Guns don't kill people, Cybertron Optimus Prime kills people. With guns.

 

It's a real shame I appear to be incapable of capturing the way I feel about Siege Astrotrain within a picture.
I knew I wanted him, knew I'll love him, but couldn't imagine I'd find him that good. To me at least.
I'm serious, I just have to look at him and everything I love about Transformers since day one is there, flowing inside my body like pure, raw, unaltered love juice.



Also he makes me saying stuff.

 

Sooooo, uh, anybody else look at this monstrosity...

..and think, "Hmmm, Oilmaster Pretender Shell/Decoy Suit?"

Anyone?

Might be me back on my POTP on my bullshit again.

 

Yeah Hasbro’s official store on AliExpress! Could be a spoon, could be a fork!

@RoboW4rrior298 I can’t answer your question in the PM but if you go to the Hasbro Official Store on AliExpress and then search Transformers you’ll find some kind of listing that matches POTP deluxes.

Do these come boxed or with the cards and with instructions etc?

 

Thought I'd share my progress on my animated powermaster prime. Now transformable, just needs a few paint apps and a joint revision in the backpack. Otherwise, very near complete




There are more pics on my radicons thread if anyone's interested

 

Jesus christ, that's phenomenal. Are you going to be selling these? I can guarantee that this would be well out of my price range, but I reckon you could shift a few of these!

Right, hive mind of the UK toy discussion, seeing that yellow Bumblebee jeep has dislodged a memory of a Yellow Jeep 'transforming robot' toy I had when I was younger. I was very aware that it wasn't an official transformer, and i'm fairly sure it wasn't a gobot. I don't recall it feeling cheap and KO ish, In fact I remember it being quite detailed. I think it had a 'pull back' motor, it was roughly deluxe sized, and the head popped out of the hood a la Hound. Any help?

Oh, and it wasn't one of those Macau 'motorised robot toys', nor a mini spy.

 

We could nail your hands to the desk if that would help to stop you? Always ready for an intervention!

 

I remember teachers and also my parents doing a lot of scaremongering about whether the conflict would spread and become a nuclear situation which at the time proved my theory that adults were bastards  

These days we're so used to seeing footage of wars on the news that nobody bats an eyelid but back then it was totally new and even though it was scary to think about what the camera footage from aircraft actually represented it was
also hard to look away.

I seem to recall EA catching some flak for Desert Strike when it came out but at least that was a decent game and not like current EA who deservedly catch flak for selling the bare bones of a game and then trying to make you pay for the rest of it.

 

Thanks man, I'd love to be able to sell a few but I'll need to streamline the printing process because otherwise it takes too long to justify.

Also, is the toy you're thinking of alternators swindle?

 

Perhaps we could start with a less invasive preventive measure? I'm currently debating over the Kapow Offer on Battletrap for a robot form for him as there were rumours of the Double Pretender shells containing "combiners" but that would entail getting an extra Skytread to boot mix shirt and pants (and have an upper torso one can just about stuff a Prime Master in), plus having to run the risk on whether Roadtrap will dye purple or not. A highly First World Dilemma but, as we may be shortly enduring third world problems should certain circumstances unfold, I'll enjoy it as a leisure while I can.

 

I read that and thought “don’t be silly, Alternators are FAR too recent for someone to remember them from their childhood”

Until I realised that they are 16 sodding years old and now I know I’m showing my age....

 

Ventured across the border to raid some Northumberland castles and stroll down some very windy beaches. The Missus needed a little get away. Came back an hour ago to find that Spinister and Crosshairs are with a neighbor, but they are not in. I’ll accost them tomorrow.

 

Very first post on these boards.

Transformers fan from my childhood in the 90s recently discovered Siege and that was it, first toy in about 20 years. Now I'm hooked.

Wanted to say hi to any other uk transformers fans

 

Welcome  

You are in good company here....

 

Thanks great to here.

Currently have a siege collection of 4 but with earthrise coming, that will only grow.

 

Time flies sometimes - I was thinking I must play that DLC I bought recently then I checked when I bought it - it was January 2018.

So yeah I seem to have lost time- where them alien saucers hiding !!

Oh and heads up TKMAXX have actually been getting some Siege/SS & POTP transformers in.

 

And I strongly suggest you hide your wallet *before* coming online...

 

 

Hi! Siege got me back into buying Transformers too. Only started posted recently as well because of it.

 

Good to be in this together,   what was your first one?

 

I should have pointed out that when I said I was younger, we're talking tof a time period circa 1988!

I'm old...

Welcome, welcome! What Siege figures have you picked up?

20 years! That's a lot of awesome to catch up on! If you have any questions, let us know!
