@barry where are you

 

That was nuts!

 

Good luck folks with your respective exams. I'm suer you'll nail them.

Micromaster combiner Xaaron. so like one of these lads?



Also now I know there is a song called detachable penis. Thanks for that.

 

something, something airborne hogs?

have now crossed the w2 Battlemasters off the TFN list and pulled the trigger on them at Amazon.com - £13 shipped for the pair seems reasonable enough...

 

Thank you!

Ah, exam day, and all the trains are cancelled. The joys of sheer panic and impromptu travel rearrangement.

 

Leeds?

 

Indeed it is!

 

Heard on the news this morning about trespassing meaning all Leeds trains were cancelled...

Good luck!

 

Fuck sake! Hope you make it there on time. Last thing you need today. Fingers crossed for you buddy.

 

Ugh, what a nightmare!

 

I think it could well be repaints as Spectro, Spyglass and whatever the third one was called... Viewfinder! in toy colours with new head for Viewfinder.

That would be my guess anyway

 

I'd be up for that. I'm skipping Siege Reflector (I managed to snag a cheap Botcon set after he was announced   but having a toy colour set would pique my interest.

I watched that Transformation video for Springer. Practically drooling. He is definitely going to give Handsome Springer a run for his money. Heres hoping Hasbro UK have their shit somewhat together soon, a delay on that guy will be hard to bare.

 

Hi folks! Some exciting news - I'm going to be contributing some articles to TFSource's fantastic blog moving forward, the first of which is now live!

I'd like to take you on a journey... a voyage of vintage discovery, as it were! Check out the first in a series of articles about vintage Transformers collecting:

Not those Micromaster Combiners, these wee fellas:

Except instead of two separate robot modes his robot mode is also combined but you can split him into two mini-tanks (or two halves of a single robot) in a cheeky-but-toyetic/playable gimmick nod to the whole might die if he transforms thing.  

You are quite welcome!

Definitely leaning that way myself, maybe with the extra components in the illustration that make them even more camera like.

 

Congratulations Sixo! great read. I'm pretty sure I've broken every single one of your your guidelines despite my best efforts  

Certainly an interesting idea. I'd take an offical Xaaron any way I could get him. Unless he's made of tin-foil. But at least that would make it easy to recreate his death

 

*Starts microcassette recorder* Note: Micromaster Xaaron will also need balljoint hips & shoulders. *Presses stop*
 

Man, it's so deathly quiet at work I've ended up ordering a Brunt from Amazon US! Slightly steeper than Kapow but, well, he's in now. I blame Hasbro UK for bustin' my patience!

 

Ooooh, look at what just arrived! Makes the world of difference.

 

@Recon734 and @AkibaSilver good luck with the exams. Recon, I hope the train choas didn't impact on you too much.

What palaver! Oh well, at least I can expect the other three next week.
Until then...

I think I'd like that, but I don't know if I'd buy that? Since getting the KO G1 Reflector I've been totally loving the unique bot modes, and lamenting the choice to give them a single shared bot mode in the cartoon. But the rule is 'CHUG SHELF IS IDW SHELF" and the rules must be obeyed (when they suit me). Plus I reckon, judging by the £$£$ for the Firestormer pack, that this will be hardcore fleecing.

Oh man, all over the place. Was in London from Friday to Sunday and went to see Sun Ra's Ra-less Arkestra and then also went to see the Kubrick exhibition at the Design Museum. Good shit. Monday and Tuesday I've been finishing sorting out the house so my girlfriend can move in, which she did yesterday. So that's pretty cool. Now I'm back at work and it's fucking manic and I wish I was still off/didn't even have to come back here.

But it's good to be back on 'here' though. Haven't had a chance to wade through a week of posts. What'd I miss?
