    Steelcore is a great toy the only things I don't like are ;

    1) Release the damn trailer already
    2) No proper storage for his weapons in robot mode or the green bit in vehicle mode (randomly jamming it in on the underside and hoping it does not fall out isn't really working for me).
    3) He really needs some new hands ones that open and have wrist swivels would be ideal.

    Still like him lots though.
    ----------

    I relented and bought the huge nonsensical 2014 Voyager Predaking - he really is massive for a Voyager (ideal scale next to Megatron) - I actually quite like him even though he's simple he's actually kinda fun. Might buy the daft part green Optimus too maybe (even though I dislike his face).

    I wonder if/when the massive legends up scale Deluxe will show up too anywhere near me ?

    I hold out a slim hope of finding Black Bumblebee and Prowl too - perhaps.

    Just went to toymaster today.

    So that's why they had to bring prime back as a flat-nosed truck.

    I think I came here subconsciously to be talked into buying it haha....which I did....success!

    Edit: Does anyone know the name of the artist who did the packaging on those figures siccoyote just posted? Usually I don't like boxart so much but those look nice.

    Reminds me of the Springer box art, which I thought was done by Phil Jimenez but a quick Google and I can't find any evidence to support this thought. Anyone else got a clue?

    no way im adding a red symbol on goldyswipes (and the 3 lambs), if its too big ill figure somthing else out. I was looking at it on the back of the mobile phone and thought it looked smaller, maybe the transformers title piece makes up the 2cm, hoping anyway.

    Nah, there's a diagram which indicates 2 logos, one is 20mm and the other is 22mm, the text is another thing. But yeah, a red logo would look odd on Goldswipe. Maybe one of Reprolabels clear ones?

    Edit
    Sorry, it's 20mm wide, 22 mm tall. Duh.

    hope she gets well soon bud,
    canulas are a nightmare but they in theory wouldn't do it unless they had too, and it really is for the best, getting fluid and nutrients back in her body,
    once she settles she may not even notice or care that its in,
    let us know how it goes bud,

    in othernews Im thinking of getting back on the fansproject function x train,
    50 snips for uuuu and 60 swollen balls for smart rob ain't that bad,
    but only if i can score code for a reasonable price, as he's the glue of this line,
    how many peeps display warden with them?

    (price lingo is in reference to my vasactomy on Thursday:( 

    edit - after seeing them new pics of scoria, I've gone off him a bit,
    not enough to not want him, but enough to make me question,
    its his god dam side profile in dino mode,
    plus grimmos platforms look dreadful (before seeing this new pic i was all for them)
    still getting him tho and am sure in hand will make any doubts float away,
    but god dammmm he's got some serious dino booty and long ass belly,
