Seriously, on a board filled with toy collectors not one person has seen this toy or anything like it before Also, picked up something from Ebay the other day. It's 4 Police motorbikes and a Police car that change to robots and then combine into a bigger robot with the bikes as arms and legs and the car as the main body, it's also blue and white. Not a fantastic figure but does anybody know what it is or where it's from ? I'll try and get a photo in the morning and put it up

I should be OK but cheers anyway dude. Just ordered Leader Class Prime from The Entertainer for £29.96 & £3.95 P&P and according to my source (Basically a friend who works there) they're getting in pretty much most of the Deluxe and Voyager class figures as well so that should be me sorted fingers crossed... Will definitely give you a shout if i can't grab Robot Heroes for myself though...

I only ever used to use two... TF@TM Sake Comments <---Easily the best MB in the UK and run by Dave & Steve, pretty nice guys when it comes down to it and a good community to belong to... Tfans <---Another good, well informed community with the added bonus that you can ask Remy from Remy's Transformers questions and generally he'll answer... There's obviously more out there... TM2, cheers, i'll have to see if i can get someone in the US to pick some up for me because i must have Robot Heroes...

Many congratulations to MMMV and total respect to the staff for creating a place where all us misfits can come together and talk about toys Seriously though, thanks for this place Ady, best Minimate community on the 'net by far...

So nobody knows what toyline this comes from then ?

Just out of interest but where did you get your Robot Heroes and was it online ? And nothing beats the Myclone Transformers, shame they never carried on...

So about 6 years ago i picked up a robot in Tesco's (Hence possibly UK only) that is made up of three military vehicles, a tank, an A.P.C and a Helicopter... (Pictures included but excuse the quality, it's my phone camera) They're about the size of the average hotwheels car and made from plastic and metal... There was a few others that were from this line but they was mainly cars like hot rods and racing cars... What i want to find out what particular line are these from and what company made them (No trademarks or identifying marks on any of the vehicles) Any help would be appreciated guys...

I'm definitely picking up the Robot Heroes and Optimash Prime although i do have a slight problem with Optimash Prime because buying Transformers is one thing but buying a variant Mr Potato Head at the age of 31 is something entirely different... The Real Gear stuff is an interesting idea but again, i think i'll wait until i see them in the reduced section before i pick them up... The Energon repaints i don't know, i don't really like repaints so i'll probably avoid them like the plague... And the more i look at pictures of Blackout and Ratchet, the more i'm starting to like them enough to buy them... Truth be told, i'll probably end up buying most of the line just to keep the addiction fed

Yep, you're right, my mistake... I own the Protoforms already and i have to say that against my better judgement i actually quite like them. Not overkeen on Starscream's head or colours (Should have gone with the colours on the back of the packaging) but the articulation on both figures is pretty good as it goes...

I've already decided that for the movie figures i'm only dropping the full money down on Leader Class Prime, Voyager Class Jazz and Ironhide. The rest can wait until i see them on clearance somewhere because i know i probably really should be, but i'm not that impressed with what i see...Bumblebee in particular will NEVER enter the PCC... As for Classics, In the UK and in particular at my local Woolworths all they seem to have shelfwarming is the Magnus vs Skywarp boxed set, Starscream (Tempted to pick one up and attempt a repaint into Thundercracker seeing as i'm not ever going to get the Botcon "Games of Deception" boxed set) and Hotrod... Oh and if everybody hasn't yet, make sure you pick up the Revoltech Convoy and Megatron for their total coolness *nods*

Hey, if you don't have the GIMP, give it a shot. I'm attempting a concept, and though its hard as hell and will look like crap, it's fun. The closest i've ever come to a custom figure was putting Prof X in the Kubrick hover chair which turned out pretty good as it goes... Not really confident enough to go painting figures though, the perfectionist in me won't allow it *shrugs* ***EDIT*** Oh and regarding the BSG Minimates, i need to pick up the following to complete my Cylon Army... OS Cylon Centurion OS Battle Damaged Command Centurion OS Battle Damaged Cylon NS Valley Of Darkness Centurion NS Downloaded Centurion

Deadpool, i'm no good at making custom figures anyway, either in the flesh so to speak or through art programs but i had a look at the thread and there's some damn good customs there... Danny, i'm psyched about the Marvel Zombies to be honest, was kinda late reading the series but it's an amazingly cool idea...And yeah, picked up the Starbuck/Cain, Dualla/Apollo and RD Six/Cylon two packs already with a few OS and MS Cylons to back them up. Highly impressed with the paint jobs and the details so far and they're now easily the favourite Minimates in the PCC... Been picking up some of the Revoltech figures as well and i'm in love. Convoy & Megatron totally rock the balls and Dante, Super Robo Dangaioh and Ingram Patlabor V2 are nice additions as well...

As some of you may or may not have noticed, i've been away from the boards for a while due to various reasons. (Some of which i won't go into because they're bloody boring) so how is everybody and what's been going on in my absence ? Oh and sincere apologies because i can't remember who and i cleaned out my messages ages ago so i can't check but could the person who had the Palz up for grabs drop me a PM to let me know if they're still up for grabs ? Thanks in advance...

Babylon 5 mates would go down a treat with me...

Damn!!! That'll teach me to not go away from the board for a while and more importantly, to check the dates of the last posts before i post or otherwise i just make myself look stupid... And before anybody says it, more stupid than i normally look

I've been out of the loop for a few months and this is the first bit of MM news to hit me on my return and all i can say is bloody fantastic news. I LOVED the Marvel Zombies storyline and i'm currently digging the Marvel Zombies vs Army of Darkness storyline so these will be a welcome addition to the PCC (Plastic Crack Collection)...

3 years ??? Congrats Danny, keep it going

No worries mate, i'm glad he came out looking as good as he did... And in turn i'll thank Donny B for the general idea in the first place...

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh! I might have to get some of them for my Transformers...

Outside opinion but i think the rules for the contests should be rethought or at least looked into because this is now getting out of hand when it ends up with people using personal insults over what is at the end of the day, basically a toy... Yeah, the contests are fun and everything but i don't expect them to happen. I appreciate them for what they are, a little bit of fun every now and again on a community board for the things we love, the Minimates... I know the guys who run the contests go out of their way to bring us good stuff like the random comps for instance but when it reaches a point that people almost expect them to happen then i think maybe it's time to stop. Which is a shame because then everybody loses out and gains nothing... Just my two cents and i'll shut up now and get my coat :tongue:

Congratulations guys And Ady, full appreciation for this contest dude :biggrin:

Thing is though that we've already got Minimate type Transformers in the shape of the Myclone figures and to be honest the only way i would want to see TF Minimates would be in the 3" bodies because don't get me wrong, i love the 2" body but in my opinion the 3" would suit the line more... Said Myclone figures in question...

No, no, dude. Glow in the dark... I dunno, while i think glow in the dark Minimates WOULD be cool, i would rather see that idea used on an exclusive.

Well i've thrown my join up date into the Wiki for what it's worth :tongue:

Excellent work Ady...I'm loving the boards new look :biggrin: It all works for me now i just need to manage a few hours spare to actually get in there and talk to people
