Keldroc posted:S1nn3r, I'd like to hear more about the PC version to be sure it's the same as the 360 version. This is sadly true; most missions in the Armada game either required no transforming or were simple and obvious "get from point A to point B" sequences that could be done with any character. (Also, since no levels took place in civilization, Hot Shot therefore had the worst vehicle mode by default, since you never needed his speed and he had crappy traction.) The early design sketches shows that they wanted more vehicle integration, with alternate/better/secret paths that could only be reached by a certain character in their vehicle mode, but time constraints limited them to what we got. Also, the glider pack was a good excuse not to throw in any flying Autobots. It's still awesome as hell to plow through a squad of Decepticlones or take out a heavy turret at full speed as Prime, though.

Keldroc posted:Yeah, because when you have a brand that has endured for 24 years in multiple incarnations across three generations, clearly the kids are having problems identifying with the characters. This is pretty much "The Batman" all over again. I'll eat my Classics Bumblebee* if it turns out any better. *Not really.

Rei_ posted:Anyone who died to make way for a Pretender really got hosed over. You can say that again. I think I was a little too happy when one of Unicron's heralds from another universe sliced a Pretender in half in the Armada comic (or maybe it was just his Pretender shell, it's been a while).

That Elita 1 looks way better than whatever that gaudy blue Arcee repaint was. I'm not too keen on the energon weapons being remolded with dirty brown/gray plastic though, at least they got hers right by making it a solid color and not polymerized diarrhea like Strongarm and Skyblast. Whoa, somehow I skipped over Air Raid. drat good repaint there too.

Keldroc posted:That's what I get for word-searching the post instead of, you know, reading  As for the movie designs... while I don't dislike them, they're not exactly the Transformers version of B:TAS. (If anything, they're the Transformers version of Batman Beyond.) If anything could claim that designation I'd say the Classics do, for obvious reasons, although I think Cybertron has been the most solid "real" toy series (as in, based on some existing media) as a whole.

Keldroc posted:A co-worker who just returned from BotCon reports that the scalping was fast and brutal. All the box sets were sold to pre-reg people, naturally, and many of them ended up on the dealer room floor the next day for $500+. He tried to buy Alpha Trion + Weirdwolf from a dealer and the guy was selling them for $500 EACH. Frankly, I blame Hasbro for making such awesome figures exclusive as I do for the scalping jerks snapping them up.

If anyone can snag a reissue Soundwave, I'll gladly pay cost+shipping. It's pretty much the last TF toy I need for now. McSpanky fucked around with this message at Jul 3, 2007 around 19:51 |

Raar_Im_A_Dinosaur posted:They're all like that, its just that Nefud is playing to character as the grumpy old guy who doesn't like anything. If you're fine with a double tape deck and stickers that can be replaced with ones from repro if you're a stickler, he's perfectly fine. Oh, cool.

MjolnirMan posted:Alternately, what's the best way to de-dust the nooks and crannies in those lovely detailed Classics figures? I use paintbrushes. Get one of those really thin little detailing brushes, they can slip through just about any joint on an action figure.
