I always assumed the second number in the scale ratio worked like this: However many Micromaster Roadhandlers it takes lined up end to end to create the same length of an actual Pontiac Firebird. Throw a " 1: " in front of that number and you've got your Micromaster scale.

Looks like the shoulders are under the cockpit.

Thanks for posting that, dude! I just bought Shockwave at full price on Saturday. Went to Target today and got $20 back!

Terra Force War for dominion over a distant planet erupts. Dropships launch Earth-issue military mechs to pacify any rowdy civilians. The Terra Force do not expect to encounter such heavy resistance as civilians armed with the latest in weaponry fire on the mechs, decimating the battalion. How did they acquire such weapons? It doesn't matter. We're supposed to be talking about me here. My story takes place months into the war. I've tried to stay neutral in the whole conflict...until I stumble across a badly damaged transformable mech/military vehicle. Having a natural knack for machines, I begin to restore it. One night, the mech gets stolen. During the search to retrieve my pride and joy, I unwittingly uncover a conspiracy along with the enormous secret that sparked this war to begin with. Oh... I find my modified mech, kill the thief and end up leading an army against my oppressors. This all takes place in the same universe as a story I've been writing. Edit: Forgot to give it a title.

Enjoy your 1/60. Best of luck to you. This addiction is more expensive than any drug out there.

Check the edit. Guess I got back to it a bit too late.

Well played, sir. Not sure if I fell for it seeing how I just came from a different April Fools thread. I think I just blew my own mind...a little bit.

Haha! I took a look at it. Doesn't look much different from the original Garland (part 1). My guess would be that it's the exact same design and that any differences are due to artistic license taken by the ingame artist. It does appear rather stylized in comparison. Edit: Also, if you want to save pics of it (and have access to image editing software), you can always just take a screen shot of each pic (press 'print screen', etc.) and go from there.

Toynami beats out Beagle for me. The opaque face shield, lower price tag and awesome packaging seals the deal. I have the Toynami Scott Bernard and MH Yellow. I don't have a CMs to make a practical comparison, but the vid reviews made it pretty clear that CMs aren't much fun to handle. I may find out for myself one day if I find one dirt cheap. As for the Megahouse: Aside from the lazy design aspects that resulted in parts-forming, it was a pretty decent first Ride Armor purchase. I even found a way to keep the fork on in its Armor configuration. Remove it, turn it 180 degrees, and reattach it. It fits right between the tires...and really doesn't look as weird as it sounds.

I'm one of the many that dislike it. It's far too cyber-punk for my liking, and I'm actually into that kinda stuff. The best part of it is the EX Garland, but you don't get to see much of it. The plot does offer some backstory connecting it to the first two, but it comes off as tacked on. The first two would have been better served if the third was a totally unrelated entity. That said, if this were the case, I sure wouldn't have it in my DVD collection.

It would've been wiser (not to mention more cost-effective) to simply release the machine gun and an improved link-up as an add-on kit for their existing Legioss/Tread.

Gobots had a decent Warthog bot. No hands on him, though. Bad Boy...

I passed on Powerglide mostly due to the screwed up color scheme. The points you brought up further affirm my decision.

If you're getting MP Megatron -awesome figure, by the way- I also recommend his accessory kit. The two leg armor pieces that come with it are die cast. They replace his existing plastic armor and give him quite a bit of heft. Of course, MP Optimus still greatly outweighs him.

Who? This guy? Granted, the individual Orbots are awful. But once merged, the big guy is pretty decent...albeit, blocky and simple.

That's something I'd love to see. Scratch that...I'd love to have.

It's hard to tell from the quick shots in the teaser. Everybody seems to be wearing black armor. They could've thrown a BAT into any of those shots and we'd be none the wiser.

I'll see your Gravity Wolf... and raise you a Zod!!

The laser tongue, however, completely negates that.

I'll definitely be picking up Sideswipe and Leader Optimus. Jetfire (even though his design is trash IMO) is a possibility solely because he combines with Prime.

Haven't seen it. Link?

LMAO!! That one of the main characters is played by a guy named Dingdong is funny enough for me!

I think the amount of views a thread gets trumps the number of replies. Personally, I've checked out those ride armor pics at least 3 times. Edit: Baad granmer

So was Arcee. And I'm worried that even her release will get the kibosh if the rumors be true.
