  1. Hey!! I'm back, baby!!

     

    My picks are:

     

    Best Hasbro Official toy: Combiners Wars Superion! He's / They're just so awesome!! I'm still just not tired of messing with them! Even with Slingshot not in my particular arrangement, they cannot stop being cool! Great figures/ Great Combiner

     

    Best Takara Tomy Official toy: Legends Ultra Magnus! I have the Combiners Wars version but those colors on Legends Ultra...Just as true blue as Ultra Magnus should be! Great Great!!

     

    Best Masterpiece: Diaclone Blue Bluestreak! Nuff Said! He just looks awesome!!

     

    Best 3rd Party Transformer: I can't pick just one so, in all their incarnations, all the Insecticons! Great engineering and just some of the tightest transformation schemes I've seen in a long while!

     

    Best Storyline: Alita-1's arrival! Cans we has more Fembots, please??

     

    Best news story: Combiners Wars Cartoon!! What?! So much awesome!!

     

    Best Toy Reveal: A tossup: Masterpiece Diaclone Bluestreak and Titan Wars Galvatron ... Because, I wasn't expecting either of those guys to hit the shelves! I need both!

  2. Just got Goldfire and Dreadwing and loving them both! Wasn't going to get them origonally but glad that I did! Why is Goldfire so awesome?? I'm really enjoying the hell out of this guy! BTW... starting to read the comics again...anyone know if Bumblebee keeps his name or is he Goldfire from then on? :)

  3. I picked up Skids and Waspenator last week and I just love both toys!! Both are very cool!

     

    Skids I have not been able to put down yet! Hip fix aside, he is an example of how an Autobot toy or any Transformers toy can be when it's done right! Skids is just pure fun! Thanks Hasbro! This one get an A+ from me and I'm loving the way you've totally collapsed the windshield and hood to a complete flushed back pack and that is just completely amazing to me! I think you've created my new favorite deluxe Autobot toy!! =)

  4. I finally found an Orion Pax locally last night.

     

    I was initially going to pass on this figure due to size and modest indifference but after seeing some reviews and actually seeing it in person, I gave in. This is a fun figure despite nearing scout class in size but having better than average deluxe figure joint capabilities makes up the difference. Having two weapons, his Ion Blaster and enrgon Axe(more like a halberd) really helps round out the toy. I would have liked to have seen a voyager Pax, but I'm not sure where he would fit on the shelve in the size motif of things, but that's nothing new to us buyers of all things bots.

     

    Great articulation from ankles all the way to his ball jointed neck with the only real draw back being no rotation joint above or below the knee joints, but his has hips and thigh rotation, so a fair trade off(not to mention it might have made the transformation a bit odd/difficult). Even his wrist have rotation which is a nice touch to the stow away hands feature which normally is not added. His head is on the small side but it does have excellent detail for a decent trade off.

     

    His alt mode as a truck of sorts is kinda nifty and is a fun transformation to and from with a healthy nod to how Optimus transforms to and from. I've seen a custom of this mold made into Kup, and to be honest, it really suits it damn nicely(Ya listening repaint happy Hasbro?)

     

    If you're on the fence about him, I'd say do it, especially since they are only 12.97 at wal-mart, but if the IDW line is not your thing, fair play there too, but as a TF fan, you would be doing yourself a disservice by skipping on him.

    I liked him too! Only thing I'd love to see come with him is a Voyager styled Ion Rifle for CL Optimus which I thought would have made a nice touch. Tried out the gun Orion came with on Prime and just didn't have the same impressive nature as it did in Orion Pax's hands.

     

    BTW, I finally found a TFPFE Cliffjumper!! Awesomeness although the back of his hood dosen't flush in with the rest of the auto mode but this one was the most decently painted so...tradeoffs, right? LOL!

     

    This really makes me want a Breakdown and Skyquake to complete the cast.

  5. So, I just got a copy of Transformers Prime First Edition Bumblebee and might I say, what an awesome toy indeed! At first I was on the cusp of saying that there was absolutely very little changed when comparing him to the TFP main line figure but after I started playing around with him did I notice how much these changes made the difference! He's such an amazing figure and I'm almost thinking my favorite Deluxe Autobot Carbot to date!

     

    Loving how this takes the classical Headlight/Chest panel and tweaked it so that he has actual working pectorals when he moves his arms up and down and the ability to have him fold his arms in robot mode is just awesome! I really wish that Hasbro took this and used it for another figure and the tweaks would have made an awesome Prowl/Bluestreak/Smokescreen depending on how it's modded.

     

    I'm really enjoying this guy! Last TFP First edition needed is the illusive Cliffjumper! Where arreee yoouuuu!?! :)

  6. So I got Generations Bumblebee a few ways ago and aside from being another Bumblebee character on the shelves, he's pretty awesome!! Only things I can think about griping about are I really wish his head came with a ball joint so he could have an up and down pivot...also because I think he should always be looking up to Prime! 2 I really wish the designers could have worked his door wings onto his back and 3 I can see some room to collapse the wheels to the back of his legs to make them look more full but love the Windchargery inspired leg transformation!

    All in all I'm really loving the toy and if you need a Bumblebee in the collection, this or Classics are your guys! Generations Bumblebee really fits in with the other Classics-Universe-Generations figures and I just love how well he pairs off with GDO Cliffjumper!

     

    Quick edit: I really hope that the future isn't going to be Faux hood/chest as I really do like having a more involved piece.

  7. Found and bought Hoist! He's cool! Loving Trailbreaker a bit more and I just wish that there were more differentiating both characters besides the heads. Maybe thinking of buying the 3rd party upgrades for them but I'm glad that I'm finding these guys in retail!

     

    Now thinking about Bee and Thundercracker. Have yet to find Megatron but may opt to wait for Dreadwing. :)

  8. Wound up finding an Orion Pax last night that I would up totally enjoying! He's small and a good size for a deluxe and it's so nice to have the IDW designs in hand again because I totally enjoy their designs come to life!

     

    The toy himself is awesome although I wish the arms locked in more properly than they do now and the plastic quality is there but it's not there if you know what I mean but everything else he does is awesome!

     

    My only other gripe would be that I wish that he came with another ion cannon for Classics Prime because when I got this guy, I really wanted to give the weapons to Classics Optimus but after trying this I thought that the weapons were a bit too small for such an Iconic character.

  9. Got Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Ultra Magnus and Grimwing! Both characters are soo awese and since Darksteel I had to get Grimwing! The pair is just amazing still though, that chest cavity not locking in...just annoying.

     

    Also ... Generations TRAILCUTTER!! Was sooo surprised to see him just hanging on a peg all by his lonesome. Wasn't going to buy anything today but fate has forced my hands...to take my wallet out and buy the dude! :). Awesome toy but would be nicer as a voyager. After comparing him with Springer, he does kinda look off but he looks great with the original crew. :)

  10. So I haven't posted my hauls in a while but...

     

    Springer for the win!! And Sandstorm was so close by and I'm amazed at just how different they both are! Good job, Hasbro!! Although QC issues came about when Springer got 2x the same tailfin! GAAHHH!! But got a duplicate so I'm okay now! Somehow, getting a duplicate MSIB lessened my spite. LOL! :)

     

    Also got Blitzwing, Grimlock, Blaster and Soundwave...the Cassette/disk so for me it's a new age of Voyagers!! It's nice to have voyagers again with good quality! I'm not even complaining about Grimloch with all the hollowness. Could have been a thicker plastic but all in all I'm completely satisfied!

     

    On the Transformers Prime side I got Skystalker and Darksteel! Love them both but... Darksteel...aaahhhh sooo annoying with the chest cavity that won't stay stationary! Everything else was soo well planned...what happened?? Otherwise they are both solid figures!

  11. I picked up Voyager Beast Hunters Optimus too and I love him as well!!!

     

    I'm having fun with this guy painting him with Sharpies! :D

     

    Got Springer and Blitzwing at my local Walmart last night! Didn't open them up yet but so far both look incredible!!

     

    This also means that my Transformers Animated Blitzwing is up for grabs for anyone interested :thumb

    It's amazing that you say that. Why? Because last week I picked up an extra Beast Hunters Wheeljack and went to town on him with a Silver Sharpie. Let me tell you, getting rid of all that gold coloring makes this guy straight awesome looking!!!

     

    Ha ha ! No. I didn't even know that you were doing that! I got the idea from Emgo and when I saw that he was putting some good detail into his Prime I thought I would be able to do the same thing but didn't stop at just the chest! now I'm needing Bronze Sharpie to give some contrast and also am thinking of getting some Gundam paint markers! :D

    That actually sounds interesting!! I have to figure out how to post pictures from my phone so I can post up Wheeljack!!

     

     

    Link me to it when you do! I'd love to see what you've done!

  14. Just picked up Generations Rumble and Ravage and Ratbat and Frenzy and love all these guys! Loading Soundwave up with Rumble, Ravage and Laserbeak just bought back soo much nostalgia! <3 C:

     

    Also, PRID Rumble and Beasthunters Smokescreen! Both were amazing surprises! Solid in both alt and bot modes! Still have to do something about Smoke's ball joints as they are incredibly loose but a good kinda complex transformation and I was even able to forgive that faux chest because of all the other good things this toy did! Just awesome! The armor is a plus but not using the armor or missile at all. He just looks better with a pistol and being bare in all his Autobot goodness!

  15. Finally found!! My DOTM SENTINEL PRIME!! WOOT WOOT! :cjdance :tfdance

     

    Don't think he panels in too well but I'm thinking that the more I play around with him the more ht'ee be able to panel in a lot better with practice. The robot mode is just awesome though and I'm loving the fire engine mode and once I get him fitted a bit more I'm sure he'll be more than awesome!

     

    Also, GDO Laserbeak! Cool for a repaint but still on the search for Swerve and Wheelie. :)

  16. Got Voyager Dreadwing! He's very awesome but needs a little work as the ball joint in his neck looks like it wants to come out constantly and the waist dosen't connect properly but I still like him a LOT! Just awesome in both modes! Fits in well with my classics IMO. :)

  17. I just picked up FOC Shockwave!

     

    The figure is pretty decent! He's got decent articulation, Looks like Shocky and I don't even mind the wings! Makes Shockwave look more sinisterly Decepticon in my opinion. Great Mold but too easy to transform IMO as I do get into the more complex figures but what he carries off, he carries off well. I do have gripes about him not being a Voyager classed figure and I think I'd be getting my moneys worth in that size class but as a Deluxe figure he fits in with the Decepticon Seekers pretty well and is pretty solid all around!

     

    Fifteen bucks for a deluxe class figure is still too steep IMO and if they were less I'd have bought another FOC figure or something from Prime but ... :shrug eh.

     

    I do like him though and only gripe I have about this dude is that he didn't have a yellow optic instead of the pinkish red they used for him. I think if Hasbro used Yellow for the sensor and his chest panel his colors would pop a bit more. As of now his colors are a bit muted. Doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the toy, but he could have just used a little help in this area.

  18. I just got HA Roadbuster and he's AAAAAMMMMMMAAAAAZZZIIINNGG!!!! :yay :awsum :awsum :awsum :bounce :party

     

    Found him at Ross and wish I had gotten him on retail but almost half price is not a bad deal! Just possibly my favorite Transformer right now! Just an amazing figure and very well thought out with a minimal of kibble and two fantastic modes, I just can't say enough about this guy! Just an awesome design!! :ohyeah
