I’m starting to really want more Alts. Goddamn I want Alt Jazz and Prowl. I dunno if my local hobby store has them though. :sad:
I was just reading wikipedia to catch up on the Transformers mythos, and god damn I’m LOVING Bumblebee’s live action look (at least in robot form). Slowly, the live action film designs have grown on me, even growing up on the G1 cartoons.
I felt like I suffered from a 2-day depression after I saw that episode. :bluu: And after seeing that BW was cancelled so they could produce BM, I was really depressed. That series sucked ballz.
Az: I love the Alt series, it’s been my favorite TF series sinec G1. Jazz is highly recommended as are the G1 stickers for Alt Jazz on Reprolabels.com. I’m still trying to lock down an Alt Hound myself, I missed that one.
Reason: It’s one of the many “insert different characters with same expressions” shots fans have done of the Lucky Star OP.
Oh, and 
at that picture.
Does anyone know if the pics of that newly repainted Starscream has been 100%confirmed for release by Hasbro yet? I still say the paint job and weathering is waaaay too nice of a job for Hasbro to produce so I’m convinced it’s just a custom.
When Dinobot died, that was my first time I cried because of a TV show.
And then when I saw TMII Dinobot become his original self again I was like OH FUCK trash Megatron, but he just got smacked. Dissapointing…
Then Beast Machines…No…please OUT OF MY HEAD PLEASE.
But yeah the guy who wrote the show didn’t know anything of the Transformers storyline, and he actually got death threats because of the show, and he cancelled all his appearances at cons and stuff.
Rumble - “Heyyyy, get down soundwave!”
Soundwaves just sits there playing music
Three Girls - “Ohhhh!” triple swoon
God, 80’s cartoons are absolutely horrible, all of them.
First picture of finalized stock and silencer for MP-05 Megatron:
Shit yeah, I’m getting that. I can burn $50, easy.

New images of MP-06 in plane mode. I kinda like it:
mmm tasty…
I’ve made it a point to not have any action figures or anything like that…but I want a original G1 Megatron one of these days…
But that looks good enough to replace that and Much MUCH cheaper - doens’t Megs go for like 400+?
- :bluu:
MP Megs? He’s only $150.
He’s cheaper than that (unless youre talking about MP Megs w/stock & barrel)
Ugh, another Seeker-Repaint Fiasco. (What’s worse is that they’re repainting MOVIE Starscream into fucking Thundercracker.)
no thanks, I refuse to buy six planes every time they do a new Starscream mold.
I’m fucking over it.
Transformers the movie trailer: 300 version lol

So, just trying to get a grasp on all the different variations, and versions of the Movie toys, before I go out, and grab some. So, if you guys can assist me, that’ll be grand. From what I gather, Starscream has what, three heads? The third one (his head as it will be in the film?) looks the best to me. Also, “Robovsion” Optimus looks waaay better than “Leader Class” Optimus. I’m assuming “Robovision” is a unique title for him, though. Correct?
Also, What are the classes, in order from the easiest (cheapest, least detailed models) to the most expensive?
Robovision is a Target Exclusive.
Starscream currently only has one head (though there is a later repaint that will feature a head that has a G1 styling, as well as a G1 paintscheme).
The size classes are kinda iffy, but here’s my best guess:
LOC- Basic, 4 dollar figures, they transform, but feature minimal articulation.
Deluxe- The standard size, these are 10 dollar figures that feature full transformations, decent articulation, and complex design.
Voyager- The next size up, these are slightly larger figures, with slightly more complex and intricate transformations, these run about 15-20 bucks.
Leader- This is what it sounds like. the Large commanders of the two factions. about $30
There is a supreme class, but the only one in that class for the movie line, is Ultimate Bumblebee.
I think I like the Alt’s more than the Masterpieces, dare I say it. They’re like bringing the TF’s into modern times while keeping the spirit of the originals.
Anyone know a good place to buy online? With international shipping that won’t rape me? I really only know of one shop locally where I can buy things, and they seem to get stuff at complete random. They have a ton of Alt’s, but nothing I’m interested in - I was lucky to get Wheeljack. I found Jazz on eBay, but shipping cost more than the actual toy. :sad:
