Guest sh002 Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) i think hasbro should repaint rts bumblebee red with a new head and then make a rerelease of cliffjumper. the original classics version had an ugly paint scheme and was hard to find. Edited February 19, 2011 by sh002
anime52k8 Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Heads up for those in Northern CA: finally, mixed in with the wall of Mindwipes and Fallbacks, I found the next RTS wave at Target! I picked up a Wreck-Gar, Perceptor, and G2 Prime. They must've had a few assortment cases arrive since were a quite a few Bumblebees in there. Of slim pickings were Perceptor and Wreck-Gar. yeah, found G2 prime last monday, no wreck-gar or perceptor though. I've yet to see a single RtS voyager yet. I really want to pick up Grapple, is he even out yet? for that matter, has anyone seen thundercracker/wheeljack yet?

Yeah, it's weird how Classics BB got 5 or 6 repaints yet Cliffjumper never even got a Takara release. No Grapple, not even Lugnut. Can't wait for Windcharger though.

kaiotheforsaken Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Had Tracks and Jazz show up this past week and I'm pretty pleased. Jazz is probably my favorite of the line thus far. I'm not sure a better rendition of the character has ever existed. Tracks is pretty fun as well and both have some nice transformations. One thing I have noticed as I've bought so much of this line is the varying levels of QC. Some of the paint apps on my G2 Prime are a touch iffy and I've noticed a lot of flash on some of the figures as well. For all the good things I can say about Jazz I had to disassemble his left leg to make sure I didn't break it the first time transforming him. Seems he was assembled a touch harshly in the factory and part of his leg was pushed beyond where it was supposed to be. QC aside though, this line has really brought back my collectors spirit for these toys. I missed out on several of the classics, and now I feel compelled to hunt them down to round out my collection more.
Guest sh002 Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 i think if hasbro used night ops ratchet and painted him all black, removed the rails, replaced the hands and head, it would make an ok trailbreaker.

David Hingtgen Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Meh, it's an H-tank, not a tank. IMHO. I want 2 big treads that are integral to the body. Not 4 mini-treads plugged into the sides.
eugimon Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Cool, another toy I'll never see at retail.
one_klump Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 It is most likely to draw the Halo crowd, who are used to the Scorpion.
Guest sh002 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 has anyone seen the powercore combiners dinobots set in stores? i read it's been out for a while. wth?
Guest sh002 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) i think the classics/universe/genertations/rts line is one of the best tf lines of figures. the old and the new. bring on hoist, trailbreaker, and skids, maybe the omnibots too. Edited February 21, 2011 by sh002
areaseven Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 has anyone seen the powercore combiners dinobots set in stores? i read it's been out for a while. wth? Good luck looking for Grimstone. I managed to get him as a Christmas gift from a co-worker.

Would have preferred his WFC Cybertronian version, but this'll do.
Guest sh002 Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 preordered dinobots and constucticon pcc sets at bbts. if i find them in stores for 19.99 or cheaper i'll cancel my preorder hopefully.
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 DOTM Skyhammer's aesthetic doesn't look like it belongs with the other DOTM TFs. That would make only a total of three DOTM toys I'd be interested in buying.

That would make only a total of three DOTM toys I'd be interested in buying. not quite sold on this one yet. I do like that he has a kibble free alt mode, but I'm he's not very movie-ish. If he's actually IN the movie I might get him. so far leader Sentinel prime, Megatron, Shockwave and Crankcase are all definite buys plus all human alliance basics. I might get at least one wrecker, and I kind of want ultimate prime.

Arthurius Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 wow, stormshed looks amazing!!! got me excited actually. Thanks for the heads up Grand Admiral
Twoducks Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 New FansProject Insecticons: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/fansproject-causality-insecticons-revealed/20875/ Kick ass!! And here I thought that the bug modes were going to be crappy. The Fanproject's people really deliver.
mikeszekely Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Actually, I was looking at them and thinking that Fans Project seems to really go for the Pat Lee, ultra-chunky look lately.
CoryHolmes Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Actually, I was looking at them and thinking that Fans Project seems to really go for the Pat Lee, ultra-chunky look lately. And that's not a bad thing. I really enjoy their interpretation of the Rodimus Prime character over the MP version. Sure, the MP is a direct copy of the character, but FPs version just screams "bulky kick-ass leader", especially in robot mode. Robot-mode Rodimus is just Hot Rod stuck in a bench vice while FPs version is larger, bulkier, stronger-looking. He looks like a bot that could throw Galvatron out of Unicron's ass

Guest sh002 Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 anyone think companies like fansproject and others are actually smaller companies connected with hasbro and/or takara?

anime52k8 Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Model kits ahead? Note the prices. jesus F*ck that's a lot of money. (assume prime is 8,800 yen and Bee is 3,800.) also, primes inner frame head looks hilarious.
treatment Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 behold, generations WHEELJACK! http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-generations-classics-30-35/in-package-images-of-generations-wheeljack-171542/ WANT!
valhary Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 what is that it would be possible a reedition or is a new toy?
captain america Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Model kits ahead? Note the prices. I'd absolutely LOVE model kits of TFs; toys simply cannot do these designs justice due to their inherent complexity. Mind you, depending on the size, models would still be limited. Based on what I can decipher, if these are 1/35, then Prime would be roughly the same size as the Leader/Buster toy.
areaseven Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 I hope those model kits don't fall apart like the disastrous Trans-Scanning figures from the first movie.
Arthurius Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Can someone pls tell me where i can buy fanproject toys, for the future releases? Thanks in advance
RD Blade Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) Can someone pls tell me where i can buy fanproject toys, for the future releases? Thanks in advance BigBadToystore I bet they'll be up for pre-order soon. Edited February 26, 2011 by RD Blade
anime52k8 Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 BotCon 2011 Motor Master is Voyager Prime The box set is kind of amazing so far, but not quite $350+ amazing.
