    If this is the case then I’d be down.
    I could then hope for better Studio Series Ironhide, Ratchet, Bee...

    If this is PVP, or any other of the shady YouTubers, all you have to do is:

    - at minimum, simply don't click on their videos. Don't interact with them in any way (upvote/downvote/comment), as this will then negatively affect their videos in YouTube's algorithms (which "decides" whether any video should be "recommended" to your various "recommended/recently uploaded/subscribed/etc" sections).

    - report the user/channel/each video you encounter to youtube as "spam" or something similar. I think there are also web links at YouTube for reporting YouTubers that break rules on not declaring sponsored content and/or in using stolen goods.

    - report them to Hasbro/Takara.

    Even for me, as a lover of KO toys (which, admittedly, could be thought as related, or similarly nefarious, depending on your point of view), I find YouTubers like PVP an unwanted part of the community. This is mainly because they take views seat from YouTubers that acquire toys in a legitimate way.

    If we must utilise their videos, let's just stick to picture links at this site. Heck, we don't even need to acknowledge their usernames, as there's "no honour amongst thieves", sotospeak. Someone could even just "acquire" their videos from YouTube, and redub them with some music of their own voice overs/text and use THOSE videos at sites like this. Call it a "best of new TFs roundup" or something. See how they like it for a change.

    Also, is there a dedicated thread for this type of discussion? Instead of deleting them, why not move them to one?

    When i raised issue of us front paging someone who blatantly deals in stolen goods i was told they are just reporting the news. I think my issue with him is also how he sounds. His voice is VERY grating and mightier than thou

    Let's see, buy this guy for just twenty dollars or buy what's probably just going to be Earthrise Starscream with the same accessories for fifty dollars. What a difficult decision!

    I hope SS86 Coronation Starscream gets here soon so I won't be tempted to buy this.

    This toy is styled after how they drew him in the film's coronation scene, which was much more "modern" in its design than the typical boxy bod he had at other times.

    Feel free to be skeptical, but Apollux has consistently posted accurate insider info for almost a year now. His info is reliable.

    If they turn the guy in who steals from the factory, the punishment in Vietnam may be death. Do you want that? :eek:

    Giving him a tiny smirking head would be hilarious. But yeah, all the other parts would require...well, making him PotP Starscream with spikier intakes off his shoulders.

    Forget the giant upper torso and tiny head, check out that itsy-bitsy left first!

    Off-model shenanigans aside, Screamer definitely looks better in some shots in that scene than others. Hell, while he kinda roided out for the most part, for his death scene he actually more-or-less reverts to his regular proportions:

    Needless to say, hopefully the SS toy will manage to srtike a good balance between regular and buffabulous so we can get a really cool looking Screamer.

    I honestly think this guy looks pretty good. Though never seen them at my walmarts, so Walmart’s website is probably the only way ill get any of these.
