I'm a sucker for an 'evil/ mirrior version of a character' troupe. It's probably the same reason HasTak can always reliably sell a shit-ton of black Prime repaints.

On another note, anyone else it was a missed opportunity to not have SG Rodimus Prime be known as Rodimus Crime?

No? Just me?

 

I saw Cheetimus tweet something similar, that being just a black redeco he doesn't appeal. And if it was just black and purple I think I'd agree, but the electric splash of green on the armour really sells it. I was always into the engineering on this mould, especially the titan master cabin and the potential for storing Deluxes underneath*, but in Jetfire colours it wasn't really tickling me. This guy though? He could be anyone. I love a new character.

*though I've seen very few people extoll this virtue since, so I guess it's something of a damp squib

 

I love that they made that his default head too  

Ahahaha that's awesome  

That's good of them!

And yeah I think you've nailed my own issues with Galvatron in general. Something keeps putting me off. Which is strange as I remember as a kid thinking his design was badass in the movie. I guess tastes change  

Is it still possible to transform mini Primal into alt mode without having to repeat the screw procedure? I quite like the little ship - I think I saw something refer to it as a Data Carrier or something?

That would rock. Especially if the Robot mode drew on the classic Sonic 2 Death Egg robot! Would be cool if they did a Transforming version of the Tornado ala Sonic Adventure/Sonic Adventure 2 to fight it!
It also occurs to me that IDW currently make both Transformers and Sonic comics...

GET ON IT SEGA AND HASTAK!

Way I see it you could have Transformers crash on Mobius and they can't find Energon but find out about the Chaos Emeralds (of course) and naturally they fight over them and initially Sonic mistakes them for Eggman robots but eventually the Autobots convince him they're not the bad guys and the 'cons and Robotnik team up (of course) but both intend to backstab the other something something new Transformer powered by Chaos Emeralds!

GET IN MY MOUTH! Though I'd most likely use him as like an evil Decepticon clone of Jetfire or something. Not like there's not precedent for cons with the badge in other colours, I mean TFP Starscream had red Decepticon badges.
It is kind of funny though how this version will come in a box with a window when the original came in a completely opaque box with artwork  

Yep, he has a mask and chest armour which gives the look, as here.

Hasbro really needs to hire you for product shots, seriously  

By the way, I've been meaning to ask, would you object to me using one of your awesome photos of Unicron as a background for some photos of my Revenant Prime OC repurpose of Corpsicle Prime? I would of course provide credit and link to the original photos on your Facebook or wherever. Thanks  

That made me genuinely burst out laughing,   I lost it at the triple Matrix pic  

I have been pondering these two for a while, thank you for the insight. I think that's made my mind up for me. I shall admire them from afar methinks! Unless as you say I find them somewhere super cheap  

 

Thats a great help, thanks a bunch!

 

Oh mate, I love your lavarama! I'm hoping I can make something along those lines myself soon, though probably without any liquid or lighting.

 

GALVATRON DISPATCHED BY KAPOW

 

*grits teeth*
GREAT I HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYS HIM

 

Please excuse the shameless shilling but I’ve added my Facebook sales list to my tfw2005 sales list. The link should be at the bottom of this post.

 

Forgot to say in my previous post @Siege Fan , strangely those plastic foodstruffs with Slimer makes me think either I or my brother had something like that as a kid. It's not so much the Slimer looking familiar as those flat plastic food things. Weird.

 

Cheers man! If you do decide you want to add lights and liquid effects, gimme a shout and I'll give you some tips.

 

The chance at the Motorvators/Big Motorvator is a big part of why I'll likely back it if I'm able!

Not to brag (because it more demonstrates my natural pedantry and pernicketyness) but I eyeballed that from the initial out of box leak pic because the figures jaws were shut and the back box art below showed it open.
I'm almost 100% he's a box set bod because with the apparent amount of seemingly extra plastic mass on him means he's really a Deluxe+, much like the ER Vanbros but his extra is all part of his bod, hence no gun. That beast head is about the same size if not a smidge bigger (or perhaps longer with his snout and jaw) but he also has a separate chest plate where Grotusque's forms his beast mode lower neck and jaw, plus them's some Joan Collins on Dynasty level shoulder pads on Fangry, not much taller than any other Mosterbot bod's shoulders but sitting near halfway down over his biceps, with spikes to boot, makes them seem a smidge more substantial. There's at least the TR twinrifles' amount of plastic on that bod, I reckon.

As the person who made his own evil mirror Prime Master of the Prime of Time and dubbed him Vector Crime, I heartily endorse this notion, that's at least two of us!

 

Here is my take on SG. I sold my 2008 and 2012 sets when I realised they were never going to be able to make the line as expansive and complete as I would have liked, and I didn't really like the mix of Unicron Trilogy molds mixed in. I've really enjoyed the WFC trilogy but I've struggle to find a space for some of the figures as I've got most of the characters in Classics already and really good G1 takes on them in MP.

That's left me with a bunch of toys I love but have no real place for.

With SG moving from behind the FunPublishing curtain that gives me a real good opportunity to collect a bunch of new molds in original colourways without a lot of duplication.

It does mean selling a lot of WFC stuff over time, and some of it I will keep and bleed into my Classics collection. But when I'm buying another Prime and Megatron just for the mold I can have them a bit different.

So I've gone from not collecting SG to suddenly being in for the whole line. But I'm going to keep them sealed while I build the collection so if I change my mind theres a good few quid there, as they should hold their value.

 

I'm still in the process of teaching myself terrain at the moment. Baby steps, innit.

 

You might want to edit the first post on your sales thread to include the list of items for sale or to say to scroll down, otherwise people might read the first list and navigate away from the page  

 

We expect detailed reports of your letter to Hasbro regarding his shoulders.

 

Four things required from this cross-over:
1. Sonic must Spin-ball through some random Decepticon's chest in an epic display of OTT violence that does not befit the franchise.
2. Sonic and Blurr must race.
3. Megatron must appear in his Mega Drive Alt form for some contrived reason.
4. Tails and Nautica must hang out.

5. (cause I really meant five) Crush 40 must do the soundtrack including a mash-up cover of Dare and Open your Heart. I am all too aware that comics do not require soundtracks, but this must happen.

As it should be. Getting a Big Mo/ Road Chicken Caesar combiner would be SWEET AF, but I'd be happy just to have really well done deluxe sized motivators. That Overlord can menace.

It tis your natural pedantry and pernicketyness that makes us all so horny for you Chris.

It does further beg the question: should Toxitron be renamed Optimus Slime?

 

@Insurgent @Art Vandelay

 

nice work! the chest looks a bit sparse paint wise though. or is it just the light?

 

SS86 Scourge is in the house, if anyone else missed out then BBTS is the place to go

 

Does anyone know where might still have an ER Starscream? Missed him when he was on shelves and had no luck finding one since. Ideally looking for MISB but will consider open/loose too provided it's complete.

Additionally how many have got Galvatron yet from a UK retailer/e-tailer and had the correct assembly? I'm seeing most people say that theirs have the dodgy shoulders?
