Just picked this up from my local Target

"Side Arm Sideswipe". Theres a world of difference from the previous red sideswipe mold, this mold stands solid as a rock. Awesome retooling on this guy!

He does look good! Nice purchase, NUCKATRON!

Very nice! If I would have bought him instead of the other Sideswipe, maybe I would have decided to keep him!

I got RTS Jazz and Tracks today. However I have come to find that I do not like the rub signs they are using these days. They definitely aren’t like the ones from the 80s. They seem to either come off pretty easily or don’t rub very well. I rubbed the hell out of them and barely got a glimpse of an Autobot symbol. Needless to say I have quite a bit of faction stickers from Reprolabels and so you can see I got rid of their rub signs and replaced them with the old faithful ones. If you look beside Tracks I even gave Hot Rod something special.

Excellent grabs my friend!

They're both awesome figures. I like the Autobot Elite Guard symbol on Hot Rod too!

You can get rubsigns from Reprolabels also. These might work a little better:

Thanks bud! I like reprolabels but damn that took a long time to get here last time. When I got the sticker sheets I was more than satisfied. I love the various faction symbols they provided me with. I do plan to order more.

G1 Scorponok! My first ever Headmaster and I had a blast transforming him!

Most of the parts are here and the ones that aren't will be on their way shortly. I'm quite pleased with the condition. Locking gears are in great shape and there seems to be no issues with the Scorpion legs functioning as they are supposed to. Got this off Crave.com. If you haven't been there check it out. Some great deals are there to be had.

Nice buy man.

I been checking out crave.com myself and there looks to be some good deals to be had. Congrats dude. Im jealous.

Scorponok is definatly worth the price. He's one of my favorite G1's

Dai Atlas · Post by **Dai Atlas** » Sun Feb 27, 2011 11:34 pm

Scorpy looks awesome and so clean Roadbuster. Very very nice haul bud, so when does the Fortress Maximus arrive?

Countdown · Post by **Countdown** » Sun Feb 27, 2011 11:46 pm

Scorponok looks great! He's definitely on my list.

Dirge · Post by **Dirge** » Mon Feb 28, 2011 8:13 am

aside from a slight mistransformation in base mode he looks good

Just be prepared to tack on an extra 10% to the sales price when you go to checkout. The buyers cover the costs of the site unlike Ebay where the sellers do it. The Scorponok seller had to lower the price considerably in order for me to buy it...due to those fees.

Galvatron wrote:Scorponok is definatly worth the price. He's one of my favorite G1's

I'm growing quite attached to him myself.

A lot of G1's I buy for the sake of completing the line... transform them a few times and they sit on a shelf. Scorponok I can see myself using in dioramas or even skits (when I find time to do them) involving other casts of Decepticons.

So the play value on him is way up there.

Thanks bud. Fortress Maximus arrives after I have bought damn near EVERYTHING else. I have a long ways to go before I start shopping for a Fort Max.

Countdown wrote:Scorponok looks great! He's definitely on my list.

Thanks! I was a bit reluctant to break into the Headmasters line considering Fort Max is part of that lineup. But after Scorponok arrived, I'm glad I done so. Look forward to getting more throughout the year.

Mistransformation!? Where? *looks again* Aside from my laziness to remove the gun guard I don't see anything.

Also those 2 double barrelled guns don't go there on the legs in base mode...that's where I'm missing 4 out the 5 parts I need.

But fear not! All are spoken for except the elevator platform which I seem to be having a hard time finding.

Here is my haul for today: G1 Hot Rod (100% complete/metal toes), G1 Wreck Gar (100% complete).
