February Acquisitions

^No...or at least I didn't hear any when I was transforming him...

Bunch of Beast Wars stuff arrived in the mail:

Im guessing these are robot heroes, but they look much better than the ones availiable now so i dont know where they came from.

They're not Robot Heroes. I'm not sure what they are.


They look very similar to the super deformed chibi figures that many lines of figures have (DBZ, Gundam, Ranma1/2, bleach etc)

They look snazzy, better poses than the Robot heroes too.
I believe the ones in the second photo are rotocasts. The ones in the first photo look solid though. :)

Try inserting his key or swinging his sword arm. If there's no sound, see if he has a battery cover you can open and then see if there are batteries installed. It's possible that the South Korean version you have ditched the electronics like the US one did.

^I did as you said...and there is no sound...

Erm.... the US version does have electronic sounds.... :confused:

Does it? I only bought the Takara version, so I didn't know. I knew the US version was crippled in some way, so I assumed it was the electronics, but I guess I might have been thinking about the floppy sword and wing plastic.

I have both.

The only differences are in the paint jobs and Hasbro's VP wings being more rubbery.

Personally, I think that Hasbro's Vector Prime is rather good - It's not show accurate but it does have a nice paint job overall.

As Kup mentioned, it's just the paint apps and the plastic used on certain parts... all the electronics remain on both versions of Hasbro's Cybertron/Galaxy Force releases of VP (the gold and the white one).

The only ones that were 'crippled' were the latest Universe redeco (brown/black) version of VP and Botcon Alpha Trion - they both had their electronic gimmicks removed.

After ages in not buying ROTF I bought Acree, Chromia, Brawn, Desert Ratchet, Jolt and Ravage. Last week I received a minty complete G1 Dirge.

Autocon, glad you're happy with The Ramps! :D

[Zippo]

Got this last weekend and out it together this
Using the last of the free space in my room. Once this is full then I know it time to get my own place.

One small flaw with it is the middle boards that seperate the shelves into cubes. Need to try and figure out if I can remove them without compomising the structural soundness.

And today's cheap Toyworld purchase.

My last transformer for February

This would bring my overall collection to 191 but sadly when my friend was playing around with my ROTF Wideload he broke it

So that makes Animated Cybertron Mode Optimus Prime Transformer number NEW 190

[griffin]

Been too busy lately to post what I got at the end of February. So just quickly:

Three loose ends, all from ebay -
Alternator Camshaft (was last one missing because it wasn't released in great numbers, or here at all)
Titanium Brawl (same reason as Camshaft)
Robot Replicas Fallen and Sideswipe (none released here, but finally got all ten from TF2)
