Toys

Everyone here seems to be madly in love with the Alternators and Binaltech. Personally I think that they are good enough toys, but I don't love them that much. I prefer energon waaay over alternators. I have alty smokescreen and he is decent, but I find him a bit boring. His joints are way too stiff and it is quite a job to pose him well and he feels flimsy. Even after playing with a binaltech those feel flimsy too. Maybe its only Smokescreen, but I find him a bit 'Bleh'. That said I am looking forward to any decepticon alts as the Sideswipe mold seems much more solid.

I was browsing blindly through Snakas site (i can't read anything but english for the life of me... lol), and came across a picture of the Worlds Smallest Magnus, Prowl, Bluestreak, Red alert, and Jazz, all placed around a Ultra Mags trailer in scale to the rest... this was the first i'd heard about an actual Ultra Mags trailer, so here's the picture I snagged from Snakas' site. All credit of course goes to Snakas

now weve been getting many homages lately, but not always named after what their mold would have you beleive. sometimes its obvious, sometimes its subtle. the subtle ones are really just a matter of prefference for me anyways. heres a few that ive done. e bulkhead- springer e dreadwing- scourge cyb longrack- hauler shockblast- shockwave armada powerlinx (brown) thrust- dirge cyb galvatron- megatron cyb megatron- gigatron (i think if megs had a brother, thatd be his name) e prowl- mirage u inferno- red alert thats all i can think of right now.

Um, That Armada green construction truck thing. I thought I would like him when I picked him up. Then I found out he was a B R I C K! And RID combiner Bruticus. He just plane sucked.

We all love the MP line. It may have had its share of hiccups along the way, namely MP-2, 3 and 4 in my opinion, but overall it's a quality line with great potential. So, while the answer is most likely going to be Prime/Convoy, I thought I'd start this poll so we can see just who everybody shines for. Personally, I can't decide between MP-5 and MP-1, they're both great figures. But I think I'll vote Prime because of his extra articulation. Oh, and the USA Edition Starscream refers to the Wal-Mart exclusive, not Takara's release.

Who here owns some? What do you think about them? I only have Megatron and he is great. I was thinking about getting Optimus Prime with his Trailer and some other ones. I see that Thundercracker is REALLY rare. Some guy on ebay wants $50 for him. I also see BumbleBee, is he super rare too, cause I've only seen one of him. Also what are the wave class's? I see that there is a 2.5 Wave or something like that?

I know I'm gonna get the crap flamed out of me for this, but it's been stewing inside for a while, and I find doing things like this once in a while is easier than paying for a therapist 15 years from now when I breakdown and attempt to kill someone. Would all the people out there quit their whinging that this toy or that toy isn't "G1" enough. Christ I'm sick of people saying that "the G1 toy was better" or "they should stick more closely to the original" or any of that crap. First off, for the most part, even G1 didn't look like G1. Ugly, disproportionate bricks was what they more closely resembled. And they were fantastic. You know why? Because we were kids. H…

After looking over the pics from botcon showing off the new cross over between Transformers and star wars, I went on to read some reviews of what people thought about them and found a general consenseus that they were not very well liked. Now like every line there are a few that stand out, and in this case its General Grevious. This toy does both the alt mode and the robot mode justice and gives the best representation of the character it is supposed to portray. I will be picking up Grevious. As for the rest, the X-wing is just hidious, but with a head swap, some paint apps and a little detaling it would make a pretty good Jetfire. The Darth Bomber i…

The title of this topic is self explanatory. Are there any TF's that it seems only have one fan, you?
