Valkyrie2008 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 By panel lining it, it does look more like a model than a toy. And I end up keeping two Magnus instead of three, I had to sell one so that I could get Xtranbot Megatron. Quote
dapro Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Can you show it in robot mode? Curious how it looks with panel lining. Quote

mikeszekely Posted January 26, 2015 Author Posted January 26, 2015 So I hear Hasbro just filed a butt load of Gobots trademarks. Could be nothing comes of it, but I'm secretly hoping that the next big IDW/Hasbro thing after Combiner Wars is Transformers vs. Gobots, with lots of Gobots CHUGs to come. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 i'll take a pass on that idea. gobots were something i had but no attachment to the characters as transformers. maybe if they made a movie and killed off leader-1 (whatever his name is) it might've emotionally scarred me to care. lol Quote

Reveal hidden contents In the first Transfomers ongoing after All Hail Megatron (issue #, Spike Witwicky (who was in charge of some government program to handle Transfomers) killed Scrapper, partly in retaliation for Devastator's role in AHM, partly to prevent the Constructicons from being able to combine again. Later, in the "Chaos" event (Transformers #24-31), an entity called D-Void used some kind of power to combine several Decepticons and Sweeps. D-Void is defeated, and Cybertron is reverted to a "wild" state. Skip ahead some more, Robots In Disguise. The war's over, Megatron is missing since Chaos, and the remaining Decepticons are being held by the Autobots. Prowl fits them with Inhibitor/Deterrence chips, basically explosives attached to their brains that can be remote detonated if they get out of line, and begins to reintegrate them into society (RID #1). Prowl discovers a plot by Bombshell and moves to stop it. During the battle, he apparently kills Bombshell and activates the I/D chips in the Constructicons (RID #4). It turns out that Megatron was, of course, still alive and wandering the Cybertronian wilderness, and was plotting behind the scenes all along. He'd had Bombshell plant a cerebro shell in Prowl, and it only looked like Prowl had killed Bombshell. Bombshell reconfigured the Constructicons so that Hook was the new right leg, and Megatron intended to become Devastator's new head. Before risking his own body and sanity, Megatron ordered Bombshell to use Prowl as a test subject. When Megatron finally came in from the wilds to spring his plan, he had Prowl and the Constructicons form Devastator. Superion showed up to fight Devastator, and Devastator (still with Prowl for a head) ripped Superion in half. Prowl eventually gets rid of Bombshell's mind control. (RID #12-16) During the Chaos event, the Constructicons revealed that they actually liked Prowl from their shared time together, and convinced him to form Devastator again fight Monstructor (RID #27). As of the most recent RID story arc I've read ("Dawn of the Autobots"), Prowl and the Constructicons are still a thing, and formed Devastator to fight Galvatron's Decepticons on Earth. Honestly, if you're not reading IDW's Transformers books, you're missing out on some good stuff. Especially More Than Meets the Eye. Quote

Tking22 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 So I'm not much into Transformers so I'm not really in the know, so I figured I'd ask here, has there been a Masterpiece Ironhide yet, official or third party? I have a TRU Masterpiece Soundwave with all his minions, he's my favorite Con, but I'd also like a Masterpiece of my favorite Autobot which is Ironhide. I've tried to do a bit of searching but as I said Transformers aren't really my thing, I wasn't even sure of the top Third Party names out there, if anyone can dial me in that would be great! Quote

An official MP Ironhide is strongly rumored to be revealed this year. For unlicensed MP Ironhides there is the upcoming TFC Toys Old Soldiers OS-01 or iGear PP05W Weapon Specialist which is roughly MP sized Quote

I have zero idea why, but as a kid, I though Ironhide had one of the coolest vehicle modes, he wasn't a sports car, he wasn't sleek, but I just always thought he was really damn cool looking, plus his bot mode is obviously beast.

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 i want mp iron hide. i'll get tracks but never liked him as a kid. he was always a shelfwarmer at the local stores. Quote
M'Kyuun Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Ironically, I didn't care for Track's character, but I had the toy. Contrarily, I didn't have Ironhide, but he was one of my favorite characters. I had Ratchet, though. The original G1 toy for Ratchet and Ironhide was odd, so I can see why the animation model was changed. Hopefully , the MP version will do justice to his onscreen appearance. If so, a MP Ratchet will be sure to follow. Edited January 30, 2015 by M'Kyuun Quote
JB0 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I liked the Tracks toy... until his hip fractured and his left leg came off irreperably. Quote

JB0 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 MOST of Transformers sounds like bad fanfiction. It's not, generally speaking, a franchise that lends itself to great storytelling. We're here for the spectacle, and that sounds like a helluva spectacle. Quote
