G1 Trypticon! Fully functional! Very clean terminals! Not complete....but working diligently towards completing him as we speak. He has a lot of his major components already and for the price I got him for....I can't complain one bit.
Thanks! Just picked up the battery operated lighted laser cannon (works!) a must have accessory along with the lower (gray) bottom ramp. I have this feeling that Full Tilts gun is going to be hell to find, though.

I got mine from wheeljack's lab. try him out. he might have another.
I still need most of everything else to complete my Trypticon.
I'm down to needing just the left connector piece and Full Tilts gun. I see plenty of left/right connector sets on Ebay but as of now I'm patiently awaiting for just the left one to appear at a reasonable price.

Well that was due to most of them having "non-Earthen based alt. modes" and the mostly uniform "pastel color schemes." But now that I've ventured off into Season 3 I'm glad I did. Some really cool toys are in that line.
I grabbed Transformers Animated Black Arachnia (She is my favorite character from Beast Wars and Animated). I also grabbed these guys here... Heroes of Cybertron Megatron, Optimus, Rodimus, Thundercracker and Ultra Magnus. ( I had a bunch of these guys when they first came out back in 2001 but sold them. Something I regret to this day, and now they are either hard to find or expensive as hell. I would love to get more of these guys at a reasonable price but doubt that is gonna happen.) With that being said everyone knows I like to take my stuff out of package but not these, for some reason I want to keep them as is.

Sweet! Nice haul! I've often considered collecting those (HOC) loose to display around my monitor. Just haven't gotten around to it....The only one I have is Shockwave and he's floating around here somewhere (loose). Just have no clue where he is at the moment.
Yeah. I want both of those badly but if I had to leave the store with just 1 it'd be Kup. Love him in both modes! Scourges alt mode reminds me of a three sided throwing star..I could see a ninja walking around with a lot of those on his belt. In essence making him a Targetmaster I guess....lmao.
The first one I grabbed was Kup.. Then a fellow associate who was not working that day let me know Scourge was there too.. I picked him up later on a break.
Oh, and MP09 shipped out today. I can't wait to get it.

How much were they when they came out? On ebay they only cost like $10-$15 total after shipping.
It's spring break for me, and I got to pick up the latest two animated TRU exclusives: Ironhide and Rodimus Minor, the only two toys from Team Athenia.
Vehicle Mode
Robot Mode
Ironhide: A redeco of Cybertron Mode Ratchet with a new head. The highlight is definitely his smug smirk. Otherwise, he's a little bit awkward, but solid overall, just like Cybertron Mode Ratchet.
Rodimus Minor: He looks spindly to me, but he's pretty solid. His spoiler is a little annoying in robot mode, and his bow is hard to attach in vehicle mode, but otherwise a very good toy.
