  1. Those elevator shoes on MP Grimlock look plain dumb, there's no way I'd be slapping those clod kickers on my MP-08. I think they look even worse on his back. If that's FT's solution to keep Grimmy taller, then it's probably too late to hope that they would shrink down their Slag. That being said, FT's Slag looks cool, and I wouldn't it being a little taller than Grimmy.
  2. I have no clue. Perhaps a Macross Frontier track? So about video game music, Taito fans should check this out-it's ZUNTATA rockin' out live with a killer shamisen solo:
  3. Finally got MP Prowl ($60 shipped with the launcher-not too bad!). He's great, really makes the G1 fanboy in me squeal with glee. The only thing I had an issue with is the thick layer of white paint on his head; it's not evenly applied and results in a bump on his forehead. Despite that, it's a wonderful toy and gives me a lot of faith in the upcoming MPs.
  4. Sideshow Toys now has my full attention: "Call Me Snake."
  5. Yeah, and it makes for a killer toy. It's definitely not lineart accurate compared to Figueroa's design, but it's close enough. I know a group called Master Collectables made a far more accurate version of Nova Prime, but it was more expensive and only a few actually made it to production. As far as MMC's version is concerned, rumor has it that it may not even be made.
  6. Finally got some time to take a few pics of HyperNovae. Once I made sense of the transformation and got everything to lock together, it's a pretty solid toy. Paint apps are neat, plastic quality is superb and the material feels durable. Needless to say, with the wings on it gets top heavy, but I was able to get it to stand on its own in that fourth pic. Included were transparent orange parts that can be inserted into the wing recesses, but I haven't put them on yet. Also included were silver stickers that may be used instead of the orange parts. I still don't know if I should the stickers, the orangey bits, or both .
  7. Kawamori himself designed that thing. Despite the less than stellar alt mode, it's a pretty cool toy for its size.
  8. Need hot blooded motivation with a Japanese flavor? There's always the legend himself, Hotei Tomayasu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkIMBCKnSdw He's quite the talent, and do check out the translation.
  9. I see your Stan Bush, and raise you ANOTHER Stan Bush! When throwing that Dim Mak to a pit fighter's nuts, only one song should be coursing through your body: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYLOGDT4VEk This song always helps on the long drives home: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKhfkfnbAMQ
  10. A few motivational songs. Love this guy: Good ol' Cheap Trick (and Tomcat porn!): More proof that Parker and Stone are lyrical geniuses:
  11. A tall order: U.S. military wants a T.A.L.O.S.
  12. Mine is this one; unashamedly sweet and syrupy: Since we're dealing with this era, here is my favorite rendition of THIS song; Sumner sings in a slightly more melodramatic fashion compared to the album cut:
  13. Sad news indeed, and he was only 66 years old. His books kept me company all those years ago when I was waiting to be picked up from school at the library. Many thanks Mr. Clancy.
  14. They can if TakaTomy never makes updated combiners, or an Arcee, or updated Shockwave, etc. I just wonder if MP Magnus will stick with the G1 formula of having a white Prime "core" or none at all. Heh, now this rejected storyboard from the movie can be recreated: Nevermind, we still don't have a MP Tracks .
  15. Dang, if it's gonna be anything to close to that artwork, it'll look so much better than any of the 3rd party offerings.
  16. I already bought one straight from Maketoys' website for slightly less than TFSource, and it arrived fairly quickly. I'd love to tinker around with it and take pics, but I'm still on vacation. My initial impression is that it looks exactly like the promo shots and it feels solid. What surprised me is that there is actually a "core" bot which is essentially a retooled RTS Prime. When I get back, I'll have to take some pics.
  17. They've also opened for Depeche Mode, which must be quite an honor. This is them doing the Game of Thrones theme :
  18. Like the 80's pop and electro/synth with a dark twist? Check out CHVRCHES, I'm really liking their sound:
  19. I think I'm warming up to FJ Prime. (The non-RC one, mind you) I like the sculpt, but if TakaTomy is gonna sell it as Prime, they could've at least made it in red and blue. Alternity Prime was in red, why not have the same thing for this FJ? I could easily see it as being some other rugged Autobot though, Roadbuster perhaps?
  20. Maketoys is now taking orders for their Nova Prime at their website. I'm still on the fence with this one considering the price, but it is pretty...
  21. There's no school like the old school. Still kicking myself for missing out on these beauties.
