Transformers Thread

I too have been curious about voltron

Season two of G1 Transformers is pretty random.

In “Child’s Play”, they rushed a bunch of the animation and didn’t composite it right. Bits of people are missing, Skywarp is colored as Thundercracker, and other random goofiness.

From “The Girl Who Loved Powerglide”:

  • Megatron: “Energize the force fields!”
  • Soundwave: "What force fields?"
    I LOLd.

It’s all pretty random and I wouldn’t really recommend rewatching it - most of it seems to just showcase the toy they want to sell right then, but there are parts which are hilarious. Oh well. I promised myself I would watch until Scramble City, and I’m 2/3 there. =)

EDIT: Oh, and the shot accuracy is pretty depressing.

Did you ever watch the “dub” of Scramble City?

Well just a day or 2 before the airing of the new TF show…I can’t help my self but to DL it >_<

^Indeed

Ya know it’s funny I’m not THAT interested in Teen Titans yet I want to watch it, guess I’m a sucker for things that are comic book and classic related XD.
Speaking of such and sorry for going off-topic but-

How good are

Spoiler

those new He-Man cartoons?

as re: Scramble City: no, not yet. That’s what I’m building up to. =(

New All-Spark Power figures: link

Meh, nothing special with this line. They’re all repaints. Which makes S7 Landmine the only *new *fig.

big daddy looks cool. a very fitting color scheme.
the movie characters look horrible with all that blue slapped on them, big pass. Im interested in the megatron and prime figures though since I didnt bother with them the first time through, dont they have new heads and better colors or something?

hasbro loves to re-issue that thundercracker mold, better than more armada repaints I suppose.

I just got alternators Prowl. It’s a cool moment for me, because G1 Prowl was the first transformer that I ever got, and I see alternator Prowl as almost like an upgraded G1/mini masterpiece Prowl.

I must have broken the original G1 Prowl at least 7 different times.

When Alternator/Binaltech Prowl first came out, I was really disappointed that his chest was flat, facing downwards, as opposed to sticking outwards, like Silverstreak’s. But I think he looks nice after applying the leg-mod, which I learned about in this thread.

At first, I was tempted to try and mod a Subaru alternator to look like Prowl’s G1 form, but I think I would just mess it up.

Hey PS, where’d you find Alt Prowl?

Prowl was one of my favorite TF’s when I was a kid too (which made the movie all the more traumatic), and I would love to have the Alt toy.

I bought him loose off of ebay

The cheapest I can find for a loose Altern. Prowl that will ship worldwide is for US $74.99

Yeah, I too was traumatized after witnessing Prowl’s painful demise. Seeing the life slowly extinguish from his eyes, and the smoke emitting from his mouth… fuck.

At least it looked really stylish.

I’m trying to decide if I like the original blue color mp3 soundwave better, or the black soundblaster variant.

eBay eh? Searching for Binaltech Prowl, I found this
http://cgi.ebay.com/Binaltech-BT-15-PROWL-Honda-Integra-Type-R-Police-Car_W0QQitemZ330199519935QQihZ014QQcategoryZ4694QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD2VQQcmdZViewItem?_trksid=p1638.m122#ShippingPayment

Same thing? Different? The cheap price concerns me.

I think that is a bootleg version. I’m not an expert on the subject, but it says that it’s plastic, while the official Binaltechs are metal. The Alternators are plastic though.

Also on the picture, it says that it’s not Takara nor Hasbro. So it must be a knockoff. I don’t know how good the quality is for that.

Yea, I don’t think I could ever mod an Alt/BT or MP myself. They’re just too nice - at least for me - to fuck up so I just stick with the least expensive stuff.

I’d like an Alt Prowl myself but my latest want from that line is Mirage. But that’s not as important to me as getting my hands on a Sam’s Club Exclusive Yellow Fire Convoy.

I just found out some members from TFW2005 live in my area and he pops up from time to time.

p.s. Why do theseseem bigger to me? Is it the packaging?

^-- I’m gobsmacked that somebody’s selling the green Unicron. I would simply make a backpack for him and wear him to conventions like a little annoying Yoda reminding you that I won the lottery and you didn’t. =
AND WTF AT THE Omega Supreme? I’m sorry, I play with my damned toys. JFC. I could pay someone in China to make me a KO Omega and fly to visit them and throw in several weeks in Asia on vacation at that price. =P

Wow, what an … interesting dub job on Scramble City. I wept a little.

And um. Superion is “new” in Scramble City? WTH? I know things jump around a bunch and they refactored the seasons (in the US version Bruticus has been banned for a million years as of “Starscream’s Brigade”? wth? he was already in some episodes that season, I guess time flies).

OK, woot, on to season 3. :tup:

Oh yea, it’s Christmas time. That means I’ll be watching AVP2 on a matter totally unrelated to TF.

Merry Christmas from SMB & achan!

Satomi: RID Prime is one of my favorite non-G1 Primes ever, but damn, that color scheme is still ugly. I remember seeing that at SDCC 04 (I think it was 04?) and never looked back. They had one combined with RID Ultra Magnus too so he was blue, white and yellow. Ew. I’m just happy I got my hands on the Costco Prime/Magnus 2-pack Exclusive.

…and I don’t I was able to convince the wife into going to see AvP2 today. :sad:

PsychoSquall: Congrats on scoring Prowl. He too was one of my first TF’s as a child, right after Soundwave. But $45.00 loose? Holy shit. I did the leg mod on mine, it was really easy and he looks much better, plus the knees have more range.

#6: Those prices are absolutely insane. Bragging about paying $13K for a toy, no matter what kind of condition its in is plain ridiculous.

The MP3 soundwave looks neat but from what i heard his MP3-player is really barebones minimum. No internal memory, no USB, have to load music through SD cards, and no display to see what you’re playing.

If you don’t own some SD-compatible tech and cards already, you can’t do anything with him. Otherwise he looks pretty cool, though i’m not a fan of that white version released as that color looks odd on him.

On the subject of sw, I recommend that recent reissue where they used the japanese soundblaster mold in original sw colors. He came with laserbeak & ravage and inside spiffy “classics” style packaging too, which I think was a toys’r’us exclusive. Great stuff :lovin:

It’s a bootleg. Already been confirmed.
