    Yeah, those characters are a virtual unknown to me and I don’t even collect figures with Cybertronian alts, but I’m really tempted. They look fantastic.

    I'm flattered. But hey, i'm just being me is all, haha.

    So... MMC bots? Anyone?

    MMC BOTS???


    Found Tes weight-lifting with Rodimus while waiting for the rest of the crew. Wonder how many reps he's gotten so far?

    @ThatGuyCalledBlaster -

    noo. I mean, haha. You’re great! I meant it as a .. er sarcastic jab at the guy who tried to flatter me with his bigotry.

    I suppose I should be careful as I think I’m already “skating on thin ice.” If you think my reply to him was a little off the rails, I won’t feel to terrible if you remove it - but please remove that guys trash reply to me also.


    In other news: I can’t wait for my last DJD boi to arrive. Jealous!

    I was thinking it may have been that, I was either like...

    "Either that's a compliment towards me or a snarky side towards the other..."

    "Fuck it i'm just gonna swing for the fences." :lol 

    (Not sure if that's either talking to the mods or me, so I gotta swing for this one as well. Again, I'm not a mod, haha. No worries for the confusion, though, since the Supporter badge looks similar. All the stuff from before though of course is up to THEIR discretion. I'm just doing my part to help keep things nice, neat and civil as a regular user :D )

    Big guy actually is my first, funnily enough. I sold off my original Tarn and Vos (both of which were eBay pickups, the latter having some broken pieces, which makes me really glad I sold him off, though feeling the likely pain of the one who bought him) in favor of the new reissues, since I can finally nab them from an actual store. Helex and Tarn are currently chilling in TCP's stack. Though likely not for long since I left them in there for so long, with the hopes that Vos and Kaon would come out this year as well. Which unfortunately is not the case. So they'll join in the box with some other and soon approaching POs (FT Breakdown, MT Premium Jazz, XTB Quintesson, MP Spin-Out, etc).

    @ThatGuyCalledBlaster -

    Hey there! I just sent you a PM funny enough. And ah ha! I wasn’t quite sure if you were a mod or not. I figured since i thought you had moved our replies to the MTMTE section, that you had that power xD


    I suppose I should @Gamerlingual and see what he says. As much as I would love to see this guy stay called out for all of us to see, I’d rather “tell on myself” and see how he feels about it before I get into any “trouble” (Gamer if you’re reading this, if you deem it delete-worthy; please remove that guys trashy reply to me also).

    ———-


    We really need more IDW Fembots from MMC. As much as I love my boys, I’m still dying for a Nautica. Her body looks like it could be more or less retooled to Firestar as well?

    I think MMC underestimate how much she’ll sell.

    Nah, all I did was just reply THERE to what you said earlier in HERE. Again, just doing what I can, ha.

    Where'd you get the stylized Autobot insignias? Is that a MTMTE thing? Those are pretty cool.

    Lol it’s cute. Love it.

    Don’t think I’m even going to bother putting up my fake little tiny tree this year; let alone get a real one.

    But that gives me ideas!

    Aye!

    They are indeed MTMTE insignia’s. I got them at ToyHax/Reprolabels site.

    They have Decepticon ones, and DJD Decepticon ones too :)

    Yep, those are MTMTE's styled Autobot insignias. Most probably those are Toyhax's. Essentially it's kinda a little scratch thing moreso like seeing something in a cartoon from far away.

    He just better let Bee put the star on!

    Those are awesome. If I end up liking the comic I may have to start an IDW figure collection, in which case I would use those insignias for sure. Love the exaggerated pouty chin.

    Even if you don't totally get into it (I have a feeling you'll like it! If you wanna cheat a bit more, you can maybe even start around The Dark Cybertron arc - it gets a little 'jumbled' because MTMTE and what was RiD at the time were separate books but were connected - just going-on's with different characters in different places [and different writers]), I think you'll still like some of the figures.


    If you had to choose just two or three figures to dip a toe in; I'd recommend G-Creations Prowl, any of MMC's DJD and Drift, and Planet-X's Star Saber. See how they feel before/after reading the books and see if you'd like to continue on collecting :)

    Yeah, GCreations Rebel (Prowl) is awesome— I didn’t know about it until I saw previews of the Dust (Smokescreen) repaint. I missed my initial shot at Rebel already, I think. I was seriously tempted by MMC Stray Asterisk (the blue/gold one), and am kind of kicking myself for not buying it when I had the chance. It’s cool in the standard Drift-white, but looks fantastic in the darker color scheme, IMO.

    I’ve limited my collection to MP/3P Earth-alts only so far. If I go down this road, my wife will friggin’ kill me. I’ll be crowding into the display of stuff our kids made out of clay in elementary school...

    @Zentropy -

    haha. D’aww. No you wouldn’t wanna do that.

    Any way you can get away with getting a mini detolf or two? Ones that are half the size as normal ones. I got one specifically to hold my MP Omega Supreme (and was able to squeeze some other stuff in there as well).

    You could even cheat and get some for your desk!

    In any event, looking forward to seeing you get any in the future or how you feel about the books. Take care for now my friend :)

    Rebel feels high quality and looks great, but like most GCreations figures, it's a pain in the butt to transform. I pretty much treat my GCreations figures as non-transforming action figures at this point, which I usually stay away from (no more Fanstoys in my collection) but their figures just look so sweet. I ALMOST pulled the trigger on their Nemesis Prime (since GT OPEX is my IDW Prime for now), but still hesitating a bit...

    No such problem with MMC figures though, save a few of their older figures. Easy and fun to transform with good playability. They don't always have the same impressive paint or sculpt work of GCreations though, except for Carnifex.

    I don't currently have any GCreations figures, but you're right, they do look great. I have four MMC figures (non-IDWs) and love them. All are fun to transform except for Hellion-- he's a bit fiddly. As for Fanstoys, I only have one-- Hunk-- and it's a great figure, IMO, but not fun to transform.
