Looks really good. Is it just me or does the sword contain an LED? It looks like it’s glowing in 2 of the 3 pictures.
Yeah, I believe when it was first announced, they mentioned one (at least one, maybe both) of his hands would have an LED to light the sword up. Of course, that could have changed by now, and the sword has the LED instead. Also, I remember hearing his T-Rex mouth will light up as well, unless they’ve changed that.
Anyway, he looks good. :woot:
Yea, he looks really good. The use of chrome is nice and it isn’t the least bit tacky. I also like the “stickers” on the feet. Nice homage to the original toy. Don’t know if those will be on the actual toy itself. I expect some variances with the finished product since this may or may not be a photoshop.
Yay! My MP Thundercracker came today. I haven’t put the stickers on him yet so he’s just hanging out in jet mode next to the rest of the collection. :tup:
damn, i was just looking at pics of MP seeker. it seems what im talking about, can either be attacheted to his lower leg, or next to his hip. they should have made it so that it would always stay at his lower leg so theyd be bulkier. which would look nicer IMO.
not that seeker looks bad, hes actually really cool. the only one i dont really like that much so far is MP megs. the character and the mold are favorites, but the toy is way too skinny around the legs and certain other parts. id rather have a less gun looking but more accurate looking robot mode. but thats just me.
For anyone that picked up that Target Exclusive Road Buster/Dirge 2-pack, Nato-bot Toys will be releasing an upgrade set for Road Buster to make him look more character accurate. This set includes a faceplate, rifle, and cannon.
Note: Buyers will have the option of purchasing the complete set or part(s) of it.
Here’s a price guide (does not include S&H):
NBC-02 RB (complete): $28.99
NBC-02A RB (faceplate and rifle only): $12.99
NBC-02B RB (cannon only): $17.99
TFA is great. I was sceptical at first, when I saw the cartoony designs, but I really like the series.
My favorite design so far is Grimlock. His T-Rex mode is awesome.
A look at possibly one of the first TF2 movie toys: ROTF Dead End?
Looks pretty cool. I especially like the alt mode. That’s also the movie Soundwave toy in the 6th pic if anyone’s curious.
My order for MP Thundercracker and Ultra Magnus was finally processed and shipped. I’ll probably get it between tomorrow and Friday. I also bought Henkei Dirge and Thrust from a guy doing a group buy on TFW2005 (I posted the info a few pages back if they’re interested - payment due by December 10th). These won’t ship until March though.
MP Grimlock looks good when coloured.
I still would of liked an updated T-Rex, but oh well.
I was going to order from them, but their shipping is rape and ends up costing just as much overall as ordering from TFSource. I was considering them when placing my preorder for MP Thundercracker, Magnus, and Grimlock.
Oooooh… me like! 
oh god MP Grimlock looks awesome. the depressing thing is since I moved I can’t afford to buy anything until the old house sells. Looks like I’ll be paying e-bay ransoms once I get back on my feet.
Saw this hilarious image on another website, and thought you guys would get a kick out of it too:
(work safe)
I hope it is Dead End (<3 him), and I kinda don’t, if they are still doing that stupid “If X character appears in X series, they can’t appear in any other series” embargo. I feel the same way about Wheeljack, even though it almost guarantees him and Perceptor a new toy being in Animated, it means that if they weren’t planning on a Universe release for him before the hiatus, they might not ever get around to him. -_-;
PsychoSquall: I may have bought something from them on Ebay before, I really don’t remember, but I’ve heard they are reliable… just high on shipping like Satomiblood said.
cute
Yay, VOYAGER Rhinox, not some tiny Deluxe. I’m cool with a new Soundwave, though I use my MP3Wave for Classics/Universe.
2005 also said the TFCC Botcon exclusives for next year will have 3 characters with remolded heads. Animated is the “big push” this year, but Universe has been selling well, so it could be either.
how are the universe figures? I only got the first wave of deluxe figures except galvatron because he looks like total ass.
