RD Blade

Never been banned, but got an infraction on a TF forum. I called another member a jackass. It's strange though. I get the impression that the mod agreed with me. Not only did the member get banned shortly after, but my infraction history showed up as "improper sig" rather than "insulted fellow member".

Very cool. I absolutely love the M.A.S.K. theme. But as far as 80's coolness goes (seems like an oxymoron), Galaxy Rangers gets my vote.

That's a whole lotta surgery.

Nevermind.

Ditto.

Isn't he the TRU exclusive repaint of Silverbolt? You found him for $10?

Yup.

Saw both review of the Beagle. I'm quite impress! Especially, the improvements done on the Ley. However, the vid did not show whether the stearing can be done in bike mode of course??

Where the hell do you people buy your toys? Get the Toynami version, it's less than $200. The Beagle Stick was even on sale at HLJ for less than $200 shipped at one point. I don't think anyone ever paid $300 for one of these toys.

How are your local stores holding with stock on ROTF toys?

In Jersey, deluxe Bumblebee is rare. I only saw one HA Bumblebee once. I bought it and haven't seen that figure in stores since. Leader Prime and Megs are easily available...especially Megs. Sideswipe seems to be selling well. Not seeing too many of those on pegs. Saw voyager Megatron once...never again. Voyager Optimus is only a little easier to find. Starscream and the Constructicons are warming shelves. Jetfire is too new to know for sure, but I saw plenty of those recently. There are plenty of ghetto twins and Ravages on pegs.

Those are the only ones I recall at the moment.

I shall now praise Takara-Tomy to the sky; not only for reissuing an Autobot that I never had as a child, but for giving him a beautiful new head sculpt.... or... was that how it always was?

Looks just like the oringinal...except for the blue visor. I'm almost positive the original was red.

Not sure what you mean by leg armor, I only see the front of the cycles which make the chest armor.

Didn't he already do it and they named it skyfire?

Yep...and in both modes, which makes no sense.

I picked up the first wave Snake Eyes and Stormshadow 3.75" figures. Stormshadow looks like a decent representation of his movie self. Snake Eyes...not so much.

The 12" figures of these guys was also available, but I passed. Normally, I'll snatch up anything ninja related. But it seems the small figures are much better-looking.

I think I found a Toynami mistake. At least it should be considered one.

You know how the RB MPC packages make one big picture when you put them all together, ie Ricks elbow is actually seen on the Ben spine? (see ref pic below)

Well with these ride-armors I noticed first that I did not like the art of Rand's arm going for his gun at all, looks awkward to me. Second I noticed the 'collectable card' art that came with it and saw that Scott's cycle should be well into Rand's frame, covering that awkward arm, making a much better scene when all stacked together.

I have to think this is an error, or poor judgement, and for the first time I am disappointed in the MPC packaging . . .

Must keep this thread alive!

Tengu Milk!!!

How come Hasbro never commissioned anyone to make a G.I. Joe real-time strategy game to compete with Command & Conquer? That would've been a better idea than this crappy live-action film.

I tried this last night. It was easy enough, 4 screws, no biggies.

Who has a good photo of the new ROTF Jetfire in Robot mode?

But seriously...there are a few here.

The only emotions that I can verbalize right now are confusion...and maybe a little fear.

Also, looking at Exo's SB, his under suit looks too redish. Wasn't it more maroone?

Or you could have bid on Frenzy Rumble's freaking awesome custom... http://www.flickr.com/photos/10842042@N04/3629792337

man, it sold for 1,600$...

I dunno about the writers, I mean they are perfectly capable of writing a solid well liked script. They did do the new Trek after all. I guess I'd say more triple changers, maybe we'd see Springer that way.

I doubt the Robot designs will change.

Unicron would be pretty sweet, but I really don't know how that would work. The Dinobots too for that matter

Love them or hate them, I think the human elements is necessary.

Megan Fox content...meh, I don't mind her character, but i don't sit there and drool over her either.

I like Michael Bay...

Mudflap and Skids weren't that bad.

I'm not too savvy on Omega Supreme or Gestalts besides Devastator, so no comment I suppose.

Except for the last two points.

Sideswipe and Sunstreaker would've been better as the movie twins.

And I'd rather not have any more gestalts if they're gonna resemble movie Devastator. Dude's butt-ugly.

are there any serious QC issues, like stuff that break by just looking at them or floppiness out of the box??

My goodness! That's downright beautiful. The only downside is the big scale differences.

Personally, I like the Spiderman and Friends cartoon (friends = Firestorm and Iceman)
