    I've never bought from ebay. So I don't know. I just know in the past I've seen people buy great "deals" on video game consoles, only to get the Box.

    -edit-

    I mean for the person to sell them the box, without the buyer reading the fine print and thinking they were getting the full deal.

    I can't not love this phrasing.

    I've shopped on ebay for years and I know this deal seems a little fishy.

    Ah. Well a robot dromeosaur is neat.

    Ok, random headcanon, Slash is insecure about her size (being the smallest of the team), so she often feels useless. But Swoop has taken it apon himself to make it known Slash is a valued member of the team.

    My slight headcannon on Slash is that she yells everything (due to her Cards having all English).

    Which, if she's the Dinobot Scout, not sure how sneaky it would be to yell everything.

    Kinda cute.

    "What's that little shrimp gonna do? She's worthless."

    *Swoop decks whatever Decepticon said that*

    "Sister Slash Dinobot! And that good enough!"

    Ok...I'm good with this now. See, I ship her and Beachcomber (opposites attract, yeah?), so I was worried there for a minute.

    Also, this made me think of Sister Sledge.:D

    I always felt that Slash is a female bot for the following reason, which makes the absolute most sense to me. I will accept no other reasons:

    Presumably it's for the "right to purchase." Yeah, that's as stupid as it sounds, it seems that was a big thing in the fanatical world of babywearing (YES, you read that correctly.)

    That would be Slash. From the name, I think she should have a guitar or something. :cool:  :music 

    The gun is from Gen. Doubledealer. She looks better with it than he ever did. I figure Slash is the smartest and the fastest of the Dinobots, so she can use that to cajole the others, even Grimlock, into shape. :)

    I like the figure a lot. :thumb

    It feels like this guy and Grimlock have set the tone for the Voyagers. They get so much spot on, and then get it really wrong in ways that you just can't ignore.
    If I judge this guy on just the torso and head sculpt then this is the best CHUG Starscream I've ever seen. That face is just full of the icy contempt and superiority that I associate with Starscream, and the other '84 Seekers. And I totally love it. It's pretty much perfect.
    But then he's got the limbs of a 'bot from a totally different size class. And while I'm not one of the many that are - quite reasonably - up in arms about the stickers, they don't look good at all. Less said about the null rays, wings and jet mode the better.
    What? Yes, of course I'll buy a PotP Skywarp and Thundercracker based on this mold.
