That FT Motormaster is beaaaautiful It not only looks better, it can do either Studio Ox version or G1 cartoon accurate version, whichever you prefer (as can Superion). XTB is nice and I'm going to continue getting them because I'm a Stunticon mark, but FT blows it completely out of the water in every respect, combined form and individual bots.

I got the KO Nero Rex and I was pretty happy with him overall. Some of those non-slip pads to keep him from moving in combined mode were necessary but overall considering I got him for less than $90 shipped including the alternate combined mode claws and a better lion head. I wish the robot heads weren't big for some reason, but ehhh...

So how does that work? Is he basically a triple (quadruple I guess?) changer with two different robot modes? Or are there two different figures?

yes, because it's totally unreasonable to keep focus on your franchise's official stuff and not unofficial things

Can you imagine how much extra moderation work it would take to keep the Toy sections on TFWiki from degrading into 3P marketing copy and/or mudslinging between 3PMP companies? It'd destroy the site's credibility and introduce countless conflicts of interest.

Not to mention, Hasbro has to retain plausible deniability for 3rd party stuff to continue to exist. If the wiki starts playing host to third party content, Hasbro has to stop communicating with them, and the wiki has gotten news and information directly from them in the past. The fandom would be losing a valuable resource.

If TFwiki made the editorial decision not to include them because of Hasbro ties, that's understandable.

I definitely want to look up info on a toy and find 20 pages listing every third party, knockoff third party, knockoff first party, oversized knockoff first party, and oversized knockoff third party figure ever made. Yes, I am Rhyno and have stolen Endless Mike's account!!!!!

I know TFwiki are cunts about it I tend to just go through TFSource to see what’s listed—since they still have photos of out of stock stuff, which BBTS doesn’t—and cross reference whatever looks neat with the TFW2005 boards (though I can only take so much—Jeez guys, scale didn’t even matter in the loving cartoon, for God’s sake) and/or YouTube videos. There’s also a TFW2005 thread that lists MP possibilities for pretty much every canon character which is pretty handy.

Guy known for being a troll on the wiki and trying to force covering of 3rd party stuff on the wiki, does what is essentially free marketing for them on TFW and other sites, tirelessly tries to set people against Hasbro, that kinda dude.

He's basically a white Ironhide, no pictures when I run a search for "Transformers Siege Ratchet." Rhyno posted:He did as that us how I got mine. Perhaps you were more patient than I. There's a lot of "not available online" on their website... I found a couple in-store and I want to say I sent one to a secret santee that year? That was the end of my checking for Brainstorm online, at any rate.

RoboToyBase (formerly chimimung.com or whatever, so they're good people) has them in stock, that's where I stole the picture from. https://robotoybase.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=5019 They've been having PayPal issues with US customers lately with ordering through the site checkout, but if SirToys can't find one you could try shooting them an email and they can send you an invoice. I've done that for some of the obscure KO stuff.

The TDW Abominus kit showed up yesterday, put it all together today. While not the best, it's not the nightmare some have reported. The leg bits could be more secure but it really beefs him up so I'll say it was worth the purchase for how nice he now looks.

So, I was fiddling with my mp36, and this hinged piece fell off.   Sorry for the blurry picture. The schmutz on the opening is from where I was trying to use an eraser to grip the flat screw to reattach it. What’s the correct fix for this?
