Goktimus Prime

JYNCE: so cool that you found a Rescue Bot Optimus Prime!! I haven't been able to find any of the transformable Rescue Bots. :( Only those stupid accessories and the even stupider non-transformable electronic ones. :( :( (and even they're hard to find!! :eek) Hip-Hoptimus: do the Cyberverse playsets interconnect with each other? (I have a few, but haven't tried yet :P) As cool as they seem, IMO the G1 Micromaster playsets were cooler (and a LOT cheaper) :) ...but on the plus side, I like how all the Cyberverse weapons are self-contained and not detachable* like with the G1 Micromasters... especially the ramps!!! *or at least anything that is detachable has a place to go in all modes - you're not 'forced' to cast them aside. ---------------------------------------------- Who wants to play a game? :) You know how Hasbro's releasing a lot of new Star Wars toys but on old school card backs? Well, what would it look like if they did the same thing for Transformers? So the rules of this game are simple - take a Classicsverse toy and place it in the box or on the card of their G1 counterpart! Here's some that I've done... BRAWN CYCLONUS JETFIRE Now for legal reasons Hasbro may not be able to use the original G1 Jetfire box art, so here's an alternative version of them using Classics Jetfire art on the G1 box (hastily done up on MS Paint :P) Now go forth and try this!! :)

Lugnut flying inside an airplane... Thank you for flying 'Con Air! Human city sighted... Attack! *donk* They have a forcefield!

Mmm... ambiguity fresh. I wouldn't post it in a review thread, because a bunch of photos plus quick comments =/= review. A review should be a detailed and critical and analytical appraisal of a toy... not just a "Lookee what I got!" post or video which some people do and call it a 'review.' I might get around to reviewing the toy when I have the time to sit down and actually write a proper one. :) Breaker: We pay $9 for our Legion Class toys (though $7 if you can find them on sale)! I got my Rodimus vs. Cyclonus on sale at Target for $25 which I thought was a good price, cos a single deluxe usually retails for $25-30 ($35 at Myers!).

You'll never guess what I picked up from TRU today. :P G1 Hot Rod chillin' out with MP Rodimus Primes at TRU Visor, tools & mini-chest-Matrix "Hot Rod" w/ Matrix Rodimus Prime w/ Matrix Comparison between G1 and MP Hot Rod (robot mode) Comparison between G1 and MP Rodimus Prime Comparison between G1 and MP Hot Rod (vehicle mode) Comparison between G1 and MP Hot Rod (vehicle mode w/ guns) G1 Firebolt & MP Offshoot Unpainted driver's compartment :( Another view of the driver's compartment Rear view of vehicle mode G1 & MP Hot Rod (vehicle mode w/ Targetmaster weapons)

This is what happens when you take a whole bunch of action pose pics and stick 'em together in a music video! :P

Ah nuts. Oh well, thanks for trying anyway. :)

JNYCE: Just out of interest, can Deluxe DOTM Optimus Prime attach to G1 (1984) Optimus Prime's trailer? Cos I would totally get this toy if it can... but otherwise I wouldn't

TF Prime toys are out?!? :eek The latest things we have here are DotM and Rescue Bots... which are CRAP. And not because they're PlaySkool Transformers, I like PlaySkool Transformers and I have some of them (First Transformers, 1-2-3 Transformers, Go-Bots/Big Adventures etc.) -- but the Rescue Bots are seriously epic fail. :( Maybe cos I got those big electronic ones that DON'T EFFING TRANSFORM! :fire - and of course, the "Product does not convert" disclaimer is in itty-bitty tiny-arse writing... Grrr... I'm gonna bring 'em back to Target and get my money back dammmmnnnit. I already opened Heatwave but I haven't opened Chase yet. *sigh* Stupid impulse buy -- they were on sale at nearly half price, but even then I feel MASSIVELY ripped off and I want my money back!

Ebonsabre: I don't see why he can't, though I haven't tried it myself. Other than a few cosmetic changes, the only significant retool is the fact that the fuel tanks can be removed and combine to form the gun - but that shouldn't effect the toy's ability to combine with Leader Jetfire. If I can be ever bothered trying, I'll post pics. :P

LOL, that's cool! And a helluva lot cooler than the actual Stealth Force toys too IMO! :D

TFCC Ramjet getting handled by Movie Bumblebee at Toys R Us. Ramjet later said he felt "violated." Shut up ya purple freak... nobody cares how you feel! :P

Megatron's Day Out: Playing on the little swing... whee! Climbing Got some competition there... Ready... WHEE!!! More climbing... King of the ropes! Hanging about

It's a retool of Buster Optimus Prime, so the fuel tanks can also detach and form the gun. However unlike Buster Prime, the chromes have been replaced with Hasblo Grey. :( Otherwise new retool & features are: + The red parts under the chest-windows have been reduced, which makes it more accurate to the DotM Optimus Prime CGI model (reference pic) + The abs are all new, more closely resembling Optimus Prime's new abs in DotM (reference pic) + No spring out blades - which means the arms can fully extend! (which ROTF Leader Prime can't do when his swords are retracted... so annoying) If anyone's wondering, no, the Jetwing pack cannot clip onto ROTF Leader Optimus Prime, but it should be able to connect to Buster Prime. This is because ROTF Leader Prime's fuel tanks cannot detach - and they have to detach in order for the Jetwing pack to fit on. The fuel tanks can then either be stored in two compartments in the Jetwing, or combine to form the gun. The Jetwing is quite heavy, but toy also comes with two supports which clip onto the back of Optimus Prime's heel which actually supports the toy pretty well. These heel supports are also stored away in the Jetwing's vehicle mode. And yes, the Gatling guns can rotate, but you have to do it manually, there's no push-button gimmick or anything that makes them spin. Here's a little photo comic that shows how the Jetwing assembles. ;) ------------- P.S.: I took this toy with me when I watched Dark of the Moon for the second time on July 2nd in the cinema... and I was playing along with the scene when Jetwing Prime appeared, eheheheheh. :D Zooooommm!!

I picked mine up from my local Big W about 2 weeks ago. Spotted him at Myer and Toys R Us for AU$170 -- what a rip. Glad I waited until it came out at Big W for AU$148... still pricey, but better than paying Myer's or TRU's price. (>_>) I know some people who still think $148 is too rich and are waiting to see if it'll come down any further - but my local Big W sold out of Jetwing Primes about a fortnight after the toys came out, and I haven't seen them restock yet. Here's some more piccies: And here's a comparison between Jetwing Optimus Prime (L) and ROTF Leader Optimus Prime: I've also translated his tech specs card...

And Lockdown on cello. :)

Nice photography there Hellscream! :) My latest "Famous Cover" MS Paint masterpiece ;p
