Deadzone Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Anybody know the official release date of Grimlock in the United States? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GobotFool Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 so far meister has the best robot sculpt, and smoothest transformation of all the BT's. He is without a doubt the best one so far. Also diecast is smartly placed to reduce chipping. The only place I can see potential chipping problems are on the doors and thats only in opening and closing them in car mode.

Renato Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 That shoulder gun came from the 2004 WRX Smokescreen.EDIT: Hmm. That means there are holes for the guns on Meister? And if you have both 2004 Smokescreens.. you can have a Heavy-gun Meister? Take note that while there are holes in Meister's shoulders for the launcher, they are microscopically smaller than the ones on Smokescreen, so the rocket launcher doesn't actually fit perfectly. What's cooler than that is, if you notice his right arm in the photo, I found that you can actually place the handgun on his forearm, in either "stowed away" or "ready to fire" position. A bit like a VF-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solscud007 Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Im more concerned with what is in his left hand!!!! Is that a sword? if so then that is jsut awesome!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriku Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Damn, grimlock is looking better and better! I just wished I liked the new Mustangs a little better. I don't think they're terrible or anything, but there's just something a little too tame and domesticated about the design. Sort of contradicts the namesake. Anyway, has anyone seen how the sword stores on the underside? It's pretty clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoptimus Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Picked up Alt Meister yesterday. Hot damn is he cool. Much better than Tracks. Dont get me wrong I love Tracks but he is a pain to transform and not very posable. My quib with Meister is that I wish his arms were as posable as Sideswipe/Deadends. Other than that he is by far the nicest one. My favorites though are still the Subaru's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF-1Guy Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Best of BTs/Alternators According to Matt (I'm bored)... Best Robot Mode - Smokescreen (#1 varient, BT-08?) Best Car Mode - Deadend * Honorable Mention - Meister Best in terms of Fun Factor (transformation, poseabilty, can't-put-it-down-idness) Meister * Honorable Mention - Tracks (the missiles & wrist cannons are fun) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriku Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 I think Hound is still my favorite overall, although Streak and Meister are damn near tied with him. Really the only one I haven't been interested in is the Corvette, in any of it's incarnations. There's just something about the overall aesthetics of the bot mode that doesn't appeal to me.

UN Spacy Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 (edited) I like all my Binaltech's but now that I look at it Hound is nearly unposeable. His heavy chest puts quite a strain on the leg joints. So far Meister is my favorite of the bunch, he's such a great homage to Jazz (with a much easier transformation). I can't wait for Grimlock and Windcharger. Edited October 19, 2004 by UN Spacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichterX Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 (edited) Got a blue Tracks from Walmart, it is cool, its robot mode looks a lot more slim than Hound and Sideswipe. Meister is available on both colour in the USA or just white or just red? edited to add: Tracks could have really used ball joints at the feets...

Guppy Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 I know this is about 40 pages out of date, but I finally got BT Sideswipe and did the mod. I agree he looks 10 times better. I was a bit scared when I was cutting out the bit to make the boot swing up more.. I had visions of cutting off the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkfan Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 After scanning all 79 pages, I have a question that I couldn't find the answer for. Does anyone know if we can order replacement parts from Takara for Convoy? I'm getting a Hasbro Masterpiece Prime and would like to exchange the circumcised smoke stacks.

If you want one let me know I'll ask him if has anymore. The site is down so I can't show you how it looks like. It's really close to the original. It's just not as chromy as the original.

RichterX: So you got a Hasbro ALT tracks?!!!!! awesome cant wait to get him too. I had to do shopping at Walmart and went to check the toy section, I wasn't even planning to by any toys cause i am low in cash but I saw Tracks there at the top of the Alternators, it was the only one they had in display at that moment, the rest were something like 3 hounds and 4 Silvertreaks, I still want to get a Silverstreak. As I was saying Tracks looks robot mode looks great, he looks ready to kick some decepticon's butt only problem is leg articulation. Next time I go to Walmart I'll try to pick up a Silverstreak if I don't see a Meister. I am only buying Alternators. Does anyone have a detail guide on the the mod for Sideswipe? Also any one done the Dead End custom repaint to Sunstreaker? I think I saw sometime ago something like smoke stacks extensions for the Hasbro MP Prime. Any one knows where to get it?
