My Xmas acquisitions were light on TF related items but were appreciated for the awesomeness they were:

Madman G1 Transformers: Headmasters Complete Boxset - Courtesy of Brotherbot 1.0
Transformers Reveal The Shield: Windcharger - Parentalcons

(Wow, the lighting is horrible today, here in Dapto )

Whilst having to read the subtitles for the Headmasters series, which I completely don't mind because I refuse to listen to the ridiculously sub-par English dub, it has the unfortunate effect of causing one to miss a bit of the on-screen action - I'm still confused by one episode having 'Double Optimus Prime' when it was clearly Optimus and Rodimus.

RTS Windcharger is an absolutely awesome figure, for a Scout Class toy I'd highly recommend picking him up because I've enjoyed him even more than ROTF Skystalker, my previous favourite.

I'm still confused by one episode having 'Double Optimus Prime' when it was clearly Optimus and Rodimus.

Gah... sounds like a bad translation, and here's how it would've happened.
+ G1 Optimus Prime is called "Convoy" in Japan;
+ G1 Rodimus Prime is called "Rodimus Convoy";
+ Episode 3 of The Headmasters is called 夢のダブルコンボイ誕生 (yume no daburu konboi no tanjou), which means "Birth of the Dream Double Convoys" - 'Double Convoy' referring to Convoy and Rodimus Convoy.
+ Whoever translated this episode title for Madman didn't pick up on this and instead hastily translated Convoy as "Optimus Prime."
...thus the confusion.

I was watching my Headmasters eps just last week... it's just so infinitely better than Rebirth IMO!

Picked up my partner Gold Bumblebee/Goldbug Legends figure from Toys R Us Northland last Thursday. Nice find, I think.

Braved the crowds at Westfield Marion this morning and picked up Skullgrin at Big W.

The Madman DVDs give you the option of choosing a subtitle track that features western Transformers names as opposed to Japanese names, So even though the characters are Saying "Convoy" in the Japanese dub the subtitles will read "Optimus Prime".
