April's Automatons

[Sky Shadow]

You bought it, you break it. (The news that you bought it, that is.)

[valkyrie_76]

Well I actually did buy some original G1 goodness but I just posted them off :D

[5FDP]

Should be re-named 'Fortress Maximus Month' ;) :D

[VERT]

MP Frenzy and Buzzsaw for me today

[Krayt]

Mr Maxi is here at work

Jeez... that phone plug head thingy is TINY!!!

[The_Damned]

got my max today

[Sinnertwin]

Finances are back in the black, i pulled the trigger and bought FoC Grimlock and Blaster online along with the autobot data discs. Doesnt look like they'll be released here

[Sky Shadow]

MP Frenzy and Buzzsaw for me today

Me too.

They're fun - I like the way they retain their G1 scale. The piledrivers are good as a backpack, but don't seem to stay on Frenzy's arms so well. Also received Masterpiece Soundwave, Laserbeak, Rumble and Ravage (in the background), but I'm not yet 100% sure I want to open and keep those ones. (Edit: I've worked out how to click on the 'hammer arms'. Which means he's one of the least-flawed Masterpiece toys.)

Gorgeous packaging.

[5FDP]

Got my Fortress Maximus yesterday. He is hands-down my most expensive Transformers related purchase ever, however a lot more affordable than a second-hand one - and he's brand shiny new :D

Not sure what all this talk about double-taped is all about, mine is obviously the first batch and its single-taped. If I recall correctly, this rumour came from TFSource... maybe just so they can get their name in the news *shrugs*

Now I have a decision to make - to open or not to open :confused: I think I'll leave him sealed for now (that box art is sexy :cool:).

[Ozboticon]

Me too.

My MP 15 & 16 also came in today from Chimungmung!! Can't wait to open them up tonight!!!:D

Luckily I was here when he did.:cool:;)
The centerpiece for my TC collection is here!


(packed with some lovely air cushion things too:p:D)

[Kazza]

Glad to hear you got it safe and sound.

[Bidoofdude]

Me too. I was getting down this morning that he hadn't come yet, but I was in for a surprise.;)
Wish the chest unit was silver though, but it's still pretty snazzy already.:cool:
It's making me want Screamer SOOOOO bad!!!!:D:eek:

[Bidoofdude]

He looks pretty cool as well.
Should I put varnish or glue or something on the pegs that connect to the side tailfins so they don't come off?:cool:

Hmm, this is a common problem, and i'm not certain on a good fix for it. My usa edition mp starscream had this issue but it was due to excess paint, which i scrapped off and it stays snuggly in now. I wouldn't use glue on it as it could cause the piece to stay in a permanent position. You could try a tiny bit of varnish and see how that works.

[Bidoofdude]

Cool. I'm hooked on Masterpieces now!;):)
NEED that Hasbro Soundwave.:eek::D



(Also means I feel worse about Prime:()

Haha, oh i fear for you, its a very expensive line but most the toys in it are worth it. I recommend you have yourself a rule, like maybe only buy the hasbro toys in the future and avoid takara. Cause i didn't set myself a rule, i ended up buying toys from both lines, and with my OCD, i now have to complete and continue buying from both Takara and Hasbro.:rolleyes:

[5FDP]

You know, the art doesn't get any less sexy if he's not in it…

;):p

That's very true. I guess I should explain where I was coming from with that statement - if I were to remove him from the box, the only free spot I would have would be in front of the box. This is mainly because I have my collection on display in cabinets and it would take far too much effort to reshuffle everything in order to make room.

Either way, I don't need to make a decision in a hurry. Heck, I've been waiting almost 30 years to own a Fort Max, what's a couple more :p

[GoktimusPrime]

(packed with some lovely air cushion things too:p:D)
Have you popped them? They're heaps fun to pop! :D (arguably more fun than bubblewrap ;))

:eek: Have you considered just selling either your Hasbro or Takara MPs and just keeping one? I personally have a mix of Hasbro and Takara MPs... meh.

I already reshuffled stuff to make room back in October after I preordered. :p (and yet I've still yet to receive my toy :( :() -- how about just opening the toy and then just keeping it loose in box? That way it occupies the same amount of shelf space as the toy would MISB, but you've already opened it to play with. As Trent said, that box ain't gonna get any less prettier if you've opened it or not. ;)

Unlike say, Hasbro MP Thundercracker's artwork... gguuuuhhh... :rolleyes:

Look forward to seeing the grand TC shrine when you're done hehe :D

[Bidoofdude]

Yep. Next on the list is probably Encore TC and SW (mainly for TC:D) or I might save up HEAPS for the Botcon Shattered Glass Thundercracker.;):eek: (Action Masters paint scheme)

He's pretty cool ain't he? I also have Starscream in that mold and am trying to work out if Skywarp will see a release in that mold or if I should just get the Hasbro MP-3 mold. But that's another story.

Be careful with his head when transforming him. The arch you have to push his head through can scratch he paint off his head if you don't do it right. ;)

[crankcase76]

received these today from RK...:D:D

Told you not to worry. ;)

Yeah, I ended up using a motor tool with a grinding bit to widen out the arch. They should have moulded the head in black. :(

[Trent]

They should have moulded the head in black. :(
They should have removed the arch altogether like igear did with its seekers. Solved the problem completely.

[Gutsman Heavy]

MP Sideswipe & Red Alert, first acquisitions of the year!

[GoktimusPrime]

afaik the coins are exclusive to the Asian market toys... and with select figures (not sure which ones as I don't collect them). But toys from Japan don't come with them; I think they're a Hasbro Hong Kong thing, not a TakaraTOMY thing.

[Hursticon]

Been a bit quiet of late as I've been performing some PC & Home Network maintenance and upgrading, this silence will continue for a while longer though as I go in for surgery on my Left eye (RE: same situation as the surgery on my Right eye ;)) this Thursday; I thought I might drop-in quickly however & share some pics of my acquisitions obtained thus far this month:


HOLIEST TRANSFORMERS GRAIL OBTAINED! :eek::D


http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/a409/Darkone666au/DSCI0104_zpsb4dec096.jpg


...He arrived yesterday & with a grin from ear to ear, I spent about 3 or so hours enthusiastically & painstakingly applying all of his stickers; He joins the this pair of Masterpiece Transformers acquired earlier in the month:

I've looked around a bit online, could not find any news about a coin for MP-10B, so I believe there is no coin for MP-10B. Also RK who are usually the first online retailer to advertise exclusive coins for their Masterpiece Stock, did not advertise anything for MP-10B.

[The_Black_Sheep]

I had 1 or 2 as a kid, but not anymore :(
Wasnt there one where Megatron was driving a black car and OP ripped out a power pole and smacked him?

A couple of years ago, I decided to get my hands on all 6 of them. A few months of searching ebay (& about $20 in total) & Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime got himself some new reading material...

From the nicest eBay seller ever, nice to know they exist.

I also found the Kreon Micro Changers at Big W and picked up Blast Off, Rampage, Dirge, Inferno, Springer, Hook, Quickslinger and Warpath... I think that was all of them :rolleyes:

How is Encore Jazz? Good quality? :D
It looks pretty good. IIRC they even fixed the face sculpt to make the mouth look more like the original G1 Jazz -- the previous reissues had the G2 "poo-eating grin." :rolleyes: It also has a blue painted visor to make him look more like the cartoon - and it actually works well on this toy (unlike say Encore Trailbreaker :rolleyes:)

Unfortunately this one was double taped, which isn't so much of a problem, but I found the sticker sheet had slipped to the botom of the box and has a loose fold through it, it's currently under a stack of Transformers comics getting straightened out prior to sticker application. exciting stuff.

I'm so happy to finally have this guy. now I just need to figure out how I'm going to display him.

[Mythirax]

What a beautiful view in that last photo :)

[5FDP]

@ UltraMarginal - you got an Encore Devastator and MP Red Alert from both Robot Kingdom and Anime xport :confused: :p

[Iriorne]

Arrived at the beginning of the week:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/233731/OTCA/skyquake_1.jpg

No missiles and slightly broken, but looks pretty cool after a good clean. :) Might have a crack at repairs and casting some missiles some time.

I just realised Skyquake edges out MP-10 now as the biggest individual transformer I own.

[i_amtrunks]

Nice Acquisition there!

Very rare to find any non MISB version of Skyquake unbroken, and he looks in very good shape, tailfins and where they join with the golden plastic look nice and straight.

[Kazza]

Got my Botcon 2010 G2 Clench. I love the colors and retool of the head. Will post up pictures later plus the other stuff I've aquired lately.

[DarkHyren]

Arrived at the beginning of the week:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/233731/OTCA/skyquake_1.jpgOh that is a nice one, reminds me of the one I used to have. Can't seem to see any breaks in the picture, what's wrong with him?

That colour scheme looks fantastic! Congrats. :cool::)

And I must say that Skyquake and that Clench look very alike!:rolleyes:

Got Regeneration One #90 and can't wait for Guido Guidi to take over the art. It might make me actually like this series.

[Iriorne]

And I must say that Skyquake and that Clench look very alike!:rolleyes: Both a product of the early '90s. Well, the original Clench, anyway. Not a fan of pink highlights and neon light piping? :p


Can't seem to see any breaks in the picture, what's wrong with him?

Very little, actually. Aside from missing the missile launcher and all missiles, he's only missing wheels for the front landing gear and there's a small break in the plastic on the upper (jet) side of the scope, near the slot for the smaller predators to plug in.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/233731/OTCA/skyquake_2.jpg

I'll try and repair this with a bit of sheet styrene at some point, hopefully it's not GPS setting in. Otherwise, apart from some sticker wear and a few mis-applied stickers, he's in pretty good shape. :)

Oh, the transparent plastic on his chest is hazed too, but that's kinda my fault. It felt like there was some sticky residue and unfortunately the plastic didn't react too well to the solvent I used. :o I'd been meaning to get some micro-mesh sanding pads anyway, so this could be a good test. They run up to 12000 grit so with a bit of work I should be able to restore it to clarity.

[Sky Shadow]

hopefully it's not GPS setting in.

That's what it is, unfortunately. Be careful doing anything to it lest it shatters.

Picked up Encore 07 and Korean G2 Megatron tank thing from Kazza. :cool::D

[Ae-Evolution]

Found one of my parcels hidden from me today, received Takara legion Magnus along with a play arts figure, and bought a Takara Armada Hotshot, thought it was like the Universe mould but I was wrong. :/

[Kazza]

that a nice Unicron ! love the clear and detail....

I know, i love the colors for this one. The subtle green and purple is what made me go ahead and buy it. Plus Unicrons nowadays are rare and sparse.

[Iriorne]

That's what it is, unfortunately. Be careful doing anything to it lest it shatters.

Yeah, perhaps I was just being optimistic. I knew about the potential issues and the damage to the figure going in, so it was a calculated risk. Nothing much to do about it, I'll deal with it if and when it breaks. :)

A good piece
why he is not in this years Botcon

[Sky Shadow]

A good piece
why he is not in this years Botcon

Because Skyquake wasn't a Machine Wars or Beast Machines character? And he was already a BotCon toy in 2009? The Skyquake mould was used for Machine Wars Starscream and there are still over half a dozen BotCon 2013 figures yet to be revealed; MW Screamer could well be one of them.

I had one of those when I was a kid. I suspect it may have been a licensed release similar to "Shackwave" etc.

Generations springer is sensational. Awesome head mould. I think FP warbot may have seen the exit door. Its the perfect generations toy to join the cast of the 3rd season!

Blitwing is huge compared to the other classics line.

As for smokescreen - still in box and will stay there. Will open one day in many years to come.

Surely you are joking ;) :p

Don't call him Shirley. :)

Awesome hauls guys, I'm so envious! Haven't purchased a TF in like 6 months but am excited about Springer and BW coming in soonish.

[Bidoofdude]

They have the Kreon Combiners at the Warehouse?!?! :eek::D

[iamirondude]

i got the prime legends from 1 of the local woolies up here. just keep checking them cause they just pop up out of the blue sometimes.

[liegeprime]

:eek:Could u please post a pic of sundor....


oopsies I meant Sunder, oh I think Zippo just posted a pic on his acquisition lancalot, and he's got the other two pack im still missing.


Surely you are joking ;) :p

Wish I was. These were mostly just pre bought by my friend and I just collected it from his house. I only managed to buy the non Combining Yellow Constructicons, Ripclaw, FOC Blaster and the cassette 2 pack. I got em from TAGCOM there, but it's kinda frustrating that there's a lot of toys but it felt like there's nothing to buy :(. Kinda like when we attend Parramatta fair nowadays. Had I more chances to go out and shop at Greenhills Shoppesville too, I would've been able to get a lot of stuff with the AU $ buying power there.:o:(...Oh well mebbe next year. Ill be back in time for the Toycon so I should be able to really pig out heheh. I guess coz part of the fun is getting the stuff yourself, I didnt wanna miss out so I had him pre buy for me, but yeah just collecting it from his house just kinda lessens the excitement coz Im in Tagcom and I see all this stuff , i just keep saying.. got it, got it, hmm, got it too, sigh...

They did sell First Edition TF Prime toys there though on local TRU retail, how come we dont get stuff like that here? So unfair...:( wouldve saved a lot of moolah on our fellow collectors here if it were just locally sold in retail

Sweet! Freakin' BBTS still lists my Blitzwing and Springer as "Preorder"... wtf?!? :confused:

Take the toys with you and play on the plane! :D I remember my United Grapple arrived as I was packing to go to the airport... I just opened the toy and took it with me. First time I transformed it was when I was inside the plane. ;)

[Paulbot]

Sweet! Freakin' BBTS still lists my Blitzwing and Springer as "Preorder"... wtf?!? :confused:

Easy answer: Robotkingdom gets items from Hasbro HK. BBTS gets them from Hasbro US.

I'm hoping my triplechangers from RK are waiting for me at the post office today since they were posted last Thursday.

[doublespy]

From RK today

That freebie sticker sheet courtesy of Hasbro HK is actually not bad:cool:

[BigTransformerTrev]

Jealous of all of you who have your Blitzwings and Springers! Still waiting for BBTS to get mine in.

My acquisitions for the week:
(Technically I got six Wave 1 microchangers but two were the same :rolleyes:)

[liegeprime]

Good thing I'm not in a rush to get them triple changers, still got a couple of stuff I need to sort out from my overseas haul, so that should keep me busy. Anyways with BBTS though Im sure I wont miss out on the item. unlike how RK seems to accept more orders than they have in stock then you get an email daaaays after saying they couldn't fill your order which is just absofreakin disappointing to the max.

Forgot to include these two gifts from my friend back in Phils

How is Encore Jazz? Good quality? :D

Had intended to respond to this but couldn't get the response to less than a small essay. There are are a number of "issues" (for lack of a better word) with him... compared to my memory of the Gold Box Classic edition I got back in 1990. However, I only want to display him in box so I'm very happy with this one!

Anyone know if the Kreon Combiners are just at Mr Toys TW or both? (MRTW and regular TW)

I scored the transformers Mini-Books for 50 cents. Another Giant Devastator for $10, but his missing 1 part of his mouth and Scavengers Scoop, none-the-less, $10! I do have a question though, I picked up the blue and green colored thing next to Dev on the right a while ago, it has Hasbro/Takara 2003 on the back. Anyone have a clue what it is or what it's from?

Haha, thank you! Least now I know it was worth grabbing for a few cents. I had not a clue what it was, just had a feeling it was transformers related.

He's certainly worth the money...better than some of the crap Hasbro has dished lately, theres been some thought put in to him...hes way better than the sloppy piece of crap I bought called BH Wheeljack.....

[BigTransformerTrev]

Found these two little blokes at Safeways yesterday. Is 'Fallback' meant to be TFPrime's version of 'Outback' and Hasbro has lost the rights to the name (yet again)?

Looks that way
http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Fallback

[Ultra Mackness]

I'm very impressed with Fallback's weapon! Quagma is quark gluon matter (in plasma phase) which has a temperature around the 4 trillion degree mark (again theoretical though tentatively achieved at Brooklyn's heavy ion collider). Given that the centre of the sun is around the 27 million degree mark at its core (through nuclear fusion) this new minibot may well be the trump card team Prime needs to turn the tide in the war!

And yet he only has a Fireblast^power of 8! :eek: Should be 10^∞ :p Fallback's profile is interesting -- formerly in charge of finding worlds to colonise, but is now in charge of protecting worlds occupied by Autobots. A neat reference to Australia's history of colonisation and contemporary reconciliation. :cool: I was gonna skip this toy, but after reading the tech specs I snapped it up. :)

At the top of each piledriver you should see a set of "grills" or "vents" -- those are the back end of the piledriver. This picture (http://i.toynewsi.com/g/generated/Reviews/Transformers_MP-15/00_MP-15_Rumble_Ravage__scaled_600.jpg) shows Rumble's piledrivers attached backwards - so you can see those "grill/vents" toward the top of each. When attached correctly it should look like this (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-images/toys/images/229661-1/Rumble+Piledrivers+08.jpg) (vent/grills not visible from the front).
Also the insides of the piledrivers are asymmetrical with the bit that holds onto the guns facing toward the rear.

Received TF Prime commander class Ultra Magnus and DOTM Wheeljack/Que yesterday... and also bought TF Animated Almanac vol.1 (I already have vol2 and think I prefer that one of the two)

If you bought it online, I'd recommend contacting that online store and get them to sort it out for you. I contacted TakaraTOMY directly cos I got mine directly from Japan. TakTOM won't service a toy that's not purchased in their market; but online stores ought to be able to either give you a product exchange or source the parts for you. Or worse case scenario, get a refund and wait for the local cheaper Hasbro version. ;)

[drahsrebu]

Its been a while since i have had a good haul :)

Aw man, all these triple-changers are looking really goood. I'm holding out for Takara Springer, I hope he has a nice deco, although the Hasbro one looks mighty tempting. :s

Not a lot this month:

http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/tinyJazz/ap01_zps305cf042.jpg

Just waiting on Grimlock and Blaster and then I'll have all the FOC bots I need. The cyber slammer took only three days to get here from San Francisco. :| The seller had bent the card to get it into the dhl box, but it seems to have straightened out just fine after spending a week under something heavy.

Evil Jazz gets a friend. It's himself. He has no friends.

And these arrived at the start of the month:
http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/tinyJazz/ap05_zps223fb74f.jpg

Ah! Even the boxes are tiny and adorable. Perfect! Also, Jazz is actually a more intense shade of green than the promo shots. A new racing sponsor? Midori's Sportscar. :p Come on.


The AUTOBOT Invitational by Tom Whalen (http://www.acidfreegallery.com/autobot-invitational-by-tom-whalen-1/) arrived today, it sure looks sharp! Now it has the long wait until I choose, save for, and buy a frame.

Fort Max!

I also had 2 used glass cabinets delivered but they are unfinished and I expect it to be another slow project..

Cool! I love Tom Whalen's work, and these prints are breathtaking. Still haven't got frames for any of mine either. :o


I'm very impressed with Fallback's weapon! Quagma is quark gluon matter (in plasma phase) which has a temperature around the 4 trillion degree mark (again theoretical though tentatively achieved at Brooklyn's heavy ion collider). Given that the centre of the sun is around the 27 million degree mark at its core (through nuclear fusion) this new minibot may well be the trump card team Prime needs to turn the tide in the war!

What! Weapons like that should be illegal! :P It's weird how he only has a fireblast score of 8 though.


Got these babies in the post today. Pretty happy with the lot. The Combiner Kreons box is pretty nice. I was rather surprised at how catching they are.

My Ginrai has the correct amount of proper arms now! Oh happy day!


Finally! :D What is this, number four?

[crankcase76]

received this from HK yesterday.:D

'Midori' just means "green" in Japanese, so 'Midorino Sports Car" just means "Green Sports Car." :p The orange highlights make him look like he's trying to blend with the Mystery Machine!

"I am Oobidoob Benubi, I have the silliest name in the galaxy."
"What's your middle name?"
"Scooby-Dooby."

Where did you get the BeCool toys from? I was wanting to get some of the JP exclusive coloured ones, but since BotShots are hard to find online, the JP versions are even harder to find.

[Megatron]

Very busy month for me so not very many purchases at all, but I love what I got:

Ani dlx Soundwave
Final Battle Jazz
Heroes Of Cybertron Starscream w/ crown
Robot Heroes "Decepticon Sneak Attack"

All MISB/MOSC, thanks to Aqua Prime!

Hobbylink Japan had them, but seem to have sold out - looks like tinyJazz could have bought them all. ;):p They still have some of the other exclusives though: http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljlist?Word=transformers&DisplayMode=grid&Dis=2&Sort=std&qid=AROR7800FBN2A&set=1&q=1&SeriesID2=5560

If you haven't already learnt this - be careful when deploying the guns in vehicle mode - they can crack the paint job on his roof. Also, I'm amused by the number of Jazzes you're buying to display them in multiple modes.

A lil late in listing these but meh lol.

Really dig Ramhorn, possibly my favourite so far. One of the barrels on Bruticus' cannon is on the wrong way around, going to have to email BBTS or Fansproject in getting a replacement. And one of the piledrivers for Yin & Yang won't open up to slip the arm i, and therefore I broke it a little. Have to try and get a replacement for that too.

Awesome loot, shame about the couple of issues though. Always seems to be the way. I got a DOTM Leader Sentinel Prime the other month and most of him is bogged. Multiple places in his leg are cracked or molded wrong. The electronics are stuffed, some parts in his chest are the wrong size causing the screws to be pushed out and cause stress marks over him. Needless to say he doesn't transform into the vehicle mode. Least he looks nice after me fixing him up, but his stuck in robot form now. Need to get another :(

Hey, not true! I only bought like, five of them. They still had "Low Stock", after they processed my order.:D

Anyway griff, if you're having trouble tracking down Jazz, let me know. :) Technically, I have a spare, I don't think I need to keep a blindbox sealed for display.

Thanks for the heads up dude, I wasn't aware of the gun issues. I've noticed the guns make the loudest snap I've heard from any transformer though, so it doesn't surprise me.
I think the multiples will turn out to be either a really good, or a really bad idea.:o

[Ultra Mackness]

It's been a nice wind up for the month:

I'm amazed at how tiny this one is, smaller than a credit card!

Not in the photo but I hadn't realised the "animal" 'bot is on the flip side of the coin!

And these two are brilliant. I skipped Animated Blitzy because I couldn't get past the "deformed" style of animated, but this version just looks sweet!
