Well, it's come and gone and some people hardly even noticed! Yes, BOTCON is now over! SOOOOO......Are you happy? Sad? Indifferent? Did you see the figures you were hoping to see? Disappointed about what you didn't see? Let it all out here! I always look forward to new figure presentations at the major conventions. However I was most disappointed with Botcon this year. Though not surprised, as I stated in other threads I expected as much. There were a few highlights...Cyberverse Shockwave, Ult. Prime, Prime figs, but really not a whole bunch that we didn't know was coming, and there wasn't any news that was really all that "OMF…

Okay, so Everyone got sick and fed up with Drift related to G1. Because of his over the top Japanese and blatant generic-ness that we all pretty much had as an OC transformer when we were younger and probably regret thinking up. But this is Shattered Glass Drift we'll be talking about as well as making guess as to what his bio might be, As to my guess. Drift is the best Levi-train bandit on Cybertron, Or so he'd like everyone to think that. Sadly he has never managed to rob any of the trains he sticks up, instead he's simply given the valuables by adoring fans. Which frankly ticks him off. He joined the Autobots to Dirty his formerly good name of Deadlock and being si…

To anyone that has Mudflap. Mine has an unusual feature, but it doesn't look like it might not have been completely unintentional, but it may have been a warped piece. The piece in his knee on his right leg bends inward, kind of giving him an awkward pose. Does anyone else have this problem, or is it just mine?

Does anyone have a picture of the Twintwist Leadfoot 2-pack target exclusive? I can't find it on the main site and would like to see it.

Back on TFW2005 the people there began to keep track of Crankcases and who were clipped, and who weren't. There are lot numbers on the back of cards, all right next to the paramount logo on the back. Here's a list for Crankcase lot numbers and the last kept numbers of which had intact fingers, and how many of those lot numbers were clipped. Special Thanks to Galvatron Rage for keeping a record of this for a few weeks. 03641 - 1 Intact, 0 Cut 03651 - 15 Intact, 0 Cut 10131* - 22 Intact, 0 Cut *This number seems to be the "international" one, with locations like Canada, Australia, Chile and The Netherlands. 10191 - 1 Intact, 0 Cut (Scotland) 10321 - 1 Intact, 0 Cut…

My collection continues to grow, and my closet is needed for more important things (clothes, storage, etc...) so I threw out most if not all of the boxes I was holding on to. I chucked my 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime box, along with MP Grimlock and Walmart Starscream as well as Alternators Smokescreen and Sideswipes boxes. Part of me felt bad to do it, but at the same time it was liberating. It feels good not to hold onto so much clutter. DO you guys keep your boxes/packages as well? I held onto them for no real reason, I don't ever see myself selling any of these guys, and the way MP Grimlocks packaging was setup, it was such aa pain to get him back into the box. I…

Anyone know where I can find a Universe Starscream for less than $80 bucks? Not too thrilled over the bling on the Henkei version but trying to find one for less than $30-40 dollahs has left me feeling bluer than Thundercracker without a propperly colored squadron leader. The Classics colors are sooo bland. Any places on the interweb to send me to or dark alleys where someone is selling him out of a truck may and will be appreciated! ^_^

Hi guys, It's been 4 years but I've finally found the opportunity and enthusiasm to write for TF-1 again, so I decided to start with an item I've had for a while but has great personal significance, the Joustra Diaclone F15. I've done some writing for Sony, Playstation and GT Academy so hopefully I'm not too out of practice :) I hope you enjoy the read: Article joustraf15 All the best Maz

Ok , I know that the prices for TF's have gone up a bit recently. But Over here (Belgium) its getting pretty crazy. Before, the prizes over here where as follows: *Deluxe: around 15 Euros (21,5 USD) *Voyager: Around 25 Euros (36 USD) *Leader: Around 45 Euros (65 USD) But, since the DOTM release, prizes have gone up (by a lot): *Deluxe: 20 Euros (29 USD) *Voyager: 36 Euros (52 USD) *Leader: 70 Euros (101 USD) This is really messing up my budget. In fact , its so bad that I can get voyager and leader figures (including shipping costs) a bit cheaper if I buy them from American sellers on Ebay! So I'd like to know if this is the case in other European countrie…

I picked up these two at a yard sale for $.50 a piece. They are in great condition aside from a little paint missing on the hook of the crane truck. What I want to know is who they are and what series they are from. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
