    As the spooky season draws to a close, so does my spree of horror themed pics!

    It's far too much fun getting spooky with the bots.

    ...stop making the green look good in hand! :mad: 


    :eek: 

    I was going to dispute that ALL the Windblades had the same look, the Rid15 and Cyberverse versions being quite different looks, but re-reading your post I get what you mean. Rid15 Drift is clearly inspired more by the Bayverse one and both of those are to such a point as to be unrecognisable as the same character as the Generations/IDW version.
    I do want to snag him at some point. One of the threadizens ( @Maniac23 I think? ) selling stuff recently had one I heavily considered but I had to hold fire on him as I was already getting other figures and needed to cut myself off. Maybe someday :)  I also want the Blurr who's his moldmate as he seems my best chance at getting an IDW style Blurr, even if he's not a Cybertronian Blurr like from the Windblade comic as I do not like G1 Blurr's weird head.

    :eek:  gorey indeed!

    :lol 

    :jawdropper: 
    This is what I've been saying since Siege started, haven't I been saying it? Hasbro why didn't you do this? He looks fantastic, the mold works as well as I always imagined!
    What parts did you use for him? I'm just... wow, I can't get over how well this works! :eek: 

    :lol  That's great!

    That is a tiny Hot Rod!

    The Asian Transformer mafia!

    Some of them under their own power!

    :lol  This made me actually laugh out loud!

    :lolol 

    I know, it's great! :D  When watching it my brother and I were getting major Crisis on Infinite Earth vibes from the CW adaption of Crisis. Great fun!

    You just know if I ever track down that guy that Hasbro will release a new, fancier one! Mind you they may be reluctant to release a figure called Lockdown for a while...

    Happy Halloween to you too! :D 

    Ooh interesting, and sneaky!

    I do love this idea of Grimlock as a veteran in the Beast era. :) 

    In my case it's the other way around. Mum is easy to buy for, Jigsaws, Books, CDs...
    My Dad on the other hand... hard to buy for, rarely asks for anything :banghead:  end up giving him money then he suddenly has things he wants to buy. WHY NOT ASK FOR THEM ?! Or other times, he'll buy a bunch of stuff between birthdays/christmas/father's dad which would have made GREAT presents ><

    Oh well, since he discovered Steam, Steam cards seem to be a pretty solid gift for him:lol

    Nothing wrong with a steam card!

    My dad is football nuts. And loves a good thriller novel. So he's easy enough to sort.

    Funny thing is, my temporal agent has just reached level 65 and unlocked the old featured episode arcs which i haven't played in such a long time, so the timing was perfect to get that on halloween. I remember What Lies Beneath being a spooky episode, but I'd forgotten just how creepy that bonni kin was when it suddenly went off.

    Loving the gb jumpsuit with the proton backpack.

    If you want the smaller guys for Metroplex, you'll want to look for a Siege Sixgun and the upcoming Kingdom Slammer. Apparently Slammer is meant to be able to form a tower with the generations metroplex, though no one has seen that yet.

    Roritchi is specifically coloured for black zarak. The original Scorponok toy had a little guy called Fasttrack with him and when the Scorponok toy was repainted into Black Zarak, Fasttrack was repainted into Roritchi. I just wanted each of my titans to have a pair of little guys, so Scorponok got fasttrack and roritchi, since I'm not getting black zarak. I gave fort max Cog and Sixgun since i dont have metroplex, trypticon has brunt and his car guy and omega has a pair of Ironworks.

    My toon is having more fun with hers than I get to have until the Haslab one comes out in 20-bloody-23... :lol 

    But yeah, I saw the Enterprise uniform being recoloured as a GB jumpsuit idea on Reddit and as a fan of the films, I had to do it for myself.

    It has come to my attention that Doctor Who was on tonight.

    I saw, like... NO advertising for this whatsoever. Man, I remember when a new series of DW starting was an event. Now it's not even trending on Twitter. Oof.

    They did do quite a marketing campaign for this one, kind of surprised you managed to miss it. Also I was just on Twitter and it was trending. Weird. Though I avoided looking at any tweets, I know better than to read comment sections online as they tend to devolve into hateful places ^^

    Hmm... maybe I just didn't notice then, I tend to ignore any and all ads nowadays. I also don't watch anything on TV that isn't a streaming service, so I haven't turned on the BBC in ages... :lol

    You did? Fantastic. I am so glad! That one caused me a lot of stress and worry but I've always wanted to do a Halloween special of something. :)

    Definitely! I'd never actually realised how much horror they crammed into transformers, but there it is! You've no need to worry, every episode has been a belter.

    Yeah.. it's certainly skewed towards all things Keith. Although they definitely promoted this via hot ticket FT Hannibal so may just be a case of them chasing where the money is. XTB, for all their faults, are prolific in the 3P MP game.

    Asking out loud but won't get a reply: is there any likelihood of a TF reveal/preorder this week? I can't be arsed to trawl the outside world for whatever the rumour is just now.
