    They look fabulous

    I saw the sketches for Arcee but I haven’t read the comic yet. It looked like a solid carformer which is what I like about Roadrage.

    You absolute legend! I decided to go with a parcel but it's still not a bad price - I think I actually erased how much I paid for the target rainmakers out of my mind.

    Bad craic dude. Hope your Job remains safe.

    Nice work of spider boi and bird lady dude!

    Nice.

    I vote we change the name to the Northern Ireland Pariah Society. Or Nips if you simply must abbreviate.

    Good luck dude. Remember the coursework accounts for 30% of the final grade.

    Darn tootin!

    Is your tongue prisoner or warden of this dungeon?

    Drop me a pm dude, I can hook you up. ;) 

    Catching up on the thread has been a journey. Overjoyed at polar claw, gutted thst he was cut. Now... Hope.

    I always thought T30 rhionx would have made for a good base figure for a polar claw update.

    Glad she arrived safe Xaran! Condoplex is a definite must.

    Yes to all that, but also glyph and velociti - preferably a velociti based off her TF vs. TERMINATOR Appearance.

    We all desperately want to get into the sea.

    Soooo, no bayverse or SS86 reveals from pulsecon? Shame.

    The kingdom stuff looks class. Surprisingly taken with how good primal looks.
    Is the core class fossil lads able to turn into weapons and the like do we know?

    Well I’m a complete novice when it comes to modding, but I’m quite proud of putting some colour in my MP44 KO’s lifeless eyes.

    Yup, bone maces, tail swords etc. I know it's a time travel thing but that won't stop it looking daft as fuck when Cybertronians start using bones as weapons lmao

    There's been some positing that the core class Fossilizer might be more a Battle Master and be one weapon but I think that this may be a case that not all "Fossil" characters will actually be "FossilIZERS" as the Fossilizer blurb is prefixed to Paleotrex's blurb but not VB's, and they'd surely show it on the back of the card if such a thing were going on but nada?

    I got sent another link earlier for a UK seller I'd never heard of doing the Quint Pit but by the time I clicked on it, it had sold out. Sold something on eBay earlier so could cover the deposit for a set but now the fucking thing is due next week and no-one is taking deposits.

    I'm one signed Mike Patton and John Zorn CD or one dodgy book of black magick eBay sale away from being able to afford the one from Jon's link. ARGH!!!

    Not 100% sure how I feel about the Allicons and Quintessons. In media they work as an extra level of antagonist and in the world building toolkit. However there is something Happy meal about these nonformers that I find both pish and oddly charming.

    Stood next to the beautifully designed war machines of the Bots and Cons in their Classics/Gen guises, the Quints and cohorts look archaic and seemingly belonging to another toyline and age group. I know that's rich for me to say as an elderly man into toys, but these goofs are very much Primary school standard as they weeble and wobble their rotund ineptitude around like animated bendy Bullys and tankards.

    All said though I still want two more Allicons,
    though I still resent not quite knowing why exactly. IMG_20200928_225155_576~2.jpg

    Angry Birds Thor, excellent

    Just to add to the pain of anyone else who missed out on the quint pit earlier, the first UK pit has appeared on eBay...

    So rather than the Quintesson Pit for £99, I instead invested in eBay purchases of the Siege Micromaster 10 set and a Combiner Wars deluxe class Groove.
    I’ve fallen hard for the micromasters so figured I’d get the expensive stuff out the way first.

    I’ve been looking at the combiner war stuff and I know it’s old news but somehow all the four original scramble city guys got screwed with a replaced/@altered member. Menasor got Offroad, Defensor got Rook, Superion got Alpha Bravo and Bruticus got Quickslinger in Blastoff cosplay. Then somehow the correct members got released as special editions.

    Anyway I’m late night rambling and the deluxe Groove is an investment towards a proper Defensor later on.

    Unite Warriors version of Combiner Wars keeps it original and fixes that.

    Nice work on the Siege Micromaster 10 Pack. Where was that? Can never find them on eBay.


    Thank you @Napalm, I forgot to do the gift bit just the 10 USD. You are a legend.

    Are we now judged as guilty?

    Cheers gents. I am interest in the prospect of being able to combine the whole boney crew into a metal as fuck dino-bone combiner (in the same vein that more creative fans seemingly find incredible ways to combine the Weaponizer lads into larger bots).

    Anywhooo. Super/Ultra Megatron arrived today and holey balls if he isn't a damn fine robo stalin

    Unite Warriors tend to be very expensive on eBay at the moment. Especially against the price of the combiner war versions. But when I factor in the cost of the exclusive Groove, Blast Off, Wildrider etc it seems fair enough.
    As for the micromasters I found mine listed as siege micromaster 10 pack. I just did various searches using micromaster in it.
    They’re preowned without box but still cheaper than the listed price on Amazon USA.
