    Yeah, I reckon Sunstreaker would be a prime candidate for a 3rd party figure. I still have some hope that Takara would make their own toy of Mirage though. Does your Revoltech Megatron need company? Check out these Revoltech style 'cons.

    If the waist was yellow on Bii, I would definitely be in the same boat as you.

    I can only hope that a MP Jazz would look just as good as this Wheeljack. I'm real curious about that weird seam on his chest though.

    Progress with the toy line is painfully slow, but the Armarauders FB page hints at a collaboration with Sentinel, and maybe even some news during the Winter Wonder Festival in Japan.

    If there wasn't an official one coming down the pipe, I would've seriously considered getting this: ToyWorld BB.

    This little beauty came in today. I was worried about the paint quality for Smokescreen, but that fear was put to rest after a quick inspection; the colors are vibrant and applied neatly with little abberations. His joints are rather tight though, much tighter than Prowl's. Of note is that Smokescreen doesn't have the hollow shoulder cannon mounts like those found on Prowl. He instead has small, extendable blue nubs for his unique shoulder blasters. So far TakaTomy is 3 for 3 with the latest MPs!

    Fully combined FansProject Menasor, now in full color. Not too shabby.

    Nee ha! Bloodia finally arrived from HLJ. SAL is cheap but it sure does take its sweet time. This thing is better than I expected. Included with the figure are the cannon shield, two hands with articulated fingers, the beam "bit", a square base, and an articulated stand. Good heft, neat paint applications, and great joint engineering make for one awesome toy to fiddle around with. My only complaint is that sometimes the right arm comes off the shoulder joint too easily, and that the seams are very blatant on the legs and shoulders. Blodia's very easy to pose and the joints are tight enough to hold some precarious positions. Bottom line, this figure is a real joy to behold especially for one who likes industrial, stocky mecha.

    Those elevator shoes on MP Grimlock look plain dumb, there's no way I'd be slapping those clod kickers on my MP-08. I think they look even worse on his back. If that's FT's solution to keep Grimmy taller, then it's probably too late to hope that they would shrink down their Slag. That being said, FT's Slag looks cool, and I wouldn't it being a little taller than Grimmy.

    I have no clue. Perhaps a Macross Frontier track? So about video game music, Taito fans should check this out-it's ZUNTATA rockin' out live with a killer shamisen solo:

    Finally got MP Prowl ($60 shipped with the launcher-not too bad!). He's great, really makes the G1 fanboy in me squeal with glee. The only thing I had an issue with is the thick layer of white paint on his head; it's not evenly applied and results in a bump on his forehead. Despite that, it's a wonderful toy and gives me a lot of faith in the upcoming MPs.

    Sideshow Toys now has my full attention: "Call Me Snake."

    Yeah, and it makes for a killer toy. It's definitely not lineart accurate compared to Figueroa's design, but it's close enough. I know a group called Master Collectables made a far more accurate version of Nova Prime, but it was more expensive and only a few actually made it to production. As far as MMC's version is concerned, rumor has it that it may not even be made.

    Sweet-preorder submitted!

    Finally got some time to take a few pics of HyperNovae. Once I made sense of the transformation and got everything to lock together, it's a pretty solid toy. Paint apps are neat, plastic quality is superb and the material feels durable. Needless to say, with the wings on it gets top heavy, but I was able to get it to stand on its own in that fourth pic. Included were transparent orange parts that can be inserted into the wing recesses, but I haven't put them on yet. Also included were silver stickers that may be used instead of the orange parts. I still don't know if I should the stickers, the orangey bits, or both .

    Kawamori himself designed that thing. Despite the less than stellar alt mode, it's a pretty cool toy for its size.
  17. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Sorry, I haven't gotten to take pics of my HyperNovae, I'm still out of town Did you get it from Maketoys' site?

    Need hot blooded motivation with a Japanese flavor? There's always the legend himself, Hotei Tomayasu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkIMBCKnSdw He's quite the talent, and do check out the translation.

    I see your Stan Bush, and raise you ANOTHER Stan Bush! When throwing that Dim Mak to a pit fighter's nuts, only one song should be coursing through your body: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYLOGDT4VEk This song always helps on the long drives home: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKhfkfnbAMQ

    A few motivational songs. Love this guy: Good ol' Cheap Trick (and Tomcat porn!): More proof that Parker and Stone are lyrical geniuses:

    Mine is this one; unashamedly sweet and syrupy: Since we're dealing with this era, here is my favorite rendition of THIS song; Sumner sings in a slightly more melodramatic fashion compared to the album cut:

    Sad news indeed, and he was only 66 years old. His books kept me company all those years ago when I was waiting to be picked up from school at the library. Many thanks Mr. Clancy.

    They can if TakaTomy never makes updated combiners, or an Arcee, or updated Shockwave, etc. I just wonder if MP Magnus will stick with the G1 formula of having a white Prime "core" or none at all. Heh, now this rejected storyboard from the movie can be recreated: Nevermind, we still don't have a MP Tracks .

    Dang, if it's gonna be anything to close to that artwork, it'll look so much better than any of the 3rd party offerings.
