Then most of us super oldfarts lor » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « KrLRw4jBLqs He's the Autobot commander from the Japanese Transformers: Victory, which takes place after Masterforce. seeing this again after so many years just kick some illogical circuits. - why do robots needs a church? - star saber bringing a sword to a gun fight?(well it's a shooting sword at least) - japanese must really love the old west in the 80's-90's. seeing there are a lot of old west themed anime(saber rider anyone?). QUOTE(roytomas8998 @ Nov 20 2013, 08:21 AM) wah seh. RM30 ada lagi ka? Star Saber? never heard of him too. Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs ada la. Only watched TF: Masterforce, didnt watch TF: Victory. victory was aired right after masterforce and followed by the headmasters(with chromedome and fortress maximus) This post has been edited by zeroglyph: Nov 20 2013, 09:50 AM

QUOTE(roytomas8998 @ Nov 20 2013, 05:37 PM) gobots? hahaha. the theme song really tiong ah sing. man, I loved MASK, Voltron, Silverhawks, and those crazy Japanese Power Ranger! not forgetting Gabannnnnnnnn! kids nowadays, the cartoons all craps. who don't remember gaban should be spanked QUOTE(roytomas8998 @ Nov 20 2013, 05:48 PM) Dont forget Mospeada, Macross, Ultraman. I wonder what Tanleeseng watch those days? or he not yet born? i prefer the robotech variant, better theme song. QUOTE(sekngucing @ Nov 20 2013, 11:15 PM) yes, optimus was revived in yellow lion's body this was early 90s, i got out from school during recess (my house was in front of school, only about 5 meters) to watch the series. hahaha victory leo was his name. and it was the ginrai version of optimus.

woot!!! senior member now? Senior Member 1,255 posts Joined: Nov 2006	QUOTE(alanyuppie @ Nov 25 2013, 02:09 PM) The scaling was "rebooted" after MP10 (suspect its to cater for the subsequent MP cars , to fit into the trailer). Since MP Grimlock exist before him.... so he's off the current scale. wow seems MP grimlock won't fit with any of the MP OP. it's too small against MP01, and still shorter against MP10. well at least the other MPs looks good against MP10 (at the cost of being shorter than an alt/BT figure).

woot!!! senior member now? Senior Member 1,255 posts Joined: Nov 2006	got a sudden urge to fiddle with the things in my display cabinet last saturday. decided i should probably re-pose some of my TF. was not expecting to find THIS! : » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « WARNING, image may be disturbing » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « IT'S THE DREADED COSMIC RUST! that particular part(guess which part and which tf does it belongs to) has been rusting from the inside! i've noticed it before, but it was not this bad. now it has spread under the paint and has deformed the metal part. normal rust don't do that, do they?. definitely something from space. the TF was in alt mode, so it's not noticeable at a glance. good thing was, only that particular part was effected. probably just bad paint prep for that particular piece. was kinda sad, . my option was get the same TF again and sell this one up for parts. but this thing would cost a bomb nowadays. decided to browse around ebay on sunday morning. as luck would have it, found a seller who was selling a hasbro version of the TF for parts(newly listed). he didn't have the parts i needed. so, i contacted the guy to check. turns out he DOES! it was just not listed yet. he sold me the entire limb for USD20(obviously, the postal cost more). current status: Processed through USPS Sort Facility CHICAGO, IL 60666 January 9, 2014 1:29 pm lesson of the day: CHECK ON YOUR TF! especially the metal ones. you might not be so lucky if it happened to you.

Suddenly a spark of interest in something you thought long buried... then now so many options... so many things to get... hahah....yeah. triple changers are not that common in the TF world. the generation lines have 3 of them! suddenly they look appealing to me (probably because i decided to skip the new MG sazabi ) . i'm no fan of animated and prime, so don't really have interest in any of those lines. been on a hiatus from buying TF since rotf buster OP.

woot!!! senior member now? Senior Member 1,255 posts Joined: Nov 2006	QUOTE(kiien_kyan @ Jan 21 2014, 11:38 AM) the time i start collecting TF few years back,the retail price is already RM110 (or RM109.90).. r u mentioning some hypermarket throwing price??? 79.90? you bought the taktom version? just saw hasbro sandstorm at 90 retail. 150 for taktom blitzwing. so if i managed to average out at about 90 each, that wouldn't be too much of a hit. that 79.9 was just a guess. haven't been scouting in a while. QUOTE(toh2020 @ Jan 21 2014, 12:28 PM) anyone had collection of transformer headmasters purchased during 80's. I seen hardly anyone discuss about them. these are retro toys brought during 1987. they cost average about rm80 that time? I m still keeping these below. Transformers G1 Headmaster Horrorcons APEFACE Transformers G1 Headmaster Chromedome the thing with G1 is, as cool as it were/are, it's just bricks. i sold off my headmaster highbrow, powermaster OP & darkwing and sixshot to make room for their newer G1 oriented reiterations.

woot!!! senior member now? Senior Member 1,255 posts Joined: Nov 2006	QUOTE(waikin_31 @ Jan 21 2014, 08:44 PM) Okay. Understand your point now. Forget about MP Jazz. Porsche does not like to be associated with violence or war figures and Autobots always have guns and weapon. Why savour for Jazz now when there is Wheeljack, Bumblebee and mp-10 based Ultra Magnus coming? of course Cliffjumper, Tracks and Sunstreaker to follow probably. forget about bumblebee and cliffjumper. if memory serves, VW has the same stance as porsche. which is why there never was an alt/bt version of them. QUOTE(jhcj @ Jan 22 2014, 09:04 AM) i used baby oil to remove the old labels on my vintage tfs. works just as well baby oil leaves residues, but lighter fluid doesn't .

woot!!! senior member now? Senior Member 1,255 posts Joined: Nov 2006	QUOTE(kiien_kyan @ Jan 23 2014, 04:07 PM) but hasbro wont care what the alt mode is.. as long as can earn money what?.. example: the recent voyager doubledealer, which dont have jet mode in cartoon but they reuse the mold from blitzwing. saw doubledealer today while getting sandstorm. it looks pretty good though. not worth it if you already have blitzwing(minor changes, unlike sandstorm), but might be a better alternative if you don't have blitzwing. i'm kinda confused which to get now . definitely not both as i never buy the same mould. i don't have any decepticons in the ranks currently, so might opt for DD since his head looks much nicer. i like the colours better too. athough there is the problem that he is not one of the original triple changers. DD would definitely do better as a double barrel tank and maybe a swept wing jet instead. hasbro's being lazy.
