No, IIRC they were the ones that created Sky Lynx for Hasbro (probably as work for hire).

Omega Supreme too from what I understand

From what i understand, the knock-off is pretty faithful to the original. For example, the original did have a rounded beak (the diaclone version didn't, though), and it also has the red parts, red missiles and red sword. http://www.tfu.info/1985/Autobot/Swoop/swoop.htm That said, if what you bought...

Originally posted by Megatimus Apart from Beast Wars, the film is the closest incarnation to G1. Technically, Beast Wars is a continuation of G1. But, really, what does this movie have to do with G1 at all? How does the movie connect with G1? What similarities are there? Other than in the way that ...

Originally posted by Megatimus He is Soundwave I;m telling you. Bay wasted this design and personality on a former Micromaster. I honestly don't get what stuff like this means. It's like when people complain about Starscream not being Starscream. Don't people get that this isn't a continuation of G...

Deathsaurus is a BotCon RiD Galvatron repaint.

Deszaras is the lead villain in Victory.

Which exactly do you want again?

yeah, stupid gaijin calling the guy by a name that makes sense rather than being complete nonsense

no respect for the greatness of nippon

Originally posted by Denyer You're querying the semantics of being able to buy a hundred dollar Robocop or Hellboy gun (both movies kids love, with tie-in toylines, comics and cartoons) with being able to buy a hundred dollar Transformers gun? Moreover, a nice fat Hellboy pistol isn't out of the mo...

Originally posted by Denyer As noted, you can buy unmarked replica and prop guns within the US. Yes, and you can also buy actual guns. However, unlike children's toys , real guns, replica guns and prop guns aren't, well, children's toys. Granted MP Megatron isn't particularly marketed towards littl...

It's not an oppressive or obtrusive law - it just provokes ire among toy collectors.

To be honest, I think that fact alone more than justifies the existence of toy gun laws.

So what? IMDB isn't always accurate, especially with stuff that isn't even out yet.

The generation 2 dinobots were released in grey prior to their recoloring.

As far as I know, the only differences between the G2 dinobots and the G1 ones (other than the faction symbols/lack of rubsign) is that the G2 ones don't come with the missile launchers

Originally posted by snavej Who wants to donate money to send Simon Furman on an advanced physics degree course?! He could do it part time so that he could continue to write Transformer stories and other fiction. I will look after the funds, none of which will be spent on the 'Snavej New Jacuzzi Ap...

I don't see how it's possible for the Classics line to continue at this point, just from a logistics standpoint, especially with that movie coming out in just a few months. Of course there's always the chance it could come back after the movie line, but I wouldn't count on it, especially since there...

And in the comic that Quintesson fellah got all sorts of useful powers except for what he needed most, oposable thumbs.

Don't forget protection from ventriloquism. That would've come in pretty handy.

Yay. If this thing sells more than seven copies, expect a line of ever more insipid TF/Marvel crossovers.

Transformers/Death's Head?

Yes, obviously there was only an MP Optimus release with a trailer because of an online fan petition. Man, it's a neat coincidence that they originally built him with a place for the trailer to attach, isn't it, if they didn't intend for a trailer from the start.

I'm almost certain that the "Trailbreaker" you're referring to is actually the Go-Bot Scratch.

The only petition I'd sign is for MP Megatron.

I think in that case you'd need to petition Congress. And since you're Canadian, I don't think that would do any good.

Originally posted by Denyer It's a generic concept (as is, say, all apocalypse science fiction) differentiated by dialogue, cast and assembly. Can't see Furman bothering to steal from fanfic. According to the solicitations it's not written by Furman But i would agree that the idea that IDW is robbi...
