Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Enough with the (creative) Drift hate. It doesn't respond to the query here, so is off-topic.

Also I think it makes us sound like a bunch of whingy fan boys which might make potential members hesitant about joining.

I'd think of Drift as an '85 Autobot car, a "reinforcement from Cybertron". I think he fits better with Smokescreen, Inferno, & Red Alert than with the originals or the movie cast.

this i would agree with, second series autobot and i imagine if he was released in 85 he would be a repaint of an existing mould.. say wheeljack

So do I actually... I've been meaning to make a satirical photocomic that reveals Drift as originally being Downshift! Then I procrastinated heaps and IDW have since revealed that he was a Decepticon called Deadlock. I'll still make that photocomic though... just gotta get around to it.

Yes, but the copyright lawyers couldn't get that name.

(Like the toy called Darkmount that looks more like Straxus to most of us, and the soon to be released Gold Bumblebee who looks more like Goldbug and dozens of more examples over the past few years)

See that's what happens when Hasbro dfocuses too much on just a few characters and totally disregards all their myriad others....

what would shipping generally cost for unicron from overseas source?

When I got my MIB Armada Unicron from the States, about 3 or so years ago, it cost me $65USD purely due to the size of the box and his weight - which is actually quite heavy, more than you'd expect it to be anyway.

I'm not sure what current day prices are like, but I'd imagine they'd be around a similar point.

Hope that helps Sharky.

When I bought one from RK, they charged US$37 for shipping.
