Say Rattrap, since you have the different versions of Optimus Prime, is there one you would recommend over the others? Just curious 'cause I know I won't buy them all, but I would like a Prime.Rattrap wrote:I purchased the first two waves of deluxe animated toys and the first three of voyager animated toys.
I haven't seen the Supreme Class Prime yet, but the Voyager Class is significantly better than the Deluxe. It comes with a little water squirter gimmick, a much better designed transformation, its very show accurate.
Voyager Class is definitely the best, and I would say that the battle begins Prime is better than the Deluxe.
Edit: Looking at pictures of the Roll-Out Command OP, I would definitely have to say that the Voyager Class still looks like the best.

Well I just had a quick charity shop search and lookie what I found:

all for about 2GBP. [I think the magnus cab is a KO, its got odd looking wheels and also lacks the clear plastic windows, Armarda sideways has no accessories, the two micromaster pats of devastator seem to be complete as do the two parts of the micromaster superion. I also had a legends barricade and the micrmaster flattop set (missing both laser canons and the micromaster)]

Wow! great finds for £2 Des!
(jealous!)
Also, I want one of those Ani Grimlocks... I passed off the Ani toy line, but I'm really into them now.
These aren't strictly new toy "purchases", so much as new toy gifts... Whilst I was at the hospital Tuesday, my Mam and Mrs S went to Toys R Us in secret (
), but in their defence, it was to get me something to cheer me up. (regardless of the fact that Mrs S found some Care Bears and My Little Ponies
). Mrs S told me they had 3 for 2 on all Transformers, including a decent selection of new Ani stuff, so they teamed up and got me the Megatron/Optimus battle begins boxset, Voyager Bulkhead and Starscream... £40 for all of them!



I have to say, I like all of them. I much prefer this version of OP with his face guard (much better than that chinny version with the face) and I LOVE Bulkhead - definitely a new favourite amongst my TFs (I need the leader class version too now, lol). Starscream is cool, especially the way he transforms, though he is a little spindly for my tastes. Good TF, I just don't think he's very Starscream though IMO... overall a good TF though.
If I had spare money, I could so drop plenty of it on this new line of TFs. I'm much more impressed than I expected now I've got my hands on some.

[BTW I've pre ordered the leader megs from the ani line a while back with play.com. shame he's not out till the end of august.

Won this one on ebay

The Ani Voyager Optimus is probably one of the better figures I've gotten from the Animated line so far. My only complaints are that his Spinning Transformation is little different. His axe is just plain dumb. But these are just personal opinions not problems with the figure. Prowl has absolutely nothing wrong with him....Great transformation and his weapons are just cool.

I made the wrong move and went to Toys r us cos they have a buy 2 get 1 free on TFs right now and I asked the girl if they had Animated toys. She went to point at them and was like "oh, none left. Hang on."
5minutes later she came back with 3 boxes. 1 of deluxe wave 1, 1 Voyager wave 1 and a box of the double pack. I am holding off for the Voyager earthmode Prime. so here's what I got, oh and 1 none TF toy too that I had wanted



and last but not least!!

Oh so only slagging TRU has them. {All I can get to is a tesco and a woolworths, the nearest TRU to me is at least fifty miles away, maybe more.}
No more Tf's to report today except I did pick up a Pc game.

I came home from work today to find a package on the doorstep, when I opened it, it was two transformers in their boxes, one looks like a turtle from hell and says " Seacon Leader Snaptrap " and the other one is a car with a little driver and says " Headmaster Chromedome ". So I phoned Derrick to be met with
and him having found them at a charity shop in North Wales and he has POSTED them home

An excellent find Rodimus, now I know where to go if I want them.
2 excellent finds from a charity shop. Snaptrap has a very interesting profile, its in the profile thread somewhere.

Had to run to the store to pick up a few things so I thought I would stop at Wal-mart on the way home. Glad I did....Got this guy...



Grimlock is now my new Favorite figure. I couldn't find anything wrong with him. Didn't seem to have the problems with the legs like I've heard others have had. Can't wait for the next wave of figures to start showing up.
