Anubis Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Let's not forget Astrotrain, who after leaving Autobot City in the movie had all the remining decepticons from the fight in his cargo hold and had a ceiling height tall enough to let the constructicons combine in.
eriku Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Hey, that's why his name is Astrotrain and not just Train. He's a super-sci-fi freaky-deaky morphin' magic space train! Laws of physics don't apply!

ManxoChu Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 FYI, folks, Cybertron toys have been spotted at the Simi Valley Walmart. Scourge (at least 4) Uber-Starscream (lots X_x) Vector Prime (top shelf by the model car kits) Scattershot/Backpack Mini-Con team (I think) I forget the rest. Sorry about that. Anyway, happy hunting. Also, no Alts there. T_T
DiacloneTruth Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 All these inconsistancies would not have happened had the line stayed Diaclone, Microman, Dorvack etc.......

Black Valkyrie Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 Welcome to MW. I know, some how I would prefer if the Japanese had made the Diaclone anime. As I know Toei had the rights to it and Mikimoto was the character designer but it was scrapped due to money issues it was around in mid 84.
BoBe-Patt Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 not sure if this is posted yet, but the next reissue looks like galvatron anime colors!
GreenGuy42 Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 Rock on! Assuming I'm not flat broke, I might snag one of these... always loved his anime colors.
Black Valkyrie Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 Very good but I think he needs to be made into the MPC line.
wolfx Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 Haha...galvatron was one of the fugliest gen1 toys around. I always though he looked like a fugly pencil sharpener.

Skippy438 Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 There are plenty of all of them at the target in Rock Hill, South Carolina ...
Guppy Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 I just found pics of the new Skids over at the tfw boards.. my wife saw them and commented that he "looks like a turtle with boobs". http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/thread79333.html
zeo-mare Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 so they are going to keep the flames? cool i am glad they are useing a new mold for this one. i wonder who the first repaint will be? all red ironhide maybe? chris

I agree, a red ironhide would be the obvious choice. or Traildreaker or Brawn could be other possibles.

I agree, a red ironhide would be the obvious choice. or Traildreaker or Brawn could be other possibles. 317844[/snapback] Well, if Tak/Hasbro has DMC's permission (ala Viper,) I'd put Ironhide as a Ram and Brawn as a Jeep Liberty or somesuch.. Come to think of it, considering Brawn's utilitarian nature, wouldn't a Nissan XTerra be more appropreate?
zeo-mare Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 yea i would love to see ironhide as something different than a scion. but for the most part we see alot of repaints before we see new molds. so you know there wil be a few more of this before they give us something new again. chris
NSJ23 Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 I still don't know if I like prowl, but I bought both BT versions for some reason.

I wasn't too wild about Sideswipe but bought him anyway. I did the boot mod and like him a lot now. I'm trying to stop myself from buying Shockwave as already have a Meister but my will is eroding..
rive Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 I still don't know if I like prowl, but I bought both BT versions for some reason. 317863[/snapback] I do that too. Though I buy them because I like to consider these repaints like red Meister, yellow Tracks, and blue Prowl to be different Autobots and not the same character with a different paint scheme. Though it is kind of odd for me to consider yellow Tracks a repaint seeing as how he came out first.

Shockwave is rockin the Mazdaspeed kit...Meister is bone stock. Edited August 6, 2005 by VF Strike Valk

Black Valkyrie Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 (edited) I read it, indeed very bad no more Takara since we knew when were kids. I mean why ? are they not making good business with all these TF merchadise. So what`s the new company`s name now : Tomykara Edited August 9, 2005 by Black Valkyrie

That is the STUPIDEST company name ever. As for the TF merchandise, I admit that I have no interest in 95% of it, but still, I like to see TF becoming mainstream again. I have this hope that one day it will reach Gundam levels of recognition in Japan.
VF-0S FAN Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Damn My BT-16 Wildrider preorder has just been cancelled by hlj because the release date has been postponed by Takara

eriku Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 anyone else concerned this might mean the end of all transformers? or worse, hasbro will start designing them again O.o 318967[/snapback] You know I heard that along with dissolving Takara, Tomy is going to literally dissolve all Transformers toys and merchandise in a giant Wonka-like vat of acid. Not only that, but trannies are going to be mailed special "golden tickets" to come to Japan with their TF toys and be dissolved as well.
