    Fully agree. Absolutely love that figure. It’s one of my favourites of the year and I can’t imagine it will be knocked out of the top 10 by the end of the year.

    I'll dig out my Hasbro Onslaught but and strip the parts I want for Pyro once POTP Inferno comes out.

    Was good to see you bud :) 

    The wait for Galaxy Meteor, Grotusque and Legends Targetmaster Kup is real.

    That brief mention earlier of Metal Black kicked out a memory block, and reminded me a certain legendary warrior could do with some dabs on his chest....windows? Apertures? Elephant eyes?

    Still a fine figure of a Mech.
    Even more so with his slight paint omissions corrected!

    The "Boston Tea Party for Transformers" thread in the 3P Ghetto is beyond priceless. It's everything about this place condensed to several poorLy written rage-pages of mostly steaming drivel. I earned my Rodimus Star by bravely reading all the way to page four when mercifully the Ignore List saved what's left of my Brain by reducing the remaining three pages to a grand total of four posts.

    But I still feel a lot dumber for having started reading. Tread wisely fellow travellers. You have better things to do tonight than get endumbened.........

    Mate, you're stronger than I am, I could hardly stomach the first page. What is wrong with this fandom. I swear, this thread is the only sane part. No wonder I spend so much time here. :D

    One of the absolute WORST cretins in there has just taken my flip-off comment literally. I don't even know where to begin with creatures that......joyless?

    Not going back in, it's a ban waiting at the end of a rope.

    I love this Soundwave. If he was bigger I was going to make him the base for my custom.

    I've invented a new drinking game - take a drink when, during a discussion of Transformer aesthetics, the first mention of G1 authenticity appears, then take two drinks per outraged slamdown after you say you don't give a shit about G1 authenticity. You'll be paralytic within twenty minutes.

    It was a massive yawn fest, like a load of people were wasting their minds away and grunting about it.

    Sweet dude and yeah can't beat a good catch up. Glad I dug big spring out to show you as the waist is much cleaner now it's tightened.

    Question is have you been enabled? I think I'm in for a core Magnus if he is still about in a couple of weeks.

    Manus and despotron! You will not be disappointed. They are definitely up there with my top 5 figures of all time!

    The Bin!

    Sorry, it's true, I don't have any positive advice to give on him.
    I've gone from wanting a Voyager upscale of the mould to basically right off that Classic design, and it is a classic design, I know I'm being harsh to a toy that helped reignite the interest in the G1 characters but time & technology have moved on and it's limitations are showing the latterly-revealed flaws in the transformation, the lack of poseablity...

    I understand the affection others have for it but with a Spock-like detachment, for mine has waned.

    I am well up for the Pat Lee Puffy Popeye-forearmed TOTP Screamer, that he is a torso even more so!
