TM2 Dinobot Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 WOW. Man, and here I was proud of my 20yo Soundwave. Dang that sucker is impressive. How much was he? Is he diecast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpheon Posted December 31, 2006 Author Share Posted December 31, 2006 Ugh. I think I'm going to be sick with envy... HOOWAUGH......! *cough* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 There are a few diecast pieces, but he's still mostly plastic. I personally like the combination of the two. I have an all diecast Optimus Prime (the Titanium Series), and he's impossible to pose/stand/transform, because the all metal is so loose, it all just hangs, and won't stay. He cost me $59.99 on eBay with $10 shipping. The guy shipped it from NJ on Thursday morning, and I woke up (after noon, LOL) to it today!! He is SO cool!! I've learned something, though. If you put Ravage in the front, and Laserbeak behind him (inside SW's chest), LB gets stuck. But, if you put Ravage behind LB, the door opens and closes smoothly.

Amazing.JL Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I'll definitely be taking the plunge on one of these. Soundwave, Hot Rod, Ultra Magnus, Jet Fire were my favs. Damn you guys and your pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpool Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Ummm... It says general discussion, so I hope this is ok... I've got the whole first wave of Classics, and I'm picking up Grimlock today. Anyone want to recommend Jetfire/Mirage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpheon Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 ^ Don't worry about it. I couldn't care less. About possibly taking this thread a little off topic, I mean.

TENIME_art Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Jetfire and Mirage are awesome! Mirage is definitely cooler in your hands, than he is in pictures. I always thought he looked kind of stupid, but he's pretty neat when you're transforming him. Jetfire's sweet, 'cause he has two forms in each mode. There's regular Jet and Robot modes, then with a few snap-on additions, he goes into ultra-mega mode. Both look equally cool. I keep switching back and forth with regular and mega (lol...I don't know what to call it!) modes on my display shelf. A friend picked up Grimlock for me, but I haven't seen him yet since he bought it, so I haven't gotten a chance to enjoy the Dinobot. One of the few childhood memories that is still sticking in my waning short-term/long-term brain is playing with the original Dinobots. Mostly Grimlock and Slag. Those were good times. How's he measure up, DP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's he measure up, DP? Cool. I really like him. He's got thunder thighs, but I can look past that. His tail is an odd weapon, and some parts look strange, but... He's a freaking T-Rex, I can't not love him. I keep debating Mirage, and haven't seen Jetfire. My current fav remains Bumblebee however... I just can't get enough of that smile!

TM2 Dinobot Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I've heard some horror stories about Grimlock. Supposedly he's the weakest out of the entire line. My favorite is still very much Megatron. He's a frickin gun! A GUN!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpheon Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 I got Optimus Prime from my best friend for Christmas. I've been really thinking about going out and buying Megatron; but then I saw the more comic/TV show accurate 2-Pack, "The Ultimate Battle" or whatever. Which should I go for? Or better yet, should I buy both? I'll try to find a link to that two-pack on the web. EDIT: Aaahh, here it is: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may not be the biggest Transfan out there, but IMO, the weakest is Mirage (although I don't have him, that's why) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm 1:08 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Wowee. Check this out: DEVASTATOR They may call it Devastator, but it's just a repaint of Maximus. http://www.seibertron.com/toys/gallery.php...e=0&start=0 It is greatly better than the original just due to the color scheme, but I still can't call it Devastator since it's a repaint of something else. Plus, I don't like the hands. I guess I just prefer the original Devastator look. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Constructicons.jpg I didn't like the look of the Megatron gun figure at first since it looked too much like a toy gun and not more like the image below: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/1d/Megatron2.jpg But I eventually just bought it and I really like it. It's the best we'll ever get of a gun-mode Megatron outside of Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpheon Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 Ugh, no, the 2-pack is MUCH worse. Go for the gun! How so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcastick Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Ugh, no, the 2-pack is MUCH worse. Go for the gun! How so? I don't know about anyone else, but to me...if Megatron isn't a Walther P38 or another type of hand gun, it just isn't megatron. And I recently picked up the Classics Grimlock that just came out, and I must say that it is a rather decent figure. Both Robot and Dinosaur modes look good, and not being able to get him as a kid, I was happy to see he was re-released and in his Classic T-rex form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyc Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 want Jetfire. I hate Macross with a nuclear passion, but still thinks the Classics Jetfire taps all the right buttons to be a Macross/Robotech Valk without being one. Had a false start because Mirage turned up within the same month as the first lot of Classics, but haven't seen any of the other second wave stuff. And amusing to note it's cheaper to get a G1 Jetfire (admittedly not mint in box) on ebay than a Classics Jetfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I have to point this out cause I almost dies when I saw it. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product...amp;picture=out MUCH pleasure is derived from this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM2 Dinobot Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 HOLY CRAP! It's sold out already! Okay Xy, I hope you're reading this. You're my only hope now. Corahda, Archadis, 2 Beast Wars Neo figures, I've got them both already unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpheon Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 So, it wasn't sold out when you posted? Wow. Because when I looked, (see my post time) it was sold out already. Those are some PFA figures, TM2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
