Scyla Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Is any one here getting this? http://tfsource.com/kfc/KP-09-Dark-Grey-Version/ Looking opinion from previous buyers. I'm probably getting a set for Star Saber and Ultra Magnus. Here is a review for the Soundwave hands: Convoy hands from a different reviewer: Quote
treatment Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 OptimusPrimeSG's MP-23 review is now up:https://youtu.be/nIh5rARoNS45rARoNS4 Quote
David Hingtgen Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 That seems awfully long for a repaint. Quote
mikeszekely Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 I think all video reviews are too long. Tell me what's good, tell me what isn't, give me a few shots in both (or however many) modes, and let me go about my day. Quote

Tell me what's good, tell me what isn't, give me a few shots in both (or however many) modes, and let me go about my day. This. I hate watching videos. Give me pics and text. Only time I like videos are when I'm trying to figure out an overly complicated toy or a toy with stupidly inaccurate instructions. That's right, I'm looking at you Hasbro. Quote
treatment Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I limit myself to Chachi and Charles wrt video reviews. Mainly coz I like their no-nonsense raw presentation, especially when pointing out how stupid/wtf/frustrating/fragile/flawed some of the stuff can be. Also, we have similar tastes in toys so it's easy for me to get what they're saying about toys that I may or may not have. I don't quite like those overproduced and fanboy-ish reviews. Quote

eriku Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I mostly like pictorial and WORDS! reviews (what can I say, I like to read) but I enjoy the occasional video review if its short and concise. If I'm five minutes in and it's still hands gesturing in front of the box, I'm done. THEW's reviews are a favorite of mine, but those are more for entertainment than anything else. Quote
jenius Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I still much prefer text reviews and photos to videos but all of us saying that appear to be the minority from my own experience. Quote
skullmilitia Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Your back window on exhaust is loose? the rear thing is spring loaded, and kind of just hangs, the front window wasn't fully connected when I opened it. But it clicked back in. Quote

Scyla Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 I don't know where to ask this question but this seems fitting and it doesn't warrant its own thread. So the question is: what's up with all the drill tanks. I mean Transformers have them, Machine Robo has them, Gaogaigar has drill tanks legs and I'm sure I'm missing some more. It seems that Japan love drill tanks but I can't imagine where this comes from. I'd appreciate your input. Quote

I just want to add that even Orson Scott Card has drill tanks on the latest Ender books. Hehehe Quote
Gakken85 Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Kids always draw drill tanks on 2 d paper - or they did when I was young. Quote
JB0 Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Dunno where they originated, but they sure are cool. Quote
RD Blade Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Kids always draw drill tanks on 2 d paper - or they did when I was young. That's my theory, too. The possibilities are endless if you combine a drill tank with a good imagination. Especially if it has guns and transforms. Quote
Gakken85 Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Better than anything Micheal Bay has ever done: Quote
M'Kyuun Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Pretty good stop motion. This was enjoyably watchable; Michael Bay's films, not so much. Quote
Gakken85 Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Next MP is Road Rage. Actual retooling of MP-25. Crotch, upper legs, and head. Edited April 22, 2015 by Gakken85 Quote

Smut Peddler Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 I'm excited to get Tracks, but the repaint is an easy pass for me. I just don't have any memory of it from when I was a kid. If for some reason I did break down and get it, it would be to leave it in alt mode. Quote
anime52k8 Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Road Rage I'm way more interested in her than Tracks. Tracks is a douche and I never liked him, Road Rage is a female transformer in the MP line and they're actually doing remolds to make her look feminine. Edited April 22, 2015 by anime52k8 Quote
David Hingtgen Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 You know, she's that 'con that showed up in the same episode as Exhaust. Road Rage I'm way more interested in her than Tracks. Tracks is a douche and I never liked him, Road Rage is a female transformer in the MP line and they're actually doing remolds to make her look feminine. And that's the only MP 'cons we're getting, sadly. Just repaints of 'bots. Quote
Gakken85 Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) I'm into the original diaclone faceplate. Don't really care about the "sex" of robots as I don't think they have sex anyway? Idk. A red version for alt mode will be sexy. Edited April 22, 2015 by Gakken85 Quote

Just repaints of 'bots. where's trips? damn you takara. and screw you hasbro with the dumb triple changer repaints and charging astronomical numbers for the insecticons Quote
RD Blade Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 I kinda wish I'd picked up the Insecticons when they were reissued a few years back. Been a big fan of Road Rage (Reiji) since getting the e-Hobby exclusive in 2003. Including the black beam rifle with her is a smart move. Almost makes me want to double dip. Quote
Gakken85 Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 That's the best thing about the repaints, you get all the spare parts to complete or enhance the original. Big selling point IMO. Quote
Silverstreak Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Cause you know, including all the accessories with the original character would be too easy... Quote
David Hingtgen Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 I don't think Takara will ever top including ONE missile launcher with Prowl, and one with Bluestreak. (I still need to buy launchers for Streak, but all the GOOD ones for him are always in multi-packs---I don't want to buy a Prowl/Streak/Smoke set, just to get the good Streak ones) Quote
