Black Valkyrie Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 Wow, that last pic of Optimus really looks good. I can't belive the size of hte little succker! How much would it be for it. I kind'o wan't it now. 350096[/snapback] http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...ndpost&p=349393
Kin Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 (edited) I must say, the masterforce version of prime doesn't look so bad at all... even it has a unlogical solution to get it both well proportioned in truck and bot mode. Compared to the masterpiece, the big plus is that it has side windows. Some little cosmetic tweaks and upgrade joints wil do tha trick. masterforce Edited December 7, 2005 by Kin

As it is...bleh.
Matt Random Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 Yesh, it looks like lil' Optimus is trying to pull his Daddy's trailer. The lineart looks nice but unfortunately the prototype looks like two unmatched pieces.
BlueMax Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 hey folks, if any of you are fans of the Takara Transformers, specifically the masterforce and Victory series, note that fansubbs for the former has already been completed and the latter is at episode 2
promethuem5 Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 Pshaw. I want a better bootleg dub set...i've got the ones that go up on ebay all the time, but they are the worst dubs ever.
UN Spacy Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Do you guys know where I can pick up a gun barrel for Alternators Windcharger?
UN Spacy Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Have you guys seen this custom G1 Megs? http://www.marksprojects.com/megatron.htm
ValkJunkie Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 you can try http://www.transrepro.com/autobot1.htm way down at the bottom of the page for a barrel.. i havent bought one from them myself.. but i heard theyre pretty good quality.. although u have to get your own pin now.. they have the smokescreen launchers too and a bunch of other random repros
trueblueeyes Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water....Star Wars Transformers Wave 2
trueblueeyes Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 (edited) Here are the figures and what they transform into for this wave: *Darth Maul/ Sith Infiltrator *Anakin Skywalker/ Jedi Starfighter (repaint from wave 1) *Boba Fett/ Slave I I think the two new ones look just as bad as the figures from the first wave. Edited December 13, 2005 by trueblueeyes
BoBe-Patt Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 ugh... I don't like these lines at all. I might get the bobafett depending on how he looks in person. So far they look like crap!
promethuem5 Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 Well, they were obviosuly designed to look better in vehicle mode, cuz ugh, the bot modes are just unbearable. What marketing dweeb keeps thinking that every property needs a transformable toy line? It didn't work for Marvel superheroes the first time, and the new ones still blow, and these StarWars ones are attrocious too. Transformers don't mix with other properties unless they are fighting each other....
Hikuro Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 I just saw this tonight limited to over 1,000 units, 14 inches tall and is 250 some odd dollars. This thing looks hella nice!
Black Valkyrie Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 I wonder if any of preordered THS-2 G1 Convoy ? cuz the preorder is closed at HLJ.
BoBe-Patt Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 (edited) well, I just placed my order for the regular SD Statue of Ultra Magnus and the Diaclone colored ones. Anybody else ordering this? Edited December 14, 2005 by BoBe-Patt
Southpaw Samurai Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 (edited) 352331[/snapback] That's adorable! It sums up Ultra Magnus in many fans' eyes so succinctly! Edited December 14, 2005 by Southpaw Samurai

Macross73 Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 (edited) That Optimus Prime is very nice but i've got no room for anymore Statues / busts Also, I just saw That Twin moons has the itty bitty Optimus up for Preorder $40.00 but its too small for my tastes i've already got 4 of the MPC Optimus. i dont need a mini version, however I might reconsider it when i see a final product. Maybe if i put a olongs isde a 1/60 Vf-1 Yam, that might work Edited December 15, 2005 by Macross73

trueblueeyes Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 Just got Alternators Sunstreaker and Skids. Alt. Sunstreaker's car mode looks better than the Binaltech version, although the BT version's robot mode looks better. BT Skids is superior in all ways to Alt. Skids. From the weird prepainted decals, two-two metallic flake tint, and the goofy quote on the box.."Speed is immaterial when you've got intelligence. And killer rims." Skids definetly has some appearance issues. That said, I like the transformation and the Scion XB is a fitting G1 update for Skids. All in all, both figures are interesting but I wish I had waited and bought them when they appeared on the U.S. market. It wasn't worth the extra cash to get them early.
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Remeember those happywell car robots that were 1:18 scale and were a landcruiser and supra? Dude in japan has them here, http://members9.tsukaeru.net/ty1_toys/toys/ROADBOT_01.htm Looks huge!
Guppy Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 the landcruiser actually looks great! Shock horror. The Supra could do with a head change but very nice for boots. I remember seeing these around when they first came out but never saw a good photo spread til now.
isamu_dyson Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 You could have more info on the web site www.oeoetoy.com (seen on the box) : there is a 3D tv ad and a transformation guide in .doc format. It's more a binaltech like than a bootleg. Direct link: http://www.oeoetoy.com/RoadBot_Index.asp
Black Valkyrie Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 The Land Cruiser looks nice I wonder if the company who produced them made a transforming jetfighter.
Hikuro Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 Damn that's funny with addign KITT on there, that's like comparing chocolate versus poo........well........sort of. I really need to get on the look out for more alternators, there's still a few that were released last year that I never found like Tracks, and Hound and Deadend.
SDFcommander Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 (edited) That new Prime is looking sweet! Does anyone know if this Hybrid Prime is in the same scale as the other Hybrid Cybertron Prime? Has anyone seen the new re-issue purple Galvatron? It's about time they got the color right. It only took 20 years. Now this is how Galvatron should have looked! It even comes with the Matrix chain that Galvatron wore inside Unicron! Here are some bigger pictures Purple Galvatron Does anyone know if Hasbro will have these? That would be cool if it has sound bites from TF the Movie with phrases from Lenard Nemoy. How big is Galvatron when compared to MPC Prime? Edited December 21, 2005 by SDFcommander
Black Valkyrie Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 Only japanese recording since its the Jap ver. http://www.seibertron.com/toys/gallery.php...&size=0&start=0
wolfx Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 I still think the galvatron toy looks like a pencil sharpener.
Magnus Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 (edited) That new G1 Convoy that's coming out? Fantofan.jp stated that according to the most recent Dengeki Hobby Mag, it was designed by a Mister "Kawamori, S." Interesting eh? Edited December 22, 2005 by Magnus
Magnus Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 What? None of you MW's are going nuts over Kawamori designing a Transformer?? http://www.fantofan.jp/news/mag/dengekihobby/feb2006-6.jpg
capt.actionjackson Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 (edited) Wasn't Kawamori involved with the design of a lot of the original G1 Takara transformers? I recall a post here of a magazine interview Kawamori did and in the article he talked about his involvment with the original transformers designs. *edited for lack of sense and coffee* Edited December 23, 2005 by capt.actionjackson
Hikuro Posted December 26, 2005 Posted December 26, 2005 I just found some pictures of a few of the latest editions like Skids and Sunstreaker and even the prototype of Mirage. Skids looks absolutely ridiculious.....he resembles alot of Hound too.....am I missing something? Sunstreaker looks good, but I don't really know about the black body vynel.....it just seems a tad odd. And Mirage....I have NO clue what he is and I don't know if its already been reported cause I don't come around here too often......but he doesn't look to bad for a prototype.
