    Ah, I'd assumed that Regular Rodders chest was done the same way as Rodimus Unicronus! My bad!

    If those retro Marvel figures were gonna work out cheaper here and I could guarantee safe delivery I'd have them as a wall display... think that Marty McFly will have to be bought though.

    The greatest Blitzwing, no doubt. If Hasbro want to knock out some updated animated figures I’d be game.

    Ah thats good, as I say I was almost 100% sure it wasn't a sticker but thought it best to check. After seeing a few comparisons I'd actually be pretty happy to display it in Hot Rod mode to use as Rodimus. It scales pretty damn well with the SS86 figure

    That's what I was using him as, my Rodimus Prime (don't have 86 Hot Rod yet though) but in my own head cannon I used his Rodimus Prime mode as a Powermaster mode! Unfortunately I have limited space so had to put him away as I await the aforementioned 86 Hot Rod, but I still really like the figure :cool:

    Out of curiosity, is plumping for POTP Rodders over waiting for the upcoming Commander Class version a budgetary or aesthetic choice?

    Galvatron.

    Getting there. Just watched everyone loves hurley. Finally getting some bleed through into the other timeline, but they really should have had hints of that from the start,not even having it as a "this is their lives if the plane did land safely" by changing stuff prior to the plane meant i just didn't care for the off island stuff, it's not the characters we know, it's not showing us the characters we know if they safely made it to la so what's the point? Made even worse by the off island stuff feeling like it takes up the majority of the episodes. Even if i am pretty certain at least someone is going to cross over into the island timeline by the end of all this.


    6 years ago, they never sent my mp wheeljack and never responded to emails. I only went with them now out of desperation. But a mate of mine has never had a problem and used them for years, so fingers crossed for ya.


    Hi noite watch. Unusual for me to be a member. Lol.

    It's aesthetic really, the Hot Rod robot mode works (for me anyway) really well as a Rodimus. But also, It's just down to the fact that Commander Class is £80. I could definitely afford that but I'd rather not spend that much on a figure that'll be Leader Class height at most.

    £58 sounds about around what I paid from mine after import fees when he first came out.

    Takara Ratchet’s release day is supposed to be today if that helps

    Is the Kingdom Wave 2 release date confusing anyone else?

    ID's Facebook says they're coming in February yet Kapow, ID's store have it as April. Also, Smyths have it as March and their expected release date is usually about a month before the actual release

    Also Unicron. He kills the Coneheads on Cybertron (despite them showing up alive and well in Season 3).

    He kills Shockwave in a deleted scene.

    And I've always argued that he killed the Decepticons who were tossed into space, their bodies turn grey and a few moments later they all have a brand new personality. Besides, "new troops to command" supports that as well.


    Between Hasbro's distribution and Bojo's u turns this year is already turning into 2020 : Electric Boogaloo isn't it?

    Grimlock. When they are fleeing to the shuttles in Autobot city I believe he takes a couple of sweeps down with his vindaloo breath.
