Me too !

The wording is vague - unsure if it's a review of all three on Wednesday / Thursday or if it's just override. No Hotrod parts, all new - and Hauler has an angry / shocked face  

Seems to be an ongoing discussion in the speculation thread if anyone wants to keep up with it !

 

Sadly I know from experience speculation threads are not good for my mental health... I'll stick with the filtered goodness from those threadizens brave enough to er brave them! Your thread thanks you for your service *salutes*

Edit: Tinfoil hat time, Override will be retooled into 'Comic Universe' aka IDW MTMTE Rodimus.

 

I'll only dip a toe into the water outside of this thread. There's some proper lunatics on these boards  

 

In fairness, there are some lovely and fun people outside the thread as well, just a lot of loud lunatics  

 

I might come in for some flak for what I’ve just posted in the Haslab VS thread. Haha  

Victory Leo’s leg proportions are off. Hopefully we get a leg extension kit if Haslab don’t address VLs long waisted body.

 

Welp, was browsing the Omegalock sale thing and accidently slipped and landed on an MP-52 and it magically went into my basket, got paid off my PayPal and everything. Totally not my fault.

 

I'd disconnect your phone Steve. In fact, log off and create a new account...

 

Haha.

 

Should I mention Star Saber's tiny wee Trumpy hands?

 

I did that yesterday and said he has Poland Syndrome. I even posted a couple of photos of Jeremy Beadle.   . A couple of people didn’t like that I said Haslab need to give him bigger hands.

I do accept compromises will be made and I think VL has come in for those. I really do like how VS looks.

I’m likely to display this in combined jet mode.

 

So something that has been bothering me for a while, reawoken by this Red Cog thing... they added extra accessories... and they're all guns? I already have way more guns than my collection shall ever need. Would it look them to try something different? A bow, a spear, a pke meter, a crate, a metal detector, a book, a giant tuning fork... something other than just another knobbly tube with a handle on it.

 

A few energon doodads wouldn't be amiss, either. And if they did it in fluorescent pimk, they could kill two birds with one stone and use it for the Turbomasters...

 

I don't mind Leo tbh - lack of waist swivel aside - but those hands just look a bit daft to me.

 

Well, there's a 2-part splitting bomb, an energon canister (admittedly another tube), and one of the guns is the repair/healing gun in there too, the only thing that niggles me is the version of Chromia's gun in grey has the "suppressor", and an alt tri-shotgun barrel - but not those nifty hand grenades she came with. Still hoping he's reasonably accessible over here, and not W'N'R collection-priced!

 

Quick comparison…



I think I prefer the suit mode of the SS86 - but that gap in the back of spikes head is criminal. Definitely prefer the alt mode and transformation of the MP but would still likely take the inevitable Daniel suit if/when it’s offered up.

Spikes head reminds me of action jacks (you’ll probably need to look that one up kids)

edit: save you the bother, here it is!



separated at birth!   

 

Does anyone know if that pic of Minerva in Protoman's vid is a leak or a mock up? I think it's a digibash, but I'm not 100% sure.

UPDATE - Yeah, it's just this pic altered isn't it:



I doubt Hasbro would do a duplicate pose in a promo pic... While they certainly lack the imagination, I doubt they have the skill to position two figures in the same pose.  

 

Oooh, my Cyclonus is one the way from C&C.

 

Amazon UK are a bit too fond of listing stuff as Amazon EU, having it come into stock but not shipping it, so you get to explain yourself a hundred times over to Team Dickhead in India with no result  

They used to be an amazing company. Now it's one of the worst in the world! Asked for a direct email address and was told they don't have one. That's billion dollar company Amazon in 2022. It was all I could do not to call the line manager an arsehole.

It's frightening when you'd rather give money to the Pulse cretins  

 

NOW yer talkin' my language! I had a couple of these and a couple of Matchbox MAC vehicles
