I’m betting on the unexpected Red Hands version. No one will see it coming.

 

Having just watched that review it seems to me this gallery is pulled straight from it!
However the fists end up it looks like a cracking Prime overall, s'funny I was just wondering if the repair drone/turret could attach to OP like the door/shield and mere minutes later I see the front page article and then Ton Ton's review which 100% confirm that it's a 'Yes'.
Part of me is wondering if we might actually be seeing a Hasbro/Takara divergence in the offing? We'll find out early 2020, I guess?

 

@motorthing and @Underlord, glad to be of wallet wrecking assistance.

Definitely preferring this fella to his mold mate.

 

Or an even better twist: he comes with no hands at all.

 

You mean Camouflage hands!

or claws and I could complete my Empurata Prime

 

Late night robot opinions! Barricade is nice - the purple windows on the legs really make him. I'm struggling with the lack of a new head though. It just about works for me, but feels like a slightly missed opportunity.

Impactor is, well, Impactor. Pretty much spot on. Definitely one of those toys that I never thought I'd see. Just Rack 'n' Ruin to go now...

Mirage is a bit of a hidden gem. Great transformation, nice vehicle mode, and a pretty decent robot mode. He's a surprise favourite at the moment. I can absolutely see a Slapdash remould coming out of this. Probably Joyride too. Come on Select Series, you know you want to!

I'm off to bed now after spending too long playing Neverwinter. I've almost finished Undermountain - just one expedition to go...

 

Those New Age Seekers are blowing my mind. Both modes are bang on and the transformation is really nifty! I was a bit dischuffed to learn that in order to build the Spacebridge I’d need the Coneheads too, but their plane modes look so good it really softens the blow  

Still confused about Prime’s mitts and undercarriage...

 

Happy birthday! Have a great week off too.

Lol! Have to say though, I LOVE how the Tesla truck looks (and why - that’s it approaches manufacturing cars in a different way). And I’m assuming you have to wear a blue and white jumpsuit whilst driving it:

Yeah, their seekers look great! I think I’ll opt for the magic square ones due to a couple of nitpicks, but their engineering is blowing my mind!

Happy weekend all.

 

@barry have a fantastic birthday sir, enjoy.

And a merry weekend to you all in here. Off to Birmingham to spend some time with the boy, bowling food and a trip to smyths I reckon.

 

Happy Birthday @barry! Have a good one.

I've been mentally busy with work these past couple of days. Well I say work but it involves lots of driving up to and around Bedfordshire and OMG I HAVE TO BE BACK TO PICK UP THE KIDS FROM SCHOOL!

Ooof. But I did get another archery session with Boomer yesterday, 2 1/2 hours! But at this stage (only 2nd session) it's less about the target and more about getting technique right. Practice leads to consistant shooting, and from that you get good groupings (which is most important right now). Fine tuning the aiming comes a bit later.

But I did do this!



That was over the full indoor range (25 yds IIRC) with a... uh. 60cm target? If I was scoring I'd be using 3 arrows, but I was using 4 for the extra practice. But yeah I got quite a few rattlers yesterday (where the arrows are so close together they rattle when they go in).

So yeah. Good news is my poor showing during the training course was down to a rubbish bow (that I was always fighting) but the bad news is I have no excuses now...

Edit
Lastly the in laws are stayong around so I've slightly limited office access. I haven't responded to some calendar requests yet because I don't want to until it's down in the list. So I'm not ignoring anyone!

 

Happy birthday @barry  

Got the Rumble/Ratbat and Micromaster Combiner packs in from Kapow yesterday. I’d actually forgotten about them until I came home from work and saw them on the side. The Micromasters are great as usual and Ratbat has come out really well. Rumble is...okay? Just needed elbows.

 

Happy birthday @barry

 

Happy birthday, @barry !!

 

Happy birthday @barry !

I realised again today why buying TF's from other people is sometimes not worth it. Surely people notice when parcelling things up that bits are missing before they send it? Wouldn't you send a message first to the buyer?

 

"Come on, let's chat, just us girls, eh? Why are you shaking? Stop shaking before I destroy you!"

Yeah, I'm not made of stone. I cracked open this smarmy bitch and hoo boy, y'all was right about the robot mode. Anyway she's today's #deskbot.

And merry birthtime @barry!

 

this reminds me of the old Peppy Le Pew cartoons..

 

Are you hoping to take over the Hawkeye job?  

 

Well... the Bond film gig has probably dried up.

 

Happy birthday, @barry have a good one mate.

Ugh I got some vomiting bug. My wife is a teacher so there is always some sort of gift from her little Nurglelings.

Playing with some robots will cheer me up!


The endless battle rages on. Era after era.


But one will rise up to unite them all

...

And he must be stopped, no matter the cost!

 

These look incredible together.
