    Ooookay. Slitherfang is presumably a snake like thing so... Spear mode? Something melee at least.

    Astro Squad is almost certainly another micromaster combiner, and I'd guess the shuttle boys although the red rocket truck would be an easy remould from the Battle squad.

    Fast Track... Rings a bell but I can't put my finger on it. Another base weaponiser thingy?

    Trailbreaker is pretty obvious. I was surprised by my own indifference to Hoist so will reserve judgement.

    Sunstreaker yay! We are saved, @Seeaich! Has to be a new mould too, else some huge retooling will be going on.

    Runamok I am hoping is a new mould but there's every chance it will be a remould of Cliffjumper.

    Snapdragon yay! It will have to be pretty bad to put me off.

    Doubledealer boo! I was hoping for Prime Breakdown.

    Fings crossed if he's Wheeljack-based there's TR-level remoulding, the Lambo lines are an essential character flair for him for me.

    Is he about to release the Hounds?

    I got Siege Barricade and some Bot Bots for Christmas. I also got a model of the Planet Express ship, really pleased with that :D 

    @bcm77 I'm glad you're enjoying NA Jazz as much as I am.

    I've also ordered MFT Huge Dragon with some birthday and Christmas money. Hopefully he'll be here soon.
    Right o, off to Star Wars. If I'm not back on, have a happy new year!!

    Picked up MP-18+ “Streak”, SS-34 DOTM Megatron, SS-13 ROTF Megatron and Titans Return Broadside from Forbidden Planet Birmingham this morning.

    Absolutely loving MP-18 he’s awesome, looking to find a Bee 2.0, Tracks and Sunstreaker and then I can stop..he says.

    Anywhere know where I can get the DNA kit for ROTF Megatron? It’s not the desert battle damaged version and I can’t find the kit anywhere expect TFsource and I’d really prefer to use them as a last resort.

    The axe kit for Broadside wouldn’t go amiss either but I’m expecting that to be completely gone these days..

    Was going to make a joke along precisely those lines, but then I started to hear Who Let the Dogs Out? in my head and thought it was wiser to stop. :D

    Soooo.... That list i posted this morning? Ummm, yeah, add fastrack and dealer to it. Dammit, I'm trying. Does that count?

    I saw the kit for the original version on unclebillies shop yesterday.

    DNA DESIGN DK-09 MEGATRON UPGRADE KIT WITH BONUS,In stock! - DNA Design - Other add on

    Fastrack is scirpiniks version of cog, sixgun and brunt so I'm hoping he's a priper weapiniser and not a mini base former like ironworks.

    I wonder if he might end up pulling duty as some of Scorponok's additional weaponry, seeing how spartan-equipped Fort Max ended up being in TR.
    I know one could argue the electronics hit his budget, hence him not getting the hand gun in his box art, BUT despite them skipping the electrickery in Tryptie he didn't get that much more gear for it in the end up IMO.
    Yeah, it got Full Tilt done but Max his own self had a Deluxe for a head and an included TR seatgun for him (of more plastic mass than FT's blaster), and Tryptie didn't get anything else extra* like the mahoosive shin bazookas Max did.
    In a long term view one could say Max was actually more bang for the bucks than the Monstrocity that followed him even!

    *Which reminds me Matrix Workshop or somebody finish off Tryptie's accessories, willya?

    The evidence that Snapdragon was coming was quite clear, guys.

    Discovered I have a ds version of chrono trigger, a game I’ve never played, and have spent a happy afternoon time adventuring.

    New reveals sound awesome Looking forward to seeing how they handle the quint... and hopefully that means more season 3 bots on the way. By which I basically mean somebody give me a top notch Rodimus toy goddamnit.

    Had a proper laugh at this!

    I heard it was long, but yikes!

    Aha, yes, forgot about Wheeljack. Still, that's a good deal of remoulding, and these days I'm confident that that's what we'll see. We barely ever see simple redecos these days.

    Nah. They were never presented as teammates before, just introduced together as their '87 toys came out at the same time. I'll be getting a Snapdragon so long as it's not awful but still have no great desire for an Apeface.

    Cheers, knew I recognised the name. Hope he's a weaponizer to match Cog rather than a standard one to match Full Tilt.

    At least this time, they can develop the two together to maximise integration of ft's weapons modes.

    Tfsafari has a 3% off until dec 31st, as well as some 3% off for users and some upgrade vouchers. So nabbed myself the white voyager mp10. Thought about getting the ko of perfect effect magnus core robot too, but i like my magnus to be a singular entity so passed. If it was the ginrai version however....

    Got the alcove of my mancave set up now.

    Just put the last two pics on the right hand wall. And maybe get an Endgame poster for behind me Avengers.
