I would have preferred Jazz to Wheeljack, but Wheeljack is cool, too.

Not buying Smokescreen until they give him the alternators' blue and yellow attire.
Why would they paint a classic Datsun in modern Subaru Racing livery?

Well, now DOMA's been canned, I can go marry my boo, and buy TFs as was intended. From an American Target.
I was going to say you're wrong, but I realized that, no, you're correct, since DOMA would prevent you from using being married as a way to enter the country. (I think a lot of people are confused and think lifting DOMA means gay marriage is legal nationwide which is, sadly, not the case at all.)

In any case, congrats!

A Whirl might get me into this stupid hobby. I almost bought Springer last night but decided against it, but I love Whirl as a character.

That was before I got back into Transformers and had income to spend. Is he even possible to find in box for a decent price nowadays?
This was about the last time I was really into the toys. They immediately followed it up with Armada which were awful toys.

For me the best Shockwave is still Binaltech Shockwave. If only because of that gorgeous paintjob he has.

Also he's an RX-8.

Ugh, I wish I had a Binaltech instead of an Alternator.

Yeah my Soundwave's left finger likes to pop out if I pull a bit too hard, as well. Only complaint I have about him. Okay, that, and I wish the Megatron gun would peg into his hand like his regular gun.

Sometimes I fantasize about mostly faithful live-action adaptations of Gundam 0079, Macross and Evangelion but that'll never happen. Pacific Rim was the closest I'll ever get, and I really, really hope it's not the last time I see the genre represented on the big screen.
I think 08th MS Team would make a good live action film and appeal to American audiences reasonably well, too.

The BSS spoiler rules apply to general discussion threads for comics. It's kind of hard to characterize this thread as that because it encompasses toys (primarily), TV shows (secondarily), and comics (tertiarily).

I'm not gonna pretend RiD was a good show, but Sky-byte made it watchable sometimes. I really do like Sky-Byte and Scourge from RiD a lot. And RiD was an awesome toyline.
RiD single-handedly revived my interest in stupid robot toys. Then Armada promptly killed it. Alternators was cool, too.

Shifting away from this mess.......

Whats everyones favourite figure ever?

Its such a tough one to say. But the one I keep thinking of right away is Animated Rodimus. Hes definitely a figure of his time, sleek as but still almost regal looking. And he was a bitch to get.

RiD Prime

Chicago pizza is delicious as long as you're going at it from the angle that it is completely unlike what you expect when you order pizza. Think of it more as a hearty tomato and sausage pie and you're golden.

I don't understand why you're so eager to defend it. People are always saying it's ok if something is lovely because it's "for kids" but kids should be raised on high-quality fun, so they have good taste as adults. IMO, etc.
The Transformers I was raised on required two or three flips to get from car to robot and had little articulation beyond moving arms around.

Supercars, in general, are tiny. They don't look it in solo photos, but are very much so in reality. I sat in a new Viper the other night, and the top of the windscreen was below my 6'1" eye level.

Actually, on second thought, I dunno. Stardust was generally more creative than just killing bad guys. Like, they will often end up dead, but not before being turned into a tiny person with a giant head then being dropped into a pit of 100 slow poison snakes (only 3 actually drawn).

I got my Masterpiece Smokescreen yesterday, and you guys weren't kidding about that one chest bit being hard to snap in. I missed doing it as I was going and couldn't figure out why the chest wouldn't quite stay down, then I realized I had to shove that in. I dunno if he'll ever be a car again.

Ehhhh. You guys are over-estimating how much Disney World costs. Would it be *cheap*? No, but you can find timeshares or long-term stay hotels available for probably less than renting an apartment in a city, and then just seasonal or annual passes for everyone for park entry. Food can be done cheaply if you limit what you eat inside the parks. Orlando is not really an expensive city if you get away from the major tourist areas.
