    AmiAmi still have it. That's where I got mine from.

    The same thing happened to me with Cheetor. I emailed them but have yet to receive a reply it hopefully it's the same as you.

    Whats going on there with your OpOp's chest cannons? They're not sticking out awkwardly! edit: looking closer, it's pretty heavily modded. Looks great. But I you've removed the wheels off his back so no tank mode?

    I suppose it's better than being in the left foot

    It's showing Preorders closed for me. Damn.

    The Bluestreak mould had a great bot mode. But it all went down hill from there.

    Yeah, that black lion looks ace.

    I wish I'd gone in on that Megaman and got the Kickstarter exclusive colour. But yeah, hopefully we get something up around high MMC quality. If so I'll be very happy.

    I'm in for one of the bikes+riders. Can't really afford more but if they hit that Keneda stretch goal I'll find the money somehow!

    Show us the toys dammit!

    I disagree. I think the Hasbro Computon is an awesome effort. Takara's looks great too and is pretty cartoon accurate but at least the Hasbro version has decent looking hands and feet. Not those god awful hand-foot guns. I also like the colour choices on the Hasbro version for departing from the original scheme. The pinky-red really pops.

    I have Buzzing, Unique Toys version of MP Blurr and its solid as. The transformation is relatively simple and intuitive and locks together well in both modes. Plastic is solid. I have some aesthetic gripes with it but I can't fault the fit and finish. I also have one of their earlier releases, a Sharky, and it's pretty crap. They have come a long way.

    I can get onboard with that list!

    Well, that's the great thing about opinions, they're allowed to be different. I own the Toyworld Astrotrain. I put the visor on mine to complete the toon look. It's a great Astrotrain, for a Classics/Chug collection. In no way do I see it as an MP in any way. And that's saying something because the prerequisites for what is admissible to my MP collections are pretty lax. The most obvious being that it's way too short. And DX9's Astrotrain isn't stubby, he just needs to be tall enough to accomodate enough headroom for Devastator, remember?

    I really hope the lions have a decent amount of posability. That was the issue I had with the Mad Toys version. Ideally outward leg movement for some wide stances and the ability for the heads to look up and down.

    I back mikeszekely. Marvel comic G2 Sideswipe is where it's at.

    Haven't watched the reviews, but I agree with you. The thing I liked about Classics back in the day is that it was, mostly, reimagined Tramsformers. The alt modes were different, the bot modes varied from G1 and gave us some great figures. Now it seems like the main goal is to be as G1 as possible and anything outside that box is almost unanimously panned. I love G1. I like that that is where the Masterpiece line is going. But chug I prefer to be a modern take just keeping a few design cues to enable us to recognise the character. It's 2016. Stop making Soundwave and Blaster Cassette players! TF: Prime did a good job with Soundwave there.

    He's fairly accurate, but a lot of compromises were made for the light/sound gimmick. His chest cannons aren't retractable and the battery pack means he has a huge ungainly backpack in bot mode which means from any angle other than directly front on, he looks dumb. His gorilla mode is excellent though and the jet mode is ok. Tank mode suffers the most overall.
  20. Silverstreak
    That was awesome.

    Yeah, Megatron scanned a baby T-Rex Tigatron was shown in the show as being bigger than Cheetor. I'm not saying that it won't happen, just that I'll be a bit disappointed if it is just a straight repaint with a new head. If they upsize it a bit, I'll be happy. What I really want though is a Masterpiece Optimal Optimus. Bring that on already!
  22. Silverstreak
    I thought I read on TFW that it was pegged on.
  23. Silverstreak
    Tigatron and Cheetor are different animals. This is like the whole MP Sunstreaker thing all over again with all the people going "Why haven't we got MP Sunstreaker yet? All they have to do is repaint Sideswipe yellow and do a new head!" Tigatron is a lot bigger than Cheetor. Cheetor is a cheetah. Tigatron is a tiger.

    Or will he jump in random directions to his death from extremely high objects?

    I really like Metalstorm. He invokes the same feelings I had for G1 Scattershot. My biggest issues with TFC have always been their colour choices/paint apps and their plastic finish. Paint apps/colours seems to have improved but I'm not sure about the plastic finish. I had Perseus and Uranos and the way they finsih their plastic was, to me, very cheap. It always reminded me of those cheap dollar store toys. I haven't bought a 3rd party combiner since Feral Rex. But I am watching their Piranacon closely.
