Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Definitely seems like both, but it could be a loose Nemesis Prime. I'd ask.

yea i just fired off an email to them. best be safe the sorry =]

No I think if it's a loose item it should be in the description. RK are pretty informative of the state of their sale items. It looks to be both misb to me. Ask though, just to be sure.

[Krayt]

It is both.... the Trailer alone is 90ish.... NP is 35.... You save 10 by getting both

Was Thundercracker from the first movie line ever released here?

I'm just curious since I never saw him. Also, was the G1 Movie Starscream repaint released here?

[jaydisc]

Yes, Thundercracker and Rescue Ratchet were a late Voyager assortment, still floating around for $59.95 at Myers around these parts.

G1 Starscream was also released along with G1 Jazz, both for $49.99 as TRU exclusives.

Hey I haven't been able to locate a thread with some info on the new blu-ray digitally remastered edition of the 1986 animated movie - does anyone know if it's worth the buy?

Has the sound and visual quality drastically improved? Anyone know?

[Gutsman Heavy]

It will look and sound better, but I doubt it'll be a drastic improvement.

[canofwhoopass_87]

Blu ray movies are seriously awesome on a great entertainment system, was hoping they "remastered" the 86 classic enough to justify the $35 purchase. But I suppose it is wishful thinking for a "drastic" improvement - it's 22 years old

[Gutsman Heavy]

I love Blu-ray as well (even if HD DVD was better /whine)

The 86 BD isn't a new remaster sadly, its just a high res dump of the 20th DVD master, so It will look better, but not as good as it could have been.

How are "points of articulation" determined? Is this just the number of transformable joints/limbs/parts ? I think I read somewhere that G1 Rodimus Prime has only 2 points of articulation, does this mean one point for each of his arms?
