Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

[STL]

so do ML have tech spec cards?

Yeap. All the Japanese lines do. One of the reasons I'm trying to complete Galaxy Force is b/c of them.

The ML cards are really nice. The figures though aren't as desirable imo but if u want the premium version definitely get the Japenese stuff. Hasbro's only line that came w/ separate cards was Energon but they featured different art to the Superlink ones. Also the Energon scouts did not come w/ cards. however, you'll find that the Superlink ones did so that's a major point of difference.

Whoops... i started writing, and got carried away.... didn't remember you asked about a specific line :-P

U know u wanna keep going.

i have the Premium Movie MA21 Optimus

was $130 a good price?

Does the electronic sound it makes, when you push the chest button down, a different sound from the US version?

Is the blade colour movie accurate????

I dont like the head too much

I paid A$110.55 from F2F by ordering a pair with LCZ. The page Griffin sent you is for the Hasbro Premium version, not the Takara MA21 version, so I don't think that's an appropriate comparative price. Note that the packaging between the two is the same. The difference is, as per usual, chrome highlights.

The chest button sounds on Takara MA21 and Hasbro Premium version are the same, which is different to the original Hasbro Leader Prime. The Premium/MA21 sound is the traditional G1 cartoon transforming sound.

I would consider the shape and color of the blade to be movie accurate, although from a toy perspective, I find it to be a pain in the ass that gets in the way of transformation and makes emulating the movie difficult (retracting the hand to expose the blade)

Ah yes, sorry about that. I remembered seeing it when last browsing RK and mistakenly though it was the JP one. Just ignore me in future.

Just ignore me in future.

How do u know we already don't?

Lo crons

I wish to know the names of the Cybetron (?) moulds that were used in

"Theft of the Golden disc"

I think some of them were reused in the movie line? IF so

which ones? I might want to repaint them into "Theft" characters one day

Maximal Security Force
With the exception of Tigatron, none of the Maximal Security Force Maximals were based on toys, hence I'm referring to them as "hypothetical" repaints.

L-R:
+ Stopgap: hypothetical repaint of Clocker w/ head resembling Machine Wars Skywarp/Thundercracker.
+ Nitrostreak (Unit 1): hypothetical repaint of Clocker
+ Shatterpoint: hypothetical repaint of Clocker w/ Energon Shockblast-like head.
+ Getout: hypothetical repaint of Clocker w/ different head
+ Switchblade: hypothetical repaint of Clocker w/ different head (resembles Armada Cyclonus)
+ Overshoot: hypothetical repaint of Clocker w/ the same head as Stopgap.
+ 9K: hypothetical repaint of Clocker w/ different head
+ Tigatron (Unit 2): repaint of Clocker w/ different head (resembles Tigatron)
+ High Beam: hypothetical repaint of Clocker w/ different head (resembles G2 High Beam)
Not pictured: Cheetor - same mould as Tigatron, former cadet

Megatron: repaint of Cybertron Defence Red Alert with a new head.

Scorponok: Hypothetical repaint of Energon Scorponok with a new head.

Buzzbomb: Hypothetical repaint of Cybertron Buzzsaw
