Got this from TRU.
Initially I only thought it was for ROTF.
I've been eyeing this for a little while.
Not bad for $20, but should be $12-$15 like when Big W dump stock.

WOW Valkyrie!!! Ebay? :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
lovin those gunformers!!
Well, here it is! After years of scouring eBay and online comic shops, I finally have the full set of the hand-painted Geoff Senior posters of Unicron's attack on Cybertron which featured in issues 320 - 322 of the Marvel UK comic series :D:D:D
This has been my holy grail for years and my quest has come to an end. It's hard enough getting any of the issues post 300; it's almost impossible to find them with their free gifts still attached.
Now, to get it framed :cool:

Very nice. I had them years ago but as usual, they always seem to disappear when you move house a few times (just like socks in the washing machine :D)Quote:

Another Jazz and Tracks for alt mode, and the Japanese release of Breacher. The dark blue is really nice!
Whats the backstory of the picture? And who is the guy 'ascending' in the middle?Quote:

Basically the story is that a United alliance of Cybertronians ( Autos and Decepts) have been teleported back to Cybertron to defend and defeat Unicron. This was done by a Possessed Emirate Xaaron ( the glowing ascending guy) - possessed by Primus himself.
He explains to all his "children that the chaos bringer must be defeated only by joining forces can they succeed and so they did.
Powernaster Prime is struggling to free the goodness in the Matrix ( the one thing which can defeat Unicron) since it has been tainted by Thunderwing's malign influence ( when he has gained control of the artifact - but later on been possessed by the matrix - See Marvel G1 - Matrix Quest). During this time Scorponok is leader of the Earthbound decepticons and has agreed to the alliance and died a hero in Prime's arms while attacking Unicron. Bludgeon takes leadership after....
As the story goes, Prime is able to free the goodness of the matrix but with the cost of sacrificing himself ( Prime's love doing this out of habit :p) which then paves the way for the introduction of Actionmaster Prime but that's a later story. Grimlock gets to be leader ( actionmaster Grimy) as per Prime's last wish relayed to Prowl.
The Marvel run from Matrix Quest onwards to issue 60 in US got me hooked , earlier issues are a bit of hit and miss story wise for me.
In UK G1 comics continued on with Rodimus being leader etc etc, thus have more comic # and also had different storylines, but was effectively tied up to the continuity of US whe Furman took reigns of the comic wrtiting for both. The UK comics has these freebie connect to make a big poster at the middle which you get when you buy religiously the issues - which are hard to come by nowadays WITH them posters ( as per 5FDP):) Hope that helps, other data Im sure Gok can provide
Sounds like the epic scale of a TF comic :pQuote:

Which is why a lot of people ( well oldies hehehe like me) got really excited when Generations Thunderwing got issued ( and was announced last Botcon) because basically the G1 figure sucks - there I admit it:D:p , BUT Furman made these characters oh so BAAAAAAD - Thunderwing, Bludgeon, Scorponok and full of character and life....
Congratulations 5FDP!! :D <envy>
yeah, there are some things in that poster that are, strictly speaking, canonically incorrect. It show's Prime pulling the Matrix out of his chest -- Powermaster Optimus Prime never had the Matrix in his chest. The Matrix was lost when his original body was buried in space, hence the Matrix Quest. Also, at the time the Matrix was actually in possession of Thunderwing. Furthermore, it shows Starscream "leading" Decepticons against Unicron... the Decepticon contingent was heroically led by Scorponok. Starscream's role (as well as Shockwave's) can be best described by this memorable song...
Brave Sir Starscream ran away
Bravely ran away away
When danger reared its ugly head
He bravely turned his tail and fled
Yes brave Sir Starscream turned about
And gallantly he chickened out
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave Sir Starscream!
Aww, I like Thunderwing. But yeah, Furman had an incredible nack of making otherwise forgettable toys really cool and memorable. He's even admitted himself that had he known what influence his writing would have, that he would've bought a box load of Bludgeon toys and made a motza by selling them today. :pQuote:

A not bad day yesterday....
Got myself a Electro Disrupter Mirage
Then ran into Heroic Decepticon and his wife. (let me add how impressed I was with her ability to happily walk with me and HD toy shopping - you got a keeper there HD :)
Then went to Hobbybase and got Jazz and Tracks - they are beautiful....
Final stop YMT, where I forgot I had a set of United figures waiting for me. Plus he had Starscream Henkei which I happily bought :)
Congrats that's. GorgeousQuote:

Why: dunno? He says it's an extra he got so he gave it to me free as a gift, free :)
How: well someone hands a big MP box to you, for free.... you take it with both hands and say thanks graciously :D:D
I didn't mean for you to take my questioning so literally :rolleyes: :p
Ahh, very nice indeed sir. Such a wonderful toy of a very memorable character! Hope you enjoy his royal gloriousness. :DQuote:

I think I've settled on getting it framed... dependent on the cost. I did think about getting it laminated and was going to ask Optics if it's something he does and how much, but I reckon it would look a lot more attractive behind glass.
I'm planning on hanging it in the new room (the one I had built last year) and I have a rule of no blu-tak on the walls.
I'd still be up for a CBD meet though :)
Picked up today for my fellow Perthicons
Also Leo Convoy, Choro Q Optimus, Legends Cliffjumper, Brawn, Beachcomber and Blade:the series
Whoa, just realised, not the clearest pic I've taken. Oh well, you get the idea
Forgot to post it last week, but got a nice Super Side Burn and TM Tarantulas from BlackConvoy.

I know I've mentioned so before, but it is always intriguing to me to see these G1.5 figures in a Japanese guise as there is something very mysteriously parallel to them. :cool:
Once again, absolutely stunning examples Heroic, congratulations on finding them again. :D

So many figures I am envious of but eyes are unrestrainedly drawn to that beautiful Lio Convoy - Is it the Original or the Robot Masters version if you don't mind my enquiry? ;):cool:
Holy crap! :eek:Quote:
