  1. Not too long ago someone made a custom dinobot combiner from the G1 toys and called it Extinction. It looked pretty cool and you could tell the creator put a lot of work into it. It made me wonder what HasTak could do with new dinobots or even Predaking. It seems like animals are mostly ignored as alt modes recently.
  2. Sure, it's a great idea. But it's still a PCC with no individual bot modes. Wouldn't it be great if Hasbro can expand that idea to a Deluxe sized scale for each limb with all the engineering prowess they gained between now and 1985?
  3. I guess a couple of them wouldn't look so bad flanking a Classics Cyclonus...
  4. I was thinking Perceptor was going to be a tank, but a half-track? I can dig it. But where are the bad guys?
  5. First look at the next Generations line (Jazz!): Cybertron Convention
  6. Weird, I would've had him pegged as a Naruto or even a Fruits Basket fan. MP Rodimus looks very promising. The trailer looks bigger than it should be in the rear, but that's just a minor quibble. I too am getting the vibe that Hot Rod is in there somewhere as kanedaestes pointed out. I also got Hasbro's 30 day notice email regarding MP Grimlock. I would definitely be peeved if my order ends up getting canned. Speaking of getting canned, did Evac (ROTF Blazemaster redeco) get cancelled? I thought he would've been on the shelves by now. I had plans of making it look like a Coast Guard heli.
  7. It looks like TRU was flooded with WFC Prime and Bumblebee toys this weekend. Peg and Thrust were there too but in smaller quantities. After fiddling around with him a bit, I can safely say that Peg is a great toy, and larger than most of the Classics/Henkei stuff I have. He's definitely less of a joke to me now, and I just might pick up Blurr seeing as how much I like this sculpt.
  8. Seeing the new TF:Prime designs reminded me of how I felt when I saw the TFA sketches for the first time. So if the story and writing is good it just might win me over too. Although Arcee and Cliffjumper look great from the get-go. I'm going to have to track down that shelf warming 2 pack of Bludgeon and Whirl from TRU after seeing this: Headrobots' Blood. That skull head looks great and I'm liking the cannon parts.
  9. Alright! Priss got herself a new motoslave! Oh wait...
  10. I got the same email from Hasbro. As long as my order isnt cancelled outright I'm happy. The weird thing is that when I placed my order the listing said the price was cut from $99.99. I didn't think MP Grimlock was supposed to cost that much.
  11. I gave up the hunt: TRU's site has MP Grimlock available for preorder for $60 with free shipping on orders over $49. And HTS has the new Scouts Hubcap and Brimstone in stock if anyone else wants to save gas on toy runs .
  12. Dang, that thing is huge! It looks like it might give Unicron a run for its money. Speaking of oversized, when is Warpath going to get his treatment? Powerglide and Seaspray are all in, but Warpath got assed out when Hasbro handed out the biggifying pills. I know I'd be down for a big red tank that said "Bang!" and "Pow!" all the time.
  13. I picked up SHOUT's DVD set of the final 33 episodes of G1 at a Target today. $20 for season 3 & 4 on 4 discs-not bad.
  14. Peg is MW's unofficial moniker for Drift, the best TF ever made. EVER.
  15. The new TFs are hitting the stores here, and all I got was Seaspray and Legends Ravage. No Peg or Thrust yet, and no sign of the new Scouts either. Passed up on WFC Prime and Bumblebee and the new Hunt for the Decepticon deluxes. I finally got to see Leader Starscream, and his bot mode looks very imposing indeed. I ended up passing on him also, since his alt mode just doesn't do it for me.
  16. I found this site while searching for Yuzo Koshiro's stuff: Streets of Rage Online. Being a big fan of the series, I had to try out the SoR Remake under the fan games section-it's REALLY good! Fan drawn cutscenes, multi-path gameplay, and the return of Adam (complete with remade sprites just for him). Also check out the work done on SoR IV, it looks very promising!
  17. They call it Elegy, nice. Ill pass on these- Im content with my deluxe sized conehead seekers. And they didnt cost me an arm and a leg like these "MP"s will.
  18. Some great news from the panels today: Hasbro Panel I'm excited about the Jazz figure, but I'm not sure if it's from Generations or WFC.
  19. Yeesh. That alt mode looks like an WWII experiment gone wrong. Terradive and Tomahawk look decent though. Tomahawk reminds me of a beefed up Russian Havoc.
  20. Peg's cool and all, but I'm more excited about Tomahawk and Terradive (bot mode's got a Trident-woot!)in Wave 3.
  21. Loving it - two awe-inspiring builds of this monster in one month. Thanks for showing it off, vf_1s, because it's definitely a piece of art.
  22. Yep, I never had an NES, but I always played Zanac at my friend's house. I never beat that game either! Heh, I remember Silkworm. Many a quarter did it take from me. My cousin and I always had to flip a coin to see who gets to play as the chopper. During the 16-bit era my faves included the Phantasy Star series and the Shinobi games, especially the last one.
  23. Speaking of Compile, somewhere in the deep recesses of my memories lies a nagging urge to beat Power Strike (Aleste)for my SMS. I never did beat that game.
  24. I...want....
  25. I got a chance to do some touch-ups and some experimentation with TFA Arcee and Henkei Sunstreaker this week. With Arcee I outlined the eyes and added color to her lips and chin: Close up 1 Close up 2 Body I was afraid to do any more to her as I'd probably screw it up. I definitely like her a lot more now with those facial features coming out. Next comes my first attempt with dye and a TF. This is what Sunstreaker looks like out of the package:Undyed SS. I never did like the gray parts and vowed to do something about it whenever I had the time. I also placed an order with Reprolabels during the interim. Here are the results: Before After Side View 1 Side View 2 Front View Underside Front View (Bot) 3/4 View Bot Rear View (Bot) The twins The twins (alt) Dying is messy and takes some time, but it turned out to be well worth it!
