RD Blade

Haven't noticed that problem yet.

I did have what seemed to be a lag issue with online play. The character pics VS. screen stayed on for 30 seconds longer than normal.

Lucky you...all I can find is an army of Oil Slicks. Okay, they did have two Roadbuster Ultra Magnus figures, but I just don't find the repaint very flattering.

Yep. They should've gotten rid of the blue parts altogether. I.E. gone full Roadbuster.

Does someone know something I don't? Has madCatz suddenly started putting out quality products? A couple years ago I'd have rather had my junk bitten off by a rabid wolverine than purchase any peripheral made by Madcatz, 175 bucks for a used arcade stick?

Nope. I've heard of some people having probs with their 6 button gamepad. But Madcatz seems to be the only game in town as far as putting out a Street Fighter friendly controller. That doesn't give them much motivation to improve on their quality, does it?

I think what we're seeing with those crazy Ebay prices is simply mob mentality at its finest. In a couple weeks, the supply will surpass the demand and a few price gougers will have more controllers than they can unload.

I just unlocked Dan last night. Pink outfit be damned, he's a badass!

Great game. I've been playing it against friends non-stop.

My only gripe with it is the very limited online features.

Only 2 people per lobby and no one can spectate. The game would've really benefitted from being able to accomodate large groups of folks waiting for their turn to fight the winner. It would have gone a long way toward simulating the arcade experience of putting your "I got next" quarter on the edge of the screen.

Ah...gotcha.

how about some Zeorymer? it's a god mech that's powered by rape.

It rapes the pilot? If so I'd like the scumbag that stole my car to take that mech for a spin.

Which is quite disappointing. This supposed prototype looks to be far better than the 1/8. It even has complete and detailed verniers (an important and sadly neglected area on the 1/8.

Pardon my ignorance...but what's a vernier?

Thanks for the fix idea RD Blade, that worked like a charm.

Cool! Don't mention it.

maybe they'll sell a stand alone Robot Prime and Robot Jetfire that combine but don't turn into a truck and a plane individually?

Pete

That scary thing is that's not much of a stretch.

So, anybody like the F-35 guy, Breakaway? The fact his face is inside his cockpit amuses me.

He must be Wheelie's cousin.

They have Rampage on the first page second row and Demolisher on page 3.

Ah, thanks... Missed Rampage the first time. But Demolisher...I wasn't sure if he's a part of Dev or a standalone...err...unicycle.

Devastators components have bot modes. One is seen in the trailer for the movie, and there are shots of the bot modes for each component floating around.

Edit: Here's a link with some official images from the movie figs: http://www.seibertron.com/events/gallery.php?event_id=105

No bot modes in that link. But I hope you're right. Not many folks would buy a truck that transforms into a foot.

the helmeted head just flops around in the neck socket, it's strong enough to hold it in but otherwise it's useless. what can I do to fix this problem?

A member here posted a pic of his solution. He put a small piece of Scotch Tape on the ball joint.

I'm sorely disappointed with Devastator. Not just his appearance, but also that the vehicles forming him don't have bot modes. That deviates from the TF definition of the word "combiner", I think.

Of course, this is all assuming that the info I've seen is accurate.

Where do I sign?

Most likely on the bottom of a $5000 check.

For the Cyclone Appendix 1; One armored Invid Scout, 2 headless Scott/Rand helmets, 2 sets of saddlebags, a fake campfire to scale with an led light inside like the one in the visor of the MPC VF-1s.

For Appendix 2; Lunk and Annie figures, Lancer and Rook's helmets and saddlebags, the machine gun Annie unloads in episode 2 and the big gun Lunk gets in episode 7.

(sorry I used RB names here)

Oh - and neck plugs for any figures released with a big holes in their gizzard's . . .

Jeez... For a second I thought this was inside information.

i prefer Encore too, for the following reasons:

-durability

-quality of plastic

-rubber tires

-die cast

-big fists that can actually hold accessories

-chrome

-correct length smokestacks

-correct colors

-stickers!

^ Almost everything he said.

I'd also like to add that I love the Classics/Universe/Henkei line as well, for the following reasons:

• durability
• posability
• G1 nods (i.e. Rodimus' hand saw)
• stickers not needed
• more toon-accurate bot modes
• complex transformations

If they ever do a perfect blend of these two lists...

Who am I kidding? I buy most of them anyway.

That's a boring Scarlett fig. Hopefully there'll be the 'armor' one later.

Scarlet who?

I was tempted to go with Dangaioh, but I'd rather have a one man machine.

Definitely the Alpha / Legioss. It includes a Ride Armor by default.

I've seen that spokesman before. Is there anything Billy Mays isn't hocking?

Got my parts yesterday. Nice work on Overdrive's end.

The same was said about Transformers. In the end, the changes didn't really matter. Something about live action movies makes them easily dismissed by longtime fans.

I wish he wasnt so yellow.

True. The character was meant to be Hot Rod (sans name due to legal reasons), wasn't he? Why wasn't he given Hot Rod's color scheme. Yellow's really hard to pull off. Even on a great mold.

His license plate says "JAAM"! I was going to pass on him like I did Cheetor, since I really only want the G1/Classics Universe toys, but if Wal-Mart's still selling them for $7.77 when Hot Shot hits shelves, they might have just sold me with JAAM.

The $7.77 seems to only apply to old stock. Picked up Hound there for $10. Meanwhile, Acid Storm was sitting next to him for $7.77.
