My updated Generations Red Alert.

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.

Was doing some dusting so I decided to take a break and check out what my Galaxy Tab camera was like. Mirage on watch duty.... Universe Roadbuster doesn't get alot of love for some reason but I love him... :love Shots didn't come out so hot but I shared anyway :tflaugh

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

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.

Well done sir. Captain power was the :awsum back in the day. I had all of those when I was a kid plus the tapes. I still remember being a kid and believing that moving the jet back and forth was really controlling the tv :tflaugh :hbang

Used this pic for another thread and I thought it came out pretty good for being taken with a Blackberry so I decided to post it here.

Picked up Scout Breakdown plus three Skystalker scouts to be Mindwipe's drone minions. Scrourge and the sweeps re-invented for ROTF.

Finally picked up Animated Arcee. And since you guys were talking up Scorponok I happened to go to one of my favorite spots for loose transformers and they had him.

Apparently my order from Robot Kingdom came in today. However the mailman wouldn't leave the package because it required my signature and of course I find out right after work when the post office already closed :fire :fire Anyway barring any setbacks I should be picking up Henkei Astrotrain and the Gear of War 2 set tomorrow.

I take into consideration how long the mold was actually out. Back when it orignally came out in the classics line Masterpiece and animated Grims weren't out yet so at the time this mold was a huge leap forward. That's why I still like it. It's kind of G1 with War within fuzed together to me.

Finally found a Marshall's in my area that had the special edition figures. Found all of em except for Prime who I didn't really want anyway. Also got a Masterpiece Skywarp who was actually bought last week at $60 but went on clearance right after so I got a price adjustment. Anybody whose Walmarts still have them they are now marked down to $30. Pays to keep receipts. ;)

Finally picked this guy up. :yay :yay

:yay :yay :yay :yay :yay :yay Got 2 Fiery Fallen and the Straightaway shootout pack from Target all on clearance. The Fallen were $5.38 each and the legends pack $4.98.

Picked up the Beachcomber/Deadlift two pack and ROTF N.E.S.T. Armorhide. Also re-bought Masterpiece Skywarp who I previously returned in hopes that Walmart would eventually clearance him out for cheaper. Never happened and then he dissapeared in my area. Saw him again so I bit. Love Beachcomber but with all the the GoBot references being made with these scout 2 packs I'm convinced he was supposed to be the Buggyman which I had as a kid. I think the Beachcomber resemblence was just coincidental but either way he's great.

Had an interesting week in hauling. Finally picked up the Fansproject G3 trailer I never got around to getting for Christmas. Also picked up ROTF Leader Megs for $10.09 from Toys R Us. He had a completely destoyed box with no cardboard so he was marked down to $15.09. I figured he must have been missing pieces but I bought him anyway figuring I could piece him back together. Come to find out the figure was mint. Nothing broken, nothing missing. Used a $5 coupon and voila. :tfevil Also ran across these at a local vintage toy store so I picked em up. so I could do this The money saved on Leader Megs went out the window on Devs. Payed total $145 for the set but being that I had already sold some other stuff in my collection I pretty much broke even. Never ever really see him on ebay much less live so I just dove in. Anybody know the going rate on MIB boxes of these? Just want to know just how far bent over I got :rofl
