And there's a UK wage freeze now, so the gulf between Aus and UK is likely to continue to grow.

I don't know what to tell you. We all worked in the same industry and still do - Telecommunications, and they relocated to the UK to perform the exact same roles but at a higher pay. I would have made the move myself if it weren't for the fact that I'm married and had a child on the way at the time. Put it this way - they wouldn't have relocated all the way to the UK if they were going to be worse off financially ;) I guess you just have to be in the right industry.

The last part of my comment was a mere observation based on what I have paid for Transformers in the last 10 years of collecting and not necessarily in relation to the first part of my comment.

My brother works in the UK and he gets phenomenonally fantastic pay over there (he's in the finance sector).

I have not transformed mine in a while, and have kept it on display in robot mode. The other day I tried transforming it but the head will not go all the way down as so it is possible to close the cover piece over :( Tried unscrewing the back to open it but its clipped on as well, so I did not progress any further.

Nope, but then he's been sitting in his box all this time. If I pass by it, I'll have a look see.


Anybody know what animal/monster Repugnus is supposed to be? I just realised that he is an early version of the Botcon drone bugs Dirge and co.

Eehhh... some kind of insectoid/buglike monster... thing. :p

Aaah, I see. I thought it might have been based on a known monster, you like a chupakabra or something. Obviously not.

That's exactly what we need - Transformers that turn into real-life make-believe monsters :p Or even Star Wars-like monsters? Potential? :p

A Gryphon, Kukulcan, Hydra would be excellent - especially the Gryphon.

Wouldn't it be awesome if they'd make a proper Generations version of each of the Terrorcons - forming a modern day Abominus would be simply , WOW!

Hun-gurrr - 2 headed Dragon
Cutthroat - a Harpy
Sinnetwin - an Orthus
Rippersnapper - a land walking Jaws :D
Blot - dunno what it is , maybe a sasquatch?, or as the Tfwiki says - a NOSE monster heheeheh

Lol. If those were intended to be Decepticons, then they need to make an Autobot Scooby-doo :)

That would be awesome! Somebody needs to pick up the pace and bring that to fruition! :):)
If Cutthroat was to be Harpy, then would he/she be a femcon as well? :confused:
Blot - I always saw him as a monster that hunts through trapping its prey: Crab-like claws, a shiny black 'Alien' like head suitable for hiding, small legs that can't run fast :p
