i dunno, but somehow i hate the movie now. the movie brings hype and it has destroyed the TF market. everything has become too pricey already, unreasonably too. i hope this movie hype would die before hasbro's MP Starscream is realeased.

no!!! MP series are for G1!!!

the fact that frenzy who is as tall as a human can transform into a radio smaller than his head is already unlogical. micheal bay is contradicting himself.

btw; to new alternators and binaltech collectors:

get the mustang and rx-8 mold la. the subaru mold is inferior compared to these two. the impreza has so much transformation problem, although it does look good. grimlock/wheeljack and meister/shockwave has a cleaner transformation and better poseability. i think the ford GT is a good mold too.

scourge is not "very" huge. certainly not as huge as unicron. i think it's fotress maximus too. he's the only "huge" "grey "autobot with "red sword" afaik. although i don't really remember the sword .

mirage is still new, so probably can get from some toy shop although i doubt that after the movie hype you can get retail price.

alternators did not get much attention before. so most retail stores will carry only a few. i remember there was like 5-6 meister everywhere when i was into alternators. then only a few grimlock, then a whole bunch of prime in TRU. after that things got slow and the numbers of new stock decreased. when it's mirage's time, the were only like 3-4 new stock in most retail stores.

dude, i think shockwave is only in BT series. could be wrong though.

hmmm.....the cartoon is kinda cool. makes them look alive. the toys are also not too bad. IMO, a better design than Michael Bay's version.

ps: i may not buy the toys(retired), but i got the feeling i'm gonna love the cartoon more than the movie.

nah i didn't mean the toy, i meant the movie design. besides, the toys and movie cgi looks really different. in the movie, i was like...where did that grill go?...where did that engine spun off too?...what the?

the transformation animation is near illogical to my eyes. just a bunch of metal clunking together. more like morphing than transforming. and how the heck can frenzy transform into a radio smaller than his head?

any way, optimus's new axe is way cool. rocket powered axe anyone?

btw; sold off my powermaster prime and sixshot today.

wow!!! they look cool. dinobots look so primitive, super cool.

one word, "movie hype". i got mine for exactly rm280 last year. glad i decide not sell it . crazy price nowadays.

@undici: i find hasbro's MP SS quite alluring too . then again, hasbro's been know to do lusy paint job.

errr....i doubt there was an MP1 when you where small. how old are you? MP1 is a 2003 product IINM.

yeah slyph is a cool guy. dealt with him a few times before. depends on model, he'll charge reasonably, no goreng!! airbrush some more. his contact is in his sig if i'm not mistaken. just pm him.

want sixshot? check my sig for the pic of my sixshot that i sold last night . kept him for more than 12 years already. hard to let go.

really? the dvd or the 20th anni version? the 20th anniversary is quite ok. good paint job. it's the dvd that's a total crap.

heheh, powermaster optimus. just sold mine for rm120. hasbro's though. kept for 12+ years. yup SWATwolf missing the powermaster figure.

that's why alt is better than BT . no worries of paint chip, plus plastic is easier to pose. yep, the mustang mold is the coolest IMO, i can't imagine owning a BT grimlock. for sure will have tons of paint chips.

haha true2. i kinda hate the 2007 movie for it. it's not that good anyway. still prefer the '86 one. the more i watch the 2007 movie, the more i see its flaw. anyway, just compare the V2 and V3 of this thread, v2 was really quite slow, but v3? dang!! 1000+ post, easy.

good thing i wasn't affected by the TFTM movie hype. poor you guys .

trying to accept i guess. as i said, it's not a bad special effects movie. most of the time i just let the movie run in the background and do something else (in the office ).

1. it was in the acceptance process that i watch it a few times and found the flaws. disliking it doesn't mean i won't watch it again for fun, i never said it's a bad movie. if i'm in the mood to watch "crazy robots destroying stuff", i'll definitely watch it again.
2. i didn't compare it. i just said i PREFER to watch the cartoon movie.

satisfied?

me playing with words?

i was voicing an opinion when suddenly you're the one twisting MY words for some sick pleasure. you don't have anything better to do or something? what i PREFER is my choice, what's you're problem kiddo?

if i prefer to ride a bike to work instead of a car, am i comparing a wira against a virago? not necessarily now is it? maybe i just like bikes more than i like car. it's non of your business either way. so stop trying to stir an argument.

comprehend this:

if i prefer foodX over foodY simply because i like foodX better, am i comparing the two? no, it's just i like foodX better because my taste buds prefers it. i hate foodY, but that doesn't mean i will not try it from time to time to change taste according to my preferences. am i contradicting myself here? no, because i didn't hate foodY enough to a level where i won't try it ever again. preference and hate is a subjective matter, comparison is more logical. preference is a matter of free will and comparison need not necessarily be involved. comparison however, is most of the time based on preference. not the other way around.

you put a bigmac and kfc's chicken on a table and give to me for free. would i actually compare the two before choosing? no, i'll simply pick the one i prefer at the time. do you see any comparison at work here? can't really say can you? there could be and there could not. it's subjective. savvy?

if i compare the two movies and the 2007 movie came out with all the pros. will i still prefer the 2007 movie? no, because the human mind does not really need logics to choose. you see how my preference affects my comparison and how my preference is NOT affected by the logical comparison?

so you can't say "when you prefer something, there must be comparisons. If not, the preference would not exist in the first place, right?". unless you're being narrow.
