    I really want Carry now. Gah.

    I'm hoping that SXS do Shitpiece next.

    I've been in the 3rd party section, everyone seems to be comparing Willy's.

    I don’t get it why don't third party companies make Masterpiece Crankcase. They're losing loads of money by not jumping on to that sure fire money maker goldmine, would be a huge hit in the fandom tbh.

    So apparently according to some Chinese forum which no one has linked to yet Warbotron and Generation Toy are one and the same.

    Nah, I think Warbo are someone else, maybe a reformed IGear or something, if this Generation Toy are Warbo though, and I wouldn't be surprised, that Devy does look very Warbotron to me, then why such a quick rebranding?

    I'm also eyeing up MT Guardia, anyone know how tall the individual bots are?

    Dear god, I LOVE the look of Carry. I think the bot mode is glorious, and I personally really like the alt mode too. Have got him on pre-order and can't wait. The only question now is what to do with my Takara MP. A shoulder issue means I can't fully complete the transformation to car but the bot mode is so, so good. Can I justify two in the collection though? Not sure about that.

    Nooze!!

    Guardia Bots are supposed to be deluxe-ish sized so a head bigger than their Technobots but Guardia is going to be Quantron sized anyway. I'm in for it if only for Rover and whatever First-Aid is called. Carbots innit.

    Finally got MTMTE and RID7's today and had a chance to skim both just now. RID I get why hardly anyone likes it much now. Prowl is a character that could have so much depth but just portraying him as an ever more isolated jerk is becoming annoying. And Galvatron was basically Conan back in Cybertron's Cimerian Age. Well thanks a lot for that.

    MTMTE. Still carrying my interest. I would fucking love some bored and nothing else to do 3P Outfit like.....oh I don't know MMC or MAketoys for instance to make a proper IDW Roller. I don't care what the Comics are about to make/have made him that Roller design rocks and I need one.

    The shitstorm of warbo bruticus qc issues most likely caused the name change..... maybe they've changed factorys?

    So, I'm back from a week in Greece! It's been lovely, but very, very hot! Saw loads of KO Transformers, some of which were hilarious, but I was tempted by a KO crumplezone for 10 euro! As it was, I just bought a blind bag Thrilling 30 figure, got a wee Prime megatron. I've kept up on front page news, but what's been happening in here then, fellas?

    Oooh, and a shiny new look to the site! Shiny, Shiny!
