"Cyclonus is capable of an additional transformation, trimming his wings and tail back to assume a space-worthy rocket mode for interstellar pursuit and warfare."
(Although we probably all have that comic, I snagged the quote from http://www.ntfa.net/universe/english...&char=Cyclonus coz I'm at work).
I had a go at this mode last night. Doesn't look good.
Anyone know any good places to hunt TF's in Taylors Lakes in Melbourne? Heading from the bush today for a wedding there, and might get an hour shopping in tomorrow before we head home again.
From memory, Watergardens centre had Target, Toyworld, Big W. I'm not too sure of the smaller stores or the other complex though :oQuote:

they changed his face scult is all. Takara lost his original moulding and they had to mould a new face in, but the booktype ones had a wonky face due to the smirky mouth, which they finally corrected on release of Stepper.Quote:

Just remember if it's packaged - it has to be Takara packaging, Hasbro never changed the packaging or came up with their own - the retailers, they just added the orange cap which destroys all MISB collectors dreams to dust heheheh. if it's in some other packaging then more than likely it's a KO I have not heard off.Quote:

Australia has none of this law, especially concerning Megatron - youd be tackled and brought to the ground if you ever tried bringing him out in broad daylight heheheh.. or worse arrested and fined in most states here. Which is why Im hoping they make a G2 Megatron MP if they can't do a downsized MP5 mold.
He's not joking. This has actually happened to a TF collector who was stupid enough to brandish a Megatron toy in gun mode in public.Quote:
