I own 2 version of the green chap, the deluxe I never opened, the human alliance one though I quite like. The Ice cream van set is great. Andy DONT OPEN DELUXE SKIDS. He is seriously horrendous. Mudflap is WORSE due to his horribly pointless and fragile chest. But easily one of the worst TFers ever. Pointlessly complex for a kid's toy and so so so ugly

Well thankfully from my point of view, there's more chance of me growning horns, painting my bottom blue and becomming the King of Sardinia that there is of me ever ever ever buying any version of movie Skids or Mudflap.

I really like it. Honestly I haven't done much more than transform it once or twice and it was months ago so I can't remember it clearly, but it does have the bonus of a fun little arcee bike too which I also really liked.
I might have to go and dig it out.

I found something in Poundstretchers today that I didn't even know existed: a Target Exclusive ROTF Robot Heroes board game. It came with Optimus and Megatron. At £9.99 I thought it was a bit expensive for a Poundstretchers grey market import, but grabbed it while I could.

Well done for the tat find. I knew it existed but never sighted it over here.

Speaking of tat, today I picked up the ROTF Megatron yo-yo from Poundland. (They also had the power balls and obviously the Optimus yo-yo but I already had those.) I also picked up four Scouts from Asda thanks to their two-for-£8 offer and, best of all, a Get Along Gang 5" Zipper Cat figure complete with his jacket.

I'd like to see a pic of the Robot Masters board game. It sounds lush as we say in Brissle.

The Hub's own lovable rogue Nick was nice enough to post me Animated Wreck-Gar and Skywarp. Very nice they are too! Thanks Nick!

Another junk MP Skywarp (my second this year). 3 out of 6 ROTF constructicons. How does someone spend between £50-100 and less than a year later sell only half the set to the dealer I bought them from. I got LongHaul, Mixmaster and Scavenger soI can build a fairly good looking Devastator by pulling down the kibble on Scavengers shoulders to make fake arms.
Anyway the above only cost £5. Missed out on a £1.50 MP Prime though:(
Does anyone know why Mixmasters front end detaches?

You seem to be getting a lot of TFs lately, Ian! Did you get divorced and not tell us??

SDCC Blaster in the post. Here. Jonathan liked looking in the window box at him. So we got him out for Jonathan to ply with. Daddy asked to have Blaster back and Jonathan *SAID* "mine!"

A wee TRU trip netted Wreck-Gar and Shockwave, while my parents kindly gave me PCC Huffer as a birthday present. Still to open them up though!

Bought Generations Cybertronian Optimus Prime from Asda yesterday evening. Not amazing, to be honest. Robot mode feel a lot more flimsy that he looks when on the blister card, and the transform sequence is more complicated than Cybertronian Bumblebee's, only with better plastic tolerances. Vehicle mode looks like Kup crossed with the TransTech Optimus 'munkytrukk' concept design, but otherwise not too inspiring. Robot mode looks excellent though, a cross between the G.I. Joe Hiss tank Optimus, and, err, some other Optimus Primes.

Distribution on them seems extremely patchy. I've yet to see them outside of a convention or comic shop and I'm in the Scottish capital!
