TM2 Dinobot Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I'm really tempted just to sell mine, especially with the new Screamer coming out. I doubt we'll see a real TC, considering I was able to pick up as many Skywarps as I wanted for $15 a pop at Walmart. For those of you who haven't seen them yet, here's FoC Bruticus. I knew they were coming ahead of time, so I'm kinda like "Why are y'all freaking out?" as people are freaking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webhead Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Here's the igear Thundercracker. Looks great K80. Is the igear 'cracker the same size as the MP skywarp and starscream? Looks that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Yeah, that Bruticus could be truly bad-ass, and a real steal compared to, say, a more G1-y TFClub version. So, I may have to go for it. Webhead, they are precisely the same size. In fact, iGear ripped off that mold almost completely. The only real difference is a mod where the "hip kibble" is gone, replaced by the more streamlined look of attaching that part directly to their leg (it slides up when in robot mode).

Webhead Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Good deal. I was gonna get a generations thundercracker but will pass now and consider tracking on of these down. I really wish the igear prime was a bit taller. The new MP mold is just too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirymate Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Oh and in case you missed the announcement- there are going to be 40 new Generations figures in 2013. 40. And that's not counting FoC Prime, Shockwave, Jazz, and all 5 Combaticons... Did I mention all 5 combining Combaticons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM2 Dinobot Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Ooooh, you lucky bugger, Ten. Can't say I'm really impressed with Sideswipe. We're 10 years into the line and only now getting our 6th character? I'm not sure I care enough to get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 He looks perfect in that shot, though. And Red Alert was one of my original TFs as a kid, so I'm excited about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Let's hope they've built a dual transformation into the mold so we can get a third repaint as Sunstreaker. Though, it'd need a new head, so it wouldn't be a pure repaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 So my awesome brother-in-law the other day hands me a bag and says I was going through some old toys and decided I didn't want these anymore so here you go. Inside the bag were 9 vintage Transformers, ranging from really good condition to well played with but all AWESOME! Included were Six Shot (the best condition of all of them) Jetfire (much whiter then the last one I had which was very yellowed) Camshaft Trailbreaker Overdrive Sunstreaker Seaspray Cosmos Topspin There are few things I love more in this world than free toys! (especially vintage toys) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Well BotCon came and went. And there were some neat annoucments from it and all. And a the now usual ton of third party promises. But browsing around some sites' 3p galleries, and seeing all the varies KO Arcees that have been made it really hit home to me why I haven't been tempted to get any of them. Because even the most G1 looking ones don't actually look like G1, they look like Classics/Generations. They're all was too proportional, too articulated, too... modern. Not a one would look good on your G1 shelf alongside all those Autbots who feel lucky if they have shoulder and elbow articulation, and star with jealousy at Blurr's posable legs. I want a G1 Arcee that's a much a brick as Hot Rod, Springer, Kup, and the other movie cast members. I want an Acid Storm and purple Decepticon Warrior made from the original diaclone jet mold. An Impactor with a transformation not much more complex than Go-Bots Tankor, and with spring loaded forearm hand launchers. Don't get me wrong, I love the Classics/Generations style. It's the toys we thought we had when our imaginations brought the Transformers to life. But I want more of the toys we actually had, flawed as they were, clunky as they seem today. Those are the toys I fell in love with, and that is the style I wish one of these 3rd Party guys would bring back. They'd get my money at least.

TENIME_art Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 "Delicate Warrior" and the one that came before it are totally G1 Arcees. They look nothing like a "modern" interpretation of the character, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 They look like Gundums to me, not G1 Transformers. YMMV. I'm thinking more along the lines of a retooled Blurr, or something that fits in with the "we're running out of diaclone molds" asthetic of the 1986 wave.

screamfleet Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I'm fairly surprised they're doing sideswipe as a MP. It's kind of nice actually. It's kind of a curveball, but not so much. It's still an autobot. I think they'll get good mileage out of that mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screamfleet Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I really hope they revisit megatron now. Many people clamor for G2, but, Japan never had G2 Megatron. I like him being silver anyway. A tank would be fine, or a gun. The MP they have just, wasn't quiet right. He was top heavy, awkward transformation, know to break. Now that they re-did starscream and are doing soundwave, megatron just feels like he could use another. They seem to really be cranking out the MPs now.

battlecat Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I hate Masterpiece Megs and his skinny legs, a more cartoon accurate version would be great. And I have no interest in G2 but I would totally buy a Galvatron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Blame Congress. US Toy Laws still prevent a mass market Megatron that transforms into a realistic gun. Ridiculously undersized pea shooters are apparently okay. So with 0 chance of it coming to the US market, or even being shipped here without contraversy, a real G1 Megs is unlikely. Galvatron would be a great choice all things considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
