OFFICIAL TRANSFORMERS TOYS NEWS
Ok, I'm up for Blaster, Galvatron, Hardhead and Skullcruncher. I'm also interested in Sentinel Prime but as Astrotrain because that repaint is obvious.
But I have one question for Hasbro: Where is Broadside? I mean, seriously, you've done the other five triple-changers, one has been done twice even, but still no Broadside, why?
Admittedly, I don't really care about the character, but it would be nice to finish off the core group though. That's my rant done.

The voyagers and leaders have a helmet that goes over the headmaster. The helmets are springloaded, thus you can have him go for both helmeted and unhelmeted look.Red Dave Prime wrote:I really like the look of Galvatron, reckon I may spring for him. Cant quite see how the head master bit works with him though - the megs figure looks too boxy for the main toys head surely?
Few stuff in the UK to trade/sell. Measly sales thread.

I actually think the toy looks better in white, but yeah, those side views are horrid.

That pose has just made me realise MP Ironhide is even worse than I first thought...
No danger of me buying either for a whole host of reasons though.
New sale thread added with a range of Transformers including Masterpiece, Botcon, CHUG, RID, Movies etc.
Looking for MP-11T Thundercracker and MP-9 Rodimus v2 (Takara version with as few QC issues as possible).

When they do the inevitable red headed version we could just pretend it's after they separated him from Megatron?

Urgh. Realised that, hugely obvious flaws in the figure notwithstanding, if TT release a Marvel Ratchet with red helmet, white crest and plain white shoulders, I'll buy it. Bonus points if it retains the tools from this release. Extra bonus points if a figure of The Mechanic is included.
Question: Would just-had-a-heart-attack-Sparkplug come with Marvel Ratchet or with MP Jazz?

At least they don't have hollow torsos. And look good. And are great. (Tracks and Hot Rod 2.0 excepted.) Unlike Ironhide and Ratchet.Brendocon 2.0 wrote:...way to make the cars look even ****ing smaller than we already think they do, guys.
I don't really care how big they are so long as they're good (and display well alongside the other MP 2.0 figures).

He is a bit lanky, given that from what I can remember from the cartoon (aka the T-T bible) they're only ever a shade taller than the rest, if that. Wonder if they're going for making the alt mode actual proper van-sized rather than the minivan of the original toys, which considering they made Bumblebee for robot mode scale (at best) is mental.
Yeah, it is a bit weird/sad that they try to make everything as close to the cartoon as possible no matter how little it makes sense. The 80's show is fine and all, but part of the lasting appeal of the visual aspect of the characters (and the desire to own merchandise thereof) for me is the designs themselves, not the cartoon made to promote them. Takara seem frequently oblivious to that.
