    I really want Tigertrack's shoulder launcher and feet for my MP Sideswipe. (yes, MP Sideswipe may be toon-accurate----but that means he's friggin' BLAND in bot mode----the toy had so much more "life" to it do to the little details/accents here and there----Tigertrack has some of them, and they're exactly correct for Sideswipe too)

    Are image responses over-done yet? If not: Anyways, easily lost notes: PS4 comes with headset and 500GB hard drive. Hard drive is upgradeable like PS3's. Region-free. XB1 hard drive is not replaceable, but can use external flash drives etc, and uses USB 3.0 Also, MS has clarified that some games will be "non-transferable and have no resale value"

    That's exactly what they did.

    Ok, Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts 3. Forget Sony, Square's had the best showing at E3.

    Ok, so we know the PS4 parallelogram. That took an hour?

    Owning? You mean license.

    Well, more like over a grand, since you need the Xbone, tablet, and phone to call in airstrikes to get past the intro stage in Dead Rising 3...

    Let us know how it's doing after 3 transformations or so.

    Don't forget 0080 and 08th MS team! Some of the best UC there is. Much better than 0083 and CCA.

    That can actually be a selling point for vintage cars---if they have the original air in the tires. (some people do get that picky about it being EXACTLY how it left the factory)

    I go one step futher---get the water very hot, almost to boiling (I microwave it in a large cup). Then sit the can in the very hot water for a few minutes---the can should be ALMOST too hot to handle. Then use it. When the can has cooled down to simply "warm"----put it back in the hot water. The can will cool very rapidly just due to the physics of spraying.

    Whoa whoa whoa---I *wish* they were cylinders with wings, nose, and tail. Then Falcon and Harrier would have had half-way-decent jet modes. They're rectangles with wings, nose, and tail. Which really only works for the F-15 and MiG-25.

    Hmmn. Definitely not going to be Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Red Alert, or Breakdown. Since the 'vette is Slingshot, this is probably Defensor or Triggerhappy.

    Speaking of which, latest update from TF4: Knowing Bay's history of names+altmodes, my vote is for Wheeljack or Abominus. Whoever it ends up being, I will wait for the red repaint of the toy, and it will be my "movie Sideswipe".
  17. David Hingtgen
    Maybe---but only if Milia's is available!

    Make sure to read the instructions carefully. I see more incorrectly transformed MP Sideswipes than correct ones. Main 3 things: 1. "Gap-fillers" on the inner sides of his calves. 2. Rotating the cooling intakes down 90 degrees to face forwards (the top of the outside of his lower legs) 3. Getting the door windows fully flipped around and tucked by the roof---you should see no red at all from any viewing angle when done properly, only the black/smoke color. And they should not be visible at all from the front, should be fully tucked in to be narrower than his waist. None of these things are big, obvious things (which is why so many people miss them) but taken together, they do make a better, more cohesive robot mode---everything is more solid/compact.

    $99 is for the entire boxed set of figures of vehicles, not just "Jetfire".

    I wanted to sell it the very day I got it---but the "retail" price was already dropping and I had no takers despite dropping my asking price pretty much continuously. Then "the little black piece that everyone breaks" broke when I transformed it for the 2nd time ever, to get it back to fighter mode to box up...
  21. David Hingtgen
    Man, at this point I think I should sell it for "whatever" and cut my losses. I'm losing like 20 bucks a week at this point...

    It's 1/72 scale. There's approximately 3.4 zillion aftermarket sets that'll have something useful on it. Mainly F-4, F-8, F-14, and F-18 sheets...

    I also see way too much "Liger Zero" in TFC's beast mode. I mean yeah, all "giant robot lions" look alike somewhat, but look at the feet, toes/claws, and the "protruding round cylinder joints"---they are so Zoid-esque that I see it as a rip-off of a Liger, not an homage/inspiration. The claws especially----Zoid Ligers of all types have a quite distinctive way of doing the claws---and TFC's is exactly like that, and nothing like any incarnation of Razorclaw that I know of. If you're familiar with Liger-type Zoids, look at this pic: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attach/4/0/5/9/7/8271cf6egw1e590egeyctj20sg0l3djg_1370105322.jpg Check the claws, the shape of the foot itself, and the "ridged joint detail" right above the foot----that's a recessed Zoid cap. The very long, thin eyes are also quite "Zoids Liger" esque. And the guns. Again----"all giant mecha guns" look somewhat alike---but these sure strike me as Zoid-esque more than "G1 TF".

    When TFC puts their eye-searingly bad paint apps on that torso, opinions will change. Plus---TFC's torso has like no back/sides. It's like 2-dimensional. It's not real obvious as most of their pics are at a shallow angle, but just wait until there's a "full 360" view of it like we have for MMC's. (which TFC will never show, we'll have to wait for an in-hand review) I honestly think it's not going to be very apparent until someone has both TFC and MMC in hand, but MMC's design is just so much more "complete". It is awesome and "solid" from every angle. While TFC's is like many modern Hasbro figures---looks good from the front, but "it's not all there" when you look from the sides and rear. (yes, I am very biased at this point)

    I'd take a 30 min show/short comprised of nothing but Transformers conversing, interacting with, and fighting other Transformers, rather than the 6.5 hours of humans and 15 mins of Transformers that Bay has given us so far any day. Basic concept/argument is that rendering CG TF's takes a TON of money, and you need the movie to be "mostly humans" just so that each movie doesn't cost 900 million to make---see above. No producer would fund it, but for a G1 etc fan, 30 mins of "just Transformers, being Transformers" would be better than hours of "Transformers making cameos in a human trilogy". IMHO.
