imo yes, there are only 2 mild negatives imo.

1)color schme(yes its MArvel comic accurate, but too white overall)
2) the train mode is a little goofy, but nowhere as bad as most people claim it to be

Still, the articulation is pretty goodEspecially compared to the G1 toy), has a G1 accurate wepon, and has a cool headsculpt and is pretty stable.

All the classics are worth getting, you wont be disappointed.

Also, Target has the two-pack Skywarp/Ultra Magnus classics pack on sale for about 14 bucks, go pick them up while you can.

Also, Voyagers are going on clearance at Wal-marts. They are selling for $5 apiece! (Jetfire/Prime/Megs) and the thread is on tfw.com

Picked up MP Starscream and Classics Astrotrain today. Only had time to look over him once though. Awesome. That face change feature on Screamer is just too good. And at last I have an Astrotrain to go with that old G1 tech spec card lying around.

Now if only I can find a good spot to display Starscream.

Nice to see at least one TF with a sword/shield combo…

G1 Bludgeon can defeat him shieldless

Diek_Stiekem · March 24, 2007, 10:27pm

I haven’t been able to track him down yet, but I will pick him up without doubt if I see him somwhere.

If you have trouble finding one, you know I can hook you right on up if it comes down to it. :tup:

Picked up the Soundwave reissue today. Had to pay a pretty penny for it, but it was worth it. I’m loving him. Laserbeak and Ravage are awesome.

I may have mentioned before, there’s a hobby shop not too far from where I live. This place is going to bankrupt me. Alternators, Binaltech, Titanium, Classics, Masterpieces, reissues, it’s got a shitload of cool stuff. I’m always looking and wanting, but today I decided to hell with it, I was gonna buy one.

I was sort of debating over Titanium Soundwave and reissue Soundwave, when Alternators Nemesis Prime caught my eye. The shop had both the regular Alt. Nemesis as well as the Comic-Con Alt Nemesis. Comic-Con Alt Nemesis was selling for about $170, same as MP Prime. But the regular Alt. Nemesis was decently priced. It was hard to get a good bead on Nemesis Prime’s robot mode, and I couldn’t see reissue Soundwave at all, so I decided to hop over to an internet cafe and peep some pics. I decided that if I was to do Soundwave, def. reissue, but Nemesis Prime kinda won me over. Went back to the store, and found that someone had already bought Nemesis Prime in just the 20 minutes I’d left! :sad: “Settled” for Soundwave, but that’s still a winning situation.

I still want that Nemesis Prime though.

Hmm… ofc I would’ve preffered Welker, but Bay could have done waaaay worse

someone did a quick fan edit of weaving as Megs with some processing. Not bad …

Soundatron · March 25, 2007, 8:52pm

that edit fuckin sucked

Geese_Pants · March 25, 2007, 10:52pm

Hugo Weaving is a good choice for Megatron…he’s got that menacing voice.

System_1 · March 26, 2007, 7:19pm

RUMOR: Keith David will play Barricade, the Decepticon police cruiser.
He is most known in voice over as the voice of goliath from Gargoyles and Spawn in the HBO animated series as well as numerous supporting live action roles

Geese_Pants · March 26, 2007, 7:32pm

Fucking Awesome…:tup:

You’re not seriously going to pay $170.00 for an Alternator Nemesis Prime? That’s insane! Wait for after-market prices to drop some first, that’s just crazy. If you’re going to spend that kind of cash, buy MP Prime with his trailer - that’s worth it.

HOLY FUCKING HELL! YES!! Keith David is the fucking man. He was also Angel in “Requiem for a Dream”. :wgrin:
