    After much time and drama, it looks like Spinout is finally hitting the market. Despite the changes, I still prefer its look over Sunsurge's.

    I got their respective sets on reprolabels, and while I used them sparingly, I did end up putting the con symbols where they were supposed to go. Except for DF and TB. DF is sporting black transparent symbols from a vendor in etsy, and TB is wearing a silver con symbol from reprolabels. My Diesel got the same placement as yours, but I used a raised, silver-backed symbol for Intimidator's chest. In general I don't like splitting markings when they have to go over two separate parts for transformation, even if it goes against what they look like canonically. Oh yeah, I ended up getting FP Mindwipe. That sale price was good enough for me.

    I have Smart Robin and Code from the Function X line. Both are great figures that have fun and clever transformations. I'd go so far to say that they made me a Headmaster fan. I've been meaning to get their Mindwipe as well, but other things kept popping up.

    Holy crap.

    If you end up liking Intimidator as much as I did, do consider getting the DMY D-06 upgrade kit. The main reason to get the kit was to give Down Force a G1 makeover, but I liked the parts for combined mode even more. The kit gives Intimidator a filled out, defined abdomen, stronger ratchets for his ankle tilts, arm filler parts for the elbow + forearm, and a small red chest piece. (I forgot to replace the Shadow Fisher elbow filler parts with the DMY ones in my pic!) The kit also gives you additional pieces so you can choose if you want the ab piece, arm fillers, and elbow fillers to be black or gray. As far as the Down Force parts go, it's ingenious and gives DF yellow, wider feet to replace his dainty purple ones. Unfortunately, you have to remove them for alt mode to be stored in the rear of the car, with its black ball joints sticking out. The additional set of wheels and front wing is nice, but it just makes DF more fiddly in bot mode.

    Yeah, Hova is still dead in the water. I'm hoping it's because of a redesign. Its legs looked like it needed work.
  7. Valkyrie Hunter D
    You're gonna have to be on the ball to get 'em. They're gonna be made in limited numbers and quite pricey too.

    MP Inferno rumors? The fact that the teaser is on Takara's mall website makes me think it may not be a rumor.
  9. Valkyrie Hunter D
    I thought this kit was not gonna go through, but awesomely, I was mistaken. Now if only something like this could be made for Generations Jetfire.
  10. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Wow, it seems like you went from 0-60 in like 3 seconds to scratch your 3rd party combiner itch.

    1/17 would be around 7 inches? Seeing that one pic that shows how the prorotype is being propped up makes me think this is a big figure. Regardless of what size this thing is, I just want it to reach production stages!
  12. Valkyrie Hunter D
    No release date yet. The only number I could understand was the scale.
  13. Valkyrie Hunter D
    I found some more info regarding that big MADOX from Wonderfest from this guy's twitter feed. So, let's say the MADOX-01 is around 10 feet tall. At 1/7 scale, this toy would be a little over a foot tall.
  14. Valkyrie Hunter D
    More pics of the Action Toys GoBots. I'm really liking the stumpy Tank!
  15. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Not necessarily true. It's a crap shoot, I think. I have a Hasbro and a Takara one, and both are just as good. What you read could just be talk from people who automatically believe that Takara MPs are naturally better than the Hasbro releases.

    Congrats, I'm still having fun with mine, and I still haven't plugged in any of his accessories. I dunno about Hot Rod's Speed and Courage, but Judgement should be a 0.
  17. Valkyrie Hunter D
    I got high hopes for Darkwing and Dreadwind. If they're going to be as good as Ironwill, that is. Uranos isn't ALL bad. I think the limbs make ok jets, it's just TFC's version of Silverbolt that completely borked everything up in a big way.

    I had my doubts too, especially with the "tires for butt cheeks" thing, but after finally getting to handle him, those things didn't seem to matter too much. His paint and finish is superb, I didn't run into any floppiness with his joints, and the face sculpts are spot on. Looking at his bot mode, it's a wonder to think it all folds up tightly into a vanette. I have to note too that the transformation is forgiving; as all the parts comes together, it all just fits if that makes any sense. I guess I'm just used to 3rd party stuff where all the tabs and locks have to be lined up perfectly for proper transformations. In any case, Ironhide makes a great MP.
  19. Valkyrie Hunter D
    They are essentially the same, just different heads and colors. My Exhaust is just as tight and solid as WJ. Have you considered getting Ironhide? His transformation is complex as MPs go, but also very fun IMO.
  20. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Complex, intricate transformation and solid alt modes? They are not MPs, but have you handled a Binaltech or an Alternity TF?
  21. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Useless easter egg time: you can make the pilot on the left blink by holding down one of the buttons on the controller.
  22. Valkyrie Hunter D
    It's a slippery slope, but still a fun ride.
  23. Valkyrie Hunter D
    So for this new Red Alert, the "CHIEF" marking only appears in bot mode, not in alt mode?
  24. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Once I actually get to go home and unpack my Quantron, I hope to have something far more constructive to offer. All I can say for now is that Afterburner as a Tron light cycle was an excellent idea

    I got the reprolabel set for Sphinx; overall it's a great set. I didn't use all the labels, there were some markings that seemed unecessary. There is no dedicated Autobot logo for the front of the car/bot chest. You will have to get a set of their plain Autobot symbols to cover up the "26". Problem is I don't know if there is one that is big enough to cover it up properly. The same goes for the tampo printed "ell".
