    You and me both bud, it looks similar to the CW one, but better.
    Do you know how tall the CW and Gravy one are?
    Will this be the very tallest?
    Wonder how much this one will be.............I shudder to think.

    SouthEastLondonPube, we don't want to go near Croydon. I'd suggest Greenwich, some nice pubs there, or we could just kick it in the park with some tins.

    And let me know when you start Saturday shifts at Bluewater, I'll meet you for a drink afterward or something.

    You SE guys should come along to a pubmeet in London sometime.

    MAS-TAH-FORCE!

    Wait, another Devastator? Well, you know what they say, wait 30 years for a Devastator and ten come along at once. Or was that buses?
    On that note, why has there never been a bus Transformer?

    I love this here figure.
    As others have said the silver faces look so much better, paint on this guy is lovely too.
    I thought I my copy had missed a paint application as there was no faction sticker on the chest gimmick, turns out you have to apply it yourself.

    :lol  lets hope therse no more tube strikes, we can't afford to miss a night 'touting' for work!

    Gulp............this has thrown a bit of a swerve ball I must say, perhaps unfair to judge at this early stage, as the TW one is a drawing but I think I still like the Gravy guy best!

    Subject to change once we see the prototype of the TW one!

    [​IMG]

    So the TW will be the biggest of the big!!
    Decisions decisions!!?? :confused:

    I meant which one to buy?


    Wicked comparison pic. All 3 seem to have pluses and minuses.
    This may be the hardest choice out of all the "wars".

    I'm still undecided, but I may go with takara's devy. But I do like the upgrades for the Hasbro one.

    @Jazzclub: let me be the first to inaugurate you into Nitewotch with a perennial swarm of spiders, if that is what you so desire, proceed in kind with a strange, silly, or scary image :D 

    Hint: it's not a heap of tribbles :ev:

    NITEWOTCH!!

    (Since my computer kicked the bucket and I can't upload GIFs from my phone, I'm not sure if I just hotlinked or not, as they did have an imbed function, either way, if the above image is an issue, here is a link to the original vine)

    @Stevil: G2 BB is looking swish as all hell, particularly in your pics :) 

    Only thing that would make it better is if it was all chrome!!!


    @Decader: first off I agree with your 0079 statement, I just want to point out the scrumptious irony that within the same post you showcased a chibi Kyoko, one of the more decidedly "moe" character designs in Madoka Magica :lol

    Area of night sky * number of human beings awake and looking at said sky * time human race has been sentient * number of alien beings living on planets, awake and looking at their night * area of sky from their vantage point * evolutionary history of said aliens (cumulative) * how much At the River by Groove Armada still makes you remember anything at all, in these second-hand days (stoned, tripping, or sober) / volume of universe / volume of spatial elements of Reality

    Romford is like, Super East!

    Forgot to say yesterday, I like the custom Animated Prowl weapons, especially the lampost pole thing. I might try to find a 5mm pole to do that with too...
