bloody brilliant.

 

Yo can anyone confirm whether the SKW cliff jumper upgrade kit can work for bumblebee? And if anyone has a fix for the roof clearance issues in vehicle mode

 

I think it was the same member that continued the crap is using a new account. Reporting.

 

If you check my profile, I have the same upgrade kit for free download

 

I just visited a local Target. Thrust is in stock but the price increases. Local Target asks $39.99 for it.

 

Can I piggyback a bit? Assigning gobot's female in the defunct show, Crasher, Pathfinder,Smallfoot and Snoop iirc, can anyone actually reference how it was decided on? Tonka thing or was it Hanna Barbera or just a random thing?

 

Show them this:

 

And core class figures are $11.99. Maybe it is a fake Target, LoL

 

If my local Targets haven't had Runabout in at least 3-4 weeks and he's sold out online does that mean I've probably missed my chance to get him at retail and I should buy him secondhand ASAP before he gets more expensive, or based on how other Target exclusives have gone recently is there a chance he'll be restocked soon, either in person or online?

 

My educated guess is Hanna Barbera. There wasn't much backstory provided for the toys and it was usually contradicted by the show. For example, there's something like "GoBots come from a different time and age" on the cards/boxes while the show went and set everything in 1984-1986. I should dig up my series bible to confirm though...

Something else to remember is that Hanna Barbera had a few formulas they liked to follow so you'll see some of that creep into shows like GoBots that deviated from the type of cartoons they're more widely known for (Scooby Doo, Yogi Bear, etc).

 

You have the series bible?!  That's awesome! Just my speculation, the added their own version of fembots because of the lithe appearances of said mechs.

 

Here's another custom i wanted to show off,
The one thing that bothered me about starscream was how shallow his cockpit is in his chest.

So i frankensteined my siege screamer and modified it on my ER screamer. The bottom of the jet mode is comprimised but its not too obvious unless its viewed from the bottom

Unpopular opinion but i do prefer it when faux parts are used to achieve better proportioned robot modes.

 

Nice! It also works to help fill in the giant hole in the fuselage once you pull out the cockpit section. That always was a deal breaker for me.
If we are looking at tweaks to figures. I just finished up a little paint work to finally have my deluxe-sized Metroplex. He seems to weigh about 5lbs more now.

 

Love it, less Metroplex and more Bungalowtron

 

Yep someone mentioned it could also be Miniplex, Metro’s little drone buddy.  

 

Suburb?

Stripmall?

Culdesac?

 

Like that idea, like a lizard tail, hydra, cut off a tower, gun implacement and they assemble into an angry mini me.

 

Suburbamax,
Minorplex
