Mirage has done alot more than some other Autobots who do almost nothing in the show. Just look at all the amazing heroics done by Skids......If you can find him :p

Mirage is awesome.
He takes out both Skywarp and Thundercracker on his own in the 2nd episode of the pilot trilogy, he sabotages the Decepticon cruiser in the third, he hatches a plan to turn the enemy against each other in Traitor (probably the episode you're thinking of @Spiderken) which for 80s cartoons is pretty much genius-level cunning, and he steals Megatron's fusion cannon right off his arm in Desertion of the Dinobots. That's pretty hardcore for a G1 Autobot.:cool:
oh i agree he was awesome but he looks like a gobot and that's unfortunateQuote:

If he looked like a Gobot his head would be the windscreen with a simile face drawn on it. :p

Maybe I should buy her the upcoming Maketoys Not Scorponok to let her know how much I'm committed to this relationship :rolleyes:
I've got Bullsfire Airstrike (not Swoop) waiting for me at the Post Office.
(What a way to end the year).
Wow, both she and her present are amazing! She really knows her stuff!Quote:

KFC Transistor. ...MP Blaster arrived :)

VERT how's Fader? mine feels like the white paint is coming off the metal parts.... other than that MP Not blaster is pretty shiny :D
http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/...psc70a7f55.jpg
I haven't opened Invisible yet
Paint on Faders legs are a bit of a worry. But im happy with him.
Yeah, I'm a bit late to this party, but thats because I'm especially fussy about my 3P purchases.
But this thing is freakin rad. Uber badass.
Barely had a chance to muck with it much though...

How nice is Blaster? That transformation and paint job are decent. I agree re Fader, the paint is a bit of a concern but not too bad. I'm a bit disappointed they didn't paint the back of the additional heads for him.Quote:

I missed out on the first round Transistor, although Tony advised he should have plenty of stock, I guess I missed it! I did however order the second round one. Looking forward to getting it, hopefully before I go to Bali and Singapore in early Feb.Quote:

Not that I mind waiting, Rex is kind of a grail for me.
Coincidentally, my Tigris came with the yellow faceplate, which personally I don't need. If anyone wants a cartoon-accurate not-Rampage faceplate (and/or a set of Leo Dux shoulder cannons from the G1-style Heisenberg set) I'll be back in Oz this July/August and I'd be up for a trade if anyone has any of the other accessories I'm after.
Soar for me today. Excellent figure in every way.
That's pretty cool. I always liked this original design - the right amount of PCC blockiness. You can't go wrong with MakeToys (unless you're collecting all their Battle Tanker variants, then you'll go broke).Quote:

Got these today, only opened not-steeljaw and played with it a few mins, didnt see how to lock it in but not really impressed so far. We'll see later

My first 3rd party figure in years - I think the last ones I bought were the Justitoys WST Dinobots. Waiting on clear-backed Autobot stickers from Reprolabels since I didn't really fancy the ones supplied by Chimungmung.

KFC's earlier work wasn't so good. Only recently have they turned it around with Citizen Stack and Transistor.Quote:

Received my Soar from Chimungmung, no issues with shipping, item was received within a week.
I think besides Giant, Soar is my next fav 3rd party figure. So much detail, lots of die cast, plays and poses so well. Brings back so many G1 memories from the cartoon. My wife was laughing at me for taking so much care unboxing and transforming him. She couldn't believe that I was playing with him for almost 2 hours.
I've transformed him more than a few times now and posed him a bit. All joints are tight. I had to loosen a couple with a screwdriver, no pain chips, no cracks ... the gold tab on the knee is very tight, I can see why ppl have snapped it. Very impressed with this guy. Can't wait for the rest of the Di(no)bots!

the quality of scoria is what made me get soar. the quality and style etc of soar is what has made me get their entire product line as soon as they are released.
KFC Toys Blaster arrived
sans hands for soundwave and one of hifi's guns
:( email off to tf direct about that one
I got my hands on MMC Talon. Only 3 to go for Feral Rex. It came with some spare black pieces in the instruction bag, anyone know what the deal is with them (they look like elbow joints and what-not)?
