Transformers Thread

grim is looking good. only thing i dont feel is the wings in dino mode (upper torso in dino mode) is too long. its looking more like the OG g1 cartoon and movie grim than the dw grim with the shorter more agressive looking torso (in dino mode). all in all, cant wait to see it in color. cant believe i might be ordering this.

Why would it be diecast if it’s Universe? It won’t include diecast parts if it’s not part of the Titanium, MP, or Binaltech lines.

I went ahead and bought the Classics Ultra Magnus City Commander trailer upgrade after seeing this video review.

The Shadow Commander colorswap alternate looked sweet, but needed to get this cool Magnus upgrade.

LOL you just convinced me to buy it also! :woot:

ebay ftw. <3

…and what’s the Shadow Commander colorswap that you speak of? :confused:
<-- interested.

EDIT
OMG i just saw it on fansproject! I HAVE to buy that for my Nemesis Prime! :wow:

P.S.
this got me hyped!

New images of upcoming Animated and Universe releases at BBTS

Wreck-Gar looks awesome.

Dinobot looks better than I thought he would! I preordered him and Smokescreen, but it looks like I missed out on the Wreck-Gar preorder. No biggie.

OH SHIT. I’m all about DAT LEO PRIME! :wow:

Here are some coupons you can use at Hasbro Toy Shop’s website when you check out:

MDCREW - 20% OFF (expires 10/22/08)
TF2009 - 10% OFF (expires 12/31/09)

Keep in mind that these aren’t good for preorders.

Edit: If you’re going to pick up those Special Edition Classics anyway, don’t bother with Big Bad Toy Store. They’re selling them each for $29.99, whereas Hasbro Toy Shop has them for $15.99 apiece. It’s funny how the BBTS pre-orders for SE Dragstrip and Overkill have already sold out while HTS still has them available. HTS also ships out sooner.

Got my City Commander set yesterday…here is a picture for size comparison.

I had no idea it’d make him as big as MP SS. Then again, MP SS is one of the smaller figures from that line.

Nice.

Thanks! I ordered Shockwave today and I’m tempted to order Dragstrip and Over Kill.

Indeed the appearance of the fire truck is good indeed. but personally I am not so keen on the Armada stuff, so what does it mattr anyway :stuck_out_tongue:

why do other sites like BBTS jack up the prices when you can buy them at Hasbros site for half the price? its pretty shitty buisness practice if you ask me.

Because they’re gay.

Actually, that’s where I ordered the TFCC Seacons since I’m a non-member. One of my friends has a TFCC membership and I could’ve gotten the set for under $100, but by the time he checked the site out, they were already sold out. Of course, the non-membership price through BBTS is double that, but I willingly bit the bullet.

Holy crap, he’s bigger than I thought.

Because they ship internationally when Hasbro doesn’t and the Club Intnl’ shipping rates are absurd.

Most in Europe or Asia use BBTS because Club shipping can sometimes be twice the BBTS mark-up.

More images of MP-08 Grimlock and…Henkei Dirge and Thrust?

Yay, another pair of exclusives that’ll cost $75 apiece!
