I want one too. All the ones I've found have been at bit too pricey though. :(

Some of my new TFs - Grimlock and Sludge arrived today. I also found a headmaster-less Snapdragon in a local charity shop for £0.10 at lunch today!! :shock: 8) . Just have to find his weapons and headmaster, and the main robot is in amazing condition;

Notice there's no picture of Sludge in robot mode - his left leg snapped clean off when trying to transform him, and I've checked round the joint and seen a few glue seams where it snapped :evil: I'm contacting the seller for a partial refund, but I'm definitely keeping Grimlock. He's in very good condition and his joints are really tight. He's very, very 8)

Also, my 3 new mini-con teams arrived yesterday too;

G2 Grimlock, I actually liked the blue version of him. A few of my friends didn't like him.

As for Sludge, he is an Autobot, they all come apart in the presence of a Decepticon! :twisted:

Found those KO WST Gestalt sets at Family Dollar 2day 4 $5 each! Got Defensor and Superion! Gonna buy some custom decals from reprolabels.com and make'em into true WST Gestalts, although Hot Spot is red, but damnit Fire Trucks are Red or Yellowish-Green, not Blue, right...right, :cry: :P

new toys

Here are my newbies.

binatech grimlock ($16)[knock off, thanks for the info rampage.]

fort max ($60)
Image

primes trailer ($20)

The rest still has to be sorted before it can be photographed. These were easy to separate from them and photgraph in my kitchen. Not in my TF room like normal. [as my $20 bootsale find was a box of TF's that I have not yet sorted out.]

Is he a good quality KO though? Or crappy cheap plastic. As long as you like it, who cares if it's a KO?

Yeah, $16 for that KO doesn't sound too bad if it's decent quality.

speaking of the red hotspot. I foudn out that they released him in japan after the victory line recoloured red. So maybe its not all that bad. I'd have to see/handle a real alt/binal grimmy to know what differences the KO has. When i feel like removing it from its box i'll give you a report on its quality etc.

I've also got the plastic Grimlock, but I know 100% he's a Hasbro alternator, as I bought him in a Orlando Toys R Us in 2005 along with Windcharger and Swindle too. :D

I'll post some clear lose up pics of him for you Deszaras when I get chance so you can compare the two

EDIT:
Two OK pics - I've cropped some existing ones. I'll get some close pics later;

Speaking of Dollar store junk, I got this mini-Brimstone for a buck.

Image

They also had a crappy little Scourge, and a lion looking guy. Blatant rip-offs. They're called Morphobots. There's a guy selling them on the auction site for $3! Imagine that.
