Transformers Thread

Everytime I see your av, I keep thinking of that line that Rumble and Frenzy said in the TF movie. :rofl: :looney:

Well Rumble is the purple and Frenzy the black bot.:rolleyes:

You know the toys came first, right?

Iā€™m just gonna ignore the FIBRIR/RIBFIR stuffā€¦ >.>;

Regarding the movie, Optimusā€™ head looks nice, the arm is iffy.

Classics Minicons, including ā€œDinobotsā€. They look okay, I was hoping Classics would be just recognizable G1 (and possibly G2/BW/UK/JP) characters, but oh wellā€¦

Yeh, but Im just used to see Rumble purple.
So I just say the toys are wrong:looney:

Thatā€™s fucking tight (and I never use this term). I downloaded that shit 30 seconds into the song. Nice shit, kindaā€™ has a Heiroglyphics feel to it.

Gimpy: you mean, ā€œFirst we crack the shells! Then we crack the nuts inside!ā€ I swear to god Iā€™m going to make that into a license plate frame for my next car.

As for movie Prime, I saw the arm and swore I wasnā€™t going to look at anymore character teasers. If Iā€™m going to be disappointed, Iā€™d rather have it happen all at once then have to take that shit in a slow, brutal, drawn-out death.

And I agree with Deik: after seeing them in the cartoons for all these years in reversed colors, it almost seems like itā€™s right. Somewhere inside, it would bother me to actually own both Rumble and Frenzy toys and see them not in the same colors.

http://www.myspace.com/sinatratron has the original version.

I think that would be hilarious to put on some underwear.

Yeah, that was the funniest line ever in a movie to me when I was younger. :lol: Also if you noticed that whole scene was funny because all the ā€œtapesā€ were fighting and one of Master Blaster(?) tapes was shooting Ravage in the face with his gun everytime he jumped up at him. :rofl:

Iā€™m with Brian. No more teasers, just the trailer and thatā€™s it ok.

Optimus not being a flatnose = :tdown: , and dont even get me started on Starscreamā€¦

co-sign. Canā€™t they at least remove the flames on Prime. Prime is way too cool to have some played out flame paint job lol and it just looks wrong on a semi. I mean a semi like that u may see at a car show of some sort but on the roadā€¦um very unlikely lol

That makes my head hurt. I need a good lie down. :wasted:

:rofl:

Scourge is a definate buy. Not sure about OO though, my blood type is G1.

same here. Inlcuding prime has the arms of an orguntang lol or however u spell that

Iā€™m looking for a Starscream figure/model. Does anyone have any certain favorites or suggestions to give me :smile:.

I pretty much have 'em all (well, mostly).

If youā€™re looking for a show accuracy figure, I recommend the Mega PVC Starscream or the Heroes of Cybertron PVC figure, which stands around 1-2 inches tall. The Mega one is about 4-5 inches, iirc. (Mineā€™s boxed and put away somewhere)

If you want the original Screamer, you can look up the re-release by Hasbro on Ebay, or the Japanese counterpartā€¦ look up D-22. I donā€™t happen to have the Worlds Smallest Transformer version of him, but I hear itā€™s pretty faithful. G2 Screamer is the same toy, but with hot pink colors. :looney:

For modern takes, both of the deluxe Energon Starscreams are pretty nice, and the Galaxy Force/Cybertron Supreme version based on The War Within design is very sweet. Of course, if youā€™re on the cheap, best skip him, heā€™s $50-60 unless you luck out on a sale somewhere. Armada version is okay, there are better versions, imo.

Then thereā€™s Action Master Starscream, which isnā€™t too bad a figure, but he doesnā€™t transform and isnā€™t completely accurate. Ghost and Black Starscream, based off the original molds, were exclusives and hard to find now.

If you want to wait, the upcoming Classics line has a nice version that will retail for about $9-12 depending on where you buy him. Of course, the real ā€œholy grailā€ is the soon-to-be-released Masterpiece Starscream, which is not ā€œShow colorā€ accurate, but is extremely articulated. Heā€™ll be a bit pricey at $90-100+, but thatā€™s pretty much the ā€˜ultimateā€™ version of Starscream.

At the ā€œlowā€ end, or bottom-of-the-barrel, thereā€™s Machine Wars Starscream, which doesnā€™t look a thing like the 'toon, and is actually a repaint of the UKā€™s Skyquake. Thereā€™s also the repaint from BW2 called ā€œStarscremā€, which comes with BB, a new version of Smokescreen/Dreadwing from G2, respectively. They were originally going to be Megatron/Starscream for G2, but were cancelled. Dreadwingā€™s mold would become sort of the base on which Energon Starscream was made.

EDIT: Thereā€™s also Hellscream, from BW2, which is a remold of Cybershark from Beast Wars; yeah Starscream becomes a cyborg sharkā€¦ The rubber decoys, purple and red, premiums from the G1 line. Pretender Classic Starscream is a pretty nice mold too, despite the pretender shell.

To sum up: Wait for Classics, or track down an older version. If moneyā€™s no issue, grab the Cybertron version or pre-order Masterpiece.
