 12:43 am

Bruticus Maximus is such a good looking combiner set. ;)^

I've been playing around with HA BB all day. Transformed it several times after tightening up the hip joints. I also did the leg reversal mod to make the legs more accurate to the CGI model. I did a test transformation and all is well, I only had to a few rotations to the transformation process.
