    My poor attempt at recreating a classic comic image.

    This is true.

    Also true. Nothing hidden in a storeroom, just some RiD [2001] and Armada getting in the way in my office until I can find space to put it out.

    Yeah, that was one part of it. There was other stuff too, but not going to bore/derail the thread with my guff.

    After clicking on that youtube link to those Cybergoths dancing to TTTE, and subsequently becoming addicted to the damn clip, because I find it so damn funny, I dare not click on this one.

    Not bad! The original is likely too hard to pull off with most any action figure these days, let alone a robot that needs to have articulation AND still be able to become a future super cannon

    I think something was very wrong with their shipping calculator. Shipping for MP G2 Bumblebee was like 2500 or so yen MES, nothing like this.

    At that price for Tracks I might just buy it straight from the UK. I know people did contact NY for that, so I'm waiting to see if they will reply. NY is great for japanese toys/imports as they never get caught by customs due to the price on the parcels.

    Couldnt bring myself to buy the Grimlock legion, all that non moving moulded plastic, but maybe i should...

    Sideswipe is excellent though i thought, he is the most screen accurate of them all, nice movement in his body in his limited articulation and he goes well with Prime cyberverse. Only thing i found with him is he seems a different plastic, shinier and perhaps more breakable. :/

    Yeah, I've had nothing but good experiences in buying from them.


    If you do find out if there is an error with their calculator please post an update. They're still my preferred vendor for buying MPs.

    Wasn't the Prime version of that in a PlayStation game?, I remember having 3 characters to choose from and having a boss battle against Tidal Wave, who was huge and using Prime with a jetpack against Unicron above Cybertron.

    Looks good, you'll have to bring one along so I can have a gander, I do have 5 matrix' though :lol

    those are my prototypes using woodfiller.......I know its a bit crude but its industrial stuff more akin to body filler, hence why they look a bit rough. Ordered resin should be here this week then the real casting begins.
    how many do you want and what colours :lol 

    Edit, thanks Vanessa..... and sorry about the Thomas the tank ravers.

    There was a PS2 game just called Transformers, based on Armada, kind of a third-person shooter. You could play as I think Optimus, Hot Shot and Red Alert and could collect Minicons to give different abilities. I feel it was the first game that really got the idea of a Transformers game right.

    I wonder if automotive body filler would do the job? You can get the real fine stuff
