if prowl happends in toysrus then it happends, really can't say if its a good thing or not, id like to guess at 39.99 just going by the size of it,
but what interests me most is the potential box he might come in, as i could see the return of the window box ala g1 (now how many of us collectors would doubledip for that badboy)
also a bluestreak redeco would be cool,
oh and while were here, why not mp11 warp, might as well 

in other news - Im in need of henkei dinobot, can anyone help at all please.

 

Good luck on your hunt for a Henkei dinobot, I gave up looking lol. I had a save on eBay for ages and the only ones that popped up were from America at like £70!! I'm hoping we see a new voyager for him soon as a delux is really far too small

 

I've learnt about 6-7 languages but am happy to say that's not one of them.

 

Random divergence - where do you guys buy your TF comics / comic downloads? I want to put my money towards these great endeavours!

 

I was buying them from Krypton Komics in Walthamstow, grew tired of being talked down to by someone who didn't appreciate the custom, then bought them online (eBay) from A Place In Space who were frankly, awesome, but I like picking this kind of thing up in person and James who works at Orbital Comics in central London is a bloody great bloke, so now I make the journey to town after work, grab the comics and have a good ole chinwag  

Back issues I still scour eBay and online retailers, as well as being part of a very small group of guys who help each other find particular issues. One guy in particular has helped me source MTMTE 12 and 19 Incentive covers because he was sharper than most and grabbed them on sight. One of the best things about TFs are people like that, who believe it's worth the effort to make someone else happy.

I buy mine digitally and use comixology to do so. There are smart phone / tablet apps as well as the website

 

I do the same. The prices seem ok and the panel-by-panel reading option is quite nice on their app.

 

I'm all digital these days. I use the the Comixology app on my iPad.

 

I sold my Henkei Dinobot a while back thinking we'd never see new BW figures. I regretted it for a while (after Rhinox and Rattrap were announced), but then decided that he wasn't big enough anyway (should be around Rhinox's size right?) and, whilst a pretty good figure, not as good as Dinobot could be.

I await a new improved design. And Black Arachnia. And Silverbolt. And a non-sucky original form Cheetor.

@simond- ye lucky wee bugger! They chime on about how the basic style is the same as other languages, and that it's just a new syntax to remember, but bugger me if the crap ain't fussy as all hell about everything. I must've rewritten my array assignment subroutine five times and still, it just refused to produce the whole matrix. Gave me seemingly randomly selected lines from it, but never the whole thing. And if it wasn't doing that, it was crashing/spazzing out cmd.

Avoid like the plague. How they can possibly operate nuclear reactors with this crap is beyond me. Cheapskates.

 

I used to go in Krypton when I was working at Blackhorse road but likewise stopped at the risk of getting done for assault, he really is Comic-Book-Guy with even less charm. Fuckwit will put himself out of biz like that, perhaps that's what he's aiming for.

I haven't been to A PLace in Space for years, didn't know they were still open. They always were a nicer class of geek, and you could suddenly lose a couple of hours without noticing having a chat in there.

I just pick up the occasional issue at Orbital too, somehow I keep missing James by minutes. They had a couple less display cabinets and fewer TFs in there today. Still haven't seen Mania King.....but I'm not buying anyway so that's just curiosity. Chimungmung is sending me another Revolver so all isn't lost. Top bloke Tony.

 

I have a custom tm Megatron. (I took parts from armada predacon to combat the weakness and combined them with parts from a megatron to get a bot that looks good without crumbling.)

I'll look at digging him out and touching him up. I have the elusive Metals VS two pack so don't really need the custom, even though I painted it up to be show accurate. I'll send you a pic later in the week.

Regarding Prowl, I don't care about the Hasbro release, it will be in a toy deco scheme and i prefer the cleaner look on the MP toys I've decided.

 

And yet there's another guy that sometimes works there, a bit older than the Comic-Book-Guy, and he's a total diamond, chirpy as you like and willing to have any conversation...but he hadn't been there since August so after a couple of months of surliness, I called it a day.

I tend to use Comixology nowadays as I haven't the space for a large comic collection, same way I've moved to ebooks too now.

I've never found a reason to want to learn it, I'd still say Miranda is an awful language but that's mostly due to it being functional which makes it a real pain to work with unless you can get your mind around it. I quite liked lisp, though there're way too many brackets and I found prolog boring. Taught myself c and assembler way back on my amiga before getting to Uni. Most languages aren't too hard once you know a fee others, I'm working on Python at the moment.

 

I've been getting the trades from Waterstones/Amazon. Between those, digital and floppies you can enjoy it any way you want!  

 

So MP Grimlock came in and he's beautiful but slightly concerned because his box was a lil bit beat up, when I went to open it the parcel box it came in was already slightly open.

Bit disappointed as I like my boxes to come in a better condition, kinda suspect it was myhermes fault. Mainly because I got Diesel from omegalock as well and he came via royal mail and was in perfect condition :/

 

Wonder how long it'll be till someone bashes a metro to be a tea sector for warden. Now that's something I can't wait to see

 

I was having a look through Reprolabels earlier. Can anyone point me to a set that will work with iGear Traitor? Is the MP11 set any good for it, or am I just best off buying some 'con symbols?

 

I just stuck some ordinary silver background Con symbols on the wings and called that one done. Looks great and is clearly different to my MP11 and Walscreams.

 

I was watching the intros for some of the Japanese Transformers series when I came across this segment from the Japanes release of the '86 movie.

Transformers: The Movie (Japanese Version) - Clip 6 - YouTube

All of the extra grunts & screams seem really out of place.

 

Ok FINE, so he's growing on me...
