My Masterpiece Megs. came in today!

He's got a screw loose in the crotch...but at least theres no trigger.

It took me at least 30 min. to transform him the first time!

Although he doesn't have a firing projectile you could pistol whip somebody with him and do some serious damage!

I've just got back from a trip to the states and I've got a haul! Here's what I grabbed:

Movie Premium Ironhide. I missed this guy in the UK so I grabbed this version.

Animated Jazz, unopened as of yet.
Animated Soundwave, who is surprisingly bad.

Universe Onslaught who is extremely awesome.
Universe Powerglide who is quite cool.
Universe Sunstreaker who is very nice.
Universe Tankor - more than a little odd and his truck mode is an after thought.
Universe Galvatron - should have been a voyager or bigger.

Quite a nice haul but this means I'm broke for some time, dammit!

Animated Voyager Prime came today. Quite a nice figure. Axe is a bit iffy but might use the axe from the deluxe battle damaged earth mode Prime that I have from the 2 pack set.

Nice detail on Prime's windshield's.

Just picked up Universe Onslaught. I'm really pleased with him aside from the fact he has two right hands. I'll have to remedy that.

Found (LoC) Optimus Prime, Leo Prime, and Hot Shot today at Big Lots!

Also found these KO Protectobots and Aerialbots, Once I get all the crappy decals off and repaint them, I'll have a somewhat decent KO Defensor and Superion!

Saw Universe Dropshot at Wal-mart probably going to pick him up on my way home from work tonight.

So I went to get Dropshot and as I'm walking away from the aisle I see a display of Animated Voyagers and deluxes set apart from the other figures, and the first one that catches my eye is Blitzwing!

Dropshot will just have to wait for next paycheck.

I picked up Animated Grimlock from my local TRU yesterday and he's pretty damn cool. I'd recommend him, though he's not without faults - his arms are pretty limited and I don't like that his Dino head is on a trigger. Sure it means you can make him talk in a humorous way but it also means you can't pose him with someone else's head in his mouth!

Picked up RID Side Burn at a flea market today. He's currently sitting mostly transformed in my room, until I figure out the correct way to transform him. :P

Just got the Decepticon Combaticon leader and tactician, Onslaught. He may not be able to combine with his fellow Combaticons to form Bruticus, but he's excellent all on his own!:D Anyone else encounter the turret barrels bent? Not that it bothers me, just curious. And the siren sound would have benefited from the same trick as the gun sounds.

My very first sightings of the following three figures at Wal-Mart prompted immediate purchase:

Animated Blitzwing
Movie Big Daddy (what the hell took you so long?!)
Movie Decepticon Fracture (how'd you get here so fast?!)

I had to do a bit of carving with an exacto to get Fracture to transform. Now that it's fixed, I love it!

I picked up ani. voyager Grimlock(finally!) and ani. deluxe BB at the Wal mart. They had universe Dropshot and Blades, and the evolution of BB pack. They also had some unfamiliar movie figures, and one was a repainted classics Mirage. They had movie ultimate BB's in, too, which I havent seen in almost a year on shelves. Too bad I had to spend most of my cash on someone elses birthday present.

Those a the new Wal-Mart exclusives for the Movie Universe line. (face it. These were meant to go in Universe as they don't fit with the movie aesthetic) They are Fracture (Classics Mirage repaint, homage to the Gobot Crasher), Crankcase (Cyb. Red Alert repaint), and Breakaway. (Cyb. Hotshot repaint, homage to G1 Getaway)

Went to toys r us yesterday to get the little un something to chew on (she's starting teething) and took advantage of their 3 for 2 offer on the Animated Deluxe's.

Was going to get Grimlock and Lugnut as well but they didn't have any of either figure in stock

Also preorderd Henkei Ironhide from BBTS.

Got Universe Powerglide yesterday.

Picked up Crasher at Super Wal-Mart today. It's my first version of the Mirage mold, and it's a GREAT mold.

EDIT: Damnit, I can't get her back into vehicle mode! Stupid overly large tab...

The tab was too large on mine, too. Couldn't get it in place properly in either mode once I tried to transform it. I ended up shaving it off almost completely with an exacto knife.

It doesn't lock into place, but it all stays put because it doesn't flop around, so it's fine.
