arioch posted:There are small differences between the various releases but the essential model is the same: The DVD Prime with the base doesn't have the battle damage, but has a somewhat brighter and more flat paintjob than the MP(Along with the other paintjob changes, which include more yellow too) The changed communicator stickers are also the same as those on MP-04(The one with the trailer) Color variations on the big gun: First release of 20th Anniv Op has the silver gun like the Japanese version, later releases had a black gun. DVD Prime's got a blue, silver and yellow gun. There's a good comparison shot here: http://www.seibertron.com/toys/full...ize=1&image=155 Rest of the gallery has more pics comparing the versions.

Nefud is the bad boy of this thread  Rock on man, its funny seeing everyone gang up on you So I ended up getting Hot Shot. I'm making a new Bot purchasing rule: I can only buy transformers with money I get from Fusion Cash, therefore I limit my spending and spend no money of my own.

Also, a couple of things. First, K-mart will be having a sale starting Sunday (and ending Saturday) where if you buy any TF movie toy, you get a Robot Heroes pack for free. Secondly, I finally got the DS Decepticon edition of the new game. You guys were right, it is pretty good and for a DS game, the graphics aren't half bad.

arariel posted:Another gallery here gee, that's exciting stuff... if you like recolors. i ain't so hot on em. my take on the upcoming merchandise deluge, numbered, as usual, for easy perusal: 1. i'm impressed how they captured the cheapo-polyester-cop-ripoff quality of a real security officer in recon barricade. he looks like a douche. 2. that armored car guy looks kind of neat FROM THE BACK ONLY YOU DUMB FUCKSTICK ARE YOU SO FAT YOU CAN'T WALK AROUND TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE loving CASE? 3. why the hell does brawl get a leader update when blackout, the true big-boy of the lot has to deal with being the smallest voyager ever? 4. cheap MP starscream, great! i really don't like the repaint they did, though. too garish. what i do like is being able to grab that mold at a better price so i don't feel bad about repainting it the way i want it. i'd strike a sort of middle ground between the takara release and the cartoon colors. 5. cheap MP starscream is a walmart exclusive! gently caress you hasbro! i refuse to go into a wal-mart, browse on their website, give them one cent of my money, or deal with any of their spinoff poo poo like sam's. they are a inconscionably evil, horrible corporation to be sure, but worst of all, they sell poo poo and drive down product quality the world over. gently caress them. i'll only buy it if i can get it from ebay or BBTS or something. not a dime, you greasy walton fucks. 6. jesus, red alert has really put on some weight since the old days.

I understand that, but let's keep in mind that when we rip on people who bought Transformer X, we're ripping on people in this thread. I think nearly the entire Cybertron line isn't even worth the plastic it's made out of, but I'm certainly not going to call the people who buy them names. Also, "easter-egg"? I don't get it. A lot of the MP Starscream bashing is nonsensical to me. He's not green, he's a very dark blue. He does look green in some photos, but there's very little green to it in person. Even if the G1 colored Starscream had been announced day one alongside the Takara one, I would have bought the Takara one to have the Best Jet Transformer Ever Made in realistic colors. I might have a different viewpoint if mine had arrived broken, as some have reported happened with theirs, but I dodged that bullet. Now let's see Hasbro figure out a way to get Masterpiece Megatron out in the US.

Yeah, I haven't really posted in many threads heavily before these TF ones because the ones I was interested in always devolved into Fark-style flamewars. I used to frequent the Games section, but I got out of the habit when it became nothing but "Let's play _____" threads and never really went back. I think simply floating about in GBS keeps the TF fans safely hidden in plain sight.

Anyone happen to remember any info about that psychological study of nerds? They basically found that they were the meanest bunch of dipshits in the world, who would tear each other apart at the drop of a hat, because they grew up thinking that was the way the world worked. I always thought that sounded like total BS, but the longer I'm on the internet, the more likely it seems. Edit: this thread, despite us being huge "robofags" is way better than actual transformers forums. Those are scary and I only manage to look at kitbash stuff for creative stuff, but most of that has turned into "OMG G1 repaint! *SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGE!*" and "Nemesis Prime number 13,742" lately.

Soooooooo, I've made quite the haul from Botcon so far. I've spent way too much than I should've, but they had the US Pepsi Prime for only $25! I also got pretty reasonable deals on the Japan reissue Kup and US reissue Skywarp. I don't think anyone's mentioned it yet, but the bonus surprise for folks who got the Primus package was a translucent blue Classics Mirage. Tomorrow night is the awards party. Anyone here wanna hang out or anything?

I just bought TRANSFORMERS Movie Deluxe: BUMBLEBEE. When I try to put him into his automobile mode the front part of the car wont stay on, Its spring activated. It seems as if the prongs that attach to the rest of the car are so small that the spring doesnt let it attach. What can I do to fix this?

I keep waiting to get ripped into for saying anything at all. At least here I'm surrounded by fellow robofags (HA! Love that term), and it's not as bad as TF boards, as someone else mentioned. Primus, those people piss me off. I love G1 with much nostalgia, but why isn't it okay to update things and/or admit when they hosed up originally? arariel posted:I have JUST the image for that... but I promised I wouldn't post any more... apparently, I'm some sort of a 'bastard' or something ...gently caress you, now I'm curious.
