Its difficult to say what's "accurate" since Roadbuster was never shown in the G1 cartoon. I never liked the look of the original toy so I guess that's why I'm not really loyal to that version of RB. The Universe version could be bigger but other that it rocks to me. Not in the toon but he's been in plenty of comics. Thats what thats from, thats what he looks like in the fiction. Yeah. I read most of the comics with RB in it. I meant that usually there are some differences between how the figures look that acutally were in G1 compared to the comics. I usually tend to go by G1 standards for my updates of figures and that's probably why I can accept the figure the way it is. It's understandably not for eveyone though.

Please tell me you found this guy at retail. If so where. Been waiting for him to come back in stock at BBTS. Can't believe I'm fiending to pay $23.99 plus shipping for a scout. :doh -
Generations Wheeljack: One of the Gems of the whole line. A charachter who has never really seen that much love to this point gets a upgrade. Paint apps are great. Him being on the short side doesn't bother me at all since he's supposed to be a scientist and not a battle bot (That whole kick all decepticon ass Transformers Prime Wheeljack came way from left field to me). They even tightened up all the joints that were loose on Tracks. Only downside to the figure is that we've seen some kick ass customs using the Sideswipe/Sunstreaker mold and I kind of still think that mold may have fit Wheeljack better when retooled with the spoiler, bumper, and such. RTS Perceptor: Another excellent figure. Love the fact that this is the color scheme chosen for the US version. Plus it has chrome where its supposed to be. His alt mode doesn't really bother me so much since wasn't he a ATV type vehicle in Last Stand Of the Wreckers? (Correct me if I'm wrong.) Generations Thundercracker: What needs to be said about this guy? You already know it's awesome just to finally complete the seekers. Just like the rest of the Generations line lately the paint apps are spectacular. Even has a painted decepticon logo on his chest like Dirge. Downside? The rest of the seekers make my 25th Anniversary Starscream look like crap now. Thankfully I have a Henkei of him.

Thank the heavens for BBTS. Picked up Wheeljack, Thundercracker, and a second set of Kup and Scrourge. -

What state was this in? Please say NY. Maybe Long Island area. :) -
What's the fascination with little rat sized dogs now. Where did all the love for massive dogs like Labs, Akita's and Mastifs go? Cute little guy though. And is that American eagle he's wearing?

Darn u!!! I keep switching between the Energon and ROTF versions of Onslaught and finally decided that the Energon fit the G1 colors better. Now you go do this to me and bring up the debate in my head all over again. :tflaugh Will he stand on his own like that??? He's already back heavy as he his normally.

Ahhhhh.... The plastic crack fix is back After getting nothing in quite some time I picked up Generations Thrust and Drift today from the local TRU. A very pleasant surprise indeed. -
Absolutely! I third those statements. This is pretty much my favorite Devastator of all time, minus some customs that I've seen.

one robot mode for each face and the other two for the alt modes :tfevil ...well I guess my post is no longer needed because of prowlclone Has he ever posted pics of his whole collection?? To do that with every figure he would need a seperate house just for his collection it would take up so much space. I have a very modest collection and even with stuff in bins I still have figures all over the place. I couldn't imagine trying to have every mode of every figure posed. -

Well now hold on. Most of us collectors here tend to also collect other things then TFs. My latest Haul post was almost entirely Spawn figures with no TFs whatsoever. And lots of us happen to collect similar non-TF things whether they be Final Fantasy or Marvel or whatever. I feel like the only reason TransFan2 gets singled out is because he consistently posts hauls that are of large quantity. And the fact that he rarely says little else just furthers the curiosity. He is within his right to flood the thread with pics of his hauls because were all doing the same thing, just not as much. We should play a guessing game. I think TransFan2 is a doctor. I think the only explanation for Transfan2 is that he's a seller and the stuff he posts is a haul but stuff he intends to sell in some way. He tends to get a lot of stuff in bulk. I think I saw him with 5 takara animated Blitzwings recently. What regular collector would need that many? -

Not a Transformers haul but I ran into this while searching for TF's at one of my local spots. It's the plastic version of Masterpiece Voltron with the "Metallic" finish. Gotta say I'm quite impressed with this set. The horror stories of the Die Cast version breaking easily scared me off from that one but this one is great.
