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?

I’m just gonna ignore the FIBRIR/RIBFIR stuff… >.>;

Regarding the movie, Optimus’ 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 well…

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

That’s fucking tight (and I never use this term). I downloaded that shit 30 seconds into the song. Nice shit, kinda’ 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 I’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 wasn’t going to look at anymore character teasers. If I’m going to be disappointed, I’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 it’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:

I’m with Brian. No more teasers, just the trailer and that’s it ok.

Optimus not being a flatnose = :tdown: , and dont even get me started on Starscream…

co-sign. Can’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 road…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

I’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 you’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. (Mine’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 counterpart… look up D-22. I don’t happen to have the Worlds Smallest Transformer version of him, but I hear it’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 you’re on the cheap, best skip him, he’s $50-60 unless you luck out on a sale somewhere. Armada version is okay, there are better versions, imo.

Then there’s Action Master Starscream, which isn’t too bad a figure, but he doesn’t transform and isn’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. He’ll be a bit pricey at $90-100+, but that’s pretty much the ā€˜ultimate’ version of Starscream.

At the ā€œlowā€ end, or bottom-of-the-barrel, there’s Machine Wars Starscream, which doesn’t look a thing like the 'toon, and is actually a repaint of the UK’s Skyquake. There’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. Dreadwing’s mold would become sort of the base on which Energon Starscream was made.

EDIT: There’s also Hellscream, from BW2, which is a remold of Cybershark from Beast Wars; yeah Starscream becomes a cyborg shark… 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 money’s no issue, grab the Cybertron version or pre-order Masterpiece.
