i actually picked up that two pack (bumblebee and cliffjumper) for a mate for his 21st, and i can say that they were takara stamped, just like my original one. not sure if theyre actually KO's as such, but they seemed legit as far as i was concerned

From what issue in the Transformers Animated comic do they stop copyinh the cartoon? I'm interested in getting them but I don't want to get those ones yet.

[roller]

i only have 2 issues from 'The arrival' Its not exactly like the show, in the comic you see the points of view from most of the characters on the first ep.

the second issue doesn't seem to be a copy of an episode


The only Animated comic i have that is a direct copy of an ep is the 2008 Free comic book day comic

You do know they're Minibot keyrings without the keychain, right?

[GoktimusPrime]

The lack of stickers is odd. The G1 keychain reissues all had factory pre-applied stickers. So either someone's gone and peeled them off, or they might be fakes. I dunno, but it's strange. And yeah... why are the keychains themselves missing?

Hey has anyone here purchased any tf goods from http://www.figuresdirect.com.au before? Is it a reliable, trustworthy source? Do they package well?

Also, I was wondering if anyone here had trouble shipping in boxed original g1 megatrons (or any of the reissues)? I got one recently within country but remember talking to someone about their g1 takara reissue book megs being eaten by customs?

Since you are already aware of it being illegal to own, import or even discuss getting Megatron (any replica weapon) in your state (Tiby has spoken to you twice about it in the last week), there is a good chance these days for people in Victoria and any other state that has the same restriction, to have their toy confiscated. If you are caught doing it on multiple occasions, Customs could refer you to the Federal Police or Victoria Police for prosecution.

And those people in the states that don't have the restrictions, any comments they make on this topic, will not be applicable to you anyway.

So, for the third time, please refrain from bringing to this board the illegal matter (for you, who is in Victoria) of replica weapons - that includes the sale of, ownership of, and discussing of how others obtained one in the hope of finding out how best to get one through customs for yourself.

I would love to be able to have people here talking about Megatron freely and aquiring it legally, but this is something that I can't risk having here, for our sake and yours.

I am sorry if these questions have been asked and answered before but I haven't been able to find the answers

1) Has there been any official confirmation that the Universe/Classics line will return after the Movie line is finished? I've read in a recent Hasbro Q&A that universe Red Alert won't be released

2) Is there a list of all the unlicensed add ons/upgrades/extras that have been produced for Transformers? i.e. Enargon Cubes, City Commander, etc

3) Is Animated cartoon/line any good?

4) Is the Armada/Universe Unicron figure any good? Is it worth buying?

I did have more questions before I came here but I cant remember them now

[Paulbot]

Don't know the answer to 1, and for 2, well there may be lists out there but a lot of the unofficial stuff isn't really covered here.

The quick answer to both 3 and 4 is yes, but those are very subjective questions and others would say no.

The Animated comments thread gives you an idea of what people think of the toys. And there's several threads with comments on the cartoon episodes.

Unicron has it's flaws, it's not very round for a planet and there's some shellformer stuff going on, but in my opinion it's a great representation of Unicron and one of the must have characters.
