    Is that the Planet X Sludge?

    I still can't decide what to do on Brainstorm, he's got some killer visual features and poses but dude those wrists, that Headmaster and that mega simple transformation....

    New comics this week...

    Primacy #4 - embarrassingly bad
    Drift EoS #1 - I loved it, very good setup
    MTMTE #35 - 5 pages in before I had to put it away due to reaching my stop on the bus, and already it's bloody brilliant. I can't wait to leave work now and finish the issue off.

    All the best

    Just thrown more money at kapow for Springer, everyone says it's good and for 20 used prophylactics it's worth a punt. I really like the Rodimus Deco though but for 75 rusty bike chains it's a bit steep.

    Wise! Rodimus looks fantastic, but that doesn't balance the cost at all against the already-darn-neat Springer at that price.

    Fair warning, armoured car mode can be an utter git.
    Make sure the central car canopy is tabbed in right, concentrate on aligning the windshield and the side 'skirts' of the car correctly - the legs are so easy to misalign in car mode I still get frustrated whilst transforming him into it sometimes BUT when you get it right he sure is one lovely-looking Tumbleresque Death Mallard*.

    No probably not. Agreed, they do seem to have gone the extra distance with how they have done the Arielbots but time will tell! Roll on the photos....when is the next toy fair for Hasbro reveals?

    :lol  Death Mallard. Thanks for the tips, I'd forgotten how much a pain the 'car' mode was with this mould. Spend last night transforming him and took forever to get the car 'kind of' right. The wind-shield alignment is a nightmare!

    One thing that seems to work for me is to ignore the instruction to get his side chest pieces on the underside close enough for the top end of the sword to slide in (at least I think that's how the instructions have it, I could be remembering 'em wrong), they don't have to hold it in, the knee spikes are plenty strong enough to hold it themselves without the chest pieces additional support(unless you're unlucky enough to get a duff one).

    And it is...

    The first ever De-enabling in the uk thread? That's unpossible.

    But yeah, I can only really see Springer in Rodimus colours with that Cloud toy. And does anyone know why they're so expensive? Are they super limited or something?

    Edit: Cool, new Thew review!! Perhaps omega lock were listening when a few of us said he'd maybe be the best guy for a video review.

    Double Edit: Nice review! Blasterpiece... It's so obvious now...
