Today I learnt that with AOE drift, you can store all his swords in his bugatti mode. While the swords are stored at the bottom, the daggers are stored inside from the ceiling of the car.
Only just realised Sinnertwin's Username was based on a real transformer :confused:
Sorry I guess...:confused:
If you're a child of the 90's or 00's I guess we can forgive you :D:pQuote:

He must have kicked himself in the butt a few years after I was born and showed me the 80s movie and I started wanting the toys. He started buying some G1 figures online. I had Hoist, Wheeljack, Prowl, Seaspray, Beachcomber, Brawn and Wheelie. Then I got some Transformers Cybertron Legends, Some Movie Legends, Scouts and Deluxes, and my last TF before I lost interest was Animated Bulkhead and the Jetfire/Jetstorm pack.
And because of Age of Extinction I got back into Transformers.
Yeah. I got drawn back in THAT easily. :D :p

Folding the cab panels on Optimus like so makes a subtle but noticeable change to the silhouette. It's not well shown in this photo, but the Blackbird engine nacelles stand out more, which is more screen-accurate.

only realised the other day that all decepticons end with con eg constucticon, insecticon and autobots end with bot, dinobot ,arialbot. lol
There are several faction-exclusive sub groups that buck this trend, including...Quote:

* Aquaspeeders
* Brainmasters
* Breast Force
* Multi Force
* Powered Masters
etc.
And there are obviously other sub-groups which aren't bound by faction, such as Headmasters, Targetmasters, Action Masters, Micromasters, Pretenders, Clones, Powermasters, Power Masters, Godmasters, Obliterators, Transmetals, Fuzors, Mini-Cons etc. :)
The way I justify that in my head is that those teams which you have suggested Gok are teams defined by a technology, rather than a theme (ie: Dinobots are a team of Autobot Dinosaurs, whereas the Lightformers are a jeep and a plane who use light based weapons).Quote:

that is cool, is that the same as the dark of the moon deluxe of ratchet, if so I think I might finally get around to opening my one of these this weekend.Quote:

Rather obscure but I just noticed CW Optimus Maximus's limb layout is very similar to Energon Optimus Prime. Cool
I just got RID Warrior Optimus. I didn't know Hasbro had gone back to putting instructions on the back of the packaging. It's good to cut down on paper used, but also means they are cheaping out even furtherer.
Hook and Mixmaster's elbows are actually double jointed! :eek: Until now, I thought that they could only swivel up and down, but they can also rotate left and right! So cool! :cool:

They stole their extra joints from Scrapper and Long Haul :pQuote:

I only discovered it when I was trying to transform the Encore Blaster recolour (billy) and then his fist suddenly turned when I pressed on it, I thought I broke it, but then the other one did as well, I thought then, must be an improvement to the mold so I got my original G1 Blaster and did it to his fists... they rotated, viola!!! something new, well for me that is...
http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/...psztqkhkze.jpg
The fists actually rotate because the arms are meant to be rotated for robot mode... which is something I didn't realise for a looooong time, because the arms looked stupid being thick, instead of thin (not rotating them to see the shoulder stickers like in that image link).Quote:

(I think transforming him for these photos is the first time he's been transformed in over a decade. One of those arms was really tight and in need of excessive force!)
I've always just done the regular mode Paulbot , Bossbot which is prolly why I haven't rotated those wrists and never knew of the articulation hahahah - as you can very well see in that pic I have attached, Im still doing it even to the new version. Doh!! :o:o:o I gotta play with these figures more often....

So apparently the Optimus Prime that comes with Stratosphere is small enough to fit into Combiner Wars Devastator's hands! Also I think Optimus is Micro Machine size
I would take photos, but I'm pretty buggered at the moment so I can't be bothered.
UPDATE: Actually it's not only Devastator who can hold him. I tried it on a few figures (Titan Metroplex, MP10 Optimus, Armada Tidal Wave) and they all can hold Optimus Prime. In fact Stratosphere can also hold him.
Hope you didn't lose your lil' Optimus Prime, because a lot of bots can in fact, hold him.
Fist bump (born in '99 but still).Quote:

So obviously you've realised you need a life, but is that technically connected to Transformers? :pQuote:

I should be feeling young with all the people here talking about how old they are, and I'm just here feeling old amongst all the teenagers on the forum.
