  1. Perhaps you could paint it over with some metallic purple model/miniatures paint? I know it won't look the same as vacuumised chrome, but it's better than nothing. :)
  2. Dude... what did you do to your Henkei Megatron's purple chrome?!? :o And Megatron definitely does have a drinking problem! :D
  3. I'm glad you guys are enjoying "Ultimate Megatron." :D
  4. I picked up Ultimate Optimus Prime last night at Kmart for $89 ($31 cheaper than the standard retail price!) :D Had a quick fiddle and took some photos which I'll post later... but overall this toy isn't as bad as I thought it would be, although I can definitely see why some people would be disappointed in this toy. I guess it might be because I had really low expectations for this toy, and I've refused to purchase it at the full $120 RRP - so considering that I got it at a cheaper price, I'm satisfied... but it's definitely not the greatest Optimus Prime toy out there - the cab robot is definitely highly simplified (and shrunken) to compensate for the trailer; which was to be expected. But there is some elegance to its simplicity (it is nice to have a TF that doesn't have a super complex transformation)... just needs to be cheaper. As for the claim of it being the "biggest" Optimus Prime... yeah, that's a stretch -- clearly the claim is based on the length of the Butterfly mode's wingalings. Wingalings aside, the Butterfly mode's height is tall, but in a walking on stilts kind of way. The butterfly mode is also a brick with bugger all articulation other than the head and arms... not much better than Powermaster Optimus Prime's super mode. (>_>) The truck w/ trailer mode is big, but I suspect that the Target exclusive MP Convoy w/ trailer might be bigger in vehicle mode. I don't have this toy, but some of my friends do, so I'll take some comparison pics next time I get the chance. The grey colour of the trailer is underwhelming (although it's not the usually awful "Hasblo" Grey). The Mech Tech weapon is a block - they shouldn't have bothered with it -- would have preferred to see the budget better spent on the actual figure itself. And it looks a bit ungainly attached to the bottom of the trailer.
  5. ...that's more TF aoi than I wanted to see. :/ <shudders> Now for something less homoerotic*, another MSPaint enhanced action shot: -------------- *Not intended as a criticism against homoeroticism, but it's not my thing. ;)
  6. Pretty much. I also use Irfanview to adjust image sizes and occasionally for some effects like greyscaling, blurring etc. That's all. I usually keep those blinds closed. I just had them opened to take those photos. :)
  7. Wow... I find Rodimus a lot easier and less frustrating to transform than the Seekers. Though Megatron's the freakin' worst. (-_-) I transformed both Hasbro and Takara Rodimus last night (so I effectively transformed the mould twice)... wasn't so bad. You get used to it after a while. The Seekers I find frustrating cos too much crap pops off when I transform them. Grimlock is definitely the easiest MP by far. Indeed. Had the head been sculpted to look more like the original Mindset, and if he'd been a Decepticon instead of an Autobot then I would've grabbed this toy. What's the point of homaging the Mindset name if you're not even going to get the faction right?? But that assumes Hasbro knows what they're doing... I mean, this is a company that gave us: + A homage to Erector sold as a Decepticon called "Mudflap." + An Autobot in the movieverse homaging the Decepticon name Mudflap, even though there was already a Decepticon in the Movieverse with that name (while Paramount may not have known this, they would still have to get everything approved by Hasbro who should have flagged this and asked Paramount to use a different name). + An Autobot in the movieverse with the name of a Decepticon named Jolt. Again... Hasbro should've picked this up. Consequently canonical material renamed this character "Dead End," but then Hasbro and made that confusing too. Nuts.
  8. Oooh! Love seeing room pics. :) Here's mine (some of you would have already seen it from my collection pics thread) lmao love ur mspaint work! Cheers dude. :) I'm too 'tarded to use anything above MSPaint :P :P Here's another one:
  9. Get Jetwing Prime if you want a Leader Class movie Prime with gatling guns. ;) He seems to be shelf warming at TRU atm, although they're expensive there (Big W was cheaper, but they're all sold out there :P)
  10. I think it's a GI Joe vehicle repainted to look like Starscream -- but doesn't transform
  11. Toe Jame in Disguise ;) I find most Sport/Device/Disney Label Transformers to be overpriced, so I only buy them if they really appeal to me and I can find it at below RRP. I've seen Sport Label TFs before, but I passed them up cos they were above what I was willing to pay.
  12. Found Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker at TRU today -- RRP was $79.99, but due to a pricing error, they sold it to me for $29.99 (wouldn't have bought it otherwise) :) In box Darth Vader robot mode Anakin Skywalker robot mode Imperial Star Destroyer mode (fore) Imperial Star Destroyer mode (aft) Republic Cruiser mode (fore) Republic Cruiser mode (aft)
  13. Ultimate Prime's out now?! Damn our slow distribution! I was driving through Epping today... I should've given Hasbro AU's head office a nasty glare. Nasty glaaaaaare!! So what else does Ultimate Prime's trailer do other than transform to butterfly mode? Does it have a combat deck mode?
  14. In today's episode of Can Devastator Eat It?? we ask the question - Can Devastator Eat Fortress Maximus?! Let's find out! Quite the challenge for Devastator... Nom! Nom! No--, hmmm... Okay, you got his head... but what about the rest of Fort Max?? Hey, it's Doctor Scalpel. Maybe he can help. "Keel ze leetle one!" Wha-?! Oh wow, Doctor Scalpel has shrunken Fortress Maximus down to bite size for you! (probably less kilojoules this way too ;)) NOM! NOM! NOM! NOM! NOM! Hooray, you did it Devvie! And thank you for the assist, Doc Scalpel! Tune in next time for another thrilling installment of Can Devastator Eat It?? :)
  15. Wow... Windcharger was a pegwarmer here. Although they're all gone now because stores massively discounted their TF toys to clear space for DotM. --------------------- Welcome to another episode of CAN DEVASTATOR EAT IT?? In today's episode we ask: can Revenge of the Fallen Devastator eat Transformers (2007) Devastator? It's the battle of the namesake! And here we have Legends and Deluxe Decepticon Brawl from TF1, but in the film this character was called Devastator. They're accusing ROTF Devastator of taking their name and they want it back! What will ROTF Devastator do? Against all odds, the Brawls remain optimistic. "Give us back our name!" they cry. NOM! NOM! NOM! NOM! NOM! I guess that settles it, ROTF Devastator can eat not just one, but _two_ TF1 Devastators! Tune in next time when we ask the question; can Devastator eat Fortress Maximus?!
  16. Yeah, ROTF Bumblebee is a fail figure. And I don't like the headsculpt - it may be screen-accurate, but it looks too "cute". I much prefer the head sculpts on TF1 Deluxe Bumblebees. I too was bitterly disappointed with Animated Lugnut, but found myself pleasantly surprised with RtS Lugnut. That toy is what the Animated one should have been.
