today I wondered in to Target and for the heck of it I went into the toy aisle to look at the new Transformers they had. To be honest I hadn’t touched them since I was a kid.

The movie line looked pretty cool but one caught my eye and made me buy it. they had a freaking Arcee! I remember when I saw her in the cartoon I always wanted to buy a toy of her but never saw one. Did they ever make one of her back then?

The thing that has me tripped out is that the made her a blue motorcycle. I thought the only bike they ever had was Cy-Kill?

Cy-kill was from Go-bots…

The only other cycles I know of are some Decepticon from the Armada series and ofc G1 Wreck-gar & Groove (Protectobot)

the best of megatron fuck ups in beastwars…prepare to laugh…rubber ducky ftw

Sorry my transformers memory is a little rusty. I completely forgot about Wreck-gar. I don’t remember ever seeing him outside the movie.

I always thought Cy-Kill was a transformer. I remember my parents gave me him out of the box as a kid and said it was a new transformer. But looking him up now he is a go-bot.

Now I need to snatch up movie Starscream, Prime, and Bumblebee. I might go pick up MP Megatron Prime and Starscream soon too. those look really good.

Definitely get MP Megatron. MP Starscream was a disappointing. Not much metal and he has very limited posibility if that’s important to you.

Anyway, be prepared to shell out the cash!

Not sure if this has been posted or not already, SRK search didn’t find crap. The Bumblebee car (original form, '77 Chevy Camaro) is up for bid. It’s at $55,201 at the time of this post. Even more shocking, is the fact that the all spark cube is at $41,100. Sorry if this has already been posted. Everything from that Australian chics ID badge, to the little girl’s tooth fairy bag is up for auction.

Jive Out!

Opened up Arcee and checked her out and it’s a very nice figure (man that sounds so wrong). Anyways… It took a little bit for me to figure out how to transform her to robot form and back again. I was also extra careful with it because I didn’t want to twist something wrong and break it. I remember when I was a kid I would just start twisting and turning things on them when I first got them. I wound up breaking Hook’s legs right off him so I called him The midget and he was the comic foil for the rest of the constructicons. Although keeping Devastator’s Chest shield on with Midget hook was a pain in the ass. Anyways Arcee is now on my new and rebuilding toy shelf.

I found Movie Starscream and I have him in the car right now. looking at the box it looks like his transformation process is a little complex. I also ordered a set that has movie Bumblebee and Barricade(and I think Frenzy) and a Optimus prime set that has 1984 Prime and 2007 Prime in it. I also manage to track down and order Unicron for a reasonable price. Can’t wait for those.

dunno if this is old…but…

done really well, besides, the tank dude (whatever his name…Brawn?)

everything else is on-point!

pics of Hasbro MP SS:

So sexy! I want Hasbro MP SS

SS is far from complex if you ask me. He was the first TF movie fig I didnt need any directions lol.

That’s for all you soundwave lovers - no robo homo :stuck_out_tongue:

Eject!! Eject!!! EJEEEEEEECCCCTTTT!!!

:rofl:

He’s sweet, according to pictures, he stands about a head taller than the Classics seekers, meaning he’s perfect for the line.

Someone mentioned TF motorcycles? There’s been quite a few.

Wreck-gar, Groove (Protectobots), Override (Triggerbots), Vroom (Pretender shell), Iguanus (Pretender robot), 1/6 of Sixturbo is a motorcycle, Guard City version of Groove, Road Rocket and Road Pig (G2) and their Robot Masters repaints (not to mention their cancelled G2 repaints Soundwave and Jazz), Armada Sideways, Energon Rapid Run, High Wire, Basic Energon Arcee and her legion of repaints from other series + store exclusives + BotCon, Cybertron/GF Ransack + Ransack GTS + Police Gasket, New Movie Deluxe Arcee.

That list is off the top of my head, I’m probably forgetting something.

So now I guess they need to develop SD card transformers :smiley:

Another motorcycle, although a heavily futuristic one is Afterburner, one of the Technobots.

Why take out this pretty important scene in BW. It was like 12 seconds.

still desperately avoiding movie spoilers in this thread

To my collector peeps back in America - how rare/common is Alt Prowl and Hound? Could I just waltz into any random toy store and find them? Do I need to special order them?

I’m going to be back in America for a week in September, and as I have yet to find Prowl/Hound here in Japan, I figured I could just buy them while I was in America. That is, if they’re available.

Alt Prowl…good luck finding him. Same for Alt Hound. There used to be a surplus of Hounds going around, but after the first few clearance sales he became impossible to find. Prowl was already rare from his release. So yeah, I think you’re going to have to special-order both of them.
