    I recommend Warlord. If you don’t mind some parts forming for the combined torso and wings. He looks great alongside the CW bots.

    I hope there’ll be some update on that Scorn sooner than later. I don’t think they’ve even shown it in robot mode yet.

    This one is the standard oversize (around 25cm) the bigger one is over 30cm, and has a separate battle mask head, individual finger articulation and ratchet joints in the legs. Both versions are good fun, and dirt cheap :)  (Comparison image below- the one in the video is the BB in the center-Sixgun for size comparison)

    25cm is almost a foot tall... that's pretty huge.

    The one Tef linked to in the Youtube description is definitely the biggest one. It's gigantic next to that Deluxe Blurr in the comparison images.

    This is why I seldom use the feature. Unsure how often it's a problem, but I've been noticing this for years.

    Frustratingly the smaller of the two is just a little to big to look good with the HA figures. Looks great with my Black mamba Prime though.

    You could use the watch thread feature. It's at the top on the right hand side.

    I use the watched threads tab at the top and it lists all the unread threads that I watch.

    He's saying it's not working properly.

    I've had that problem with some threads before.

    I just check frequently. It's a bigger deal with threads that aren't used much, but this thread always has posts.

    Oh that Soundwave makes my heart sing. The Old School KO's really had the balance of skittles-and-classy down to a science much of the time!

    The thread watcher stops giving you notifications after a new post until you visit and read that thread, unless someone specifically quotes or mentions u.

    I'll have to try again at some point (it's been a while) and see if that explains problems or not. I honestly don't remember. Thank you.

    Not to be "That Guy", but the link is for the bigger one, but the review shows the smaller one. It's easy to tell because of the difference in the legs. The smaller one has solid one-piece upper thighs, and the larger has a separate silver/grey part to the yellow to house the ratchet joint :) . Still, a good review of a fun toy- it even fixes the issues of the original SS figure not tabbing in proberly in Bug mode.

    That is correct. You get one notification for a thread that it's been updated until you go back and read that thread. Doesn't matter if there's been one post or one hundred.

    Exactly. There is definitely grounds for confusion there. I'm a bit interested in the smaller one - the big one is too much of a shelf-space-eater for me. :)

    Really? bbts had it not long ago for like 120$ complete. If they don't have it anymore I'd advise keeping an eye on Ebay or putting out a request here on the boards. I'll always recommend Feral Rex over them budget permitting, but both the Unique Toys and TFC Predakings go for under 150$ regularly on ebay.
