    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!

    I'm so disappointed after watching Ben's video review of titan Devy. It's just 100% kids toy, I might get one for my boys this xmas.

    Not a test.
    Ads might be worked on, but no time frame of when that would happen.

    I've not looked, mind you I grabbed them form Kapow.

    I think Barber's an excellent plotter but a poor executer who's too much in love with his own 'kewl' sneaky bastard anti-hero Prowl whilst unable to portray Optimus as an actually decent, effective leader.
    I thought after the mind control incident we'd get a Prowl who realised thinking like the Decepticons wasn't enough but it seems his takeaway from nobody realising he was actually evil was, 'F*** it, I must be even more sneakier bastardly.'

    Ditto. Not buying your kid one, that would be odd

    Rumour has it theres gonna be masterpiece a diaclone ultramagnus...... though that is probably a rumour. Possibly some new combiner wars reveals, hopefully a Hasbro MP11 that has a paintjob that looks awesome.

    Bruticus wave 5
    Masquerade 2.0 wave 6

    Legends
    Chop shop, pipes, rewind, gnaw, stripes, buzzsaw, brawn, shockwave, ravage, rumble and wheelie

    erm...they seem to have shrunk to a reasonable size today...to my relief.

    That title needs a break from Prowl, Starscream...and Livio.
    It's doing my head in.

    I would prefer he gets his own mold that's true to the comic.
    That design is amazing and needs a toy.

    Yeah, looks to be. Still on the fence on that Devastator. Will give Hasbro Dev a miss though.

    I think that pic has been shared already. We'll know more at Botcon.
