All this Walgreens talk got me curious. Sure enough while every other store was languishing in wave 1 hell, I picked up Brainstorm and Chromedome.

Brainstorm buddy!I went on a total whim. Wife needed to pick up something and I of course tagged along. This particular Walgreens only had 2 Brainstorms, no other deluxes. Pretty pumped to open him up in a bit.

So I'm not gonna have money for any masterpieces any time So i'm quite content with stuff that looks good on the shelf, and occassionally gets transformed or posed. Does anyone know what KO this is, and if it's just awful, or if it's passable? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/351776603687

If you want a Soundwave, get the TR Leader.

The stock checker on Walgreens.com checks the SKU which is the same on Brainstorm and all of TR wave 2 so the "2-5" at your nearby store is more likely composed of random deluxes.

Carnifex's shoulders are a nightmare to transform, and his backpack slider locks in so tight it feels like I'm about to break something. Looks real good though. That is all.

A good poster posted:It's supposed to be pre-heel-turn Miles Mayhem, who was the inventor of the MASK technology. He's still really evil, but no one seems to notice yet. To be fair I think people are trying to determine if he's just an evil son of a bitch or an evil alien who's taken his form. The short of Revolution is - Shape changing aliens infiltrate humanity, replace dudes like Joe Coulton. ROM is there to kill them all, which makes the crazy rear end Joe's think that the Autobots are waging war on humanity, leading to poo poo like MASK. Meanwhile Action Man is running around just happy to be doing stuff. Also there's things going on with the Micronauts I guess but I don't particularly care it seems very disconnected with literally everyone else. Next Issue has Snake-Eyes infiltrate Autobot City.

oh, hey, there are compartements on Wolfwire's arms for his fists. Who reads instructions, anyway. That gave him a cleaner look, but man, standing him in wolf mode is still weird. Eyeballing getting his paws all level in mid-air does not work for me.

Peaugh has reviews of TR Optimus and Megatron up. Megs is the better of the two, but those stickers look to be problems. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoFg0ZmYUT0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMu2wA-4w4o The MSJ fucked around with this message at 15:06 on Oct 29, 2016 |

That Megatron looks like poopy butts and that Optimus does too I'll stick with my CW Megatron and continue to not have a good Optimus I guess.

Once you know that it's easy but the instructions just go "fold up his shoulders against his body, dummy" and it's 100% impossible to do without pulling out the cones. CAPT. Rainbowbeard posted:Carnifex's shoulders are a nightmare to transform, and his backpack slider locks in so tight it feels like I'm about to break something. For the backpack I found opening it all up as if transforming them into the wings made it possible because otherwise I'm pretty sure the teeth in the wings locks it into place.

Since the first pics of those two came out I decided to wait for the not Ops and Megs versions of the molds. LIke mentioned earlier CW Leader Megs is good and I'll probably see if I can find PM Prime at a good price.

Captain Invictus posted:Alrighty. He also has them with the packaging for 30 cents more, might as well just grab those instead. He also has the Wei Jiang OS Throttlebots for 12 bucks each, I bought a second set to have in car mode next to the bot modes because that is just stupidly cheap for such great toys. You should 100% buy these if you have not yet, they're a joy to play with, they're voyager-sized, both the car and robot modes are fantastic, and they're TWELVE DOLLARS. http://www.ebay.com/itm/WEIJIANG-ov...l0AAOSwzaJX~LjQ

I'm gonna get Megatron because he feels way more MTMTE than the CW Leader and because I already have a Blitzwing I like who isn't a Headmaster. May or may not pass on Optimus but will probs get Octane.

I think the sum total of my 3P collection are some CW upgrades from PE and Nonnef, some 3D-printed stuff, the Assault Force X Reflector, and some KFC hands. MMC (I assume) MTMTEtron looks great, he does, but that would entail buying into an (expensive!) ecosystem I've mostly avoided thus far. Plus he wouldn't look right. I don't need comics-accuracy (beyond headsculpts) as much as I need a cohesive aesthetic. I do really like RMX Jaguar, though, I need to save for him...

I really like the transformations on the wave 3 stuff, they'll be fantastic as Blitzwing and Octankor. The 3 legends class guys are all super neat too (Peaugh also uploaded them recently). Is IDW Megatron's cannon as gigantic in-comic as that MMC figure? He usually doesn't wear it as an autobot so... Blackheart fucked around with this message at 02:29 on Oct 30, 2016 |
