    The Banzai-tron could make an actual appearance on the G1 shelf as a lovely update to his original action master toy.

    I bet Hasbro have an eye on it if they don't already have AM plans. Though I'd expect them to keep that alive either in a sneaky way through this maybe (?) or their RED line.

    I'll have to pretend I didn't see that post, do not need another action figure line to collect......

    First ever TFSource order...MP Newage Movie Soundwave.

    They've got a special offer for this weekend on that figure---50 USD giftcard.

    Let's see how/when that'll come in through the post :D

    And in the last bit of news for the day I’ve got two copies of the Barricade/PCP set on their way to me now.
    Both at wildly different prices but I know they’ll refund the difference in shipping cost so that’s cool.
    Got a random refund of £4 on the two Slitherfangs I purchased back in August last year.

    Jesus, never would have expected to see AM Bombshell or Banzaitron rear they head! I'm tempted.

    The first are surely the Lightning Strike Coalition, aka the Dynobots. Or possibly Jolt and his cattle prod whips. But don't worry, dissidents! They're all on our side, see? They're the good guys! :cool: 

    As for the second:

    Und der Haifisch, der hat Zähne
    Und die trägt er im Gesicht
    Und Macheath, der hat ein Messer
    Doch das Messer sieht man nicht.

    An 'nem schönen blauen Sonntag
    Liegt ein toter Mann am Strand
    Und ein Mensch geht um die Ecke
    Den man Mackie Messer nennt.


    Which is more Sunstreaker when not driving past Charlene's car-wash muttering "what that Honda City ho-bot got, that sexy Sunny don't got?", I believe. :rolleyes: 

    Anyway, two votes on petition, thats one See aitch and one, um, is this supposed to say "Vortex"? Bloody Combaticons, how many times will they have to repeat third grade? Anyway Blitzwing's, like, their Ro-Dad or something, so we'd better carry the motion before we get thrown out of a pilotless helicopter. HURRAH MOTION CARRIED BUMSENKRIEGER IS IN! :)

    That does not bode well for my own AE Thrust order, not that I've tried contacting them admittedly...

    Thanks!

    That's an interesting headcanon you got there! And all those windies! Several decos I don't have and I forgot about the mini Cyberverse one which I don't have. I have the default deco of the Windsaber figure too. I would sorely love the Combiner Hunters three pack both for Ceremonial Windblade and Stealth Arcee. The Chromia is nice enough too :D 
    The Fort Max RiD Windblade doesn't appeal so much as they have barely any connection, a Metroplex coloured Windblade would have been better IMO.

    Also fun reading your headcanons in general, thanks :D 

    Ah, Brunch is on the way. Enjoy ;) 

    Stop making me want to get TR Arcee dammit! :p 

    I really expected a Cybertronian Blitzwing in Siege :(

    Anyone got a Siege Optimus they'd be willing to sell?

    It's nice to finally see Transformers toys with alternate cartoon/toy head options, something MP should have been doing.

    And Banzaitron? I'm listening......

    I dunno mate, those could honestly be £60 delivered here, aren't likely to meet even that release date, and like even hardcore folks are afraid to touch Super 7 because once you start... And they've had QC issues recently with the TMNT line, just FYI. Just my take ;) 

    I wish I'd thought of Brunch!

    That may be your threepenn'orth but yer actual Kriegsmesser is way schärfer being a two-handed blade of a Landsknecht who were often mercenaries, plus 'e's a "Mess" in the head, innee? Animated you gotta keep some kinda Germanic/Austrian nod, right?

    I'll admit up front that this is a random ass question. It's regarding POTP Rodimus. Are the flames on the chest of his Hot Rod mode stickers? 99% sure they aren't but I really don't want to buy it if they are

    That's true, and more hands would mean less other extras so I guess it works out pretty well, just a bit frustrating trying to get certain weapons to stay in the hands.

    The heads are compatible with the 2 Peely's, it was the first thing I checked when I opened Agent Peely! :D 

    I keep looking at Havoc as a base to make a GI Joe Firefly which I've seen a few people do as an alternative to the Classified Series figure.

    April is as kooky as ever. Mind you, the TMNT aren't exactly keeping it ninja at the best of times...

    Yup, stickers, and shit stickers at that! Godawful feebly, fragile, foily affairs to boot, if they're misapplied you can pretty much forget about peeling & reapplying 'em. They can tear like tissue paper.
    The quality of official Hasbro TF stickers tanked from TR Post-Fort Max (whose sticker were passable but too few on the stock non-Convention version, and a tad ropier than Metroplex's) onwards (particularly Trypticon's official stickers which were a nightmare) but dipped even further with POTP to absolutely dire.

    As far as I recall (my POTP Rodimus is in storage and was toyhaxed up) but his chest is not stickered in either Hot Rod or Rodimus mode. There are however various terrible stickers elsewhere on the figure, his shoulders, shins etc.
