requesting CHUG Wheeljack help

i have recently acquired a secondhand CHUG Wheeljack. Amusingly (at least to me), he is missing almost exactly the same parts as my old secondhand G1 Wheeljack: G1 missing weapons/accessories missing wings missing side panels missing right forearm CHUG missing weapons/accessories missing left wing/s...

SideTracks

According to TFWiki.net, Alternators Sideswipe's design was originally intended for Tracks.

G1 Tracks turns into a Chevy Corvette.

ROTF Sideswipe turns into a Chevy Corvette.

Huh.

Alternators retcon idea

Alternators Swerve should have been called Road Rage, and Alternators Rollbar should have been called Swerve (or maybe Leyland/G2 Swindle).

Let's Pretend

When professional actors do this, they call it improvisational acting , or improv . When adults who are not professional actors do it, it's called LARP or LARPing (Live-Action Role-Playing). When children do it, it's called make believe or let's pretend . When you make believe you're someone like a ...

Re: Roleplay Character Roster (all factions)

Once again, i know TF Tech Specs just had the one rating for Endurance, but i propose three: DUR: Durability: the character's ability to take a hit without taking damage END: Endurance: the character's ability to remain online and active after taking damage STM: Stamina: the undamaged character's ab...

Re: G1 series to possibly continue after Headmasters episode

Well, TF comics have Regeneration One--why can't the G1 cartoon have something like that? But the article as quoted by SentinelPrime sounds to me more like somebody's wishful thinking than a report or even rumor of anything actually under consideration. But as Crosshairs said, "i have been wron...

Re: Who's Your Favourate Decepticon Cassette?

Do Shattered Glass characters count? For favorite Decepticon cassette character, i'm thinking SG Ravage or SG Slugfest. If SG characters are ineligible... Glit, i think. Or maybe cartoon Rumble/Frenzy (personality-wise, the two seemed nigh identical from what i can recall, Rumble just got more scree...

Re: Toy fair 2014 a Transformers Pictures

Thanks for the pics, SentinelPrime! Notice the Shattered Glass Decepticon red insignia on the Age of Extinction T-shirt. Evasion Optimus is interesting... Not my favorite depiction of G1 Optimus, but good to see movie Optimus getting his GEEWUN on. i, too, wonder how this form will come into play. S...

Re: TT's Hot Topic #1: Transformers 50th

Lets just stop Mr. Bay from any more movies. :) Um, he's already making another movie. Jokes aside, while i'm not the biggest fan of the live-action movie continuity, a part of me subscribes to the notion that "There's no such thing as bad publicity." (Another part of me violently disagre...

Re: Masterpiece Bumblebee and...?

There's a difference between wanting Cliffjumper to be a redeco of Bumlebee and recognizing the trend. i'm as annoyed as you are that these two rather different looking characters wind up getting such similar look...

How about YELLOWJACKET ? What about Rook, huh? Windrooker? Rookcharger? Roger? I think I'll go with Roger. He's like Rook, but without a keychain loop on his bumper. You can repurpose him as Shattered Future Universe Transtech Windrooker ;) TWO capital T's in TransTech, time traveller. ;-) If you do...

Re:

I've seen too much VW Beetle in scale, so with this one, I would ask for a Bumblejumper instead. Takara-Tomy make Mazda with their Tomica series, so why not an old 323/Familia? "instead"? Why not "in addition"? ;-) Jokes aside, Bumper just doesn't have the fanbase, screen time, ...

Hasbro/TakaraTomy got permission from Lamborghini to make Masterpiece Sideswipe and his redecos/retools. Do you want and/or expect HasTak to make a Masterpiece Sunstreaker that isn't just a redeco (which would look too much like Tigertrack )? Do you want and/or expect HasTak to make a Masterpiece Br...
