Transformers Thread

Botcon '08 galleries are up

Includes Universe/Classics 2.0, Animated, and more.

animated Swoop, Soundwave and Megatron look soooooo awesome! :lovin:

Well, ever since the US changed their import laws on hand guns, the government has been very uptight about how these products are being brought into the US. I’m sure they just want to make sure that a gun is a gun and not something else. You’d think they can just read the box and tell it’s a toy but this is the US government we’re talking about here.

And yeah, Daidoji would be an excellent resource as well. Ya hear Dai? Don’t go negging me now! :wink:

Here’s a bad camera phone pic.

Putting on the cape on is kind of a chore since you need to tuck it under the nose cone and wings or it won’t attach. It felt like it would rip as I was stretching it in place. The paint job is a ~little~ lacking, but otherwise it’s OK. All in all, I’m pleased to have Megatron (sigh, no Galvatron) staring down King Starscream. :smile:

TFA Blitzwing looks pretty good too.

I’m liking Powerglide, Silverbolt, Sideswipe, and Ironhide from the Classics line.

maybe Ironhide would look a little better if he wasnt transformed by a large gorilla with sausage fingers thicker than my leg.

Silverbolt looks like he came straight out of G1!
also, are these the final sculpts? they looked pretty unpolished (rough edges, they look a little ā€œmushyā€)

Seibs is really the site for info nowadays.

There is more good info there than anywhere…

Nice! Congrats on getting that, I didn’t pre-order it when it first came out so it was already $24.99 when I clicked on it. But good thing eBay has them for BIN with the same price, still a lot but makes them look so much more badass.

Oh by the way I found Stealth Bumblebee at first at my local Target, I’m quite happy.

:woot:

I missed out on this auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200218512851&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=010

Long shot, but if any of you won this, please PM me.

What’s that from? It looks really cool.

That is AWESOME. :hitit:
Remind me to rep you ASAP, I can’t now.

Do me one better and link me to more pics of that girl in your sig. :rock:

all this botcon stuff just reminded me…I HAVE NO MONEY TO SPEND FOR WIZARD WORLD!
gottagetajob!gottagetajob!!

I second more wizard tits

…and make sure you include SMB in that PM, please. :wink:

Wizard tits? wha?

Very nice.

Also, hi.

What you didn’t mention was his inexplicable attachment to Daniel. If I were him, Daniel’d be nothing but paste within seconds. >.>

I missed out on buying Classics Grimlock many times (and most recently it was because I didn’t feel like getting him), but now I want to get it. My only two options locally are the two pack with Jetfire (who I already have) or buy the Takara packaged version at a local import store.

They also have the Takara packed version of Megatron who has a better paint job.

So you didn’t win this?
