This turned out really nice. I hope the production run looks just as good.

This is Perfect Effect's PE-DX02 Arranea Motobot, which is pretty apparent that it's Blackarachnia.






Part of the Robot/Vehicle mode sperates to form a cool spider drone which can hold weapons around it's mouth.


EDIT:Whoops, sorry I should've added more info.

Separate parts as in what? Like lots of cool accessories, or it's a partsformer to get it to go from motorcycle to 'bot?

A little of both actually.

Extra weapons and if it's anything like Perfect Effect's Arcee then transformation will require a bit of parts-forming.

Hopefully a review will be out soon to clarify everything.

It's beena long-held dream of mine to obtain an AFA-graded Beast Wars Neo Randy, then shake the poo poo out of it until he crumbles into gold fragments. It would be the centerpiece of my MISB collection-- an homage to GPS and the stupidity of AFA grading at the same time.

I would love to see this happen!

How much does it cost to get something like that AFA graded?

So, did you guys hear about how TRU mistakenly mailed out an Acid Storm so the guy who received it contacted them asking if he could pay for but TRU demanded that the person return it?

There's a big thread about it on TFW.

I just wonder if anybody got any Soundwaves in the mail??

Really not feeling the new Whirl toy.



The upper torso and shoulders look mis-transformed to me.

I understand that the people who set up these booths only have a few minutes or so to get everything ready so getting everything a 100% transformed isn't a top priority but you'd think they'd allocate time to do so especially when photos are going to be hitting the internet within the hour.

Such as what happened with Blitzwing.

It's more likely a protective finish so that the painted prototypes they put out for display don't just completely disintegrate. I dislike the gloss as much as the next guy, but given the choice between boring-rear end monochrome test shots and some offish-looking paintjobs, I'd go for the latter.

I wasn't being completely serious but just look at Skids and the Armada Starscream.

It probably is a protective finish to keep them safe during transportation and however many times they're transformed for display/posing.

There hasn't been any activity from them since 2010 it seems but I think it was due to budgeting constraints and the team consisted of just two people(I think).

So, I know i'm extremely late to the party but I just finally got to read The Last Stand of the Wreckers. I really enjoyed it!

Before this I think the last Transformers comics i've read were Dreamwave's Transformers/Gijoe and Micromasters. I didn't really care for those unfortunately.

Now i'm about to dive in to IDW's MTMTE so soon i'll be able to know what people are talking about!

Wow, god thing i'm caught up with MTMTE now or those spoilers would've horrible.

Speaking of MTMTE, any guesses as to where this current story arc is going?

How ludicrous would it be to think that maybe Tailgate will be become the new Ultra Magnus?
I mean he was just recently taught the unabridged version of the Tyrest Accord...and maybe some kinda' techno miracle will happen to his spark causing it to be more powerful.

Hey guys, take a second to think about Grimlock.

Got an image in your mind? Ok, now imagine him fused with Dygenguar and toss in some Escaflowne!




Honestly, I think the design is radical but *insert gripe about how the movie aesthetic doesn't match anything else Transformer related.*


Also, I should wait till we get to see more than just a silhouette...

Hello BSS Transformers Thread,
Does anyone have KFC's Perceptor?

For a really dumb moment I thought I had missed out on a very bizarre kid's meal toy.

Seriously though, I think i've only seen one complaint about the knees being really tight and another person saying the scope on there's comes off too easily.

That seems to be about it for any QC problems.

Rattrap and especially that Crosscut look amazing!

I'm not sure about Tankor though, but that's probably because i'm comparing it to the Beast Machines mold which is one of my favorites(despite being inaccurate...).

Maybe Tankor should have been Titan class!:haw:



Quick question on the Skids/Crosscut mold:

Are those wrist guns removable?

Although I agree that it's strange that they're going with Pirates as this year's theme I can't help but be excited because you guys are forgetting the coolest pirate-bot!

I have Cannonball, he's a fun toy. What was creepy about his tech-spec?

"A reckless pirate concerned only with where his next bit of stolen treasure is coming from. Cannonball and his crew of oil-thirsty pirates have terrorized merchant starships for centuries, returning to Cybertron only rarely to refuel and spend their ill-gotten loot on black-market Energon stars and pleasure programs. He claims loyalty to the Decepticon cause only because Megatron allows him to operate freely as long as he continues to attack only Autobot ships."
