Transformers Thread

I’m not. I’m waiting for a Philly, Baltimore, or NY location.

Not too sure if I’ll be attending, in fact the chance is pretty small.

I gotta see how the finance thing works. I’m looking at trying to go to Vegas later this year. NEED MO CLUB MONEY!!!

Sea Spray eh? Here’s hoping he’s an LCAC (Landing Craft Air Cushion). Those things are badass.

Battle Ops Bumblebee

This could be the Leader BB they were talking about.

There’s a thread in TFW2005 discussing the Top 20 TF toy molds of all time.

Here’s my Top 20:

  10. G1 Shockwave
  11. G1 Jetfire
  12. G1 Devastator

Honorable Mention: G1 Insecticons, G1 Punch-Counterpunch, G1 Blaster, G1 Blitzwing, BW Optimal Optimus

Heh, you know the funny thing is that Hasbro came around to the major websites and ask us to take that info down. Privilaged information ba-dow!

So, I think I’m in the mood to track down a G1 Devastator this year. Trypticon too. I find it to be very strange that I never got around to Devastator. I think somewhere in my head I was convinced he would get a reissue.

Hmmm. I agree with 90% of this list. I always thought Blaster and Power Master OP were hideously ugly pieces. I think RID Prime should be higher too. Best OP produced since G1.

LOL should I take it down, DK?

oh no, not at all. I just thought it was funny.

I’ve never owned a G1 Devastator, either. Sure, I could easily get a KO but I’d rather get the real deal (not that I look down on anyone for buying KO’s).

I just traded a 2.0 Starscream for a Spark Blue Music Label Soundwave, which includes everything except the headphones. I’d say that’s a steal.

Yeah, that’s a pretty good steal. Dude must have really wanted that Starscream.

Just watched the first webisode of the series that’s supposed to follow NEST after the events of ROTF I think. Yeah, it’s retarded. The whole thing is only about three minutes long, and I couldn’t last past the two minute mark.

I like 2.0 Starscream, but I know I can fetch him at a good price some other time. I essentially got ML Soundwave for the cost of a $10 deluxe.

Wow, who did that? (in their right mind…)

I would like to trade my Universe 2.0 Starscream for a G1 Devastator. Any takers? :smiley:

G1 Skylynx should’ve been on my list.

What’s a 2.0 Starscream? Is that Henkei Starscream?

Every TF fan should own a G1 Devastator at least once in their lifetime. Such a magnificent piece.

2.0 Starscream was released under the more recent Universe line. He’s white, instead of gray, has a darker face, and there are varying paint apps. It’s not bad IMO. It’s more plain than anything, but a few details and touch-ups with a brush and I’d say its almost as good as the Classics version, if not better.

TFCC Exclusive Punch/Counterpunch and Shattered Glass Cyclonus Revealed

jesus stupid subscription never updates my tf link. didn’t use to be this shitty with the old forum.

but yeah I love my g1 skylynx/omega supreme reissues. 2 toys I always wanted as a kid and finally broke down on them last year when bbts had their clearance.
I think there’s still a few better toys out there, but they’re easily 2 that would make my top 20.

I’d probably go new-school and throw a couple alt’s on that list as well, since they did get me back into TF’s in the first place.
