I'll check and confirm for you when I'm in HK. All my stuff is on a boat on the way there at the moment (however, I'm pretty sure dirge would have checked his pieces before he answered anyway).

the shape of the arms that the tires are attached to is another matter entirely ( especially the shoulder part)
Bumblebee and Bumblejumper has the same mold sliding arm, while Hubcap and Cliffjumper has the same, those parts you CANT interchange coz of the shape difference on the shoulder area. You can jam it in yeah but that would ruin your toy and get it stuck plus you wont be able to roll the wheels smoothly if you tried forcing it - Ive tried.

Thanks guys,
Hopefully it works because Bumblejumper is on his way :D:D:D
If it doesn't work ill sort something out :D

Where was the black Movie 07 Arcee sold? The TFWiki says it Japan only but I'd swear the one in Autocon's sales thread has packaging in English.:confused:

Some JP Exclusives, especially ones labelled as 'USA editions', were in Hasbro packaging. Like Armada Thrust, Vadia Starscream, pink Arcee, Lawsons Blackout... I think, were all in US Packaging for some reason.

But the thing was that TRU sold that Jazz at the ridiculous price of $50! :o So it wouldn't surprise me if people selling the toy are charging a premium price, because they would have paid a premium price to get the toy in the first place.

That's why I never saw them here. Wow, I paid $30 USD for mine, I think. :/ aand it was my 50th TF :p

To be fair the Movie G1 Deco Jazz was also rampantly scalped.

Am referring to toys. We cool. There are just references to the live movie as TFTM. Am not the one creating it. But maybe for australia, it is never considered as tftm. I just google/search and that comes out.

Will reference TFTM 07 to a toy ruffle others' feathers as well?

I think now there are references to the 86 movie as TF Animated Movie.

No disrespect to the original.

I prefix them "Movie" or "TF07" generally.

The 1986 film is called "Transformers: The Movie". The 2007 film was called "Transformers". To use "TFTM" with no context and to then assume people will know you're talking about toys from the 2007 film makes no sense. If you do include "07" as a qualifier at least people will understand what you're talking about.

With the release of Elita-1 i'm almost done with the ROTF movie cast.
Or am i? Who else appeared in the movie that still (though might not be) needs to be released?

And apart from Scalpel, Ejector and insecticon were any other characters released as scout class that i may have missed?

I've got:
Autobots: Optimus, Jetfire, Sideswipe, Both versions of Skids and Mudlap, Arcee, Chromia, Elita-1, Jolt.

Decepticons: Megatron, Starscream, Grindor, The Fallen, Soundwave, Ravage, Demolisher, Rampage, Long Haul, Devestator, Scalpel, Ejector, Sideways, Mixmaster.

As always your help is appreciated.

I completely agree.

However, I also won't rule out the fact that the '07 movie generated interest from people who weren't Transformers fan heretofore and thus have no clue as to the 1986 TFTM. Understandable that certain fans would refer to '07 movie "erroneously", but it is confusing, yes.
