    This isn't the Video Game and Technology forum, so lets not turn this into a console debate about unreleased systems that haven't had all their details revealed yet.

    Now with the threats of physical violence. You're probably going to try and bludgeon me to death with one of your praised original XBoxes, the boat anchor that it is.

    You can't talk to these people!!!

    I can't seem to get a response anywhere else, so with the triple changers being an oft-discussed piece, i'll try here.

    Anybody else having trouble pegging in Springer's pectoral pieces into the central chest thing? And, if so, can you recommend a fix for this?

    I can't decide which is more entertaining; this podcast episode or this thread for it.

    Mine went in happily, just a bit tightly. If they're not fitting into the slots I'd file them down very very slightly, if they're fitting in but then popping out I'd try thickening the tabs very very slightly with floor polish.

    I suppose you are right, but many people including myself are already looking at the Xbox One as a step backwards for Microsoft. It's really not an exaggeration to say they are making some bad decisions here, and will need some really good stuff to put them back on top of the console race.

    I'm not a huge fan of console debates either, because the PS3 and Xbox 360 were pretty evenly matched, but with the Xbox One and PS4 on the horizon, both with widely varying methods of trying to garner attention, I don't know what to think.

    We don't know the full story on either new system yet. Xbox didn't talk much about games because it's so close to E3. Everyone spazing out should just chill until at lest E3 is over and even then I bet there will be questions about both Xbox One and PS4.

    Just a random thought on the whole Datsun/Nissan licensing issue:

    Did the Alternity Transformers ever make it stateside? I remember Optimus and Megatron were both Nissan cars. In fact, Megatron was a modern day Fairlady Z - or what we know more commonly here as a 370Z. (The Fairlady Z branding is currently still used in asian markets)

    Alternity TFs haven't made a stateside appearance as far as I know.

    I wanna say that at a Botcon panel, Hasbro dudes said the licensed nature of Alternity was probably going to keep it a Japan-only deal. At the time of the panel, anyway.

    I remember seeing the Smokescreen in one of those Armada catalogs/comics.

    Or are those alternators? I don't know the difference.

    Those are Alternators/Binaltech. Alternity is the more recent iteration from Takara/Tomy.

    Speaking of Takara/Tomy if these rumors about Hasbro and Transformers are true everything is up in the air and there's no telling how any of this is going to go.
