Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Marketing push for the Movies I'd imagine. If all your new Convoys are now Optimus Primes, like the one that appears in the film, more mainstream fans will recognise the name. It broadens the potential audience for the toys.

I'd say that's pretty damn spot on, in my opinion.

Are signatures supposed to be seen when logged in? I never knew they even existed until I got logged out once. I can only see them when logged out.

Is this supposed to happen.

I can see both logged in & out.

And here was me thinking how nice it was that no one here has the huge image filled signatures that are plastered all over TFW. I think I'll just leave them turned off rather than risk having my illusions shattered.

I didn't even know about that...

We'll still have size restrictions on signatures (some are getting a bit big these days), but this is something for people who don't like seeing the same ones over and over again.

Thanks for that! GoktimusPrime's sig always freezed my gmail for some reason the past few months, until I would scroll on the page they posted. Now it doesn't :P

Hey guys, I didn't really just want to make a thread for this but I was wondering what people thought of the Beast Wars Scorponok figure? I've never actually handled one in real life and I'm undecided after looking at pictures/videos on the webbernets. Also, I read one review in which the figure broke in multiple spots (specifically the tail and the bee claw) but haven't really been able to figure out if that is a common problem or not.

[GoktimusPrime]

I think it's a great toy; but the bee claw part can be broken. I've never had a problem w/ a tail though. In terms of the claw breakage, it means that the cyberbee cannot be launched, but it can still hold the be in place and the bee can still be removed by hand. So it's not as bad as some other kinds of toy breakages which has a more detrimental effect on the toy.

I'd strongly recommend looking at someone else's Scorponok before making a decision, but it's a pretty good toy.

The only consistent issue that I've seen with the original BW Scorponok figure is that the 'ball & socket' joints that comprise his Robot mode's hip assembly can get very loose, very quickly if they're played with too regularly.
This literally causes the figure to be unable to support its own weight (Due to the heavy tail & claws) and becomes quite a pain to statically display as it topples into a heap.

Other than that, and the occasional Bee/Spring Claw mechanism issue, it's absolutely brilliant.
