Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Is there'd a word? It doesn't look right

In Australia, yes =oP It's our tradition to lazily abbreviate spoken words, and no one, I repeat, NO ONE can ever take that away from us! The ultimate example being our stereotypical catch phrase; G'day =oP

Yeh but if something goes wrong, paypals buyer protection is limited for purchases outside of the hellgates of ebay. i.e there's a chance you won't get your money back if the seller pulls a macdodgy.

Credit cards offer this basic protection, and thus, any credit-card-funded PayPal transactions are also covered by your credit card company. Ask your issuer for information on their Transaction Dispute process.

Could someone please provide a link to the differences between the two MP Grimlocks? Not having a search option is giving me the s**ts...

Basically the latter is repainted with US G1 comic colours and has a crown instead of the tray and helmet thingy.

Woah...definately prefer the original colors...awesome...I know which one to buy now (if ever I give into temptation...which I know I will soon...)

Thanks for that info!

Are Perceptor and Insecticons re-issues of the G1 mold (like Takara Encore) or are they brand new Universe molds (with articulation, etc)?

Reissues. Strange thing is for an US release, the missile on Perceptor haven't been changed to massive long ones to suit new toy requirements, like the ones on Pinkimus, and you have to put the labels on the Insecticons, but Perceptor has all his labels put on in the factory.

Also the instructions are crap as per most recent TF releases. I used Botch's online instruction site to look up the original instructions for all four of them.
