Transformers Thread

sweet, spent an hour at the dmv…

went to the toys r us next door to it, and wfc prime & bumblebee were waiting for me! :love:
not only that but bogo 50% off was going on :badboy:

I fucking love when shit evens itself out.

TRU bogo nets me:

RotF Leader Starscream
RotF Payload
PCC Set
PCC Huffer
PCC Searchlight
PCC Smolder

Lots of fun with the little haul there. Really the only disappointment was the PCC combiner set. I expected it to be crappy and I was right. The two packs are *nice *though.

hows that leader starscream? haven’t seen him out yet, but I haven’t been looking in awhile either.

wfc prime is the shit. I haven’t seen such a cool little tf for $10 in a very long time. he’s solid, pose-able, and has lots of little sliding parts that you can kind of manipulate to your liking so he looks cool. car mode is very solid, everything locks in place nicely and he just looks mean.

bb is pretty nice also, didn’t have a chance to spend as much time on him, but he looks nice in both modes. very pose-able in robot mode, and a sleek car mode. he’s got some cool little gimmicks like clear red, tuck away blades that come out of his arms (obviously for backstabbing bitchez), and the same plastic (clear red shit) was applied to his wheel rims. he’s pretty cool, probably one of my favorite bb’s in recent memory (I don’t have alternity yet…).

Leader Starscream is hands down the best Leader sized movie Transformer. It has literally, everything. Detail, articulation, features, accuracy…it’s all there.

The alt mode is amazing with a complex yet easy transformation. I can’t recommend this toy enough if you like Transformers. So good…

cool, got a vacation coming up with a bit of cash to blow. will scoop him up then if I can find him.
I was a pretty big fan of rotf prime/jetfire/megs, and I don’t even like the movie shit. so if he’s on (or beyond) their level I’m definitely excited.

I still can’t believe they didn’t produce a Leader Class ‘the Fallen’. I mean, he was the Decepticon leader!

I want WFC Prime, but I can’t find him anywhere. TRU has that sale going on, but that figure is already ghost.

they had 2 wfc primes at the tru I went to. the one I was about to buy, I looked inside the pack and his head was lobbed off :rofl: I dunno if it had been broken or just popped off, so I snagged the other one they had. the head was still floating around in the package though haha.

only one bumbler though.

OP124: Someone picked up the last WFC Prime at my local TRU. I would’ve picked it up for you had I known you were having problems snagging one for yourself.

I went over there yesterday after work to check out the new Power Core stuff, but I was beaten to the punch. All that was left was a Night Ops Ratchet, Jetblade, and PC Searchlight, which I wasn’t that high on from the beginning.

We need to organize a group buy or something. Not everyone here has a TRU, Walmart, or Target nearby. And even if they do, poor distribution coupled with scalping makes it almost impossible to obtain new figs in-store.

BTW I tried adding you on PSN, but it says you’ve added the max number of friends allowed.

Then you might be happy about the next TF Masterpiece announced today by TFSource.

I can’t stand the movie designs so this is an easy pass for me. Speaking of MP’s, Grimlock is supposed to be available @ TRU now, isn’t he? I heard early July shelf date?

Yes, he is coming to a TRU near you very soon.

dammit now I have to start stalking tru’s again.

mp grimlock isn’t a want, it’s a necessity.

Lazy and money grabbing. At least the other MP repaints were of new MP molds and not just a mold from another line that was released last year.

I’m not gonna lie. I think the MP packaging art for Leader SS is nice.

Takara/Tomy Masterpiece Rodimus/Hot Rod confirmed

ok, mp rodimus is enough to forget the repackaged leader SS.
probably my favorite toy as a kid, got him for a b-day present.

That MP Movie Edition Starscream looks horrible. I was hoping we could put Bay’s stupidity with regards to bot design behind us. “Conservation of mass unless some 100lb girl is packing 50 feet of metal tail”? =P

Hot Rod will be nice.

Agreed. At half the price of the initial release and he includes the crown from the “almost-twice-the-price-of the-first release” repaint, I must own this MP.

Sweet.

Still hoping for Soundwave someday.

I had to got to a meeting for work on the other side of town. Since TRU was en route, I had to check again

I Got WFC Prime. Too bad he is so small, but Hasbro did a damn good job translating it into toy form on this scale. They only had 2 of the figures left

he’s really nice, so cool to just look at in robot form.
I find myself tinkering with him inbetween games of wfc, lol :rofl:

thiiiiink I’ll do my grims hunting tomorrow morning. 3 day weekend, nothin to do…3 tru’s in the area…
wish me luck :slight_smile:
