Enter the Nightbird

The thing is: I could’ve sworn Prime and some of the other Autobots used hologram technology to pose as the Stunticons. They even managed to form a fake Menasor before the Decepticons found out.

I remember that too, but I forget when it happened.

[Satomiblood]

^Preppy might know. He did watch all the seasons recently.

[Preppy]

Yeah, it was in a season two episode if I recall correctly, where Ironhide used his magnetic clamps to hold them together temporarily as fake Menasor.

If I recall correctly, and if my set had the actual chronology right, season 2 jumped around logically and things happened out of order at times.

Also, Cobra Commander made a guest appearance in disguise in season 3 (the “future of 2006 season”, when he has the Autobot’s minds drained to human forms) - it seems like he’s potentially Starscream’s Ghost until the end of the episode. That was pretty amusing. =)

Is this in a later episode or am I totally out of wack here? The weird part is that it runs with some parts of the Vector Sigma episode.

That was “Masquerade”, iirc the Autobots could hold together as Menasor thanks to Windcharger tractor beam. It was aired after “The key to Vector Sigma” though.

I really don’t like the way the new animated series is drawn :sad:

[Warpticon]

Thanks. You’re talking about Sixshot there right? I’ve never seen any “two-packs” for him. If you’re talking about Sixshot though, I’m assuming you’ve seen each version closely enough. Do you like one over the other? Or are the differences too subtle to really notice. What “paint apps” exactly though, besides the darker grey, if you don’t mind elaborating?

…no, I was talking about Vector Prime.

[Daidoji_Kage]

Vector Prime (to clear it up)

3 versions, 2 of which are American, one of which is Japanese

Japanese Galaxy Force VP: Grey, hard plastic wings/sword, very detailed, show accurate, awesome key detailing.

American Cybertron VP: White, soft plastic wings/sword, sparse detailing, autobot symbol, not terribly show accurate, no key detailing.

American Redeco Cybertron VP (Titled as Galaxy Force Vector Prime, though he is from the Cybertron line. Do not get confused): Gold, soft plastic wings/sword, great detail, autobot symbol, key is detailed.

I just realized that Brad Garret from Everybody Loves Raymond did the voice of Trypticon.

Yeah i was surprised to learn that as well. Who’d thunk it?

[Satomiblood]

And it’s totally him too. In episodes of Raymond and Til Death, he does voices that totally sound like Trypticon.

[scum_gale_88]

what other celebrities now did voices for old cartoons? (the tf movie doesnt count)

did you know that morgan freeman played ratbat AND serpentor on G.I. joe!?

If you want to have the back hood section as his front chest area, you’ll have to switch his arms. This is similar to the Prowl mod, except you are switching the arms, instead of the legs.

Just unscrew at the triceps, and switch the arms. Another way that I read on a forum is to remove the hands and switch them, but I was unable to do that. I was too paranoid that I would break it if I applied too much force.

Please don’t mess up your transformer, because even though I won’t take responsibity for you breaking it, I would still feel really bad. :^P

Custom Trypticon

[PsychoSquall]

Trypticon looks sweet…

I made a big yellow fin for my Alternators Rodimus/Hot Rod. It’s attached onto the car roof on his back using one of those bands that are used to secure Transformer toys to their packaging… it’ll function for now.

I rotated his legs 90 degrees because I thought it looked better, and to differenciate him more from Mirage. He’s carrying a misc. gun from some other transformer. I hope to add exhaust pipes onto his forearms like for his Binaltech form eventually.

^Looks awesome

Oh and SMB: here’s the ridiculous price I was telling you about for a Botcon Exclusive Thrust

I fucking hate Hasbro for not releasing all of the Coneheads Seekers at a standard price. That Thrust looks really sweet and probably the best of the three.

from SMB: Ridiculous? That’s more like assanine. And yeah, Hasbro loves to fuck with their fan base just because they know they can. Can’t you get a Canada Thrust on Ebay then if it was mass-released there?

I’m sure Hasbro does nothing but sit around trying to think of ways to piss people off, because surely that’s going to make them tons of money.
