The Random Transformers Thoughts Thread

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Galvatron has a Jet mode, and Hasbros is reminiscent of Energon Galvatron. What if it is a dual homage (or 3 homages if you make him Marvel galvatron because of the Megatron Headmaster)

Marvel Galvatron was a Headmaster? Could someone explain this reference to me please?

Nope. Still don't get it.

Some kids are just different to you Gok. I too don't understand what joy they from smashing stuff up, but there ya go. I played vigorously with my toys as a kid, my Optimus has broken smokestacks and a broken front bumper from smashing through too many Decepticon barricades in the 80s. Maybe that kid was in a bad mood and doesn't know how to express (him?)self well enough. Maybe he took it off another kid and is a bully and wants to break it coz he's a bully. I'm sure there is some reason for it that the kid understands.

I had an awesome idea - you know those Incredible Cross Sections books?
There should totally be a Transformers version.

I really struggle to enjoy those books, I often find words used to describe something are either painfully obvious, like 'cockpit window' or just not right. technobabble is technobabble but good technobabble is based on solid scientific theory and logical extrapolation. I have a couple star wars ones and I've never spent much time with them.

i meant as Megatron and Galvatron existing as separate entities.

I never before realized what a butt-ugly alt mode Generations Drift has. It's horrible.

The original looks even worse, although it is a Cybertronian vehicle mode. HasTak obviously based the toy off the comic model but modified the alt mode to try and make it look more Earthen but at the same time identifiable as that weird looking box-sled wannabe-Batmobile... thing.

You'se guys must have your 'can't see cool stuff' glasses on

I don't personally think that Drift's vehicle mode looks bad, but my meaning was that if Trent thinks that it's ugly, the original Cybertronian mode is worse. There are a few things about the Drift mould that I'm not a huge fan of, but overall I do like the toy. I'll put it this way, although I think that the Drift mould doesn't work as well for Blurr, I'm happy enough with it that I'm intended to skip Titans Returns Blurr.

I was playing round with Classics Prime... He is great but he seems to short these days with the TR deluxes being taller and CW Voyagers dwarf him... Will we ever get a Prime just as good as Classics?


Edit: I saw an image of TR Fort Max with Titan Plex. Fort is shorter

On Facebook I was remembered that Optimus once said boobies

I'm thinking of making a trailer for classics Prime and people say get Styrene but where the hell would i got and is it like plastic or what?
