Vermillion One Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 I have seen the TRU repaints, but at 29.99 I will pass.
Hoptimus Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Yeah I love the finish on Thundercracker and Skywarp (my favorite), it's like a pearl finish and makes me wish either version of Starscream had that instead of the flat finish. As for making Ramjet, Thrust, and Dirge I'm sure it would be easy for Takara to make them. Here by the way are some custom made figures of the coneheads (not by me unfortunately), they look amazing!

That is some love there!
eriku Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 New from TakaraTomy: Device Label! http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/menu.aspx?menu=1997 I'm a huge lover of gadget-formers so this sort of thing is right up my alley. I'm definitely picking up the USB hub Blaster, not sure about the others yet.
promethuem5 Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 I'm sold on Ravage the USB drive, and probably Blaster just for the figure. Still need ML Soundwave tho... damn expensive. These seem to be more competitively priced as toys with a function.
Vermillion21 Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I have seen the TRU repaints, but at 29.99 I will pass. I know, I know ... but I want Darkwind and I am sitting on a $5 off coupon at TRU valid until the end of April.
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 ML Soundwave tho... damn expensive.HLJ.com has both regular and black ML Soundwaves on clearance, "Soundblaster" is on clearance for $30+shipping....
DHX Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) Even sadder when Eric Siebenaler unveiled some of his original design sketches, showing the walking tank mode...for an ultra sized Galvatron, which was later abandoned when Galvatron was switched to a deluxe. Had it been an ultra like originally planned, I have a feeling that the transformation wouldn't have been a PITA, and that the robot mode would look a TON better. can you point me to those designs?

Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 can you point me to those designs? Spark Blue Soundblaster
Vermillion One Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I know, I know ... but I want Darkwind and I am sitting on a $5 off coupon at TRU valid until the end of April. Even my employee discount cant make it enticing for me at this point...
kaiotheforsaken Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Looks like Fansproject will be doing a triple changer Springer as its first complete custom figure.
VFTF1 Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Looks like Fansproject will be doing a triple changer Springer as its first complete custom figure. Looks like this'll be the first item I get from Fansproject - maybe... Although it would suck if a couple months later Takara-Tomy came out with one Pete
Dangard Ace Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Yeah the Fanprojects guys showed up at TFCon.ca. Really nice guys to talk to....except that there was a huge line to talk to them. haha. I'm looking forward to the Superion parts project. That's supposed to be ready for ordering June/July this year.
VFTF1 Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Superion parts for...whom? For the G1 Arielbots? Pete
Dangard Ace Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/c...ombiner-167418/
kanedaestes Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Finally, I can have an awesome Springer, and Wreck-Gar based on their original designs. Place them with City Commander Magnus, Animated Blur, and Classics Rodimus and have them battle my Unicron.

miles316 Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) This reply is just pure and unadulterated nit piking In episode 52 Auto Bop starscream and shockwave are running a real estate scam by brain washing people in a club and using them as slave labor to build a office building. At the end of the episode after the auto bots foiled their plan they destroyed the building. The building had no apparent evil use other than making the Decepticons money did the auto bots destroy it out of spit or something? Edited April 28, 2009 by miles316
kaiotheforsaken Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) and people loathe Michael Bay... On topic though I dig the Rodimus Prime concepts too. I've been impressed with Fansproject.....projects in the past, but I'm really looking forward to these new ones. Edited April 28, 2009 by kaiotheforsaken

Given it was a Decepticon construct, it should probably be assumed it had some nefarious purpose or feature even if it wasn't explicitly stated. Something like a titanic drill that would extract the Earth's core, causing it to collapse on itself and creating a truly massive diamond.

Nah, that was all about Soundwave thinkin' he could mix beat's better than Blaster. Plus I think they f'd up Bluestreak's paint job, what the autobots did in retaliation was totally justified. Plus the Decepticons got dangerously close to discovering Sparkplug's illegal chopshop.

A unauthorized demolition in the middle of a City with no immediate danger from the structure though using hypnotized slave labor probably meant the building was of Questionable quality. Was that post about Sparkplug's illegal chop shop a joke.
Fit For Natalie Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Yeah, one of the great unknowns of Auto-Bop is just what that building the Decepticons had constructed was supposed to be. From TFWiki.net's article for Auto-Bop: It is never established within the episode itself just what the Decepticons are trying to accomplish with their hypnotize-people-to-construct-a-building plot. However, according to the official Sunbow synopsis included in Metrodome's DVD release: "... the boys and the Autobots pursue Starscream to the skyscraper—a new Decepticon headquarters being constructed by the hypnotized patrons from Dancitron." Oh. Well then. Even sadder when Eric Siebenaler unveiled some of his original design sketches, showing the walking tank mode...for an ultra sized Galvatron, which was later abandoned when Galvatron was switched to a deluxe. Had it been an ultra like originally planned, I have a feeling that the transformation wouldn't have been a PITA, and that the robot mode would look a TON better. I doubt it was Eric Siebenaler who answered that, since he's in charge of Animated and doesn't design any Universe toys. You probably mean Bill Rawley. can you point me to those designs? Here you go:

People who know me on here know it's all about the motorcycles for me, so I'm just looking at Arcee here... Ok, I agree she looks pretty bad here. I assume, however, that her robot mode looking so bad, and Chromia's robot mode looking so bad, mean they combine with the third bike to make a larger, hopefully better looking, robot.
crasis Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 B-b-but... I HATE the twins! Everything about them! I hate their awful head designs, their Jar Jar-esque roles in the film, the fact that Michael Bay created them just to have "dumb Transformers"... how can their combined mode be so...so... AWESOME?! The ice cream truck combiner is the most ridiculous and awesome thing I've ever seen. I NEED one!

miles316 Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Arcee dosen even look like a transformer looks like some one wrapped a motorcycle around a light pole.
RavenHawk Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) Thanks to TFW2005.com, I found these : My kids and I have a long-standing in-joke about ice cream trucks being the physical embodiment of pure evil on Earth... though I normally only buy motorcycle Transformers, and as much as I agree with you 100% on the hatred of these Jar Jar Binks type characters being added to this movie... I think I may have to buy this as well. Thanks for the link, too. Arcee dosen even look like a transformer looks like some one wrapped a motorcycle around a light pole. Like I said before, I'm just hoping a combined, bigger form makes up for how awful and sloppy this is... Edited May 5, 2009 by RavenHawk
