eugimon Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 oh lordy that's a bit rude now isn't it? let the man be, this here ain't GrammarWorld. and as long as we're being all anal about this; we capitalize the first word of our sentences don't we now? 341418[/snapback] There is nothing "rude" about correcting someone's mistakes. It is all in how you do it, and he did a fine job. No capitalization is sloppy, but using the wrong word changes the meaning of a statement. You don't have to be on a grammar forum to care about using the right words. 341428[/snapback] calling someone out in public for something so spectacularly inconsequential to the conversation at hand is rude. It wouldn't pass if this were a conversation with people standing around in front of one another and it's not as if his use of those words were so confusing as to make his post unintelligible. This was just calling out somebody in public for no particular reason. If you have reason to correct someone because of the way they use the language, be a dear and send them a PM... just like if you were in person you would take the person aside and not point out the mistake in front of everyone.

This used to be the only place I ever saw the more popular reissues (Prime, Seekers, Hot Rod, etc). I think the fact that this store's prices are higher than the rest of the chain may have had something to so with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Hey guys head on over to tfw2005's frontpage, they got a pic of pepsi prime and I actually think he looks cool! Very nice touch. They also have pics of takara's remolded optimus primal and megatron for beast wars 10th anniversary, those who went to botcon say these are NOT the entirely new mold dlx primal and megatron hasbro is slated to put out over here for the 10th anniversary.

dr_vandermeer Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Yeah, truck mode is pretty much ass, but that's the sacrifice to have a better looking OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radd Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I'd rather Prime were at least as big as the original G1 Prime. If he were the size of Lazer Prime/Black Convoy/Scourge, that would have been great, I'm digging the Scion, though. I think it looks excellent. I really need to start collecting Altenators again, but almost none of the local stores carry them and I've been spending all my money on DS games. Ack...and the holidays are coming up, oh well, always early next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpaw Samurai Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I don't mind how 'fat' this Optimus looks. This time around he actually has sort of a typical big, beefy guy 'v' shape torso as opposed to most versions where he's got almost a feminine figure with a big chest, small waist, and large hips. Granted, we're applying human body structure to a robot, but it's a robot in humanoid shape. In some ways, the cab mode is potentially worse than the MP Prime, in my opinion. I remains to be seen how well the final one holds together, but that wheel gap isn't something that will go away.... It would almost be nice to get a REAL Optimus Prime Alternator (not that one we've seen prototypes for)...one where they start with the cab mode and figure out how to make him look a little better than the old G1 version in robot mode as opposed to making a cool robot and then going 'Shoot! We almost forgot he has to transform!'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoBe-Patt Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 well sacrifices have to be made in order to make a detailed optimus that's hella small. This should be the same size as the HBS GF Prime. That's what my guess is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
