Toys

went to a couple of TRU's yesterday to see what was new( only found a couple of swerves) and I noticed that they didn't have the old "omega supreme vs. megatron" but they had something new. They had a supreme starscream vs. optimus prime display case, I saw this in all the TRU's I went to check out, :clap What I liked about it was that the bots were not mistransformed and they were actually in cool poses.

Well, I'm hyped and will definitely get Universe SE Dragstrip. But also wondering, what figures would suit to be Breakdown, Dead End, Wildrider & Motormaster. Mine is.. Dragstrip = Universe SE Dragstrip Breakdown = no idea. Dead End = no idea. Wildrider = Classics Hot Rod + repaint? Because chance of getting Gentei! Wildrider is little to none. Motormaster = I've made up my mind about him.. SDCC Nemesis Prime + Shadow Commander, and call him Motormaster. I never liked "Scourge/Nemesis" type of character, and everytime talks about "truck + trailer + black + Decepticon", my mind always refers to Motormaster, not Nemesis. ;) What's your picks?

As an adult collector, I don't actually "play" with my Transformers or other toys, but rather display them, admire their design and engineering, and modify them to work or look better. The recent line of Activators and Gravity Bots made me think that it might be fun to play a type of game with Transformers as follows. Two participants, each with a TF of choice, preferably one with a launching missile in robot mode. On "go", they begin transforming their robots and the first to shoot and hit the other wins. Of course, there would be no shenanigans like covering or hiding your bot. "Mano a mano", as they say, may the fastest Transformer win. You'd have to have…

How many people will use armada tidalwave with their energon figures? Since they are both Painted similar I was wondering how many people will just sub their armada tidawave for energon tidalwave. I just can't see buying another tidalwave that's so similar to the armada version.

http://www.tfu.info/1997/Cybertron/ClearCo...clearconvoy.htm I was toy shopping in Osaka and bought a Clear Optimus Primal MIB for $14. Apparently it was a TRU Japan exclusive in 1997. This thing is a actually disturbing. The beast form is basically a big albino gorilla. It has these wierd red eyes. I shudder when he looks at me.  :wtf The toy is cool because you can see all the gears and gadgets inside. It certainly one of the quirkiest TFs I have. (I'm still looking for the BW2 Tanooki TF, Heinlen).  Apparently there are also blue and red versions of him. I know he's a blast from the past. Any thoughts on this guy?

i was just wondering how the rest of you configure his arms, panels, and whatnot. this figure seems to have a lot of pieces and joints that you can configure whichever way you'd like. here are two ways that i display him.

have they released the giant planet map yet? and if so what characters does it come in? and if anyone has an extra one do they want to trade for a jungle planet or speed planet or earth?

Is there any difference between the robot modes of G1 Prime and G2 Prime (the regular one)? A friend of mine is attempting to sell me his G2 Prime saying "it is way different to my old prime", but the way he describes it it sounds precisely like G1 Prime... :wtf As I was aware of it the only difference between the two toys was the trailer, which was a different colour plus came with a voice box, and some extra weapons. Knowing my friend he probably has an Ultra Magnus in his hands right now........

Let me pose this question: Have you ever seen an Alternator or BT for sale at a model or hobby shop? Myself, I've been to over 2 dozen such locations in this state and have yet to see them sold outside of a toy outlet or department store and always in with action figures. What's your experience been?

TFC21 Broadcast begin to pre-order the price seems a little high :wtf TFC21
