    I think the blue one is Quickmix's Minicon Stripmine and the other looks like Drill Bit, who partnered Metroplex.

    Ahhh I think your right. Ok next question who wants all three for price of postage? First to call shotgun wins!
    (no pm's!)

    I just found them in a box of random stuff. They are too nice to sit in a pile of parts or be chopped up for a planet junk display

    I painted my leftover Cybertron Laserbeak so he would go with FOC Soundwave:

    Does anyone have the iron factory figures? They cool quite cool, just wondered what they are like in hand?

    Oh and my never used boxed animated Stunticons are now down to £218 shipped!

    I have the Slammer and Sixgun figures they did and can't recommend them enough. They are such fun little bots to play with, and the quality is fantastic.

    The amount of combinations you get out of the pair of them, to go onto Metroplexs other modes is quite crazy.

    So now there's another 3P Ironhide, too. Folk seem to be talking about TT's as being hinted at, but I thought it was confirmed, no?

    Iron Factory Slammer/Manacle is brilliant. Turrets is good. Blaster is ok.

    How daft is it that I've just managed to buy the Club Nova Prime for about £15 LESS on eBay than I would have to pay to buy the thing through the club because of their insane postage? Anyway, it's still a lot to pay for a deluxe but I'm pleased to get one and not feel reamed-out by something Hasbro actually licenses.

    Speaking of reaming. The actual Club Lioconvoy still hasn't arrived - posted on the 9th. Anyone over here had theirs yet or is it too early to worry?

    No word from Kapow on CW Magnus, but Hotspot en route from Masterforce, Red Soar from Kapow, and then i popped into Jenners on the way home and found a cheeky Generations Sandstorm staring at me.

    Snapped him up. Looks terrific!

    Nope! Resisting. Gonna see if I can get one in Canada.
    But he is dam tempting.

    I was hoping to grab a reissue Trypticon form Kapow but missed out on him
    Now my hopes of having him, Omega Supreme and Star Convoy race down my hall have been dashed :(

    Iron Factory stuff; I love it. I have Turret, Manacles and Iron Maiden, with Blaster on my look out list.

    I really like these little bots. I have a few of the War In Pocket guys too; their Ratchet, Galvatron, Scourge and Cyclonus are all here, and I am waiting for Ironhide and Blurr to make their way from Tony Chi.

    Speaking of legends sized bots. My entire collection is currently strewn across the living room floor. I have the kids for a few days, and my 4 year old son wanted to play with Metroplex as Autobot City. While it may not be a patch on tikgnat's amazing structure, the multiple add ones for mine makes it a bit more impressive than stock.

    My lad set about transforming the various legends, commanders, minicons and so on with a really impressive determination, first lining them all up, and then populating Metroplex with them. Before bed time, he begged me not to tidy up, as he tells me that he is embarking on a Decepticon army for a floor war tomorrow!

    I got Overclocking yesterday. What an awesome robot. A really innovative and involved transformation, excellent QC and materials, and two fantastic modes in hand. The transformation really is one of those that come together at the very end, resulting in a rock solid alt. The colours are just lovely, with a Tony amount of very judiciously and perfectly applied paint.

    I know that the aesthetic isn't for everyone, but I really do put him very high in my list of bots for the year so far.

    Robot Kingdom or Chimungmung are great and get them first, and Kapow have started to get WIP too so all excellent choices for what's turning into my favourite Line.
