Thanks for the advice, Daidoji. I’m hoping to find an MP Grimlock for a decent price but since he would be the newest MP available, I’m betting prices are gonnabe crazy.
What colors of non-transformable MP Rollers/Rollars are available? I only saw silver in the BBTS mail that I just got - wasn’t the old default blue? =(
Color of Rollar was dependent on the year and country you bought your Prime in.
As far as I know, there is blue and grey for the US released G1 Prime’s.
I’ve always wanted to get my hands on the fat barrel gun for G1 Prime. I always got the skinny barrel.

This is just a quick mock up of what it could potentially look like.
Oh c’mon! G1 Bruticus was cool and all, but he has only been re-released a thousand times before. Just like G1 Prime, he’s probably the second most reissued G1 bot ever.
Looks at MISB Universe Ruination(Bruticus recolor) on shelf
Give us something different like Menasor.
Or Computron…
But I’m not gonna hate. I prefer G1 Bruticus with diecast parts (assuming that’s the version they’re re-issuing) even though that mold produced some pretty cool repaints over time (Ruination). At least they’re back to re-issuing combiners.
Bruticus again! Ive got the universe set and whatever he was named on RiD. I do not want it a third time. but die cast you say?
I really like what they are doing with the encore line this time instead of just reissuing the jets and tiny cars and the leaders.
they need to reissue predaking again. that would be amazing
Ruination.
Awesome new article on Cracked.com regarding Megatron and Starscream’s working relationship. read it here.
Too bad there’s nothing about Starscream’s rise to power from the movie.
“Waaaiiit, I still …function.”
“Wanna bet?”
my favorite part of the whole movie.
I can’t believe I was watching that movie today for the first time since the DVD re-release dropped.
“WHO DARES INTERRUPT MY CORONATION?!”
“Coronation, Starscream? This is bad comedy.”
“Megatron…is that you?”
“HERE’S A HINT!”
Technically, Bruticus has never been reissued. Re-colors and various versions of Ruination have been released over the years, but Bruticus has not.
Also, this is actually the Bruticus Giftset, which was never released anywhere except for Japan and Italy.
Here’s hoping for an eHobby Battle Gaia to go with him.
But they’re the same mold (diecast or not), so between G2, the Ruination repaints , and various KOs, he’s right.
Picked up Henkei Classics Galvatron yesterday (took me long enough :razz: )
Next on the radar Henkei Cyclonus & MP Grimlock!
My wallet however isn’t very thrilled about this one :wgrin:
Just saying that a release of the mold is equivalent to an original release would mean that Thundercracker and Skywarp are reissues of Starscream. I don’t know anyone who would consider it that way…
Oh, I’m not referring to them that way. I realize Thundercracker and Skywarp are *repaints *of Starscream (not reissues) of the same mold. Just like Ruination was a *repaint *of G1 Bruticus because it used the same mold, albeit a few minor mold differences (i.e. diecast vs. plastic, folding Vortex rotors, etc.). I realize it comes down to semantics, but I don’t see how my assessment is that far off.
Besides the Galvatron issue, it also fails to mention that Megatron actually exiled Screamer during the episode “Starscream’s Brigade”
That working relationship is too hilarious XD
