Transformers Thread

:o amazing thanks for the info

@MechWarrior‌, Yeah that’s supposed to be what the Dinobots represented. No more talking to corporate and government scum, no more belief in the systen, no more diplomacy, just primal rage (yes I know). Interesting message they were trying to send, especially with the parallels the movie made with the real world.

The rumor mill says Transformers 5 and 6 will be directed by Liebesman. Battle LA and TMNT were both terrible.

Generations Cw Silverbolt Review

Generations CW Optimus Prime Review

Hasbro got monies, why not pay for a better director and return a bigger profit.

Just read MTMTE 36, sooo good.

Review for MP Magnus

So, I got Generations Crosscut, Jhiaxus, Nightbeat and Windblade(with 2 of all but Nightbeat as gifts for my younger relatives on Christmas Day), and just ordered JP AoE Crosshairs and Hound(JP versions are more accurate/better painted and stuff)earlier today through TFSource.

Life is nice~

Generations CW Powerglide review!

Merry Xmas guys!

Gen. Skydive review

Anyone got any TF presents for xmas?

I got the Last Stand of the Wreckers hardcover and Generations Brainstorm. :slight_smile:

No TF presents here this year. However, Skywarp will be here next month lol. Now that the holidays are over, I gotta purge again. Stuff that I don’t have displaying is getting sold off. Most of it isn’t anything of real value, but you never know.

Hey Guys, any of you Skywarp fanatics in the thread may want to get your Preorder for Skywarp ready. It appears it’s going to be a pretty limited run for the figure. TFSource has already sold out, and BBTS is pretty low (23 left at the time of writing this). I am not too sure about the other sites.

Takara Updated their site to include a stop motion video showcasing MP-22 Magnus and the ability to interact with the other MP cars.

I just wanted to share my 2014 holiday haul with you guys. It’s a combination of stuff that was gifted to me and holiday deals I jumped on. You’ll notice the mix of domestic, international releases, and add-ons. The FOC Grimlock and Bruticus were actually purchased last year. I just acquired their upgrades.

OK, that sucks, now that it’s “officially” 2015 over here, and I just found out about this just now. Still, HNY (2015) , everyone. (*)

Wow. Fuck. I had no idea that shit was even on Netflix D:

Got the update from BBTS that MP Skywarp was sitting in my “pile of loot”. Since there is nothing else that I want for the next couple of months, it’s being shipped. I’ll post some comparison pics. It may even convince me to sell the first release. We shall see . . . . .

Has anyone seen/ have any of the Combiner wars figures? I am in limbo about Prime as HasTakTomy is wearing me down on that figure. Unfortunately if you get the Prime, I gotta get the Aerialbots to combine it, and then I gotta get Silverbolt. . . . .DAMN YOU HASBRO!

@AnhVuDo‌, just realized in that pic you have Cloud Optimus Prime. I also see you have the Generations Evolution 2 Pack as well. In your opinion which one is better?

That makes me regret not buying the Acid Storm. The packaging looks really nice.

How do the KO series Dinobots mesh with the MP series Grimlock?

@optimus124 Honestly, Cloud Optimus.

The evolution 2-pack repaint feels like the quality control is lower. It’s a step below the Classics release. His leg joints are tighter because of the coating of chrome paint but his left shoulder and elbow are weaker. The back joints that hold the “shield/buster gun” are loose, too. Issues like that can vary if you picked one up yourself though. The cab mode doesn’t look right because the way the blue on the flaps on the legs show through the red paint (I can post the pic of that if anyone wants). Not an issue but worth mentioning but: the eyes have been painted yellow to match the original G1 toy’s paint scheme so you lose the optics effect.

The price of the cloud isn’t bad considering it’s an exclusive and how limited it is. It also looks like a G1 cartoon homage to this mold. The quality feels like any of the other Japanese releases, too. They are all very solid on the QC department. Joints are all tight. This is my experience with them anyways.

I have the Evo 2 pack and like it. It was also the reason why I skipped the Cloud version. Guess I have to track it down now LOL

MP-10 re-release by Takara for 189.99 on TFSource and BBTS. While this is great, it sucks for the people that got ver.1 and paid almost $300 for it.
