From that angle, IMO, the 3rd party release did it better

Also, some of the Transformers Cloud lineup

Cloud Shockwave (Repainted Whirl)

I might have to agree with you there. Citizen Stack looks better.

New TF Series to launch post movie hype:

Here is a link to this year’s TF Hall of Fame Poll:

The Nominees are:

Optimus Primal (my vote)
Arcee
Devastator
Rodimus
Blackarachnia

Sorry, but the 3P release did it better IMO

Out of those nominees…
Primal, Blackarachnia, and Devastator, IMO.
Definitely feeling a BW character, though.

Man, just saw that Casey Kasem passed away. He did the voices of

Cliffjumper
Bluestreak
Teletraan 1
Dr. Arkeville

RIP Good Sir

Angry Birds - Transformers

Yes, THE FRANCHISE HAS OFFICIALLY MADE IT LOL!

Quick question, if I wanted to try and hunt down the name of an old toy transformer I had, what would be the best resource? It was a space shift that was creme and crimson, to transform, you twisted the bottom half 180, then folded the legs over the chest, then the front of the shuttle (which was circular) would come up. Seeing Jetfire while watching TF with my son this weekend made me think of it.

EDIT - NVM, found it - Scattershot…

Google Fu for the win…
G2 was the solution…

You can also try TFU.info as well.

Sidenote, have you seen the new MakeToys ā€œQuantronā€ (not-Computron). It’s actually really impressive

Here is not-Scattershot

Link to the Gallery of the whole crew:

LMAO ā€œNot Scattershotā€ - fooled me. And damn that’s sweet. I almost feel cheated, but I played with SS so much that I can’t say anything negative except ā€œThose old TF stickers didn’t stay on for anythingā€

Anyone else get the TRU Grimlock reissue yet? Some reason, the previous release feels more solid to me. My buddy has that one and it just feels much better. I had not had a chance to compare the 2 side by side yet.

anybody in Los Angeles?

I heard that the quality of plastic is worse on the MP Grimlock V2. I have noticed that the Hasbro rereleases, they shaft the second one with more cost cutting practices instead of refining a release. Look at FE Prime. How do you skip paint on an entire door section.

More official MP Bumblebee pics!
