I`m not sure if this has been addressed or if anyone actually gives a flying turd, but here goes. Not trying to stir up anything but does anybody else see any resemblence to the so called Alt/Bt Grimlock mold and this pic of G1 Getaway? Could this have actually been intended to be Getaway, and knowing that he is not that popular a character and changed to Grimlock. But then we who collect Binaltechs will recieve Overdrive who also is not that popular a character. Who knows. Anyway, the similarities are damn close. The transformation, the doors, the legs and especially the head! I also posted this in a related thread a bit too late and doubt anyone saw it. So I`ll…

Merry Christmas all! Well I got Jazz recently in a trade (but close enough to Christmas that it's like a present - thx GenerationZero!). Of course, like many of yours, the right arm fell off because I looked at it too hard. I had an idea and fixed it. It's not "pretty", but here goes... I rolled a twist tie up over and over, like a super thin poster, till I had a flat little wad of paper covered wire. Then I shoved it i the slot of the arms connecting peg, and shaved off the extra. It forces the peg to expand. Then you pop it back in the shoulder hole where it stays, very securely. The shoulder receptical hole that the peg goes into regulates the peg from expandin…

This time last year, I was deployed to the Middle East in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I waited all season long for the day I would get to return to my friends, family, and hobby. This year, it's not easy for me to forget that there are still friends, family, and neighbors living across the ocean doing what has to be done. I wish them a fast and safe return and I hope their family cherishes them when they finally do come home. These folks put it all on the line to protect our rights and freedoms, such as freedom of speech (we all like that one.) Here's to all of you brave men and women who fight the good fight. Thank you. Chris AutobotMaximal BTW, that co…

So I got my Superlink Superion and Bruticus today in the mail. Christmas present for myself! Anyways, Bruticus came with 5 energon stars (one for each guy) but Superion only came with 4. Now, in the Bruticus package, 4 stars were packaged separately from the 4 little guys while the star for the big middle guy came already attached to him (as you can see I don't remember the names of the guys and I believe they changed the names of some of the guys from G1 anyways). In the Superion package, 4 stars were again packaged separately for the little guys but there was none attached to the big middle guy. Am I missing one? I'm assuming yes. For those who have superlink Sup…

Can somebody please post a pic of SL Wheeljacks bio card? I just want the CGI pic of him on it. I tried searching but couldn't find anything. Any help is appreciated.

Post your hauls for this week. No need to repost what has already been posted in the other thread. :) Merry Christmas!

the 1st batch of Meister the steering wheel was molded wrong, has Hasbro since corrected this issue??

So far I've found the Optimus/Megatron set @ TRU, and Ironhide/Jetfire @ Walmart (on a side note, I've heard that you may get lucky & find Mirage in this situation). I've think I heard about Scorponok/Landmine, but I can't verfiy. Any other value packs out there?

Just in from the Takara Predaking reissue It's an ehobby box, so it's not numbered. The Predaking reissue set is metal. Razorclaw,Divebomb,Rampage have metal on the waist area. Headstrong has metal on his whole back. I can't get the guy to stand right. I dunno if it's cause his back being heavy. Which he can't stand straight as he falls back. I wonder if the all plastic Headstrong has that same issue. Tantrum both his chest and rear have metal. Also when I form predaking, when I try to move the arms. They fall off. Dunno if it's cause of the weight of the metal. The box also brings a check list of G1 takara reissues that have been released already , and the Alternator l…

Since the kittyvette is real any g1 bot can possibly get the up(down)grade. I hope that percepter never gets the BT/Alt treatment, where I can see a boombox becoming a pimped out suv (its a stretch) I dont ever see a need to turn a microscope into a car. what are your picks
