Because target demographic finds him "cute" like that I guess.. yeah that still bugs me like hell.

I Po'd him because I'm a fan of MakeToys. As for the Warbotron one, I'm waiting for my Bruticus set to finish and see how they handle it. They being a new company and how they bungled up the Air Burst (Not Blast-Off) release etc etc.. already an impending "add-on" accessories set.. and from what I heard from my usual toy seller, seem to be a very bad company to deal with currently. (No, they are NOT TFC ).

Aesthetic wise looking at their (Warbo) not-Computron, I already have the same comment as for my AirBurst. AirBurst has a great bot mode and alt mode, but for me the arm mode kind of sucks, especially with how casually they just leave the hands dangling there. You can see the same in Warbo Not-Computron's prototype shots.

the appeal is that Warbotron's not-computron is massive

Warbo


TFC


Bro, that is not TFC.. It belongs to MakeToys


No doubt the size is nice, but those arms... that said, it's on my KIV list hehe..

Yeah I wouldn't say boycott them.. at least give them a chance to finish Bruticus.. if finish already.. end up with a Uranos with Gangnam Style legs.. then only bye bye.. hehe

This. The X2o boss also complain same thing to me about Warbo.. force them to plunk down the money for the order in set. Yeah we have to pay depo, but it covers a small ammount compared to what the sellers have to plunk down in 1 shot. Haha that's why X2o say.. they definitely not TFC( from some ru mors) because TFC much easier to deal then with them.

Well i'm sure everybody now thinks Devastator is supposed to be a big dog with testicles

I'm actually tempted to the recently re-released AD-13 devastator.. put a leash around him.. and be a pet for my Giant lol.

Not entirely sure as I'm not really interested in the movie line but you can private message 1 Toy , Vhobby or Vhobby Malaysia on Facebook.

rm 160 i believe

Just better paint apps.. more movie accurate colors and some weathering..


Btw anybody know if the PPGear specialist is a worth it buy ? Will Takara ever make a MP IronHide and Ratchet? like is there any licensing issue that prevents them from doing so?

Trying to get some of the wreckers. Namely Perceptor. Anybody know where I can get it at a good price? Ebay seems OP'd (cheapest was rm 120 for loose but complete)

*shrugs* I'm sure one day i'll see it again or it'll be reissued heh

Lol.. agree. It has good action, good pacing.. compared to you know... and it's got.. "THE TOUCH"!

Anybody know what's up with 1Utama Vhobby? One thing it seems they have not updated their page in a month already.

Also, previously when Phlogeus arrived, I did get a SMS but When conabus arrived, no SMS till now.. I only knew they had it because I went to 1Toy and saw that it arrived (since they share the same boss)..

Hopefully. it's kind of difficult when the boss is not around. I think her name is May. The other staff, they usually don't know anything about future preorders or stuff in general, so somtimes calling them is kind of pointless.. and I can't just go and check once in a while if the item has arrived but I can't not keep tabs because they have a time limit of 3 weeks on holding a preordered item.

Bought some classics figures over the weekend, had to do this photo hehe




Also, I see some people talking about the Nissan MPs... here's some poison

I think the only case I read where Takara has an issue was with Rodimus' thigh joints. THe plastic there snapped easily and was supposedly fixed in the Hasbro release (or the Takara v2 release). Never heard of other issues for other MPs.. except I guess the poorer paint application on Takara soundwave.

Side by side compariosn

Honestly I'd say do some research. There are a few problems that plague the oriingal MP Starscream too.. Best to go to tfw2005 and read someo fthe review sfor MP-11. They do have some comparisons. When I first started and before I knew aobut the MP-11 reissue, I was actually contemplating both and was deciding between the two. I went for MP-11 simply because

1) I didn't like the hip kibble
2) I enjoy transforming my transformers every now and then. and i read that it was pretty dangerous to do with the original mold ? (breakage? don't remember been a while now)
3) THe original was suppsoed to be difficult to pose etc..

Just my 0.02

My seekers arrived. Unboxed and played with the 1st one I chose randomly hehe

Alt Mode:


Bot mode:



Honestly, when I read some reviews that said it will have some issues I was a bit worried, but after getting them, the worries are gone. In jet mode, all the panels tab properly makling for a pretty nice looking plane mode. In bot mode, the chest do have some trouble tabbingin one side.. but with a bit of pushing in, it actually holds on from the friction.

Overall, I gotta say I'm pretty pleased with them.. so far my Generations collection have been pretty one sided towards the autobots.. now I have 6 voyager sized seekers to add to the decepticon army
