Transformers Thread

I have the ’86 animated and ’07 live action, plus all three seasons of G1 as well as the Japanese Headmasters series.

@zerowinger66  
Neat. I didn’t know we were adding TV shows on this list. In that case, Beast Wars, Animated, and Prime are on my wish list as well.

Only have the 86 movie, Bayformers 1 and 2, and Bumblebee. Admittedly i’ll probably pick up 3-5 for collection’s sake
 
In regards to TV dhows, I only have Beast Wars and Animated

@Prowl  
That’s a pretty good collection.

I have got a Wave 1 Beast Wars Polar Claw. Lacks his partner accessory (and by extension, a bear foreleg), the biting gimmick is busted and overall, looks so bad, I initially took the toy for a counterfeit.

@Edhelistar  
That sucks that the quality of that figure was so subpar.

@mjangelvortex  
The design and engineering quality, yeah, those are quite subpar. The plastic is good quality, though.

@Edhelistar  
That’s good that it has good plastic at least. Some of the figurines have such bad quality plastic that they would start chipping easily.

@mjangelvortex  
Polar Claw was quickly overshadowed, because at that very same day, just at the shelf immediately below, there was the Generations Thrilling 30 Voyager-class, Triple Changer, Springer.

@Edhelistar  
I hear that one’s got some problems though they were fixed when it became Sandstorm.  
Hopefully the new Springer will be amazing.

@Darth Prime  
Minor issues in holding his accessories, which do not affect me because I got him without them.
 
And the issues in lateral panel alignment are quite minor too, and do not affect the Batmobile-look of the car mode.

So… At some point at the fanfic I’m (supposedly) writing, I’ll have the surviving Decepticons from The Last Knight face an opponent that ridiculously outclasses them, and they’ll be wiped out. Should I let them have some dignity and go down fighting, or exterminate them like roaches during fumigation?

@Edhelistar  
I think you could do a little of both. Have some of the weaker ones go down easily while have the others put up more of a fight.

@Darth Prime  
Is the new upcoming Siege Springer a triple changer? I’m thinking of picking him up because his robot mode is dead-on for his G1 animated look.

@zerowinger66  
Yes.

@Darth Prime  
Then that’s a definite buy for me then. Though I think I need to do some major realignments with my collection.

@mjangelvortex  
So, give the named ones one last blaze of glory and exterminate a bunch of nameless, faceless ones?

I still need to pick up some of the Siege figures.

@Terton  
I got Shockwave he’s pretty good haven’t transformed him though that’s a nitpick for current TFs I miss when they were packaged in alt-mode being packaged in bot mode doesn’t make me want to transform them.

@Edhelistar  
Yeah, pretty much.

Hear me out here, We have Glyph show up in a TF series, eventually we reveal she’s working for the decepticons, then come the last episodes we reveal she’s actually a gender bent beast wars megatron when she deposes megs and becomes the new Emperess of Destruction after uploading herself into a newer better body,

@Thanotos Omega  
That sounds IDW-Shockwave-has-the-fault-for-everything levels of convoluted. Or IDW Arcee back-story convoluted… Or just 2005 IDW in general….

@Edhelistar  
To be clear here i mean she has his characterization and mannerisms, not like she’s a alternate female version of him or something, like she’s legit this universe’s Glyph, but she reveals BW Meg’s personality and talents, and after becoming Gigatron his God complex,

Sniff. Sniff….
 
I smell fanfiction…
