    And now I'm picturing a kangaroo ejecting a badger and a ferret out it's pouch.

    Think I'll be trying to keep an eye on those legends.

    Mission accomplished! :D 

    When I had gerbils I got an idea for Beast Wars Rumble as gerbils tap their rear legs rapidly when they're startled so from there it was easy to rework it for Rumble's ability to cause earthquakes.

    I picture Ferreticons as being more effective killers than Sharkticons :D

    It's a Christmas miracle, I've held off ordering online as wanted to see up close first to save me ordering the whole wave
    May now take a trip to Leicester on Friday, hopefully they still have sufficient stock, will call beforehand.

    Might be off to Smyths in Mansfield tomorrow but not through choice.

    The wife bought our boys a Nintendo Switch for Xmas but it turns out that they never gave her the download code for Mario Kart 8. Bit of a ball ache to sort out but at least it'll give a perfect opportunity to hunt down a Siege Optimus as well as search the big B&M in Mansfield for those Ghostbusters Select figures.

    Perfect end to a perfect Semi-Day, bus service was ended before I finished work. That's some Xmas calories burned off on the traipse home, then.

    Poured my frustration into some creative digibashing to unwind inspired by another thread member's customising theory, just add anvil & hammer and do it, Hasbro! DOOO IIIIT!

    Where's that white head from?? Classics Jet fire maybe? And what Inferno is that? It looks like Firenado with POTP Inferno's head :confused:  I'm so confused

    This line, I’ve only seen these figs and the Zombie Taxi Driver. £9.99 each. Bargain.

    (Excuse the rushed pics, @joetele did a quick reccy on his lunch break last month and picked a few up for me)

    I know carnifex is the darling of idw fans (and rightly so) but this guy is a dead ringer for his g1 Euro box self.

    1AAEA4C0-25EB-4D55-8368-0723B4218138.jpeg 5F142465-C892-45D3-93BD-6028199523F3.jpeg

    I appreciate not everyone is a g1 fan but why do Hasbro not take shots of the toy in poses that hark back to the original box art? I know it isn’t going to chime with those that have no recollection of, or connection to the original art, but that isn’t going to offend anyone either and for me, I am much more likely to pick the toy up if it hits me in the feels? I nearly passed this guy up altogether but he looks great (not saying the photo looks great, you understand, but the similarity is!)

    Thanks most kindly. They look great together. The aesthetic is quite different though. That said, I don't know of a 'Cybertronian' Inferno or fire truck of any kind. Haso there been any?

    Cybertron prime is probably the closest to a cybertron fire engine. I can't think of any more.

    Good morning all!

    Entirely correct! ;) 

    Firenado has a flat mushroom style connection to his head but Inferno head had a recess for a ball joint so some chopping is needed!

    As for the King's head, they do a lovely Sunday lunch! :p

    In addition to Galaxy Convoy referred to above [not Inferno, but technically a cybertronian-esque firetruck] there's also Energon Inferno :)

    Anyone recognise the large sword with this KO TF Prime Predaking?

    Its a little odd but might be worth a punt if the price is right! ;)
