LUGNUT: So... to prove you're not Voltron, you combined into two big robots with swords?
MAGNABOSS: Um... yes?
LUGNUT: I'm not stupid , guys – I know there are two Voltrons. I have a TV.
SPRINGER: Everyone! Flash Lio Convoy... has been stabbed!
THUNDERWING: Maaatriiix!

FLASH LIO CONVOY: White Lio Junior... it is to you, old friend. I shall pass...
LUGNUT: It's okay, I can pass it for you.
MAGNABOSS: No!
FLASH LIO CONVOY DIES. HIS VOICE: Arise Lugimus Prime!

MAGNABOSS: #^@*. Seriously, if I kill Lugnut now would it still just be counted as murder, or is it already regicide?

(Special thanks to Vector Prime for Lugimus, and Fatbot for the awesome Thunderwing.)
Nice acquisitions there Sky Shadow! :DQuote:

On a side note, Predaking's sword seems a little small huh? are you thinking of getting the CrazyDevy replacement sword at all?
(I know I am :D)
It is a bit like a toothpick, but I'm more a fan of the individual Predacons than Predaking anyway, so I'll probably have the five of them separated out most of the time (when they're not called to act as Predaking in 'Right In The Lugnuts', of course. :p)Quote:

Lugimus's plane mode is sublime - the sort of thing that makes me want to fly him around the room making 'whoosh' and 'ratatat' noises. Plus, there has never been a Transformer with arms for wings as ingenious as this one - it's an absolute A+ vehicle mode. Colour-wise, I think I'll prefer the United version - the Japanese purple and green are silly enough that I can afford to not take the toy seriously. The Reveal The Shield one is so earnestly militaristic-looking that he's going to be hard to make fun of. And I like the logo-shaped rubsign - clipping the grey square sides was a nice touch.
And BotCon Weirdwolf is fun - he's a schizophrenic ventriloquist who calls his right hand 'Wolfie'. Which is even more amusing considering the mould's key-activated action feature is basically to make the wolf head talk. :)
hehe ahh i do enjoy the lugnut stories...... i would of gone for Nutimus Prime tho.....Quote:

Ahhhh Christmas sales...
picked up ROTF Banzaitron ($10 off) and the Bumblebee/Thrust 2-pack from Big W.
My 8-year-old son claimed the Brawl/Jolt 2-pack.
And my 6-year-old cleared out the local Red Dot store of ROTF Robot Heroes ($3 per pack!)
Predaking! but I think i'll leave it in its box for now.
Picked up the following in town tonight

It would be a good thing though if Hasbro would make original characters in purely Legends size - kinda like micromasters of G1.... ah well we have scouts now, and I guess for smaller ones they can just do minicons:DQuote:

I have 3 of the four, if I dont find Nightbeat I might replace him instead with whatever fits. An autobot recolor of the breakdown scout mold (they recoloured him into Oilpan , also a Decepticon:o)
Im also in the works for my decepticon scout side - Urban counter measures are Brimstone (though the mold lends as skeletal ninja agents/subordinates to Skeleton Samurai Bludgeon, just look at those shuriken looking front wheel weapons), Deadend, Breakdown . I was gonna add reverb to the group but it's one too many bikes in a group for my liking...I might use Oilpan instead. Im actually hoping that it's an all car patrol group for the decepticons.
however Im also working on a decepticon (purely) bikie group ( removing Brimstone from the Urban countermeasures team) since they do get recoloured more often now hehehe- if I could find em since I prefer not to hunt these figs down and just get em when I do encounter em. Tihis would prolly consist of Reverb, Brimstone's repaint and whatever recoulor character there will be or other bike molds if there's gonna be some more....
A picture tells a thousand words :cool:

Does that mean you found Banzaitron at a BigW?Quote:

(Besides, I never take note on any of the archives/info lists what independants get in, as they might be directly importing - which isn't a good indicator/guide for collectors here to start checkging local stores.)
