I've made my peace with the coming EUrpocalypse, and know that one as soft as I cannot survive in the Brexit wasteland, So I plan to enjoy the plastic crack while I can before I inevitably get taken by bandits to be used as meat or a sex slave. Perhaps both.

Agreee on all points Chris, but given how nice the rest of the wave has been, I'll accept this as the Karmatic cost of such as sweet line of figures.

I actually think Siege BlowPipe and Firedrive have more accomplished gun modes than their Legends counterparts. Everything just clicks in in a more solid way and looks less like poorly hidden legs are sitting on top of a cannon, with backwards arms sitting down the sides. But then again, the Legends guys have nicer paint work, better quality plastic and articulation.

 

Shit, he knows too much. I think its time for old Barryington to have a tumble down a flight of knives...

 

Well.... knee articulation.

 

After Bruticus I think they're basically going "Even if we completely make up a combiner we're better than everyone else."

And they're dead right.

Given the intricacies of working at their chosen scale there's so little in the way of compromises to anything on Bruticus and there's even some innovations like the combiner kibble forming a trailer for Onslaught that can fit Blast Off on the back, it's nothing short of amazing.

I got my Magic Square Blaster & Ramhorn this morning and they're great.

Transformations for both Blaster & Ramhorn are similar enough to DX9 Soundwave & Ravage that they either got designed by the same person or outright copied it and they work really well.

Alt modes are OK but bot modes are the main event and I've yet to be disappointed with a Magic Square product. I'd like them to make a Steeljaw and either include it with the repaint or another figure (preferred).

 

It's more of an honour debt thing, @Red leader knows what he did, the generous wazzock!  

No argument from me, the Siege fellas pull a tighter transform, and I'll gladly forego knees for that. Plus the LG Gunbuddies can't wield their own barrels can they? Even if they can, I wouldn't fancy my chances popping off transparent plastic frequently!

 

Ah yes, sometime I forget the rest of the board exists  
Good advice, the appreciation threads seem like a good place to post such things.

 

True enough! I'm not even overly keen on popping the bits of the POTP or Siege guys and they are meant to be removable.

But... the LG guys are well pretty in bot mode.

 

Have yourselves a very jazzy Christmas.

 

Just put my order in for the 2nd run UT Challenger from Omegalock as he has UK stock now.

 

Having missed out in the Chaos on Velocitron set both times, plus losing an ebay auction for a G2 Laser Optimus, I decided to take matters into my own hands...





And in other news, Cog has spoken out against allegations of cosmetic surgery...

 

For those of you who held out and held out, rather than pay over inflated prices, Smith’s at Mansfield is swamped in Potp sludges and snarls at 16.99. Saw at least ten of each.....

 

Did you happen to notice any Siege figures there at all?

 

woah, that G2 prime is really cool.

 

Is that a custom Prime? Very nice work. I didn't even realise until I looked at the cab where the red edges are.

Woo! Got my shapeways sstuff delivered today. So tonight will be a case of smokestacking my classics Prime, and other fun little gubbins of things.

 

Clever BOY!

 

 

Cheers chaps, rather happy with how he came out, and gotta love reprolabels!

Had to be done!  

 

THIS PAIR OF GORGEOUS CHUNKY THINGS HAVE BEEN EYEING ME WORKING MY BALLS OFF ALL DAY...



...AND, ALLEGEDLY, THERE'S A SIDESWIPE WAITING FOR ME AT HOME TOO  

 

Sadly not, my money remained in my wallet this day!

 

So only a couple of days ago I got an official MP Shockwave from Cash Converters and I am already debating selling him. I really like him, hes perfect but I really like money T_T
