Transformers Thread

In Animated, Megatron pretty much exiled Starscream as soon as he found out he was responsible for the bomb that blew him apart.

YOU CRAZY!

I remember sending you guys a box with Prime and BW stuff, but that’s it. The closest I’ve come to a face-to-face chat with either of you was a phone call or some such.

In regards to Bruticus…

Starscream: … Bruticus? guuuhhhkk
Megatron: NO! Not Bru-ti-cus!

I hope they make Battle Gaia to piss people of… I mean make people happy. Yeah. >_>

I’m proposing this contest idea at TFW2005’s customizing forum where various people create a modern G1 Sixshot toy. It’d have to have 6 legit forms and not be a parts-former.

Sounds tough. Good luck on that.

It’s never really been done before although I can understand why (lots of parts engineering involved). Well, someone had begun work on it, but they passed away.

Hey ya’ll…

Got some new Classics here…anyone else have these?

That pic makes me very confused

Diaclone

Lol.

Hey DK, don’t let your Sixshot get away.

I’ll do what I can. It’d be nice to finally get him again. Why are you selling him?

I just want to narrow the focus of my collection down to Revoltech, Classics/Universe, Animated, Masterpiece, and Binaltech/Alternator.

G1 is just a really expensive line to get into and while he’s a cool figure to have, I believe someone else would enjoy him a lot more.

Speaking of which, I’m surprised you don’t own him already.

g1 is the ugliest line of all time. the designs where brilliant and beautiful. but the way the toys looked, and the fact that they cant move, legs usually attached to each other and other way too ugly shit its just fucked up. masterpiece betters this by using the same design with new joints and just far better looking bots. they can actually pose. besides masterpiece, some of the titaniums and henkeis classics look pretty damn nice. just wish they used the old designs for the henkeis (they oly look 10 times better). the lambos being countachs, grimlock having the dino tail as legs, not the head as legs? wtf happened to his chest? just my opinion btw.

I play a really slow hand with G1. I buy few exceptional pieces per year. Otherwise, I’d end up on buying binges. This year Wheeljack is on the list. I finished the Dinobots in 08’.

:rofl:

But it was the 70’s and 80’s…

It’s been roughly 25-30 years since these molds were first designed and produced. Toy engineering wasn’t as good as it is now. There wasn’t as much detail, the transformations weren’t all that complex, and there was very limited articulation (if any).

Your posts make me shake my head sometimes.

That’s definitely a smart way to do it.

Did you get my PM?

I’ve yet to get TFA Blurr…

Did you get Smokescreen online or in-store?

DOOO EEET. He rocks, simple as that. I put him with my classics too. :lovin:

The whole Hound/Cyclonus/Cheetor/Dinobot/Smokescreen/Starscream wave is pretty much win as well. Although I think Bluestreak looks best in the new mold, the Smokescreen is pretty eye-catching. Dinobot and Cheetor surprised me; hopefully we’ll see more Beast Wars characters soon.

I respectfully disagree. yeah, some of the molds were pretty uglu (like G1 Megatron) but it’s that style that makes me appreciate it so much more than the new stuff.

The new stuff has been looking really good, it’s definitley improving in leaps and bounds, but I still really like the boxy, clunky style. That’s probably the reason why I hated Bay’s TF movie so much. It’s his style that I think is horrendously ugly.

I need to get back into completeing my Alternator collection. I’m still not interested in all the repaints but I really do need to pick up Hound, Mirage and Hot Rod still.

Online.

Sorry DK (Sixshot).
