Pretty sure there was a 1st October last year. Probably the year before too.

I completely forgot the cartoon happened until some folk discussed it in zoom calls at the weekend. It had genuinely fallen out of my brain. That's how much of a lasting impression it had on me!

I can't see any chance of getting these unless Smyths put them for home delivery on their webstore, which they have bad form for not doing.

Sideswipe and Hound ordered And if I'd have waited a week I'd have saved £4! Sideswipe's fab, brilliant deco. The only problem is Sideswipe's s vain he'd get shot of any battle damage asap Hound's differences are very subtle, looks nice. Yet to unbox him |

Hound's differences only show in hand. It's really nice.
I am all in for W*NC as the paint jobs are so nice. I must have them all.

Sideswipe isn't the vain one, Sunstreaker is. Unless you SWAP THE BIOS? You don't do that do you Phil?

Sideswipe isn't the vain one, Sunstreaker is. Unless you SWAP THE BIOS? You don't do that do you Phil? Yes, because they both clearly refer to the other car/robot design |

Maybe they made a mistake. Maybe...
But what has been written had been written. Sunstreaker is the vain one. As highlighted in the comic and cartoon too.

The early days, no one could be fussed to actually use the tech specs bios for the characters, but boy they sure glomed onto this one, didn't they?

Yes, because they both clearly refer to the other car/robot design So you also ignore all the fiction where Sunstreaker's defining characteristic of being vain has been in place consistently for 36 years? -Ralph |

Okay, am I misremembering or did we originally see Bumblebee with different guns?

However, you're not entirely mistaken, as Bumblebee has a gun comes in the accessory pack with Centurion (or whatever it's name is), and there might be some some photos with him holding it. |

It's possible, but in my minds eye it's more of a standard G1 blaster, so I'm guessing Toph's right. Can't think where I would have seen it though.
