  1. Forget what I said about 3P Ratchet being better than Takaras van bots cause it's more expensive. Just saw Uranus's new gallery and it had a comparison of Ironhide standing next to Voodoo Salus and it completely blows Salus out of the water imo. http://robotjapan.proboards.com/thread/23580/mp-27-ironhide?page=5 A mod if you don't like the hip kibble. http://tfnd.net/xf/index.php?threads%2Ftakaratomy-masterpiece-mp-27-ironhide.36619%2F#post-318841
  2. NY has both MP Tracks and MP Road Rage on sale right now. About $10 cheaper than normal.
  3. Some of them are but the price point of 3P's are much higher then the official stuff. For instance using TFSource, MP Ratchet is ~$90usd while Voodoo Salus is $120usd. HLJ = ~$66 for MP Ratchet. For a $30=$$54 difference it better be better, you can almost buy another Takara MP for that, but alot of the time they deviate just enough that it is not the perfect MP is should be.
  4. Quick impression of both straight out of the box. MT Visualizer got a cool holographic chest and fun and posable straight out if the box. No worries putting him through his paces. FT Spotter looks great but goddamn he needs more testing by FT. Limbs are all over tightened so you can barely move them and the side skirts are scary tight because of the plastic shape choices FT made. After reading up at TFW2005 i spent a good hour sanding down plastic so the skirts wont stress and snap off. So far MT is the better toy. Next test will be transforming both into Camera. I'll deal with that during the weekend.
  5. Ya. Read that too. I think I'm going to stick with sunsurge. My MPs are mostly displayed in bot mode and i usually don't display the back of alt mode. I like my bots more toon accurate than toy accurate and having rewatched the original mini series Sunstreaker does not have that giant chest that Spinout has and also isn't taller than Sideswipe. Yes I'm including the height of the airintakes in bot mode. Sunsurge will be a good standin until HasTaks offering. Now onto Reflector Wars! Keeping both but its time for me to unbox FT Spotter to compare to MT Visualizer!
  6. Nice. I still have the original Thunder Megazord but I'm interested in how articulated this Red Dragonzord is.
  7. My issue is MP is supposed to be accurate alt mode to accurate mostly accurate toon mode. BC doesn't do an accurate alt mode because of the back but the toon mode looks good. OG does an accurate alt, but a tad too small, but not an accurate toon mode, more like a accurate toy mode. This is the telling shot. Vehicle mode is smaller. Spinout is closer to the camera so should look slightly bigger if they're the same size in car mode. He's smaller. You may need a tfw2005 account to view it. http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-3rd-party-discussion/990117-omnigonix-v-01-spinout-mp-scaled-sunstreaker.html
  8. I have BC Sunsurge and I'm looking at OG's Spinout. I prefer BC Sunsurge for Bot mode since Sunstreaker is supposed to be a superior fighter and his colours are reminiscent to Bruce Lee's iconic yellow/black, therefore I've always thought of him as a lean mean fighter. Makes sense since a Lambo's a lean mean machine. OG's Spinout looks chunkier, like something out of Dreamwave comics or IDW stuff. I enjoy the comics but I'm not a fan of the look. The back looks cleaner than BC's but I really don't like the Countachs rear sticking out like that on the OG. Alt mode of OG though kicks BC's butt, right in the back end. Breaking it down Omnigonix Spinout: Pro: Alt mode is fantastic Bright Yellow paint Cleaner bot mode Con: Bot mode is fatter(Chest design?) Bot mode is much taller then Sideswipe. IMO They should be about even for twins. Intakes are ugly as f. Alt mode looks a tad shorter and smaller then MP Sideswipe Badcube Sunsurge Pro: Bot mode is lean and mean Car intakes are much nicer Alt mode scale matches Sideswipe More accessories Con: Alt mode backend is ugly Yellow should be brighter Bot mode: BC wins because of my reasons above. Alt mode: Definitely OG. Dilemma: Buy OG as well for the alt-mode or wait for HasTak to release a MP Sunstreaker that should looks great in both modes. Damn 1st World problems.
  9. Prequels stuff can wait. We NEED SW:TFA good guys. Kylo, Phasma and the stormtroopers are playing pattycakes with each other with no one to fight.
  10. I like him for his single episodes during RTD's run. Don't like/hate him as the show runner. Everything was always flail flail flail oops problem solved. He was good at hitting the high notes but his series never seemed to take a step back and have issues simmer for abit. Have to start watching Broadchurch now to see how the new show runners runs his shows.
  11. I'm doing the same-ish. If there's no rumour of MP and if I like the 3rd Party offering I'll get it. So far no rumour of Mirage so I got Sphinx(love it). Haven't heard of a rumour for Sunstreaker so I picked up Sunsurge(totally worth it). I don't believe that HasTak will ever do the dinobots so I'm getting the Gigapower ones since I prefer their asthetics to FanToys. Getting the FT Not Insecticons and Not Reflector. MP Hound though a silhouette of MP Hound did come out so there's a rumour that he's coming out soon. I would wait on purchasing 3P Willy or Gun Dog.
  12. MP Bumble Bee has shown up in TRU computers for........$65USD. Bwahahahahaha Next question: How big of a box are they going to use this time?
  13. Another pic of Blastoff. ....now excuse me while I open up not Sunstreaker.
  14. Devy. I posted a link for that price a few posts back. Oh yeah. My PE06 supplier says his supplier is shipping replacement parts for some "loose" parts in that set. Here's crossing my fingers I get new purple hands for free.
  15. UW Bruticus with shuttle and 4 bladed Vortex confirmed.
  16. I want a rematch between carter and that hydra woman.
  17. It was on last night? I'll watch it later.
  18. Tried to watch Cloverfield again but shaky cam made me nauseous and I just wanted to smack the characters. Thankfully this one doesn't seem to be shaky cam footage.
  19. Elbows and guns are one set. New cab, purple hands, better scoop, extending arm, Prowlestator head, and new shoulder are the other set.
  20. Future/Nail polish fixing on the wrists or something else? Not sure about the arm extenders. Looks great lifting the arms up for a more G1 look but the chest piece loses some pegging in points on the treads. Also the treads now dangle loosely. I may 3d print some kind of locking struts to fix that. Oh yeah, and Canadians looking for Devy, walmart.ca has him for $90cdn right now. http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/transformers-generations-combiner-wars-devastator-figure-set/6000193258501
  21. Picked up PE06 and 07 for Devastator. Completely fixes up his cub foot and the individual robot elbows. Could not care less about the Prowlevastator head. Purple Devy hands are nice but the ball joint wrist isn't strong enough to hold up Devastator gun. Currently drying after being dipped in some Future. Working excavator arms and shovels are a plus.
  22. Exclusive Deluxe Groove and shuttle Vortex wave!! Just like they did for Superion and Menasor. Now THATS a rumor.
  23. Rumoured by TCracker on TFW2005: MasterPiece "bad news - no carbots were announced and it it still kept under wraps. Here is the good news for BW fans. 1) MP Megatron 2) MP Cheetor 3) MP RatTrap" Yeeeeessssssss.
