Do you have the Energon set of Armada Starsream and Prowl. It was a repaint of Armada Red Alert.

Car Booty. £12!!! I didn't have Trailbreaker or Rumble either! They have all been really well looked after too, many of them are better than my originals. I haven't finished going through the weapons yet, but more of them seem to be there.
It seems someone got there before me too and got Thrust with Ramjet's Wings, hence my Hybrid.

Paul, I think the jet looks ok - white body and red wings is Ramjet - they're just upside down in that picture

Duh, I realised that as soon as I put it on the shelf next to my other Ramjet.

Universe Galvatron & Acid Storm en route. Found a seller who had the goods at under the customs limit. I'll probably flog Acid Storm on....

May have to bid on Acid Storm.

Picked up Energon Omega Supreme minus head and Energon Prime minus two combiner limbs for £6. I suspect much of Prime will be sacrificed to Hyperdrive in the next week or two.

I got Animated Grimlock. I'm probably going to keep him sealed until I acquire the other Dinobots.

What is the mould for Acid Storm like? The last time it was used (for Botcon) it seemed completely knackered!

Dunno. He staying firmly in package till he gets sold. But be prepared for a rant on the subject of Classics and Jets come Galvatron's review time.

Bitzwing. Hehe! What a fantastic toy. Was feeling a bit bummed when the Grimlock I saw yesterday had gone, but Blitzwing is amazing. The tank mode is maybe the most perfectly compacted form Ive ever seen. Im going to break one of the clips transforming it into jet though.

I noticed in Woolies today that they had Animated Ratchet and Blackarachnia (and Bumblebee) along with the wave 1 voyagers, so I nipped along to Argos and tried my luck there since they have a 25% off sale on. They only had 3 deluxes left so I asked for a viewing, only to be presented with Ratchet and... Snarl. Who still has wave 3's characters advertised on the back of his card. Have Argos gotten in 2 waves at the same time?

Ratchet is a nice wee figure. Well, I say wee- I made the mistake of standing him next to Lugnut and he now looks enormous while Lugnut looks even more of a smurf. Anyway, he's slightly taller than Prowl (and deluxe Prime) and comes with lots of fun add-ons including a big hammer and a tin opener. Also, his gut is hinged so you can change his waist measurement to suit. The only downside is his face sculpt, which just looks so sad. I know Reprolabels have already made a sticker set for him that adds a few details- I wonder if it comes with a more upbeat facial expression?

Ralph- this is true. However, in the show he just looks pissed off all the time. The toy looks like his dog just died.

Just got Universe Blaster, and I haven't been able to stop playing with him. He's simply gorgeous. Perfect colouring, and I've managed to pose him in a "Megatron talking to Laserbeak" stlye of balancing Blockrock on his arm. Never thought of doing that with Soundwave, but it just works so well.

Seems to have been shortpacked too, both TRUs I went to in Belfast only had one of them, with several Heavy Load, Inferno and yon Erector-looking guy.

But if you see Blaster, buy him. He fucking rocks.

And I thought I was the only person on-line looking for one! He will be mine!

Thanks to Phil, some new arrivals today. Quickmix now has his two targetmaster pals and is shooting up the living room. Quake turned up with one of his two TM pals. Quake is brilliant! What a fun toy. Landfill is sulking though: he has no TM pals. Awwww.

Must pick up the other Quake TM pal. And Landfill's TM pals. And the other double TM's. Damn it.

POW! POW!

I NOW HAVE ALL 3 TITANIUM SEEKERS!!!!!!!

Oh wonderfull joy of joys!!!! They look great together! Just, just CAPITAL!!!!!

Also...

Classics Sunstreaker. I love him! He's fab! When I transformed his spinny chest/head bit I actually gasped out loud! Roll on Sideswipe!

And BW Drillbit. I felt I needed this chap to complete my little BW collection. Like him alot. His insect legs get in the way a bit in robot mode, but it's not too much. He's got a great personality.

Lets see. Acid Storm arrived. Thanks Phil.
A classic Prime arrived to be repainted as Powered Convoy, Diaclone blue cab, Machine Wars Prime, or possibly the unreleased TF Universe Menasur or Motormaster, whichever it was names. It aslo came with a Cyb Defense Hotshot if anyone needs one.

TFA BA what a fantastic toy. Makes me very happy especially at £7.50.

Today I got SOC Dancouga, God Mars and 1/60 YF-21.

Animated Grimlock, Ratchet and Black Arachnia on the way.

Dancouga's sword is bigger than MP Megatron. Dancouga rocks.

I especially like the similarities between him and the later Victory Leo/Star Saber.

Actually - there are some TFs which are just totally rip offs of earlier mecha. Cyclonus, for one, is complete Black Ox... but...that's neither here nor there...

Dancouga can give Predaking a pretty good run for his money

God Mars is funny... "Transform into trash cans and mail boxes!" ... because there's really no other er...form...for these fellas to take

Oh well

Pete
