Transformers Thread

Meh. I don’t care about the details of the upcoming movie. All I care about right now is Alternators/Binaltech -

Mirage ain’t bad but the new Prime/Ford F250 lokks horrible. Hey Javi, you get Skids yet? What do think of him? I think he’s one of the better new Alt’s to come out since Meister.

here’s better pics of Alt Mirage:

I have Skids, and I think he’s one of the best Alts to date. A new vehicle, no repaint, no “transformation clones” (other than Broadblast), and once you see him, you KNOW it’s Skids…there’s no doubt.

I think that Prime was originally going to be Trailbreaker (if you listen to rumors in some circles). Only reason that they did that is because a pickup Truck Alt would not sell in Japan. They would flock to a new Convoy figure.

Check out this digibash (using Prime body, Swindle/Trailbreaker had, and Shockwave gun-arm). Go down on the page a little bit, around 33%.

Is there a second movie where Cybertron comes alive like Unicron? This kid told me years ago and I never found out if he was full of shit or not.

Prime is an SRT-10. I think they shoudlve made it Kup instead of Prime, but I dont collect the series, so no worries from me.

I’ve been out of it for a while, Brian - however I will be back into it again. But I did pick up Prowl the other day, not too bad. Skids and Sunstreaker will be my next ones. As far as Prime goes… I’m not too sure yet. It is refreshing to see him NOT have the windows on his chest.

I think that Kup would have best been suited for those new-old-style Chevy trucks. I don’t remember the name. http://www.tfmaster.com/gallery_kb0098.php?POSTNUKESID=cc7b4750d9586b7cd8535821ee7944df

Yeah. He’s full of shit. There is no 2nd movie.

BUT…in the Transformers: Cybertron series, the planet Cybertron does indeed transform into Primus (a giant robot).

Here’s the toy and check out the box art with all of the Autobot leaders: http://tfkenkon.com/g/?mode=album&album=toy+previews%2FTakara+Primus

This is gonna be SWEET if its true.

kid also may have been referring to the starscream’s ghost episodes where unicron wants to be rebuilt using cybertron as a new body

Where can I find story info for the stuff after G1?

A Masterpiece Starscream. Holy crap, the thought of it just makes me giddy. BUt you know Takara/Hasbro’s just going to repaint the shit outta him >> Thundercracker, Skywarp and the everyone else in-between.

That’s Season 3, Headmasters and Victory.

season 3&4 is still G1

I know but he’s asking for stuff past G1. Since Season 3 & 4 is all Rodimus & crew, wouldn’t that count?

Catching up on my Alts, slowly but surely. Picked up Skids, Sunstreaker, Prowl in the past 1.5 months. Haven’t found Decepticharge nor Swerve - are they discontinued? Saw Rollbar and Ricochet at a Wal-Mart, but will wait based on my self-imposed limitation.

I think they just got hurried outta’ the way to make room for Streker, Prowl and Skids. I saw Rollbar and Ricochet at KayBee as well but skipped. I’m not a big fan on repaints.

Hey Jav, if you by chance happen to see another Hound while your out, lemme know. He’s the only regular Alt that has avoided my grasp. I have the Decepticon one but I’d rather have the original.

Not at all. That’s like saying that today is after March just because it’s after March 1.

i’ve never even seen a Deceipticharge or a Dead End, which is why I lack them. Both of their assortments are done as far as anybody knows, so you’ll probably need to take extra effort to get them. Swerve was seriously short-packed. I got him as soon as I saw him, knowing it might be my last chance. I also lack Swindle because I always assumed he’d be there since he never moved, and by the time I was ready to get him, he was gone. I’d suggest getting Rollbar and Ricochet anyway as soon as you can, before it’s too late.

I just want to take this moment to say:

FUCK YOU ALTERNATORS WHEELJACK.

It took me the better part of a weekend to figure out how to transform him from robot to car, and he’s still not exactly right.

Way to go Takara/Hasbro. Make a transformer that’s harder to transform then Rubik’ Cube.

That being said, I love the line. I just disagree with Alternators Prime being a Ram.

We already have Alternators Prime, he’s just called 20th Anniversary Prime.
