    True that, at least with Who they seem to hire people based upon acting ability unlike Saban and Power Rangers where they are hired for their looks.

    I do miss the Doctor having male companions though, Rory was a good match for that after years of Rose drivel. And Amy was a very good companion as well as being hot.

    Been watching through my Beast Wars DVD set that arrived a couple of days ago, watching one episode a week seems painful when the really good ones are a couple of weeks away. I particularly enjoyed 'The Spark' and Gorilla Warfare' and am really looking forward to watching 'Dark Voyage' again. I think that may even be my favourite episode.

    MP Sideswipe looks great, as does Alert and the Datsuns, but with prices being how they are, I think I'll wait for a preorder on a blue version of Bluestreak (if Ehobby don't do it they are ultimate trolls!) I just don't fancy spending money on characters and toys I don't have much connections with. Prowl comes close because of the comics, but then I can always just use the Universe mold for that :) 

    MP Optimus is beautiful though, the only thing that would make him better would be a darker shade of blue.

    BM Tankor is great.Love the fella, show accuracy be damned.

    No thanks to £19 FOC. Sorry Orbital.

    Been tempted by Prime stuff too, but my gut tells me I'll regret it later.

    I'm sorry it's Gillan all the way. Leila Ward looks too much like a schoolkid and brings troublesome Paedo vibes, and whoever her in the black and white is looks like the hooker Rooney got busted with (92's in Aigburth Liverpool fact fans ! My mate lived round the corner in his uni days).

    Are we due to get the Autobot data discs in blighty at some point, or barring that where have people obtained theirs from. TRU.com ?

    Her face looks a bit scrunched up for me really, she looked hot in the first episode she was in but moon faces don't really do anything for me.

    Don't you mean any pics of the ninja and samurai teams?

    I woory about paedos too. Whenever I take my paedometer with me it registers paedos absolutely everywhere I go. Very scary.

    BM Tankor looks nothing like his show incarnation, but is a fantastic toy. IIRC I sold mine years ago and regret it to this day. BM Mega Cheetor on the other hand...

    I was enthusiastic for the Warbugs at first but when FPcore was mentioned I immediately :throw 


    Oh well, will have to source them elsewhere. The new feral rex proto pics are immense I cannot wait for that beast to be on display.

    His hips are as loose as Ricky Martin's but it's an awesome toy.


    Maz would win by finding a Joustra Diaclone rare farting Grimlock variant on Ebay Chechnya in a lot of Sticklebricks that would cost him one pubic hair. Or something ;) 


    I would hit that like I was Chris Brown and she was Rihanna - Repeatedly, hard and without remorse.


    Yeah but do you have Fire Guts God Ginrai? What about Nucleon Quest Super Ginrai? Barking Spider Ginrai? lol


    I LOLed.

    What the hell's a barking spider Ginrai? When it comes to Japan I'm never sure whether I should take it seriously or not.


    Would bang.


    Would bang.


    MP10!


    I saw Dreadwing the other day and he does look pretty good. Ultra Magnus too, though it's said he's a bit on the light side.

    Personally I think Tankor's a bit shit. But then, I'm more than a little disappointed we never got a show accurate one (the basic tank drone is the right mold I believe). An ultra of the tank drone in Tankor's colours would have been jizztastic.


    Would bang.


    Dear god would bang. Would bang sooooo damn hard.


    Buy a second MP10 to fight the first one! And a third to watch!


    Yeah I liked Rory, he was useless but pretty great.

    You totally missed the boat on Prowl and Bluestreak. So happy to have them preordered at £30 each. Even with shipping and even if it does get custom'd, they still work out to £50 or less a piece.

    I think some more Beast Wars tonight too!


    :lol  I might have to sig that!

    Cheers for the Tankor advice, chaps, I may bite if I'm feeling flush.

    simond - thanks for the offer but I'm just not taken with either of them. And I need some more Decepticon jets.

    Also: 'barking spider' is gutter filth speak for one's sphincter, see also: khaki button hole, rusty sheriff's badge, towel holder, brown eye, freckle.
