New toy purchases

[Countdown]

@ Shrapnel: neat finds. You got everybody's favorite Wheelie!

@ Sideways: nice seekers. How do they look transformed?

@ Snarlock: If ya can get a camera to work long enough without a certain someone accidently breaking it , can ya take a picture of it? The seeker has got me interested.

Knock-Off Haul


Brave Series: Combiner trucks - Optimus Prime?, Ultra Magnus?, Landfill?, & Autobot Mixmaster? (Don't know much about this series, but it looked like a neat set of combiners. Pretty sturdy, with the exception of the feet. Not sure of the names, but I read somewhere that those were the names. Oh, and all of the vehicle/robot modes are pretty much identical except for there gimmick weapons/accessories.)

Superion- Silverbolt, Skydive, Fireflight, Sureshot, & Air Raid. (Really crappy KO. Like usual the stickers barely make it out of the packaging. I broke 2 of them already, but since they are for display and not worth more than a handful of dollars -if that- I went ahead and superglued them.)

Defensor - Hot Spot, Blades, Streetwise, Groove, & First Aid. (Once again one of the cheapest quality KOs out there. But, good enough for display. The leg connector in combined mode doesn't fit very easily so I have his legs facing the wrong direction -like defensor-.)

Victory Saber - Victory Leo & Star Saber: Saber & Yukio. (Out of the entire haul of KOs this is certainly my favorite. For such simple transformations these guys are pretty neat. Relatively durable, but the arm joints seem to get a little loose after a while. Neat combination modes -jet shown- and a combined battle robot decked out with some kick@ss firepower. Individually, you have a red jet -micromaster size, a lion, and an odd white jet missing his chest -unless you insert the red jet and make him whole.)

+ 2 odd transformers... Acidstorm? & who knows? (very odd and simple tf wannabees. Joints suck and the arms pop off, but they do pop right back on. I have no clue who they are. They also seem to come with some oversized weaponry.)

wow nice finds all..... I want universe cyclonus too

[Galvatron]

Hey Sideways...
Can you post a more lit picture of your cyclonus?

I want to get a better look at that guy

thanx

[Ramjet]

Rachet-that Acid Storm looks to be a Cyberjet mold, possibly. Try here:

Try this site for the Brave stuff if you haven't already-it's down A LOT though.

Here's my crap. Got the OP vs Megs for $15, Sideways for $6. The goofy looking guy is a McDonalds Tankor, and my Legends Brawn and Beachcomber came in from Hasblow. Cool GoBot watch is cool!

Thanks Ramjet,

Good site on the Brave series. I bookmarked it so I can go over it.

And, those other molds are extremely similar. They must have based it off of one or two of those and made minor modifications. Wish mine came with missile launchers instead of a ball and chain that is too heavy for the figure and a trident that is taller than the robot mode.

[Grimlock]

It does not look like the picture, he transforms the same as the G1.

I can not take a pic because

HE KILLED THE NEW CAMERA

[Countdown]

Think you two should invest in extended service plans.

[Ramjet]

There's an insurance policy I wouldn't write!

[Sideways]

Just picked up Universe Hound today before work, last one.

[Dirge]

and i suppose that it is my fault that it ended up covered in hydraulic oil ..................

...and my Legends Brawn and Beachcomber came in from Hasblow.

Ramjet, what's the verdict on the new Legends?

[Ramjet]

I'm a huge fan of all the Legends, except the seekers with the big left arms. A lot of repaints, but the Ani OP, Megs, Hound, Jazz, and Beachcomber are awesome. The problems I had were Hound's tires are in the way of his arms a little, and Jazz needed a number "4" on him.

2) 80's Diecast Lion Voltron Combiner (I'm NOT a big Voltron fan, but I thought this combiner was pretty cool looking!)

Oh you lucky dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is a Voltron Master Motorized Force made by LJN

good eye, Roar. Any Voltron stuff by LJN is tough to come by.

[SentinelPrime]

Great fans everyone!

[Cliffjumper]

I got Legends Jazz Hound and Meagatron today YAY they are pretty darn cool

[Deszaras]

With thanks to cat I got these guys

[Ramjet]

Ohhh....shiny! They look cool in a group like that.

[Sideways]

Great fans everyone!

Yes, we are great fans! Thanks for noticing!

[captainamerica]

I picked these up within the last month(my wife gave me Megs):

(I added some paint to Streaker, prowl, and streak.)

...and these within the last week; except for Grimlock, which I've had for over a year but waited until I had Overkill in hand. Yep, I'm a sucker for redeco robots:


Of course, I finally find Fracture at retail, so my gobot Crasher has gone missing

[SentinelPrime]

Great CaptainAmerica!


Well this figure finally arrived today. I must say I'm pretty disappointed with the poor construction and quality of it. It's really NOT worth the $54.00 bucks I paid for it either! Right out of the box as I was trying to transform him to robot mode the right arm section snapped right off! Suppose I could try and super glue it, or better yet send it back for either a refund or a replacement and NOT take it out of the box!

It's the TFC-002 Barrel Roller figure. It's a bigger version of Optimus Prime's Roller. First of all I thought it would be alot bigger and much more sturdier. I'm greatly disappointed!

It comes with two extra pairs of hands, two rifles, two blue swords, a Bio card, and a short black and white mini comic book to introduce him. It looks like it talks about Orion Pax and his buddy Dion, who may be the one who is converted into Roller.

Here's the pics:
