Cool - and the real bonus is it's the same score for so many '80s cartoons!

You know what they say - more writers equals higher quality output. You know, like chefs and what-not.

Quick post. Iron Factory Lord Scorpion, apparently voyager size. Interested, wouldn't mind him being a bit smaller than Infinitor as it'd match the original toys. https://www.facebook.com/masterforceuk/posts/623161144500449 http://i.imgur.com/KzReyNO.jpg http://i.imgur.com/KzReyNO.jpg Yeah, came ac...

I love all the MP options. It lets me buy the ones I like. Yay options!

I'm with you on that. It just looks better as Sentinel (probably because there's a less well defined/ingrained image of what that is exactly). I think Classics Astrotrain looks more Astrotrain.

Got MP-29 Shockwave a few days ago. Nothing much to add to what already’s been said – he really is awesome. Everything I dreamed a Shockwave should be and more. The transformation isn’t too complicated, but it’s very well thought out, and satisfying. The cable is really cool. Really want to get me s...

Got my first Star Wars Black Series 6" figure - Jango Fett. I was dubious of the scale, but I just had to get him out the box and I am 100% won over. The detailing is superb, and articulation is amazing without affecting the appearance too much. If Jango has more limited poseability than some a...

For the third weekend in a row, I spent my brief 'me' time while my wife and toddler napped fixing inherent issues with MP-5 Megatron. This time, I tackled the loose waist connector and hips. I carefully prised the waist connector prongs out and let them set in position a bit with an electrical scre...

Quite different from Hasbro's. Takara seem to be going all out with Unite Warriors.

Having heard a lot about it, guess I need to track down something to seal/protect the chrome on Hot Rod Is this something I need to do with my MP Hot Rod? He came without any of the chrome wear others are reporting, but from what I'm catching wind of this may not last? If so - any tips as how to pr...

Aye, given how many accessories came with MP Ironhide, we can hope indeed!

It's the right size in gun mode, but it's usually been drawn smaller than that (and often with a different proportion of length to radius) in robot mode in the cartoon and comics. What he said. ;) (I realise the scope is the right scale to fit with the oversize gun mode proportions. It's the robot ...

That's a good idea... May look in to it if Takara don't get round to a new MP Megatron first. I know the original had an oversized cannon - I had the G1 figure, and still have the WST one. I know it's necessary for the gun mode. I just think it is a bit unwieldy in robot mode... I imagine it is impo...

I thought that when I saw the stock photos. I'll save the surprise / excitement for when my MP Shockwave arrives... Hopefully not long!

That's the least of his problems if you ask me. As a man who's just taken it upon himself to spruce up his MP-5 Megatron, I certainly agree... Not that it's actually rust anyway - just tarnishing. I managed to get a lot of shine back on Megatron's feet scrubbing with 100% isopropanol. Removing the ...

Have to say I'm a little surprised by this. I wasn't expecting Hasbro to actually release it. Really makes me wonder why even bother with Rook if they were just going to release Groove like this Yeah, but they did the same with Offroad and Wildrider (with the latter having a limited web release, if...
