I’ve got two of those from childhood  

Don’t you just love it when you get a new transformer and have to do a mod straight out of the box. After being unable to get Exhaust’s head down, I decided to watch a YouTube vid to see if there was a knack. The review said the neck had a tab which was very tight, so at least I knew my copy wasn’t miss assembled. So after a light sanding of both the tab and the part it rested against, he can now transform convert. And what an alt mode. Now where is Hubcap?

 

I would but that spot's taken by another.


I don't know if i trust these guys on top of the wooden shelves, they're a bit wobbly for something so heavy up there outside base mode.

I am picturing max and scorp with pugil sticks going at it with each other like Shadow now. 

 

Sneaky Gen Selects I wonder? Live action Gobots Leader 1...

 

This little guy is quite nice. Cant argue for £35

 

I recommend them despite the only thing I've got from them being faulty! My Earthrise Prime came with no matrix! Can't fault their customer service, they were very keen to put everything right for me. In the end, however, I had appealed to Hasbro to send me a replacement matrix, which they did, wrapped inside a freaking whole new Earthrise Prime!!!

 

The only reason I would ever get Maverick is to swoosh him around in plane mode while Kenny Loggins is blaring through my speakers.

But hey, at least Kapow! got the exclusive this time. Good for them.

Transformers X Top Gun Maverick Crossover Action Figure - Featured Items - Kapow Toys

...

/HIGHWAY TO THE DANGER ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!/

 

Mine was quite tight, but some gentle pressure and it got there. Might need to sand it down a bit though. My friend says his wouldn't budge at all, and he had to remove the head to sort it.

Also anybody else notice the side door says "EXHUAST".

 

The deliberate misspell is also on the rear spoiler as well.

 

I'm hopeful for a crossover figure soon who is a bit more colourful than off-white/silver  

 

I agree, I love the F14 dearly, but if I get this it's staying as a plane because that's NOT £50 worth of Robot that's for sure. The almost translucent nature of that grey plastic for a start..........

 

Well, now we know why we don't get real.world paint jobs on our robot jets: they look boring.

Whoever said this looks like an oversized G2 era jet was bang on, other than they looked a bit better, had light piping, weapon storage and better looking arms.

I really like the concept and will probably support because I want more crossovers, but this is the weakest one so far. Going up against the Deloran Time Machine and Ecto-One was always going to be tough though.

 

Anyone interested in a MOSC Titans Return Roadburn? Bought him years ago as a custom plan for Cliffjumper but since I have Earthrise Cliff I’ve no need for him.

£20 including postage?

 

FYI, they've still got Omega, the G2 Sideswipe set and a bunch of new Lego...

 

I've been thinking on what this kingdom core gimmick might be and I'm reminded of this concept art I saw a while back for beast wars.



Maybe parts forming and not this involved but how cool would it be if the g1 guys could replace the torsos in this style

 

After watching the recently shared Slitherfang vid I'm kinda looking forward to him more than Rung.

 

So mention of him in the WFC Spec thread inspired me to dig out the ol' Theoretician and put him into practice one again...

...and I feel he got a bad rap about his Milne feet and "not balancing", now don't get me wrong he's a more fiddly poser than current standards for sure but, seeing as he dates from a time when I didn't even dare paint the pin caps of his front wheels (now rectified!) I thought I'd try the coat of superglue on his appendage ball joints.
After a brief moment of worry that I'd possibly borked the tolerance of his sliding arm joint (that I'd forgotten to factor in, despite just being reminded of it taking him from car mode) before finding out a shrugging motion got them back out to robot mode position without a scary amount of force (lever action, baby!), and the jolt of getting his now-tighter arms back in de-coupling his shoulder cannon spring (thank Primus for tweezers bought to apply stickers!), I'm quite feeling him again, with that little bit of play in his hips stiffened up he poses like a champ (though you do still have to find the right balance, he stays there when I have it now), and with tighter armpits the guns stay where I point 'em without sagging - he'll deffo still do for now!

So that probably means Surprise Deluxe Skids out of nowhere in ER Wave 4 or WFC:III Wave 1, right?  
That's pretty much what happened when I sorted out a gob gun to finish off CW Sky Lynx after all!

 

I have Rung, the best thing about him is the blast effects!

 

Thinking these might scale even better with Micro Machines than Micromasters...

 

Pretty Funky way to do The Pretenders PROPERLY THIS TIME!
