Wait, are these Transformers or My Little Pony characters?  

@Lothar Hex very good review of Nemesis Prime  

 

Rodimus almost had the transformation, what with the legs-to-arms and the front of the vehicle mode as the chest. I'm still a little surprised it didn't happen.

In other news I've been watching SSSS.Gridman and after that article about the shattered glass references almost none of the names are sticking.

 

Not sure to be honest as I'm currently wondering whether Kapow are ever going to get Slipstream in stock as I ordered that back in March along with the Combiner Hunter Windblade which I know other people have had but I've heard nothing on either.

 

Interesting...there's one member in both the FT Superion and Menasor threads saying how crap those designs are, and how he'd make them better, including lines over the renders etc etc.

It's been years since I remember somebody doing that...and last time that a$$hole managed to land a job with a company and now cannot stop telling us how all the wonderful things are his and any bad things are the fault of the designer.

Interesting to see if this old trend will get a proper shut up this time or if it'll go on and bring back all the other armchair designers.

 

Well, I've just Castlevania'd and I'm with @Large but I'd substitute 'heart' for 'testicles', ol' uncle gut-punch strikes again. No wonder G-Moz calls Warren a "percussive" writer, he doesn't pull heartstrings he just slams you in the solar plexus.
Corking animated series.

 

Randomly browsing the smyths website and who should pop up but the Potp Prime brothers, sorry Optimus not Nemesis. I guess they sold some more starscreams.

 

Con wants - StudS Devastator as I have a real soft spot for horrific monstrosities in loud colours and it's fucking marvellous just how ballsy an 8 robo combiner is.

That MMC Aero repaint is gorgeous.

Maaaybe DOTM Megatron. If they nail his headsculpt and paintjob I'll forgive anything else.

IF need to release that bloody Baldigus deco stat. I would love a police deco Racing Bros - that's surely gotta happen, right? And bring on the DJD.

 

Did anyone catch Inside No 9 tonight??

 

Totally forgot about it and watched 'Death Line' instead.
"MIND THE DOORS!"
Did they have some kind of technical sound issue? Or did some folks on FB mistake a deliberate stunt?

 

Got a message this morning from TFS saying my Magic Square Ultra Magnus will be here tomorrow!  

 

The whole thing was a stunt. I pity the fool who turned over when it looked like we were getting a replacement repeat of an old episode.

 

Morning folks -

happy to report that POTP Nemesis Prime was/is worth the wait - never normally fussed about Nemesis repaints, but this guy just has that 'something' about him - absolutely loving the multiple weapons too -

oddly excited at the SS Devastator reveal - always quite liked the Movie Constructicon designs, even if Mixmasters transformation is like Badcube on Acid... almost making me want to go all in on the SS line...

 

Dead tempted, but his headsculpt irritates me in its lack of character.

Feeling like buying FT Quietus which concerns the fuck out of me as he is coming across as a real mixed bag. Do love Cyclonus though. Top bloke. Whatever incarnation, the fella always puts others first. His honour. His boss. His mates. His planet. His love.

 

Apparently IF Slipstream is at Kapow now. Which means I only have to wait for Mirrored Commander to be released to have my orders shipped.
And they said March 2018. IF you liars!

 

NEVER put any stock in an IF release date. Or 3P in general. It's the unwritten rule.

 

Well, it’s written now.  

 

My brain keeps on at me for SS Devastator but I think I can resist. Finally getting the toy it deserves is a good thing but they have no place in my collection. I think the pull comes from them being something like 250% more interesting in design than the G1 Constructomen.

I have a serious dislike of the these thick chunky cloth capes on DOTM Megs and that MMC fella. At least for the latter I could just put it aside...

No! Must be strong!

 

Could be a little more delicious, but it's not bad!

December/January and February/March...I reckon.

Last week in this silly panic attack of a department. Cannae wait.

And look who showed up to wish me well. It's only the big version!

This is the one I remember from being a kid. A far superior bike-former to yer G1 Wreck-Gar, in my less than humble opinion!

 

The only time I remember seeing it on TV was as part of the Fun Factory on Sky One.

 

Whelp, that was a fun uet expensive con (about half the amount spent as at TFNation but still)

So many news credits  

And I ordered Doragon this morning

That is me now done buying anything toy related until new year. Got most of Seige preordered and paid up for last month so have to wait to order UM and micromasters unless I see them in person
