    Just finished this. Great to see the mix of styles in this. A couple of duffers in there - the pointless sex scene ruined the first one (which looked like a cut scene from a game anyway), the slasher/chase one was more pointless titillation and I could have lived without the steampunk one - but on the whole it's great.

    Yeah, that's partially why I want the Powerlinx version again (the much handsomer dark blue, grey, black and red repaint)

    @nice sideburns hang in there, hope things pick up for you soon.
    Got MFT Chromedome today, and my, he's a good un. Can't wait for the other Head masters from them now :D 
    I've been watching Love, death and robots, only got up to suits which is basically Pacific Rim with Red necks. It's been my favourite so far. Particularly loved the bit with the chicken eating the remains of one of the ailens, as I could totally see any of my ones doing the same :lol 
    The Peter F Hamilton one was good, but can you really be surprised by the twist when you've read the book and remember how the story ends? It would be nice to see some of his other work adapted though.

    Yeah, I'm just re-reading his Greg Mandel stuff and that would work as a not too expensive series.

    Lovely review dude. I'll have to pick this guy up. Don't suppose you could take a quick snap of him in alt more beside a deluxe car?

    Sorry to hear about your health and everything else dude. I hope things get better for you soon, and the rest of 2019 improves for you.

    Sometimes Hasbro Just nail it. Like Agnes would have been nailed by Sir Tony Hopkins.

    I had until recently the green version, that was somewhat reminiscent of a chocolate lime. Great figure. Packed with so many features.

    You're doing Primus' work Loth!

    Shower of bastards DPD. They pulled that shite with me too many times. Had the temerity to tell me when I rang chasing a parcel that the driver called and I wasn't there. Explained I was sitting in my living room in full view of my street all day and nary a ball-bag darkened my door. They then confessed the parcel was never loaded on the van. Shady.

    Magnus strips and now I'm turned on. Lovely shot sixo

    Damn fine. Silver Looks good to me.

    I listened to the writer on Transmissions Podcast. He seemed big on world building and came across as being sincerely dedicated to bringing something interesting and his own take to the table. He acknowledged the power of Barber and Roberts crafting of their differing angles to how Transforming life forms from Cybertron might be interpreted. Issues from 4 onwards start to build up tension it seems. I really hope it does well. And starting off from dot will make it a purchase for my lad to pick up from the beginning with exposition not having to come from me or be an avid reader from the start. I think it's a wise move to give the children of us old fartbags a reimagining of our G1 cartoon/Marvel comics double whammy we enjoyed back in the primal soup.

    Neat! I intend on getting that version too, the deco is just so much better on her. Now to search the Japanese sites for the best price.

    Always the way of it! No sooner had I won a Quakewave back in the day at what was a 'decent' price did FT do a second run.

    @Underlord & @Rodentus prime - internet high five for the Peter F Hamilton praise - fully agree, would love to see some of his stuff adapted for film- think it would look stellar if done faithfully...

    Siege Ultra Magnus is down to £41 on Amazon UK right now, and today only there's a £5 off code if you type BIGTHANKS

    With free delivery he's just over £36 posted!

    Was torn on that or two deluxes but I figured Magnus is harder to find...

    Is there a way to find out which mod edited a post of mine?

    Only apparently one of mine was edited due to political stuff...even though the post was just me saying I needed an Alt. Jazz and that I had an Alt. Shockwave

    Just curious as i dont normally post political stuff so I cant think of how what I posted was in any way political

    Oooof, that is pure shite! Condolences m'man! I hope your figurative testicles are doing ok.

    I'm really trying hard to be a pissing debbie downer on the new comics, but I squirmed reading that it'll be one third through the story before tension builds. I never, ever, been much of a fan of the comic, or indeed the writer himself, but I recently re-read Gaiman's Sandman. Irritating and smug, though it often was, I at least felt I was getting value for money per issue. Fucking decompression man. I still blame Warren Ellis.

    Cog imitating Jazz's Action Master 'turbo Board' with aplomb!

    It was probably someone doing a search & delete for 'alt' dude.

    Further proof that the world needs more actionmaster partners!

    Decompression in comics. Pffft. Wank & Chips that.

    @nice sideburns thoughts are with you. You actually are having a shit time of it right now. Anxiety and brooding about it could be damaging for your health so I really hope you can focus on your patronus/ meditate your perspective away from it.

    All right you merry bunch of enablers, all this talk of T&R agent Meister has hooked me. Who has views on what is the best 3P Jazz? I'm more about G1 toyness than toonity.
