TRANFORMERS INTRODUCTION
The Transformers are alien robots of a popular Hasbro toy line and its spin-offs.

Transformers: G1, includes both the animated television series The Transformers and the Marvel Comics comic-book series of the same name, which is further divided into Japanese and British spin-offs, respectively. Sequels followed, such as the Generation 2 comic book and Beast Wars TV series which became its own mini-universe. Generation 1 characters underwent two reboots with Dreamwave in 2002 and IDW Publishing in 2006. There have been other incarnations of the story based on different toy lines during the 2000s. The firsthttp://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=Post&CODE=00&f=118 was the Robots in Disguise series, followed by three shows that consist of the "Unicron Trilogy" (consisting of Armada, Energon, and Cybertron). A live-action film (Transformers The Movie) was released in 2007 and a sequel (Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen) was released in 2009. The third instalment (Transformers: Dark of The Moon) was released in June 2011.

C-scale rating

What is the "C" Scale?

The "C" Scale is a grading system used to grade new and used figures on a descending scale of C9.5 to C1.

Below is the "C" scale.

* C10 - Figure is in perfect condition, without any flaws or defects. The extremely high price is to be expected. 'Nuff said.
* C9.9 - Figure is in almost perfect condition, without any visible flaws or defects. The price will include a very high premium due to its rarity.
* C9.5 - Figure is in mint condition, without any visible flaws or defects. Expect a high price because it's very rare to find a figure like this.
* C9.0 - Figure is in near mint condition with very few minor flaws (barely noticeable unless you search hard).
* C8.5 - Figure has some very minor areas of wear and may have small flaws.
* C8.0 - Figure has minor paint/sticker wear, may have minor stains, discoloration, and stress marks but no damage.
* C7.5 - Figure has some play, paint/sticker wear and may have some stains, discoloration and stress marks.
* C7.0 - Figure has play wear, moderate paint/sticker wear and may have moderate stains, discoloration, and stress marks. Figure is still collection worthy up to this point depending on the collector.
* C6.5 - Figure has more play and paint/sticker wear, and may have stains, discoloration, and stress marks. Figure may have a broken part.
* C6.0 - Figure has heavy play wear, paint/sticker wear and may have heavy stains, discoloration, and stress marks. Figure may have one or more broken/repaired parts.
* C5.5 - Figure has heavy wear damage, repairs and stains/discoloration.
* C5.0 - Figure has many flaws, wear, tears, stains/discoloration and may be broken.
* C4.5 - Figure has major flaws, and play wear (tears, stains/discoloration) and may be broken.
* C4.0 - Figure shows severe play wear, damage and may be used for parts.
* C3.5 - Figure has many usable parts and major damage.
* C3.0 - Figure that has some usable parts and major damage.
* C2.5 - Figure that has few usable parts and major damage.
* C2.0 - Figure has very few useable parts and severe damage.
* C1.5 - Figure is in very poor condition.
* C1.0 - Figure cannot be salvaged for parts. We throw these out.

Other Terms

* LOOSE - Figure is without packaging
* MOC - Mint On Card
* MOSC - Mint On Sealed Card
* MIB - Mint In Box
* MISB - Mint In Sealed Box
* MISP - Mint in Sealed Pack (generally referring to exclusives like Botcon stuff)

oh.. we didnt give a new thread link at the old one..

btw, congratz we at last got a new one~



This post has been edited by kiien_kyan: Apr 21 2014, 09:46 AM

welcome new thread

that so called Utopia look awesome... how big is the scale...

that's the question... no idea

they show 1 red plastic figure, but have no idea how big it is also... at least show MP series/ deluxe/ legend class la....

if that thing as big as metroplex.... it will cost the bomb...

it is estimate RM1xxx.xx

Yeeeehaaaww! New Thread!

poison tak kena

when comes to price, poison really fade away lo... but the details , and hopefully the articulation will be too

I get the feeling they wont be crazy enough to make another metroplex so large.. maybe a smaller one for diehard fans with minimal shelf space

congrats v71 long time no post. spam my acid storm.

teaser

Yay they are making a grimmy!... need to find new place to put my MP8 hehe/

later cost another RM430 :S

However i heard FT's toys are quality guaranteed

judging from FT-03 QuakeWave quality, yes FT are good quality

I wish they gave us only mystery the last two digits haha,

Retail Or On Sales?


Congrat On New Thread

Hope Org Kebanyakan akan Spam TF mampu milik

This post has been edited by RegistraCHAN: Apr 21 2014, 01:38 PM

Sell to me cheap2 then

Retail also kenot get, apatah lg on sales punya. bro chan ada jalan?

shud be more than that if the size is same as hasbro one.. cos u see, the omega supreme from 3rd party already RM1k+..


sell to.. eh..


aiks... terlambat

I think they might go for G1 Metroplex size..

yeah look kinda they are doing a not-grimlock there from the silhouette..but why the are doing it? mp-08 is around being reissued and wukong are KOing it..MP style grimlock will be of abundance. and additionally, ft-04 scoria will come with the boot attachable to MP-08 as well to make it stand taller. unless FT decided to do a combiner for the Dino, now, that is another story all together

Yeah, which is why I guess they are leaving it till the end.. when all their toys are out, they'll gauge and see if people really want FT's take on grimlock or they are happy with Grimlock on risers.

i had the ori g1 magnus toys back then. 1 of the major fault i don't like about that figure is that the arm of the bot mode is placed too far back from his chest. of course i can understand that this is due to the design from his alt mode.

but this time round i was really hoping they'll some how "fix" this design. maybe have some mechanism to slide the arm to the front in bot mode...

a little disappointed in this part...

The cab looks identical to MP10......

They tread carefully in order not to offend the G1-ners. Both G1 Prime cab and UM cab are exactly the same design.

i doubt the head will same like KFC..

wit this revelation... KFC will be force to at least mark down their price ..

they shud just reduce the size and join CHRUG line instead of playing the same line with MP..

then they can make the price sky high enough as a leader class maybe~

bestest price in PM bro chan.

those who missed MP-08 reissue, that's too bad for you.

however, hasbro gonna reissue their too with new packaging, comes with blaster, firesword and crown

hasbro reissue SOS

Riding on the hype of the 3rd party dinobot releases, are they?
I wonder how much it'll be.. or maybe wait for it to shelfwarm again like the original mp grimlock

I got a feeling hasbro's gonna pull off another stunt like this again (reissue MP Grimlock) after TF4 is launched.. when movie goers and kids today gets to know more about the Grimlock and gang.

Anybody know where I can get Optimus Primal at a reasonable price his original mode haha and not the United Version

did u try famitoy? they sell quite numbers of beast wars stuff

yeah I think i saw they got those Red Fire versionor clear version.. not sure if they got ori colors..

and those already rm 300++ i think.


Anyway, I think I will hope for a generations voyager remake of Optimus Primal hehe

Hmm looking at the torso of Ultra Magnus.. it seems the cab is going to be a very hollow collapsible part.. you can see the cab's wheels in the torso.. also in the 3rd pic (or 1st hidden) you can definitely see part of a window.. not sure side or front.. but you can also just barely make out some "rivets"...

So i'm guessing it's the front.. and it folds and folds heh.

yeah... at first i tot the cab will still be able to transform into the white prime. but now it seems like it's just a hollow cab which collapse and fold. but it still take up lots of space considering the bulk of the body

Yeah I htought so at first, but I think someone mentioned before how difficult it would be and costs would go up. I guess in a way good lor.. the price now is expected to be 190 USD and we VhobbyMalaysia also revised their price to rm 480ish


Hhaha now can buy Citizen Stack and this for those who were ready to pay the rm 800++ for MP-22 hehehe

This post has been edited by tnsai: Apr 25 2014, 04:32 PM

What if instead of armoring up a white Prime, Mp-22 makes it so you can armor break to reveal the white bot? That way it the early description that it comes with an inner whitebot and being able to transform without parts-forming will make sense.

My haul today.. finally took the plunge.. on Uranos + add-on






Honestly, if this was the first third party item I bought (instead of MMC fortis Or say Green Giant), it will make me be wary of 3rd party stuff.

I spent a bit of time with it today, transformin each one and I gotta say never had so little "fun" transforming them. I mean Diesel is scary to transform sometimes, but it was fun.. this not so much..wings popping out which is good since some of the rotating of the wings seem quite dangerous.. Ugly ugly ugly Silverbolt.

That pose of Superion I took a photo of.. that's the only pose I was able to get it in that can maintain his footing and not look weird. That's not to say I don't like it.. the ALT modes are nice (except for Silverbolt's underbelly) but good thing I bought the Wings of Uranos add-on, because that little robot thing they had as the original chestplate, that thing was a floppy mess that I was glad I did not use.

This is the first transformer I bought since I started where I am having some buyer's regret :/ and if Prometheus is anywhere like this.. i don't think I want it.. hopefully my Ares can stand properly =-=

Anybody ordered Airburst from X2O? and have it shipped already?

i have a friend who says X2O told him it's reaching around 28 April

yeah , on their website updated to arrive on 25th but limited to 36 pcs.. so normal protocol, x2o will update the order to preparing if your order is beign shipped haha so I want to see if i am in this batch.. .. because if other people already got updated and not me.. most likely i won't be in this batch T_T

he said 36 pcs too, but date was given 28th.. so, i'm not sure.. also since i didn't order from them.. i'd better check with 1toy this sunday to see if there are any developments with my order

Nice review n pics
Mind me for my noob question why do they totally changed silverbolt's alt mode?

why dont ppl believe me when i say uranos sucks? lol

I believe you actually, haha, but aihh.. itchy hand, go amcorp lookin for something, didn't find it, but saw URANOS and thought . "Hmm I don't have an Autobot combiner yet..".. Next think I know was handing over my debit card lol.

Also I didn't think it would be thaaaat floppy.. I'll try and fix it and see. Saw some instructions online. The alt modes are pretty nice, might just display them as such hehe.

Hmm I have no idea. Maybe it's easier to hide the body underneath the plane if they use a Sr71 instead of concorde?.. but really Silverbolt is the worse of the bots and his only purpose is as a torso (and alt mode if viewed from the top lol)

MT Giant still best IMO
