    um....I dont have riddle.

    But the Arnold Target does have about a dozen or so of the Origins/ Cybertronian Bumblebee on the pegs.

    I appreciate the jokes, but can you confirm what these are actually? Is the first one Scorponok??

    Let’s see, who else got killed on Beast Wars and didn’t get a TM or TM2 toy? Granted, Inferno’s TM was named Scavenger, and Tigatron shared his with Airazor thanks to the Vok, but…I can’t think of anyone else besides this guy.

    That one should have said “fingers,” not “feathers.”

    And it’s frustrating that Hasbro would give the Diaclone-sourced character that had two shoulder launchers (since his hands couldn’t hold a weapon) only one launcher in this rendition.

    I’ll have to look up the theme song for the other guy when I get home.

    I figured the Scorponok one out fine. The rest I had no idea. I had no idea Wheeljack had multiple shoulder launchers, and am still not sure who Thurston Howell refers to.
    My point isn’t to be a jerk, but to point out that you’re asking people with less knowledge than you to put in some research on a thread that’s just supposed to be helpful.
    Obviously let’s have fun here, but I personally would appreciate helpfulness in addition to that fun. If I’m in the minority here, I’ll shut up.

    Wingfinger is actually the literal translation of the scientific Greek term "pterodactyl"... so I'd go ask who named the Pterodactyl lol, cute joke though, shame it confused me and a lot of people due to the mistaken word.

    Also pretty sure Thurston Howell was Tracks, as that's who Track's G1 VA based his voice on.

    GameStop in Florissant had 2x Gen selects Transmutate and 1x Gen Selects Deep Cover. 1 Transmutate left with me.

    these also qualify for their 20% deal so you can get the for $20.04 after tax.

    Here's what Gamestop online is showing for in-store pickup for Transmutate. I'm going to wait for my Pulse pre-order for it to come in, so have at it!

    Seconded. We come from a lot of different walks of life and no two people have the exact same library of pop culture knowledge. I can go to a pub quiz at a bar down in soulard and clean house but if I go to a community center trivia night with my folks I'm dead weight because I didn't grow up with the same media they did. I don't want to be bitchy or for this to come as a personal attack but your little clues are often more frustrating than amusing. I'd rather spend 10 minutes getting out to a store to hopefully get a figure than spend that time unraveling a clue for a figure I don't even want, you know? (I did like the wingfinger one though!)

    Perhaps a nice compromise would be to do the clues as desired but then post the answers further down in the post?


    I do not believe I know you, good sir or madam, but I am most appreciative for your timely info!

    Fangry is still a little ways away, no?

    Here's the Target rundown:

    Chesterfield Valley Target: nothing new.
    Baxter/Holloway & Manchester: Nothing new.

    Clayton & 141 - two pegs full of BB origin and another two pegs full of cyberverse smashers in buzzworthy flavor. Also 2 green little boneraptors.

    Brentwood Target: vapor fumes. Nuthin' on the pegs.

    Too bad Florissant is at the complete opposite side of town for me, I really wanted that Tracks but the way gas turns to vapor in this heat = hardly worth the coupon I have.

    Stay cool m'peeps.

    Great time for my phone to die (last night), was off the grid for most of the day and just now seeing these sightings.

    You mean this Fangry?

    He is in the worlds collide box that was seen around earlier… which I need to thank GalaxyISMe for the heads up. Picked up two of the six at the kirkwood Target, one for me and one for this hawk guy you may or may not know.

    Hoping I can find a way to get just Fangry at some point. Otherwise just looking for Origins Bee, Scorp, and (when he shows up) Roddy.
