Veritas Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 (edited) there is also a limited edition orange seeker jet. sunfire, sunstorm,? 383053[/snapback] Sunstorm. http://oneshallstand.com/2002-04/images/g1v3_issue2.jpg He played a very large role in the first six issues of the Dreamwave Comic's Third G1 Series before it was canceled. Def. worth checking out. It's a great read with an awesome storyline IMO. SPOILER Sunstorm ends up fighting Jetfire (Skyfire) a number of times throughout his run in the series.

GobotFool Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 TFs were my first love before Macross, and Thundercracker was my first Decepticon. MP-04 Thundercracker ... that would make my year. 383006[/snapback] while not my 1st transformer ever, thundercraker was my 1st seeker, so he also holds a special place in my heart.

David Hingtgen Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Thundercracker was certainly my first Decepticon, and might have even been before Sideswipe for first TF ever. He's the only TF I have on permanent display. Thundercracker is my all-time fave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fit For Natalie Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Where there any old TF videogames on the 16-bit or 32-bit consoles cuz I only there is for the Jap NES. 382962[/snapback] Famicom (NES): Mystery of Comvoy (crap game, misspelt and all) Playstation and PC: Beast Wars (crap game) Playsatation and Nintendo 64: Beast Wars: Transmetals (has voices of most of the cast) Playstation 2: Transformers G1 Tatakai (Somehow, a PSOne game from 1996 managed to teleport into 2003 and become a PS2 game. Awful). Playstation 2: Transformers (Based upon Armada, quite a good, if somewhat simple shoot-em up style game. Great graphics. Beloved by the gaming press.)

David Hingtgen Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Sundown--then how's this? I went through 3 of each I think. Sideswipe---kept breaking the doors off the arms, Dad could only superglue them back on so many times. Thundercracker--I don't really know what happened, but I went through 3 of him, too. I distinctly remember the last one being one of those that you could mail away for with robot points, after he was gone from the shelves. Now, if you needed 3 of each due to wear/loss/replacements, THAT'd be scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eriku Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Yeah, apparently the demand for THS G1 Convoy has been insane and a lot of stores have had to cancel over half of their preorders. I ordered from BBTS in December, so i'm hoping I can still get one. Take a look at Ebay and you'll get an idea of the demand. In a matter of hours the price for him went from $50 to $180.

Now, if you needed 3 of each due to wear/loss/replacements, THAT'd be scary. 383549[/snapback] Well, I can't say I owned three, but I did manage to break both of them and then never found a replacement. One of Thundercracker's wings broke off in a dropping-on-cement mishap-- and now I think about it, I might not have broken sideswipe. I might have just traded it away like the dumb kid I was. I think I managed to get an Optimus Prime for that one-winged Thundercracker though. But I remember the good toys being impossible to find after a little while, and I never was able to get another Swideswipe until now. It doesn't make any sense to me now how they could make toys that kids want badly, then leave existing demand unsatisfied even many months afterwards. Instead, they just moved onto weirder and uglier versions. Same experience with G.I. Joes. There was a time where all the good toys were widely available. Then they'd all dissapear, only to be replaced with rows and rows of that Zartan chick or some other figure no one wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i remember i think he might even be one of the easier to find chases from the second series of WST. He's still a chase though i think, so you'll probably end up paying more than the price you would for some of the more run of the mill guys.

Eazy D Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 If anyone has already got their hands on one of the HBS-02 primes could they give me the low down on what the stability of the bot is like when it's put into all those crazy poses. It definitely seems more poseable than the masterpiece prime but I'm just wondering whether those poses are stable. BTW - anyone know any good sites that have toy reviews for the thing?

HoveringCheesecake Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) Guys, I'm confused. What is the difference between the Masterpiece and the hybrid? If I'm only buying one - which should I get? I still have my (late, I think) G1 Optimus. *drool* Edited March 27, 2006 by meh_cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radd Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 The Masterpiece Convoy came out a couple of years ago now. It's a pretty big toy, at least 12 inches tall. It was released in the U.S. by Hasbro as the 20th Anniversary Prime. It doesn't come with a trailer, but now there are a couple unnofficial MPC trailers you can buy. The Hybrid Convoy is designed by Shoji Kawamori. It's very tiny, not even as tall as the original Prime toy (and the original was only, what? 5-6 inches?). Verty detailed for such a tiny toy, very articulated, moreso than the Masterpiece toy it would seem. It comes complete with a trailer and roller (the little, 6-wheeled cart that came with the original). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
