NERV Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 HOLY AUTOMOTIVE ABUSE! MY RICEY SENSE IS TINGLING!!!
Dangard Ace Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Damn those things are UGLY. (must buy them for friends. )
agass4u Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 What is with the Hasbro 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime's smokestacks? Why in the world would they cut them so short. Also what is with the battle damage? I'm not paying 70 bucks for a used toy, so I don't want it to look like one. Besdies that, I have no complaints about the toy.
Solscud007 Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 yeah stupid american companies liek that crap. Liek the Toynami battle damaged Roy Focker VF-1S super poseable. Looked like it fell into the toilet. The short stacks was so kids dont poke their eyes out. Ok if you are nuzzling optimus prime that close you deserve to get your eyes poked out!!!!
GreenGuy42 Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Poor, poor supra bot. He's got a nice big hole in the center of his shield. I'll snag if it I see it. I'm sure I could remove the wing, repaint the car, and maybe file down the body kits to a more reasonable level. I love Supras, so it deserves that much love.

I'm kind of worried about the side skirts, though.
Solscud007 Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Im thinking of using it as a base for a custom. Take some other 1/18 scale car and chop it up and try to make a custom robot.

Fatalist Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Im thinking of using it as a base for a custom. Take some other 1/18 scale car and chop it up and try to make a custom robot. At Puzzle Zoo in Santa Monica, one of the Toynami sculptors supposedly created a custom Sideswipe using the current Alternators parts, and swapping all the Viper pieces with a fully die-cast 1:24 scale Lamborghini Countach. Of course there were needed mods to it and all, and supposedly it can even transform. But it looks awesome and just like a more poseable version of the old school toy. I was very impressed.

Solscud007 Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 yes you cant expect to post something that tremendous without pics!!!!!!!
Fatalist Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 yes you cant expect to post something that tremendous without pics!!!!!!! Well if I had my camera with me a couple months ago when I saw it, I would have. On top of all that, its in a case. I'll try and get in there sometime soon (read not this weekend) and take a couple shots. If they let me. Maybe someone else in LA can get down there this weekend and snap some? Maybe even get them to let it out of the case?

I was very impressed. bastards, I work at the puzzle zoo in south coast, and we can't even get regular transformers in stock, and santa monica gets all the cool stuff? And to think, I was the one who told the owners about the alt/binaltech line to begin with. bastards.
Feyd-Rautha Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 More shots of what most people are desperately hoping is a fake but most likely is the aweful truth...complete with a half-assed kitty mode!http://www.tformers.com/article.php?sid=3533&mode=flat i think the cat mode is actually growing on me... is this official or what?? thanks for info

If you looked a couple of pages back, I posted the Alt version of it in package. Here's the link: Alt Ravage Just scroll down and look for my post. You can't miss it.

I think he is asking if the "beast mode" of that alternator is official
Feyd-Rautha Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 yeah... the beast mode of ravage... >> did they scap the beast mode because of negitive response or...
BoBe-Patt Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 yeah... the beast mode of ravage... >> did they scap the beast mode because of negitive response or... Oh, I see. Well that mode is actually just put on all fours. Not really a new transformation thing. You can even do that to tracks right now if wanted to. It looks simple enough. It's just the head probably swivels upward. That's about it.
Feyd-Rautha Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 thanks for clarifing boba,, it looked like it was pretty straight forward..but was'nt sure

chowyunskinny Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 (edited) Tranformers sites are reporting that there IS going to be a 2nd Masterpiece toy from Takara. A repainted Convoy as Ultra Magnus Tformers Edited December 6, 2004 by chowyunskinny
chowyunskinny Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 (edited) kinda underwhelming... yes I know it looks like photoshop but almost every major TF site is reporting this. Whether it does turn out to be just photochop, only time will tell. If it is true they need to at least include Ultra Magnus's gun. And trailers for Masterpiece Convoy AND Ultra. Tformers Edited December 6, 2004 by chowyunskinny
GreenGuy42 Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 Oh. Wow. A Prime repaint. If it has his armor, I'll be super impressed, otherwise, meh.
UN Spacy Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 Tranformers sites are reporting that there IS going to be a 2nd Masterpiece toy from Takara. A repainted Convoy as Ultra MagnusTformers I gotta say I'm not suprised......they've got to milk that mold for every penny. That's too bad because I thought the Masterpiece line was the cream of da crop. I'd much rather have Masterpiece Starscream, Galvatron, Rodimus, or Megatron.
BoBe-Patt Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 Yeah, if they are gonna milk the mold, they might as well make MP-03 as Scourge!
Solscud007 Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 Shouldn't Ultra Magnus' gun be white? Like G1?
chowyunskinny Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 (edited) yeah, it was white and it was a little different looking than Prime's gun Edited December 6, 2004 by chowyunskinny

That Ultra Magnus doesn't need the energon ax, or the megatron gun or the Prime gun, it needs that white gun the G1 Ultra Magnus came with... And without the trailer armor is just crap...
areaseven Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Yeah, if they are gonna milk the mold, they might as well make MP-03 as Scourge! Not before they do a Diaclone Powered Convoy paint scheme first. Or how about that piss yellow color like the limited edition G1 Ultra Magnus?
eriku Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Bah. Ultra Magnus is on the top of my list for Transformer characters that never needed to exist.
GobotFool Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 I bet they'll make trailors for both, Primes that automatically unfolds with a RC roller and light and sound, and of course magnus's would transform into his armor :-p
promethuem5 Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Do you guys realize just how big an Ultra Magnus with Trailer armor would be.... That would be awesome tho....I would be most impressed.
RichterX Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Do you guys realize just how big an Ultra Magnus with Trailer armor would be.... That would be awesome tho....I would be most impressed. It can be done, the MP Prime legs can fold back in his cab mode to join into a Magnus armor or just me left there to get some leg armor add one kind of like the RID Super mode Prime. It would be amazing to see an actual articulated Magnus in armor
zeo-mare Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 the ultra magnus does not intrest me at all i prefer the optimus prime version. i think it looks ugly, if it had the masterpeice Ultra Magnus armor to go over it. that would be cool.
