First up we discuss Combiner Wars!, the newly revealed combiner toys from Hasbro that were on display at San Diego Comic Con...Has Hasbro finally answered our prayers for combiners or is something else motivating them??

I get the feelng Razorclaw was involved in the writeup... or does Scotty find Wahlberg to be a hunk? Should Candace be worried? :P

I'm not a KO guy. The closest I've gotten is the Brave reissue of Sky Garry that I put reprolabels on.
(been meaning to post that lazy custom.)

tl;dr Where do I find that Machine Robo Browning KO I've heard about for the price of a Takara car?
It's one of those molds I'd love to own that I don't envision ever being reproduced at an official capacity.
My prehistoric hunting skills fail me.

P.S. Excited about REAL combiners (love the hands/feet) and Star Saber will be mine!
No matter the cost.


Edit: Watch MP Victory Leo get a release down the road with Star Saber exclusively in a Victory Saber box set.
Just imagine Victory Leo is to Star Saber as the MP-04 trailer is to MP-01.

Another great discussion,

looking forward to the new combiners, though I hope that they follow up quickly with a defensor, bruticus, Computron......


the PCC combiners weren't a bad toy, just needed some fiction to go with it, the united ex story does make a lot of difference to how the toys are viewed.

...also please, when you were tearing through the box for the SDCC dinobot leg, please don't have meant that literally.

Glenn Close is Nova Prime. Meryl Streep played Alpha Trion. :-?

I think the spirit of my question was lost...it wasn't about which hunk you'd most want to score a date with, but rather how you'd feel about acquiring their peas. And while I didn't want to exclude the guys, I didn't think winding up with 'his peas' was quite as interesting as getting 'her peas' from your fave TF cast member... ;)

But you know what they say...if you have to explain the question, it wasn't that good to begin with. :-(

You know, I do happen to have MP3s of all the Japanese TF songs. ;) Well, up to Animated, at least (still need to get the Japanese songs from Prime and Go!).


Small pet peeve of mine: The "Lio" in "Lio Convoy" is pronounced as "Lie-oh", not "Lee-oh". Like "Lion" minus the "n".

And, of course, Ginrai's name is like hard liquor + fine bread. :P
