Majestic Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Any word at all on a possible MP-03? Or is the masterpiece line pretty much dead?
NSJ23 Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Anyone else dissapointed with the $50 US Starscream from Cybertron. They just blew up the small one. His damn hands look like bricks. I think I will wait for the 2 pack with the smaller one. 312141[/snapback] Thanks to some pay pal coupons I got the GF one off ebay for under $40. After I saw the supreme one at TRU I knew I didn't want it and after I saw the Pics of the two-pack I bought GF Vector Prime on E-bay too.
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 THe next masterpiece is king exikaizer from the braves series. But his numerical designation and letters and stuff are MPBR-01 I think. Not sure. Renato did you see the galaxy force soundwave on that early bird page you linked?>? Scroll down when you click it...it looks pretty nice! Has lazerbeak..and either his minicon turns into lazerbeak or turns into his gun...not sure. Lazerbeak can go in his chest though I think. Metallic GF convoy from the EZ line is packed with megalo convoy to show scale....megalo convoy athough big is not too =scale as the other figures...so EZ convoy is included to show how big he is really supposed to be in comparison.
ValkJunkie Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Ah crap.. Looks like the BTA line is gonna be pricey.. being packaged in bot mode and with bigger boxes.. looks nice tho.. wonder how expensive they'll eventually be for ppl in the US.. Sunstreaker and Alert look awesome.. but those toy chicks are killing me.. why Takara?
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 If you don't want the chicks just get the alternators version, which WON'T come with the chicks. The chicks are a takara only thing.
Solscud007 Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Did you guys see the Alternators Sunstreaker at COmic con? Also yes the Fire COnvoy and Ultramagnus two pack coems out this fall for only 31.99 at Costco. Yeah costco!!! I have been wanting to get these two guys.For a while. I used to have them but returned them to TRU after likea week. Now I can get them for a decent price yeah!!! And did you guys see the mini GF Skywarp, starscream repaint SDCC exlcusive? http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/5981/dsc028068oj.jpg
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Funny thing is, right now BTA sunstreaker is plain yellow., alternator sunstreaker has yellow AND the racing stripes! I guess this compensates for not coming with a girl.
Gunbuster Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Anyone know if they are making a new Transformer game?
Smiley424 Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 that would be cool to see another Transformers game. the one on PS2 based on Armada was pretty good, though I heard the one released in Japan and based on G1 tanked hard.
eriku Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 I'm very sad to see that there is still a lack of WST figures...I was really hoping we'd at least get the Tracks, Skids and Megatron parts that were shown over a year ago.
BoBe-Patt Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 did you guys see this yet? Blue BT Prowl? WTF is this? I hate all these repaints that we don't even see in the cartoon. I'm soo not buying anymore BT's and Alts, unless they come out with a better looking one. Red alert I will buy but to only switch out heads with Prowl and make the real BT/ALT Prowl.
zeo-mare Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 (edited) i actually like the new prowl, i do not want the blue one however just the police version. it is nice to have one that transforms alittle different than the others so i do not mind if it is not exactly like the G-1. to be honest i do not want anymore that transform like Smokescreen and Silverstreak i want something alittle newer so i do not mind it. i however am getting really sick of all the repaints they need to make more new ones not more repaints, that and some seeker jets. chris Edited July 20, 2005 by zeo-mare
KiriK Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Will it be the original colours, or will it be a whole new colour scheme? 311600[/snapback] Same colors as the original release. 311602[/snapback] When i saw the TF's at Comic Con, the Cybertron 2-pack seems to have a different color scheme... at least for Starscream... i wish i woulda taken pics.... but the starscream looked dark bluish with some red on it... kinda like Final Battle Armada Prime if you ask me..... The RID Prime and Magnus two-pack seems to be original..... i'm definitely gonna pick one of these up for the price... =] although i already have the original set... Omega Prime is one of the meanest incarnations of Prime in all his forms.... and i have them all!!! haha...
eriku Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Actually I'm really happy they're making the blue Prowl. I don't like the fist version. F--- da police.
VF-0S FAN Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 As I like cars and bot; I really don't mind the repaints : Blue Prowl will be in car mode and Cop Prowl in Bot mode
treatment Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 well, TRU had it tonite so I got it. I present to you: Autobot Swerve. with Jazz and Gir:
NSJ23 Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 well, TRU had it tonite so I got it. I present to you:Autobot Swerve. with Jazz and Gir: 312797[/snapback] I bought one last week but didn't open him yet. looks nice but I already have two Vettes on display and little space on my Binaltech/Alternator shelf.
GreenGuy42 Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 I've been lookin' for one, but TRU here told me that they sell out right when they open, and seeing as I work during that time.... Some guy there told me it's an employee who buys 'em, too.
zeo-mare Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 no surprise that a employee is buying them he probably knows they are worth something, if i recall this on on ebay can fetch $40.00 or more . chris
Fit For Natalie Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Some interesting upcoming stuff:http://www.fantofan.jp/earlybirdsp.htm Colour pics of the Asterisk line with the girl figures, plus the new "Transformer EZ" line. First I've heard of this: It seems theres gonna be yet ANOTHER version of Galaxy Convoy (and Megs and SScream), this time 9cm tall and at a bargain price point. It'll probably be all PVC. 312154[/snapback] Nah. The EZ versions plastic toys. They are simply better painted versions of Hasbro's Legends of Cybertron toys, which are tiny, cheap versions of the major players in the Cybertron line. The metallic EZ Galaxy Convoy that comes with Megalo Convoy is there to represent the cartoon scale.

Eh, if I find Swerve, awesome. Otherwise, I'm sure I'll survive. lol
VF Strike Valk Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Just wait for the hype to die down. I was able to get every alternator at either Toy r Us or Target.
BoBe-Patt Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 man, I must've ran into 20 swerves yesterday at target. no decepticharge though.

I went to the Simi and Moorpark ones and they had nothing. The Porter Toys R Us had some Grimlocks, Swindles and one Shockwave(the one I took back). Edited July 21, 2005 by VF Strike Valk
VF-19 Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 It's official: Ottawa, Ontario sucks for Alternators. My local Wal-Mart and TRU isn't carrying Alternators anymore... Grr... At least there's online...

Just as long as you save me one!
zeo-mare Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 well i finally got my first Binaltech today he is quite awesome, i am worried about scraping the paint however. i will never get used to grimlock being a car, but he makes a damn fine one. chris
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 Chris don't worry about ol grimmy scratching man. Just make sure you nudge the shoulders outwards a bit so they do not scratch the side of the front in robot mode, other than that,...have fun! I find the binaltechs to be more DURABLE than alternators....the only thing alternators got over them is lower price and balance. Binaltechs aren't nearly as fragile...so to me they are DEFINITELY TOYS!!
zeo-mare Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 actually lately the alternators do not even have the price thing going for them anymore, in MA you still cannot find tracks and hound yet so the only place to get them is ebay and most of them on there are as much as the binaltechs. i would rather have the diecast import versions for that price. chris
RFT Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 Chris don't worry about ol grimmy scratching man. I'e got to disagree about this- out of my BT collection, grimlock's been the worst for sratching by a very, very long way. the tramsformation is such that it causes a lot more metal-metal contact than any of the others, making my grim's doors and front bodywork look like they're had rocks thrown at them. it's not like he's hand any mroe attention of transformations than my tracks, smokes GT, Meister, or lambor, but he already looks like a 10-year-old toy. my wheeljack is going to be an Alt version, as I don't want it to happen again. the mustang is my favourite BT mould from an easthetic POV, but the risk of scratches is way higher. there is a chance, I guess, that it's the silver paint used or I just got a duff one, but I don't want to risk it, really.

I do Pop the doors and arms off on purpose now but the front bodywork on mine is fine.
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 Yup...I think according to the binaltech tf guide I bought last month, the arms are actually meant to pop off...and the doors too. I hope to god that the next binaltechs are a lot easier to transform than grimmy and tracks. Shockblast and Meister's transformation..as well as sideswipe and override....equates to pure PERFECTION to me.
UN Spacy Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 Jeez. WHY did they make BT/AT Grimlock so DAMN HARD to transform? No wonder I've left it in Robot Mode for so long......it's annoying trying to get it back into Vehicle Mode.
