Transformers Thread

I have all first run classics as of today. TRU Prime and Megatron are really, really floppy. Really. Floppy.

is that the 20 dollar 2-pack where megatron is a tank?

I heard nothing but bad stuff for those. What did you think of the others-scream,astro/hotrod etc?

Yeah, thatā€™s the 2-pack. I like the posability of the little prime,a nd I love Megatronā€™s transformation. Theyā€™re just really, really, floppy. And primeā€™s vehicle mode is horrible.

Starscream is pretty close to perfect. Iā€™d prefer a turning head and more arm posability, but itā€™s okay. heā€™s pretty much a perfect Starscream. Bumblebee is the best Bumblebee to date, easily. Hot Rod is pretty much 1986 Hot Rod updated in all the right ways. big Prime is a fun figure and good looking in both modes with good posability (and heavily armed). Nerf Gun Megatron has a fun transformation, is majestic looking in robot mode, and fun to play with in gun mode. I just wish he had a better sense of balanceā€“all the posability is limited if he canā€™t stand up. Astrotrainā€™s alt modes are a bit compromised, but he is otherwise perfect. Great robot mode, nice transformation, etc. Very nice figure. Thus far Iā€™m very pleased with the line, and Jetfire looks to be that much better.

Iā€™ll never get it. Every damn time I call TRU, Soundwave is sold out.(*this is on the rare occasion I actually get an answerā€¦we all know TRU always just has TWO people working at a store at any given point in the day) Fuck these store-exclusive dealsā€¦it just screws over the customer if it happens to be a hot item. Store sells out = NO option for getting it, because that store was your only hope. This is so annoying.

Jetfire is imo the best classic.

For anyone who cares: heres a penciled alternate cover of the **Kup **spotlight comic:

NICE!!!..im getting the mettalic silver purple and black logo covering my whioe chest very soonā€¦it was supposed to be done a last month but im statrting my own gig and money has been tightā€¦im also getting the transformers victory logo coming across the top of my backā€¦i love that shitā€¦its gonna be hard!!! bro:lovin:

There may be hope yetā€¦ I think. Basically, the Soundwave rerelease got delayed. I ordered it long ago from the Toys R Us website, and near the supposed release date, I received an email from them saying that the item was delayed.

Also the Soundwave toy is no longer available on the website anymoreā€¦ I canā€™t find it! I think they took it off, or Iā€™m going crazy.

Also, I checked my Toys R Us store regularly, and they never received it yet. So I think it hasnā€™t been ā€œsold outā€, just hasnā€™t come out yet.

I donā€™t member what the victory logo looks like pics :wonder:

^ā€”there ya go

that metallic originl decepticon symbol is tricky to get doneā€¦you basiclly want a artist that can do photo realismā€¦so theres a buddy down the street from my that is a above average artist who owes me some favorsā€¦that i can get it done for like 200.00 or i can go to this mack daddy artist up near RONIN CHAOS in Marrieata thats gonna charge me atleast 800 bucksā€¦but i know its gonna be right an d its not one of those hook up dealsā€¦im leaning towards the laterā€¦that thing is mettalic and it has purple and black in it and my skin is dark brownā€¦i want the sharpest shit on my chest

regardless i gotta wait for my biz to jump off and catch on saving money before i will be able to rock itā€¦i thinking i might have it done by FINAL ROUND 10

editā€¦here is a webpage with the bigger logo

Whenā€™s the next trailer for the 2007 movie gonna come out?

Allegedly Dec 22

Cool I paid about 300 for this one I am thinking of getting megatron somewhere but I need to find a good picture of him that I like first

My brother ordered Soundwave from BBTS, and it says it is on the way here sometime this week; Iā€™ll keep yaā€™ll updated if he arrives.

I was gonna attempt to defend (although I really donā€™t know the fuck why) the 'bot designs, but Iā€™m lazy. Still think Blackout is badass tho.

yeah I work at TRU and yes we never did get any in.

this thread reminds me of clerks II.

Soundwave is out. My brotherā€™s BBTS order arrived Thursday, heā€™s packaged in tapedeck mode w/Ravage and Laserbeak in their animal modes. They also have the clear cassete holders to go with them, and the box has a nifty fold-in of Soundwave that pops up when you open it.

I guess start checking TRU this week, they might have waited until the week before X-Mas (sounds like TRU) to get them in.

Man, I love this Rodimus Prime

very true. A while back we were just stocking up Elmos and told guests we had none. Once we had 100 of those fuckers we finally told guests we had them lol.
