    Yup. Huge missed opportunity. Still not sure if I'm keeping my UM PO.

    Your'e kind of defeating your own point. The comics didn't even TRY to be consistent, so why call it canon. They had a guy filling in backstory as they went to justify bringing in the new toy lines, and that's about the extent of it. A guy wasn't sitting around dreaming up these forms and writing these comics on his own. A Hasbro exe saw some toys at a toy expo and said, "lets bring these over and hire these bozos to make it make sense." Toys came first As for why it Saber looks like maguns.. Idk. The same reason Optimus primes face looks like a Gundam. It's just shorthand for hero Mechs. Some symbols and styles just keep getting repeated.

    Awesome man.

    Sweet stuff

    I don't see how every re-issue has been a flood of product, yet Ozma doesn't make the cut. I'm sure more will open up everywhere.

    Because he's Saber, and he's chilling haha

    Great choices

    Jenius reviewed it. Looks like it was a fairly solid release. Only difference he could find was a slightly lighter logo on the doors and a bit of arm looseness. Wheeljack payments will probably hit late next week. Update of sabers paint job. Looks really good.

    Works for me.

    Idk, maybe the comics came out first before the toys were actually released, but the toy lines in japan existed before the comics. Hasbro had to get them ready and repackage them, but they were still first. I didn't start reading comics until I stopped playing with Transformers. It was just a different age group. I think I was 9 or 10 before I really got into comics and I was already putting down transformers and toys in general. It's all revisionists because it wasn't based off any singular work.

    The show was a commercial for several toy lines, mashed together and given a vague and working back story by marvel comics. And even they didn't care enough to make it consistent. Taking any of it that seriously is futile. Transformers are purely a personal and changing experience. But if you asked me the toys came first. Always did. So they are canon. Then the show, then the comics. Even with TF the movie, they wrote the script to make way for new toys. Prime died to sell you shitty blur toys. Keep that in mind the next time you roll out your twin twist.

    Exhaust looks so sexy.
  14. Gakken85
    Cool. How's he holding up?

    Yeah, It reminds me of that too. Kind of a bleed over into SOC/SRC super robot territory ... obviously since it's japanese. Idk, as I've said before, it's a bulky space shuttle, (with nods to Genesis climber) with a jet ( thats the size of a autobot car) and then all the fun of a powermaster/headmaster slight combiner. (Transformer G1 elements) So much to love here in terms of display, transformation, and fun. For $150 bucks it's the most intericate MP yet, but designed by a guy who is in love with the original. I love the idea of that much cross pollination. I love SOC/SRC and super robots and obviously victory has that style bleeding into the Transformers world. It's a win/win. I really hope they do an all white box like the original to set it apart from the G1's. I think this guy, with Leo would be about the size of an MP combiner, assuming the MP cars would be the default combiner limb size. So that scale is doable.

    Haters gonna hate. Yeah there are so many gundams... but the original ones were fairly simple. Def. invokes that style
  17. Gakken85
    But you will become a fan of, and when Victory Leo comes out you'll be super stoked and all the kids will be jealous. V. V. Viccctorrrrrrry.

    I bet more people have played the video game than seen the original SDF macross show.

    ?????

    I let myself down, and the team.

    Felt sick last night. Barely got any sleep. haha. Thanks, got two of each. Can't beat that price on Exhaust. 2 spacebricks at TF source is $340 shipped. 2 at HLJ is $280 before shipping. Might come out about 10 bucks cheaper after shipping, even if I don't bundle it with other stuff. Exhaust is the same month so he can tag alone for free mostly.

    Why would a trooper that mostly fights in space need camo? White would probably work in the decking of a ship. If they go down to a planet they can get a poncho or something.
  23. Gakken85
    Get a good deal?
  24. Gakken85
    Haha. He is the terror in the night!! Very sweet indeed.
  25. Gakken85
    Thanks bud. He looks great in Bat mode.
