I would be interested cost dependent. It at least means I can display him next to his shell that way.

 

Happy Birthday Sid, enjoy your Titan Scorpion tonight!

 

Oh God. I was gonna do my Doubledealer review today but then I fell asleep and woke up feeling like shit.

Spoile. I like him but he's got a floppy left arm and transforming his legs is annoying and somewhat terrifying. You've got to do it JUST right and even then gotta spend time tidying him up.

 

Same Idiot: I LOVE that Wheeljack can Flight Mode!"

What kind of idiot doesn't realise such an easy fanmode?
I'll tell you - the kind of idiot that is too fixated on using the detachable spoilers as wingtips and brings the arms fully out to robot mode orientation before struggling with getting any kind of nice straight jutting wing!

How did I miss it?
The same way it's taken me until now to realise that with his extra Mirage bits he can cobble together a passable C.O.M.B.A.T. Shock Blast Cannon! D'OH!

 

For anyone interested, here’s the fan mode weapon for the “Frumble” mold.



Fits on the forearm like a double barrel blaster or since it’s Autobot mercenary work, stun gun to bring in alive.

The Ratbat crossbow for Decepticon assassination or interrogation however...used the Electro Bolter in Fall Of Cybertron? You already know what it does and it’s not pretty for the bot or con on the receiving end. it takes a bit more imagination though.  

 

He gets a right pounding on this site I realise - but even if he's not your cup of hemlock the just published Blobby Skullbonce Sit Down Saturday about Hasbro Pulse has a couple of interesting nuggets about the UK market and what happened to HasUK in 2018. Sounds legit. He obviously spoke to one of our UKRetail Heroes to get the insight too.

Worth a listen for those what cares.

 

So Forbidden Planet dispatched it to you in good order and earlier than stated on the website, colour me very surprised indeed.

 

Hmm, that Prime looks very toy like, gives me hope for Defensor.

 

Yeah, me too  

 

Ooooh I like this. Skar looks good as a "normal" crossbow.

 

Indeed he does! Glad to see it works with Knok too, getting my selects dudes very soon. I like your configuration with Skar much better which I think I’ll adopt.

 

Really enjoyed that, won't spoil it here, but how shite were HasUK before now?! Jump to 4.40

 

Happy birthday @CZ Hazard. Hope it's been delightful.

 

 
Anyone else still awaiting their ID Toys delivery of the Seekers? I was hoping as I paid the invoice balance middle of last week that they would have been delivered at least by today?
On the positive side of deliveries, I also ordered Commander Modesty from said ID which arrived yesterday!  

Feeling pretty shite at the moment so not unboxed him yet, maybe tomorrow.

Been told my job is being made redundant due to downturn in trade (folk bringing in scrap metal!) so my job role and 3 general yard op's are 'under consultation' from Monday over a two week period after which we will find out if a position can be made available for us.  

When I say we are under consultation, the company have already made their decision who they are choosing, three guys who are still on furlough and me!
It is being blatantly talked about like it's the norm but taking advice from my wife who works in HR for another company this practice is not the correct procedure and every yard op should be being interviewed as they all do the same job.  

This is a huge metal recycling company which has depots around the world and trades internationally yet they seem to be quietly playing by their own set of rules regarding the legalities of their actions.

I'm not one to upset the apple cart, I don't like confrontation. I've been with them for thirteen years and can do the job's asked of me with my hands behind my back!
Working weighbridge for ten years slipping into added administration then depot co-ordination, it's the co-ordinator role which is out yet there is no dedicated or experienced weighbridge or administrator available in the depot to take over?
I only hope my meeting on Wednesday goes well and all they are doing is 'downgrading' the role back to Weighbridge Administrator?  

Apologies for the rant but if I'm out I have no idea right now how I am going to support my wife and two young children during this current time.
 

 

Cheers pal. Every year I get older but it seems like it's my toys which are growing.

 

Hot damn! Compared to the last video I saw by him that was pretty thorough and competent proper toy news journalism! Context and everything!

 

That’s tough Mel  

Good luck with your meeting. Hopefully it works out for you, they’ll want to be careful with how they carry that investigation out or they’ll be under investigation themselves in the near future if another of your colleagues “upsets the apple cart” as you say  

All the best 

 

Prime Wheeljack is great. And despite what a lot of people seem to say - including the Wiki - his engineering skills are NOT completely absent, between repairing the Jackhammer, probably making his own bombs, and helping Raf build 'Chip' to track Ratchet in Season 3, he shows he clearly still has that skill even if he's not full on mad scientist in this continuity.

 

It wasn't just you :'(

 

@robotmel No need to apologise, Mel, it's disgusting, and unfortunately it seems very much like certain folks attitude to procedure and flouting rules & laws is the only true "trickle down" effect.
Best of luck moving forward, and, if you don't have a Union, deffo get on the blower with ACAS and/or Citizen's Advice!
