NSJ23 Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 got..... to ............ try ........to........not......open..........aghhhhhhhhhh! I just got my #7 Smoky and this bad boy is coming out of the box. Quote
Veifwan Es Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 I just got my #7 in too, but it is magically sealed shut in the form of a christmas present from my wife. Poor ol' smokey's gonna be crying for release from his MISB prison in the closet for a month plus.....Nooooooooo! Quote
UN Spacy Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 Well. I just got mine today.....and if this is supposed to be in scale with Masterpiece Prime. I hope we see a lot mre 1:24 scale Transformers..... Quote
Veifwan Es Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 I hope we see a lot mre 1:24 scale Transformers..... I would genuinely be dissapointed if they changed the scale. That was my biggest beef with G1(the only other TF I collected) even as a little tyke! Quote
eriku Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 Heh, I found a driver for Smokescreen. He even has a matching outfit. http://www.angelfire.com/geek/czahr/ILikeFunny.html Quote

Solscud007 Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 Got my #7 two days ago its so pretty how the hell do you put the legs back together? in car mode? Quote
VF-0S FAN Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 Got my #7 two days ago its so pretty how the hell do you put the legs back together? in car mode? You're lucky man . I'll get mine within a week and I cross my fingers for a #7 2003 word champion Quote
eriku Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 how the hell do you put the legs back together? in car mode? I'd explain how, but it usually takes me about 20 minutes to get it from bot to car, so I probably shouldn't be giving out advice. Quote
GobotFool Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 You transform this guy very carefully and not that often. Chips will happen and are inevidable sadly. Thats what the cheap alternators version is for Quote
91WhiskeyM6 Posted November 16, 2003 Posted November 16, 2003 Nothing wrong with that Beats going to work and school Quote
Shade Posted November 16, 2003 Posted November 16, 2003 And coming soon from Takara, we have the first Binaltech repaint. Probably Bluestreak, from the name. Quote
VF-0S FAN Posted November 16, 2003 Posted November 16, 2003 And coming soon from Takara, we have the first Binaltech repaint. Probably Bluestreak, from the name. I heard that future Binaltechs should be a Jeep Wrangler as Trailbreaker or Hound and a Chevy Corvette as Bluestreak... A repaint Binaltech ? A good idea for Takara to lower the production costs like for G1 Transformers but I really want different cars Quote
Shade Posted November 16, 2003 Posted November 16, 2003 Well, the Wrangler and Corvette have been confirmed as the next designs, yeah, but I'm willing to bet that Takara saw the sales for Smokescreen and responded, "Repaint it! Repaint it NOW!" And the 'Vette's going to be Tracks. We all know it. Quote
Myriad Posted November 16, 2003 Posted November 16, 2003 Alternators....... Looking good..... But how long will it be before the fanboys find something about them to cry about................ Quote
Smut Peddler Posted November 16, 2003 Posted November 16, 2003 Alternators....... Looking good..... But how long will it be before the fanboys find something about them to cry about................ I think their bot modes make them look like they "play for the other team" if you know what I mean. J/K Me likes Alternators. Quote
NSJ23 Posted November 16, 2003 Posted November 16, 2003 Alternators....... Looking good..... But how long will it be before the fanboys find something about them to cry about................ Man where have you been? For Weeks now they have been complaining about paint chips, Hasblow vs Takara, Die cast VS Plastic, etc, etc, etc...... <_< Quote
Myriad Posted November 16, 2003 Posted November 16, 2003 Man where have you been? For Weeks now they have been complaining about paint chips, Hasblow vs Takara, Die cast VS Plastic, etc, etc, etc...... LOL! You dance with Diecast you pay the price of paint chips. I saw some rumblings at TF2005 and Bottalk. I just mostly look at the news on those sites though. I like to cut through the fanboy chase. Quote
UN Spacy Posted November 17, 2003 Posted November 17, 2003 Interesting......so that makes two Subaru's and one Dodge. I hope that Takara acquired the Cadillac license.........can you say IRONHIDE ESCALADE? Quote
MrDisco Posted November 17, 2003 Posted November 17, 2003 there's also a rumour that the viper could be repainted yellow to make Sunstreaker. if thats true i would be disappointed. Quote
NSJ23 Posted November 17, 2003 Posted November 17, 2003 I hope that Takara acquired the Cadillac license.........can you say IRONHIDE ESCALADE? More like Trail Breaker than IronHide, But that would be sick. Quote
wyaxyz Posted November 18, 2003 Posted November 18, 2003 All I can add to this topic is: what will Megatron look like???????? Quote
Prowlus Posted November 18, 2003 Posted November 18, 2003 Hope they have more diversity next year. I don't want to have a line thats all car orientated gimme a transforming jet or a tank any day over a car Quote
Axelay Posted November 18, 2003 Posted November 18, 2003 Well, there's always hope for the Decepticons. I'm just pleased to know that it's been verified that we will see them in this line. Perhaps I'll resurrect my poll about who will be the first. Quote
Skippy438 Posted November 18, 2003 Posted November 18, 2003 I think a black Skyline would make a good decepticon. Starscream perhaps? Or maybe a Lanevo to compete with the Autobot's Subarus. How about a Honda Element, those things seem pretty evil on their own ... Quote
MrDisco Posted November 18, 2003 Posted November 18, 2003 i just PRAY they dont come out with a honda civic with 6ft unpainted bolted on wing, Type-R stickers, clear tailights, and a popcan muffler. Quote

How about a Honda Element, those things seem pretty evil on their own ... If Starscream turns out to be anything but a modern jet it will be the time I quit collecting that line. =/ Quote
NERV Posted November 18, 2003 Posted November 18, 2003 prime = ford F-650 megs = some truck of equal size of different brand, do the rams go up to 6500? Quote
Skippy438 Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 Prime will probably end up as an H2 or something Quote
VF-0S FAN Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 just got my Smoky . Unfortunatelly it is #8 so no pig heads on the rear view mirrors but Makkinen as the pilot ( He's known all over the world ) Quote
ShadowerV2 Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Ok just out of curiosity how tall is the thing? Let's not compare it against models or scales or anything. Just how tall is it in inches or cm? I'm dying to know. Thanks Quote

Just 1 thing, I'm sure you'll break down and buy it Quote
ComicKaze Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 (edited) Why are you guys so excited over having #7 vs #8? I have #8, you are making me jealous with your enthusiam. Granted, Solberg has more future in WRC while Makinnen is old news. Plus Hasbro's Alternator will only be #8 so I guess you guys have more of an exclusive with extra piggy decals on your mirrors. I'm just disappointed that this line is definetely going to be very American friendly/American oriented because most of the cars announced are all North American versions. We have a Viper, Corvette, and I read a Jeep is next (not neccessarily hound), but the Streak repaint which may be a street STi. I was just hoping for a Mitsu Lan Evo And believe me, Prime is huge compared to this guy. Remember, Prime is the cab of a truck and that's huge compared to a sedan. I've seen comparison pics where Smokescreen is only 2/3rds Prime's height. BTW, here's a pic showing that all the doors/hood/trunk can be opened just like a diecast 1:24.
