Thanks, It looks great having the smaller 2 pack Megatron with the Leader class Galvatron. I wanted those versions because towards the finale Galvatron was constantly growing and hehe I do really want all 3 Energon repaints of the Decepticons (Constructicon Demolishor, Artic camo Cyclonus and Energon surge Tidalwave) they represent the best part of Energon in my opinion and all the white and green looks so uniform with Megatron early in the show. The quest to steal energon, convince Demolishor and revive Megatron was awesome and I'd love to represent that on my shelf. Plus the beginning of Energon reinforced the idea of Cyclonus and Demolishor as a duo which I liked.

 

Oy! So after searching the thread for a bit I thought I'd ask this cause I'm curious; is there anything to watch out for concerning the Energon Inferno mold? I know people have their preferred combinations & everything, but I'm talking like common QC issues or stuff that happens to Inferno over time due to age.

 

Only thing I can think of is the shoulders might get a bit loose from heavy play, otherwise Inferno and Roadblock are solid. Probably my fave Energon Autobot figure too.

 

Make sure his water cannon/crane (for the Not-Grapple) are included. Those vanish often

 

Will do. Thanks!

 

BTW - I just realised your MOSC Sideways is a first run variant. Red shins, inverted faction symbol activation.

It's quite funny - of all the old pictures I have, this is the one I NEVER remember taking, let alone ever paying real money for a Galvatron General

 

So I just want to make sure I'm not missing any exclusives but besides mainline Japanese and western releases (armada/energon cyclonus/sandstorm and cybertron/galaxy force buzzsaw) was the ut cyclonus mold used for anything? Working on completing my collection of that mold and want to make sure I'm not missing anything obscure

 

I think there are only five versions.

 

Did you count the powerlinx repaint ?

 

Cyclonus with Crumplezone

1. Micron Legend Sandstorm
2. Powerlinx Cyclonus with Crumplezone
3. Super Link Sandstorm / Energon KB Toys Cyclonus
4. Cybertron Buzzsaw / Galaxy Force Buzzsaw

 

"We're looking for something called a Cyber Planet Key. Do know where we might find it by chance?"



Just got this figure in the mail today, and it's Cybertron Red Alert:





NGL, this figure was a bit of an oddball for me. It's not a bad figure per se (especially for its time), but this figure in-hand is.... certainly a bit of a unique experience to say the least, with the bizarre way of how the legs transform or articulate, and the quite stubby body proportions going on.

I do like how this figure didn't transform like your typical van/SUV type transformers (which does deserve some credit for trying something new), and the hammer and grabbing claw accessories are quite nice.




Despite everything I've said, I still glad that I got this figure to join my collection.

 

I wish I'd kept my Armada Unicron, even though he was far from complete. The aftermarket prices for a junker one hurt to look at.

 

Yup, I was counting powelinks. I didn't know if they used his mold for like a botcon exclusive or something else obscure. A lucky draw or something

Ever notice how the red windshield makes the Autobot symbol on Cyb Red Alerts chest vanish in vehicle mode? I really like how disguisey that is.

Cyclonus (2002) - Decepticon - www.tfu.info

This is usually a good resource, they list all the repaints of a mould. I'm assuming you don't want McDonalds Happy Meal or the Built To Rule Cyclonus lol

 

I paid $124 for a MISB Armada Unicron last year. I think it's realistic, if you look at Titan class prices?

 

Is this the Galaxy Force version? The blues are a lot brighter than I remember and I thought his claw and hammer were black, not blue? It's been well over a decade since I've played with the toy

 

I actually already have built to rule cyclonus  

 

What are the shiny purple Grimlock and the other purple one from?

 

Both are from Micron Booster 4 with the chrome one being a chase figure alongside the clear police car!

 

Oh haha, actually I thought the vehicle mode looked good when I saw a pic of it yesterday and I suppose the btr's offered some unique parts for master builders so it would be possible to either improve them with other Lego parts or make something different from them.
