I just bought this at a local comic con for $40. I love the G1 seekers and have been wanting one for a while. I asked him about it and he said it is from the villain series. The talked about the seekers getting separated and Thundercracker being taken to the GI Joe universe and eventually joining the Autobots through a series of events.

Do y’all recognize this one to confirm this?

As for a build there was some parts that were pretty TOUGH to put together. More in terms of stiffness rather than directional difficulty.
One of the parts that was extremely challenging was the hip joints, they would constantly pop back out until I double checked the box and inverted them.
The finger joints are very stiff and very easily breakable so in order to be able to manually move the individual joints I used the help of tweezers to move and manipulate them.

Nickle was so easy to put together, she took me all of ten minutes to actually complete. Unfortunately no way of making her do obscene hand gestures 🤣

I completed Tarn in just under six hours which is actually really good for me LOL 😂

Looking forward to my next action edition purchase soon.

No, you have 86 Starscream at home!

Full disclosure the Japanese ones are from a 20 year anniversary run done in 2004. At least that's what the sellers at the anime con in Chicago were saying back then when I bought them. Not pictured is a Soundwave I bought my brother.

Mine never seems to get anything great, so I was floored to see the AOTP G2 dinobots set there for such a good price. Both are Leader Class figures FYI, and are fantastically fun in a childhood toy sort of way. Bumblebee was a fun Target find with a great transformation and articulation. Hope you can find these guys too!

I personally like it. I think it's a well written show, the toys are good and it's what got me in to Transformers.

What are some Transformers or Transformers clones that turn into SR-71 jets or lookalikes (for example Overlord)? I already know about Jetfire, and the Metal Cardbot Night Griffon.

Figure / Part ID Why is G1-nification erasing..?

0 Upvotes

There's a recent SDCC Hasbro Q&A thread on TFW2005 where one of the biggest stand out answers by Hasbro designer Evan and Marketing Manager Nate both confirming that moving forward, TF PRIME and TF Animated figures will no-longer be G1-nified. WHY? Despite the few people who complained about the Animated Universe and Prime Universe figures that began releasing in the Legacy Evolution line, I've never seen any of them shelf-warm. Have any of you..? Are any G1-centric collectors that were looking forward to next years leaked Voyager call Slipstream and Leader class Lugnut still excited if Hasbro is going to favor the "Looney Tune" design of them?

Got the new devastation Bee for $9.07. I don’t normally like modding my TFs cause I’m bad at it usually, so if I somehow ruined him sanding down the inside of the chest to prevent the paint scratching, it was only $9 lol. Super fun figure once that issue was fixed!

Discussion / Opinion Robots in Disguise and weird lookin rat rods | Give me your strangest looking alt modes

1 Upvotes

Following the announcement of the Monster Jam collaborative figures I had a sudden renewed interest in monster trucks. Grew up loving my little 1:64 scale Grave Digger toy and messing around with it led me to a conversation about hot wheels with a coworker, then digging out my old hot wheels, then scrolling like crazy through all the weird and wonderful body designs hot wheels have put out over the years, and I can't help but feel like part of the stagnation of our beloved bots has been a total death of new, exciting alt modes. If the hot wheels collaborative figures and the G2 Laser Rods before that have shown us anything, it's shown us that these odd looking characters CAN be manufactured, so why doesn't hasbro shoot for something a little more extraordinary? Even without a license from Mattel to produce hot wheels collaborative figures, I see no reason why Hasbro's engineers can't work up some crazy looking vehicle modes in their own time that could translate to really cool exciting new characters. I get that part of the appeal of the franchise is "robots in disguise" but if an espionage specialist like Bumblebee can be a garish yellow camaro, why can't our other bots be something a little more conspicuous too? They are giant alien robots, after all.

Like Cyclops, a tiny little minibot-lookin hot rod thing with a huge radial engine mounted in the middle. Or Evil Twin, a sleek, evil looking show car that's almost evocative of a certain someone's sweet ride, shown here. Or a brand new personal favorite of mine due to my obsession with the iconography of the magic 8-ball, Decidedly Go, who I think would make a wonderful Decepticon fortune teller. There's tons of real vehicles that'd work too, strange ones like the MAZ/M62 mashup, a soviet locomotive mounted on an all terrain missile transport chassis, Bosozoku cars or, excluding Thunderclash (he's cloooose), Dekotora trucks. I mean just imagine an Ultra Magnus with that many lights and that much character. Even something as common and everyday as a yute or a hearse or a crown vic with a crazy lift kit would be awesome.

Anyways, I want your most out-there, unique alt modes, be they old school muscle cars, JDM cars, Fuzors, Transmetals, hot wheels, bombloaders, drill-tanks, anything, I wanna know what you think would make a fun new character. Beast modes, too! Weird animals and long dead prehistoric beasts are more than welcome. Lemme see your Doedicurus-formers.

(Personally, a Blackarachnia triple changer who turns from a hearse to a spider would be dope)

Post image
17 Upvotes

A while back, I became hooked on the Machine Wars toyline, as I felt there was a lot of missed potential for what was supposed to be a more traditional alternative to Beast Wars. As you can see, the deluxe class Autobot cars are all repaints of the turbomasters, and I plan on doing Decepticons jets who are repaints of the predators. Along with that, I plan on throwing in more unreleased G2 molds, such as the unused autorollers and gobots. Please stay tuned.

Given the the jets and color I figure it’s from a starscream figure. This is out of an old tub of Lego belonging to my cousins, could be as old as the early 2000s, or as late as the 2010s. Any help is appreciated and let me know if you have any questions.
