Long gone now I would imagine
Probs hit up the BST pages around the place & cross your fingers
Whats the correct 'eye' colour of the shockwave g1 toy? TIA
Not 100% sure but yellowQuote:

I recall reading scuttlebutt after the reveal that it was developed without actually having a place in any pending toy line (which just seems absurd tbh). Has anyone heard anything further?
EDIT: Apparently this was from this year's Wondercon (in February)

Ok, so regarding Armada Prime, no decision as to whether to put him in Masterpiece, Generations, or another line. It hasn't been canceled but nothing has been decided what to do with him as they wanted to show the prototype to gauge interest. I told him a boatload of people want to buy him and encouraged him to make it happen.
I'd love just a crumb of info, it's the only thing stopping me from preordering fanshobby'sQuote:

For bonus points black and purple colour scheme on the Transformer would be good as that will match the colour scheme of my computer.
I might go with the black and purple IDW stealth bomber Megatron, but he's a little taller than I would like.
CW Legends Skywarp? Not sure about stability though. Or Insecticons?
Its either one of the skywarps, or one of the insecticons I suppose.
Also the answer to the question “who became Cyclonus?” :DQuote:

Sorry I cannot be of any help, but this reminds me that as a kid I had an old computer tower which was mostly gutted, that I'd use as a base of sorts to play with my toys in. :pQuote:

OP's altmode might look different enough to its real world counterpart but both the Decepticons look really similar to the real things. MP-36 gun is almost the same size as the actual Walther P38.
Has the “Universal Greeting” been used in *any* Transformers fiction since the ‘86 animated movie?
UK G1 comics. Pretty sure Wreck-Gar said it in Animated.Quote:

Out of curiosity...has there ever been a human-scaled/role-play-esque Matrix produced? I assume there must have been and vaguely recall seeing one once on the various international TF sites, but I'm not totally sure and a Google search didn't turn up anything...
3P has definitely done one (I know because I have it) not sure about official but if one exists I'd happily buy it myself.Quote:

I want to say the HFG ports perhaps?
One of the limbs has a jaw that pops right off with the slightest of touches. That's all I can think of.Quote:

Thanks. Really usefull.
Now that this figure has been properly announced, its a Target exclusive in the US. Don't know what that means for here. We didnt get SS Leadfoot, who was also a Target exclusive.Quote:

Unfortunately, we don't get much of the US Target exclusives here.Quote:

We managed to get two of the Cyberverse packs here (was meant to get the Repugnus set here too, but Covid downturn of the economy resulted in a cutting back of exclusives here)... but all of the others required secondary sources, Asia, and American friends... all of which cost a lot more. :(
We totally got stiffed on that Siege Rainmaker set too. :(
I had to pay way too much for that Rainmaker set and I didn't even go through a scalper. I got it from RK who had some stupid high price on it.Quote:

Voyager Wave 3 is out here. But most retailers are still on Wave 2. It's probably best to order ER Megatron from Amazon AU.Quote:

They might show up at retail stores, but it is never guaranteed, as they were first available in the later half of September.
I didn't think that the wave 2 Deluxe figures were going to show up at retail because they had also been on Amazon Australia for over a month, but then they suddenly started showing up at Kmart and Toyworld a little over a week ago.
I was wondering if you guys consider the Generations Powermaster Optimus Prime toy from a couple of years ago to be a different character to the Legends Ginrai toy?
