Transformers Thread

I picked up Powerglide, Onslaught and Silverbolt yesterday.

I’ll be opening these up real soon. I’ll post my thoughts tomorrow.

BTW, Dropshot (repaint of CD Scattorshot) looks like a really nice mold. A friend of mine was able to grab one for me at Target earlier today. I have Blades too. He’s decent. I might use him for a custom.

I haven’t gotten around to Onslaught yet, but I did open Silverbolt and Powerglide. They’re both cool, but neither are without their issues.

Silverbolt’s a disappointment in the sense that he doesn’t have anything indicative of a future Universe Superion release. No special ports, combiner accesories, etc. I knew this going in but still. He’s got some hollow spots in the arms and legs and although he’s listed as an Ultra and priced as one, he looks and feels more like a Voyager. The transformation is simple and aside from feeling a little hollow, he’s pretty cool as a standalone figure and the paint detail is nice.

I think Powerglide is a step up. He’s bigger and actually fits his class listing. But he has a little too much going on at the top once you transform him.

BEFORE YOU DO: MAKE SURE TO LOOSEN THE SCREWS ON THE SIDE AND DIRECTLY UNDER THE WINGS OTHERWISE YOU’LL WARP THE PLASTIC.

:u: This will allow you to actually move the wings when converting him to robot mode.

I don’t like how the wings clip on to the shoulders. One fits tightly, the other is loose and won’t stay on very long. I think this is more of an issue with my copy of it. However, the way to fix the wings could’ve been better. If his legs were bigger and more proportioned with the upper body, he could probably stand better and the ā€œtitsā€ wouldn’t be nearly as ridiculous.

Overall, not too bad. This just confirms the consensus that Onslaught is perhaps the best Ultra release of this line.

anyone knows some reputable online store that still have the reissues that are close to the original yen price?

Good luck on that quest. Ever since that lame movie, TF demand has skyrocketed, especially for the G1 stuff.

Satomi, where’s the pics bro? I want to see how Powerglide turned out.

Got my Animated Ultra Magnus in the mail today. What an impressive figure!

Still selling stuff, guys. Just being held hostage at my mom’s place. When I finally get home, I’ll get back on that selling ish…trying to get the electric paid for certain.

do you have a list of what’s left to offer?

<— interested.

Sometime this week. Unless FighterX decided on taking and uploading his own.

Do you have G1 Jazz and Sideswipe still? I’d be interested in those.

I do have a Sideswipe. I’ll hpefully get home for the first time since last friday tonight, and I’ll pull stuff out once again.

Email me a pic if you can. No rush.

Also, you wouldn’t happen to have an Energon Quickstrike on you by chance?

Got him early huh? I still need to get Leader Bulk Head, Oil Slick, and Snarl (from what’s available in my area).

on tfw2005 there is a picture of Lockdown w/Chainsaw and a new color scheme and on the back it shows Swindle and Blur. Blur looked kind of confusing to me and I was hoping that Swindle would be a voyager class figure. In the show he looked big and well, he was based off of a H2 Hummer.

Look at what I just won: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=170247657077&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=007

Congratulations. I’ve never been a big fan of the Protectobots but that’s a nice custom. Then again, look at his base model - RID Prime. Probably one of the best Prime’s ever made since G1 Prime.

And that’s not a bad price either. How many customs do you own now?

Btw, I still can’t believe Hasbro produced Powerglide in an off-white color. He should be red and only red.

Henkei Powerglide will be red, SMB. As red as period blood.

ANYWHO

I own that Junkion Commando I won back in April as well as a few hand-painted movie figures. Not too many seeing as how they’re really expensive. Another plus to this Defensor is that I’m getting a few of my favorite molds in the process.

I really need to get back into customizing…

Edit: I also have a Movie Ironhide that was painted to resemble a G1 Trailbreaker with reprolabels and everything.

okay, those needing pictures, let me know of what. I got a bout an hour lunch break to get it down. also hopefully you can pay by friday because I just got a new minor emergency. :stuck_out_tongue:

Mainly Sideswipe, but the rest of the G1 Autobot cars if possible.

Man, fuck my life. I spent an hour looking for my fucking camera to find out my roommate had it and he gave it back with no fucking batteries so I had to go buy some more fucking batteries so I can take pictures of shit so I can sell it because I ain’t got shit in the first place. Ugh.

And to make it worse, a bunch of my stuff is missing.

Here’s what I managed to find.

Anything else?

Links don’t work.

Also, roommates suck.
