Good God, Voyager The Last Knight Megatron is ridiculously good. Grab him if you can.

One of a few worthwhile things, this turd of a movie might poo poo out.

The Rescue Bots' identities are very firmly established to not be known outside of the population of Griffon Rock.
Yeah but during the later part of Prime everyone knows that Cybertronians exist and are on Earth so it's a bit weird that they decided to stay secret just in case AND that nobody noticed that the giant emergency services robots in that town and nowhere else in the world had suspiciously similar symbols to those on the robots fighting on TV. I mean it's not like the Aligned continuity is particularly rigid or anything but it's pretty funny how out of touch Griffin Rock seems to be with the rest of the world.

Actually, the events that transpired in Jasper were covered up by Fowler in season 3. It's still a secret.

I didn't get that impression, but Bumblebee explicitely mentions that it's not a secret in the last two or three episodes of RID2015.

I took that to mean he didn't want people like the government made aware of it. He seems to want to keep Raf, Jack, Miko, et all out of whatever he's doing and let them live their lives.

That's an interpretation I hadn't considered, partially because they've only been away from Earth for about five minutes between seasons.

The episodes with Blurr suggest it's been as long as the timeskip on Rescue Bots, so I'd wager that means it's been five years since the end of Prime.

You're making me want to rewatch all of these in release order now so I can staple together the shoddy continuity more coherently in my head. The Blurr/Sideswipe crossovers came later than the Bumblebee's new voice episode IIRC.

Well it's not like RID covers a wide span of time. Bee's guest appearance in the last season has him show up in Drift's ship fwiw.

Susanoo is popping up for people in the states and yet here I am with no new toy.

I mean Boost arrived today so I guess that's fine but he is neither tank nor samurai so really who gives a poo poo.

Edit: people who poo poo on badcube's weird transformations need to be forced to do Boost because holy loving poo poo what an unfun panel nightmare. Good thing he's never going back into alt mode!

Yeah he's real good, better than he looked.

Only thing I don't like is the lack of a notch or delineation to denote where the chest lines up from altmode to robot, but that's a moment of fiddling and no big deal.

I wanted to be a neo deconstructivist, but Mom wouldn't let me.
I saw the Toys R US exclusive Megatron and some other dragon dude who ended in -icus.
Does Megatron turn in to a stealth bomber in the movie? If so that's kinda cool.
The TLK toys are really disappointing to me, none of them have looked good enough to purchase.
They also had Perceptor and Kup from the Titans Return line but I passed on both of them.

He's in stock for delivery too. I literally have nowhere to put him or I'd be mashing the gently caress out of that checkout button.

Nipped into Hamleys today because why not.
They had all of TR wave 4 Deluxes.

£19 each, so I wasn't going to buy more than 1, and the one I bought is the objectively worst of the lot: Perceptor.
But Perceptor is great, so gently caress you.

If you do see Wave 4, and aren't personally compelled to buy Perceptor, buy literally any other one of the wave. (Except for maybe Kup.)
Twin Twist looks to be especially nice, and will be picked up in the future, but not for £19.

Oh man, when Smyths and Fenwicks have TR deluxes at 18 and 22 quid respectively, (hell, even Sainsbury's was selling RID2015 deluxes for 18), £19 for hard to find Wave 4s is bloody reasonable. Imma pick up Topspin tomorrow I think.

He turns into some kind of space plane in the movie, which I guess is close enough to the Generations bomber Megatron to slap a new head onto.

The voyager is quite good, though.

That's fair, but the last new wave I wanted things from, I paid £18 for one in A1 comics, only to find it for £13 in the Entertainer the next day.
But yeah, Hamleys had one complete set of Wave 4, plus an extra Top Spin and an extra Quake, I think it was.

They had some of wave 3 too, but their only non-Deluxe from Generations was Soundwave, who was about £44, and I already have Blaster,

Wife is not coming. Was not cost effective. Also means I have an extra Saturday pass (for sale - I'm not against wearing two).

We might be able to party in the room Abrosheen and I are sharing... for a fee (money, booze or toys).

I am bad at PMs, sorry. It's nothing personal. I honestly thought I did reply. Maybe you suck at reading them?

Back to the question at hand - who else is going to be at TFCon? Strangehumper reminded me we have about 8 days remaining!
