The top bits are Micromaster gestalt kibble - it's hard to tell from the size, but it looks like Sixtrain or Sixbuilder.Quote:

Yes, it's completely normal to feel like breaking Ultimate Bumblebee.Quote:

Just wondering for those with the Fort / Grand Max Jrs. Can you please post a pic of all the accessories he comes with :D

The kibble parts I refer to are the leg panel (blue on Fort Max, red on Grand Max) and the aft of the starship mode (grey).
I have freaked myself out after reading about GPS on TF Wiki and am now wary of forming Monstructor....
Has anyone ever encountered this?
http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Gold_Plastic_Syndrome
I invented the phrase, while Jhiaxus is the expert when it comes to GPS (and Brown Plastic Syndrome) in the 'flesh'. Most of those pics on Tfwiki are his: http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showpo...47&postcount=1 Most of us have had it happen at some point - Roller mentioned it just the other day, probably regarding a G2 Slingshot. If you want to form Monstructor, be particularly wary of Bristleback (and maybe Slog).Quote:

Bristleback has the problem that the inner tab that causes friction on his legs when you transform him (to keep them in place) is too large and require a lot of pressure for it to move. Skystalker has a similar issue in one of his ship's wings - that is why so many out there have that joint broken although in that case its not due to GPS but for Bristleback this considerably increases the danger of breakage.
What I did with mine was semi transform Bristleback's legs (one piece) and file that inner tab down so that its more manageable and 'softer' to move - Otherwise he can become impossible to transform without breaking. Now I can transform him with no problem at all but I still have to be careful.
Yeah, they're not entirely accurate, still, transforming Bristleback from beast mode or robot mode to arm mode so he can combine with Monstructor can be a killer on his beast legs.Quote:

Yeah, I broke both my Slog and Bristleback while transforming them for assembly into Monstructor. In the case of Slog the damage was non-essential, but with Bristleback it was part of his leg. :( The robot head of my Transmetal Megatron broke about 5 years ago; fortunately I was able to easily (and affordably) replace it with a Metals Megatron.
I was discussing this with kup a few days ago; one Transformer on my want list is G1 Roadblock. It's a toy I never got as a kid because the Pretender Vehicles never interested me (I got Gunrunner as a gift); they're underwhelmingly crap toys and didn't appear in G1 canon. Then Roadblock appeared in the BotCon Japan exclusive comic "Cybertron Chronicles" which has since put Roadblock on my wants list (although a low priority want). The thing is that I always want to play with any toy I get, but I know that if I get Roadblock I won't want to play with him in fear of damaging the inner robot! So I'm at odds... part of me wants the character, but another part doesn't want the toy if I can't play with it. Gah. I probably will eventually get it but it will be one of very few Transformers in my collection that I'll never play with. :(
It is possible to play with Roadblock since his inner bot doesn't have parts which 'frictions' with other parts during transformation like Bristleback. You just have to be careful during each transformation and always apply pressure at the base of moving parts but being careful doesn't mean slow and tedious. Also don't push down the dual gun to far down - just enough to hold it.
Gold Plastic Syndrome is a real pain but considering how bad it can be on some toys, Roadblock's ain't so bad.
My Bristleback shall forever remain in "arm" mode. And I'm okay with that.
After reading all this :eek: I don't think I'm ever going to transform Bristleback....
ok i have 3 questions
1. i need more information on pretender shells, ive looked on tfwiki, on google EVERYTHING but i dunno, i really cant understand them
2. why is energon pink?
3. i heard the target 2006 has a brilliant story line but i dont really want to read it because of the storyline but i was wondering if anyone could help me out on whats the plot, whats it about?
1. A toy gimmick. The comic tried to makesense of it in the story, Masterforce did a better job of it. Basically it's another way of the TFs being in disguise in addition to their basic transforming to disguise gimmick.Quote:

3. During Transformers the Movie, Galvatron travels back in time to earth in 1986 in an attempt to escape Unicron's control. Meanwhile on Cybertron in 1986 the Autobots set a trap to wipe out the deadliest Decepticons, which is thrown into jeopardy when their greatest warrior, Ultra Magnus, leaves for earth to investigate the disappearace of Optimus Prime (caused by Galvatrons appearance from the future).
Actually you have three. And I only have time to answer the third one.Quote:

As a basic summary, during Transformers: The Movie, when Galvatron says "Decepticons, to Earth!" he actually takes himself, Scourge and Cyclonus twenty years into the past to make a massive Earth-based gun to be buried underground (where Autobot City would be built) to destroy Unicron (and, presumably, Autobot City). Their time travel requires "mass substitution", so when the Decepticon trio appear, Optimus Prime, Prowl and Ratchet disappear into 'limbo'. On Cybertron, the Autobots are planning Operation: Volcano - an uprising against the Decepticon control of Cybertron, which they've been planning meticulously and cannot be aborted. But then the Matrix Flame is extinguished, so Ultra Magnus travels to Earth to find out what happened to Optimus Prime. Galvatron beats up Megatron and Soundwave and becomes the new leader of the Decepticons (he needs the Constructicons to build his big gun). Back on Cybertron we meet, for the first time, some group called 'The Wreckers' who are supposed to fight the Decepticons without Magnus. The Autobots on Earth are still leaderless, and try to deal with that. (Not so well - they pretty much have Megatron leading them. Which is awesome.) It has a fight scene between Galvatron and Ultra Magnus that lasts an entire issue of a comic. Oh and Hot Rod, Kup and Blurr turn up too. So the story is about everyone on Earth (except The Constructicons, Starscream and, kind of, Jazz) trying to take down Galvatron and the movie Decepticons. And the Autobots trying to wrest Cybertron from the Decepticons.Quote:

thank you
Has there been any info released on a new Transformers cartoon, possibly in connection with Discovery?
I seem to remember something being mentioned at a panel or investor meeting or something. Casting began about three weeks ago for some Transformers production also.
Any info and supporting links appreciated :)
No real info only that they are planning something for late 2010. We are likely to get something more substantial at Botcon - They will likely refrain from announcing anything until then.Quote:
