    Sweet list! Ratchet makes no sense........a cassette? Ratbat has to be, his flappy-flappy ineffectiveness was in full effect in the film. For several seconds.

    And still no fecking Buzzsaw!

    Not a Camper-van after all, he's a Bin-lorry. It's taken me 34 years to realise.

    The Dragon, The Spider and The Ant. That'll do me. Maybe dotm laserbeak if I find myself itching and he goes well with SS, though the ss one is fine. Would have preferred this was rotf ravage so I wouldn't have to spend 50 quid to get one and get a free grimey blackout.

    As you are a bayformer collector, I approve this message, despite the lack of beasts. :D :p :cool:

    Found a slightly more illuminating version of the list on another website.

    Legacy/Evolution/whatever they name creature:

    -Leader Dragon/TM2 Megatron
    will skip this and buy the Cryotek repaint.
    -Voyager Bulkhead nowt wrong with the slug-faced gorilla-armed Beast Hunters version. Lollo.
    -Voyager Armada Starscream and here come more Seekers, just when Hasbro also want to sell us BeeMovie 'con air. I'm starting to suspect Hasbro might like money.
    -Voyager Blaster will be fab, will have his cassettes in a Selects four-pack only available at the gas station in Kazanchis under the light of a sickle moon.
    -Voyager Inferno had better have the crazy grin! Fire ant monarchist for the win!
    -Deluxe Tarantulas wondering if will represent the Transmetal or not. Have discovered the original to be more fun than I thought as his claws are great for holding dismembered body parts, will doubtless buy this anyway.
    -Deluxe Skids as @Imperator said, had better come with Charlene and a bucket of soapy water accessory.
    -Deluxe Dragstrip hey, can always have one set of Stunticons combined, one in individual bot-modes, and another in vehicle-mode, right? #hooked
    -Deluxe Kickback hope they get his facial expression right. The G1 Bugs have never been equalled for style yet.
    -Deluxe Silverstreak (different numbering than other Deluxes, likely an exclusive) would be hillarious if his boxart had him in blue but the actual toy was silver.
    -Arcee is this the Prime version or the BeeMovie one? Just remembered I don't have BH Voyager Optimus, but maybe Toy-fu do....
    -Core Soundwave (Kingdom repack) wishlist: the 84-85 cast in this scale, at this price.
    -Core Energon Monster if this isn't a green Rat-Trap we riot.

    Studio Series:

    -Core 86 Ratchet
    the sort of medic who is purple and hunts moths and petrol savings.
    -Core 86 Rumble the sort of re-release to go with Netwave that people without Netwave can skip?
    -Core DotM Laserbeak had better turn into a monitor, instead will be frilled lizard with anatomically incorrect iguana head.
    -Core TF7 Wheelie now I'm thinking Dinobots, for they are beasties, are they not?
    -Core Bumblebee movie Ravage my plans to stop buying Movie toys are great, and occasionally almost work. Bay not Bee dammit! Only I bet Voyager Beewave will be neat. And the Beeformer designs remind me of my old fave, FOC.

    Trying to convince myself I don't want updated Prime toys. #CHUGlifer :rolleyes:

    If you see today's #deskbot and don't hear "Dare" we can't be friends.

    Arcee? Curious about that one.
    ...

    Origins stuff has a few quid off on Amazon, including Grayskull.

    I know there is a Menasor/Motormaster/Stunticon rumour, but I wonder if that Dragstrip is a Mirage repaint?

    HasTak don’t usually know what to do with Mirage (You’d think that Fracture, the Red-Diaclone or the G2-Joker would be obvious by now) and the precedent has been set….

    Drag Strip (G1) - Transformers Wiki

    Just a thought….

    That's a beautiful list of leaks to wake up to! Beasts and Bulkhead are the ones that have my attention most.

    20210812_094910.jpg Today's deskbot (at least until Rowdy Rodimus Piper shows up in a bit)... what robot wouldn't fall for an alt-mode as sexy and practical as this?

    Just told Google I was 101 after getting their 'this helps us comply with the law' fake Android message for the hundredth time. Yeah, it isn't about you profiling people at all...
    ...

    I've to go to Tesco, pray for me. They don't even sell good Transformers.

    LOL

    I think at TFN, if I get to go next year, I'll go around with a 'like' ink stamp and like you all as I go around.

    Obviously I'll be like 2 weeks behind so it'll be some other convention I am actually attending and the people might not appreciate it!

    Amazing.

    Rodimus also hates the fact that now he's a Prime, there's no end of old acquaintances coming out of the woodwork for help at the weekends.

    Grimlock: "Uh, Hi Rodimo, me Grimlock just claim old railway sleepers on freecycle to make raised beds to grow runner beans. You help move? Will give fiver for petrol."

    Rodimus: "Ugh..."

    At $9.99 it has to be a repack of the Core Class, right?
    Curious about the price drop for the Core Ratchet and Ironhide, could the Core class be getting simplified/cheapified?
    And what relation to these are Ratchet's (& Barricade's) profiles that are already up on the Kingdom website an indication of if the Core Vanbros are SS'86? Curiouser & curiouser!

    I chuckled and farts came out. You did this. You have added drastically to air pollution this day sir.

    I was a bit shocked hearing the Triple Takeover lads discuss collectors paying insane amounts for Styrofoam inserts and sheets to complete their collection, so after than I'm a little less surprized at things like this. Cake is after all delicious. And folks do get their rocks off collecting those bloody plates with the royals on them.

    Also a wee reminder Brendan, when your mother is cheesing you off, and you need to vent, I'm always happy for a chat. Also that you've plenty to offer the world - and the animals in it. Always something furry needing a kind fella like yourself to look after them. So look after yourself for us mate.


    Right?
    Wheres me bleeding Nova Prime Hasbro?

    Niiiicccce. My rodders is due today. Much excitement.


    Well done in joining the borg collective. We'll dispatch some drones soon to begin replacing limbs with egg whisks and the like soon.

    Duuuudde. Come on, I already buy enough plastic robots, pouring fresh warm enablement juice like this all over my screen is only going to make me spend money. :p 

    I can check for you dude, I have a combat hero prime handy somewhere and nemy primes trailer sitting on my desk.
    Captain Apollux's cryptic hint at first made me wonder if we had some G2 Prime goodness coming our way.... then it occured to me, we still haven't seen hilt nor hair of Amazon Prime?

    *Kicks Resident Evil DVDs under nearby table*

    Right? Totally. :oops: 

    I'm actually partial to that first Silent Hill movie. Seen that before I played any of the games (I know, I know) and found it entertaining enough. That latest Tomb Raider movie wasn't bad either, although I may have been shit-drunk when I saw it.

    I agree. Although I don't think we can call him recent anymore, that was 12 years ago. Fuck

    Rumour has it you won't sign anything paper based, only human flesh and meat produce.

    Quoted for truth. Payable only in the amber fluids drawn from that which lurks between.

    I'm hopeful for Transmetal Tarantulas. He just looks badass.

    fixed that for you. I haven't seen a single Transformer figure in any Tesco for at least 2 years. Not even Authentic one

    Just got a shipping notice (from Kapow) that G2 Ramjet is on it's way. Honestly forgot I ordered it so that's cool.

    You should wear a "Duocoo rates your post Like in "The UK Toy Discussion"" t-shirt at the convention.

    Hmm I haven't posted enough recently and/or you and @barry are liking at different rates or you could just wear a Barry t-shirt and confuse everyone even more lol.
