    You may want to consider going Sirtoys if you do, I believe Paul (Mr. Sirtoys himself) has posted in the KO thread that there's some misassembled copies (wrongly attached fists and stuff) and he's been opening and fixing his stock AFAIK.

    They really have done a grand job on giving the Modern TF skeleton a rather 80s bot mode makeover but without working ecto goggles-as-a-visor I can easily resist the pull of his two things-ness.
    Now a Transformers 35th K.I.T.T. though? INSTABOUGHT!

    Shameless double post to let you lot know that Reissue G1 Screamer has just dropped at Kapow at a low, low price for a limited time/stock! (£26.97 instead of £40+ squids!)

    That is one of my few "so minor I feel bad mentioning them" gripes. But really, this toy is wicked. Just utterly mental drunken what if level awesome.

    Please excuse the terrible photo, but I'm having way too much fun with Figma bases and battlemaster effect parts.

    Totally minor but a handy saving throw for one's wallet when one is most likely to cave on Siege Omega next payday! ;)  (Also I'm a pedantic enough bastard to also hold an Onslaught/Hotspot bod not being a combiner core against it, though maybe that's a small mercy too as you just know the fourth limb woulda been the General Lee or something and, no, sir, I don't like that, nope, no way no how do I want that historical baggage in this house!)
    Fixed that for you. ;)

    I thought it was region locked

    Also, would you say it's worth watching? I feel like a TF hit and am not sure where to go

    Huh. I thought it was region locked as well... but I just tried it, and there it was! That'll get a view from me... tomorrow.

    I've had a dip and it's pretty damn good for what it is. It utilises lore from across the entire 35 years of the franchise. Some great designs. Voice acting is a little stiff - there's a great Prime battling to come out but while he's got that youthful Cullen esque gravel, he's also bogged down by the 'everything Prime says is a speech' thing that seems to have become a staple of the character. Megs is a hoot, as is Shockwave.

    We've convinced one of the floor managers in our place that a key part of the system that is prone to failure has two pivotal areas called the Effer and the Doofer (spelt Düfer, because German tech and for realism on our bastard parts). Can't wait for us to have an issue there and watch that email get sent out.

    Megs occasionally sounds a bit Aussie to me but I also enjoyed rocketing through series 1 by naughtily watching cartoons online but that's redundant if the Tube of You is no longer region locked.

    Watched the first ep. of Season 2 of Happy! tonight.
    Nuns exploding on Fifth Avenue. Insane hyperbolic revenge fantasies. Catholic Cardinals checking out choirboys butts.
    Make Easter Great Again. Black Market Organ Harvesting. And a slapstick Looney Tunes parody of The Transporter's oil-slicked action sequence. And that's not even half of it!
    So, yeah, shaping up to be as bonkersly Barmy enjoyable as Season 1 so far.

    Ordered it the day it was available.
    Not even an invoice yet.
    RIP

    Guess I'm back to sitting huddled in a corner, rocking slowly while hugging my knees, AKA the 'Waiting for Siege Wave 2' pose. :lol 

    Seriously though, is Headmasters worth a watch? After Animated I've been thinking about dipping my toes into some of the other Transformers series I've never seen, like Headmasters, the Scramble City OVA, Victory, Zone, the Unicron Trilogy, etc... although the last one might just be to laugh at it...
