    Sorry to be the bearer of Bad News, Bobbie, but you just missed a round of Pre-Orders from GWorks, and he's gone back into hibernation so you'll need to keep one eye on his Twitter.

    I remember that one!

    So you say :sly: ;) 

    I have but only some episodes and many years ago when I was a kiddo. I must admit, you lot have had me wanting to look it up at some point as I feel I'd appreciate the humour more now than then :) 

    Ooh nice idea for Silverbolt! Always like a reimagining. As for being military planes I'm not sure if this is something I'm misremembering or just my brain made up but I seem to remember at some point Hasbro or someone trying to claim the Aerialbots are all civilian planes, that the limbs are air display planes... granted those tend to be military aircraft :lol 
    'course in G1 I feel like they somehow tried to pretend Powerglide didn't turn into an A-10 aka one of the toughest war planes out there :lol 

    *Looks at your Username* Checks out :thumb  And I agree! And yes yes, will be on it for Red Dwarf.

    Red Dward? That's a new one! :lol 

    Yes yes I'll watch it...

    Accurate.

    ...BRB need to find a moon prop.

    I feel like this might be Monkey Paw wishing... they heard we wanted Buzzsaw and are now confused we're not happier :lol .

    Ok ok already! :p 

    :lolol  That whole sketch is comedy gold!

    :banghead: :lol 

    Cockpits are valid when we have mini/micro/assorted masters around :D 

    Actually kind of surprised we've not really had Minicons or the like in live action yet. Cogman is probably the closest as an actual character. Not counting Allspark mutated appliances.
    Maybe Squeeks? I'm going purely off TFWiki here mind you.
    Oh wait their take on Wheelie too I guess... though if we talk about human sized bots I guess only 'Alice' the Pretender from RotF and Cogman?

    A few pages back when we had got even further off topic than usual a mod did come in and ask us to TRY to stay on topic and informed us if they cleaned out ALL of the off topic posts in this thread would only be 9 pages :lol . They claimed not to be kidding. :confused: 

    20211202_171728.jpg Rung checks the swooshability of his Ark toy.
    I love that that face also works for making wooshing noises :D  TBH I think I'll keep that as his 'default' face :lol  it amuses me!

    They can't even decide on an arbitrary point in time to go back to, because they can see @doucoo might visit us in the present day from any point in time, and that'd mean starting from page 1.

    As pointed out, that'd be a lot of purge work.


    I also like to think that all the USA mods like to drop in and marvel at our dry British wit and secretly enjoy our quirky sense of humour :lol .

    Or something...:confused2

    Finally got my refund from Sonner today! Unsure if its in response to my angry email last night (actually a normal email but with the phase 'This is not acceptable' in there) or if thats just when they were gonna get round to it anyway, but who cares.

    Will always remember the night i got in from work to a surprise Titan Scorponok delivery from them, but kind of like a once great relationship that went sour.

    Potentially Dark Horse comics is going up for sale, they've contacted a bank to explore their options. Shame, cos they did a lot of good stuff down the years but Disney taking full control of so many properties presumably lost them a lot of ground when the comic book industry wasn't exactly flourishing anyway. Then the whole distribution debacle in and outside of the pandemic... urgh. I wonder what they own outright because loads of their stuff hit the big screen, The Mask, 300, even Timecop lol.

    I enjoyed two parts of that movie. Both belonged to Pam. Three if you include the outfit. Oh, the 90s.

    ...
    This is way better than I dared hope for :D

    Love that show. Any legal means of watching it on this side of the pond yet?

    The Xmas episode is required viewing every year.

    I'm a fiddler. Every time I get a new transformer I fiddle, I play, I transform and go back around again. Those two? Too fiddly for my fiddlesome nature. They aren't by any means awful toys, but compared to some of the solid gold from MMC over the years.. yeah. Watch a view reviews.

    Christ, I was wondering how my cat had eaten all those wham bars. See a doctor Douglas!

    What a tune. Hi Large! Hope you are well mate!

    Let's pretend I was typing like I had a stuffed up nose, and not that my chubby wee fingers have been mistyping like frig today.

    I expect they allow a certain level of chaos because it keeps us locked in the reservation :p  and from causing distress among the normals.
    I do remember some discussion a few years back that they typically don't mind the wondering off topic in this thread because we typically keep it good natured. It's when things get contentious they step in.

    Speaking of, with whom do I speak about handsome maniacs with digestive issues breaking into my house and shitting under my desk? Mod? Police? Exorcist? Readers corner in Scat Monthly?
