How many Transformers have you acquired in 2022 so far?

[Philip Ayres]

Anyway get your Sentry pish out of the Transformers thread and tell us what TF you've bought or we will Dare to take measure to prove we still have The Touch

[Shockprowl]

I.... I can never reveal my Secret Shame.





I have my reputation to think about.

[The Doctor]

You bought a Hot Rod, didn't you?

-Ralph

[Pinwig]

I think Shockers bought an Arcee. Because she's pink and would fit right in with his My Little Pony fetish, which he claims is due to his daughters but we know really he's the biggest Bronie on the block except Blueshift BUT she is also a dreaded movie toy.

I am a card carrying Bronie, and proud of it I might add, but it is not an Arcee toy.



You're... fairly close though...

Minerva? Elita-1?

No shockprowl no

[Pinwig]

It's got to be a movie figure. Wheelie to replace the naff one that came with Grimlock? Shockers likes the minibots.

Wheelie?!?!?!


FUCKETY McFUCK RIGHT OFF A HIGH PLACE. I WOULD RATHER DIE!






You're right about it being a movie figure though...


I have betrayed everything I stand for...

Yup.

[Pinwig]

Toughie this. I can't imagine Shockers being interested in any of the film characters and he's very choosy about his toys: Sludge, Skids and Cosmos this year does show someone very tightly focused on the 84/85 mantra we know him for. There isn't much that fits with that. I can only think Ultra Magnus because I recall Shockers being interested in the CW leaders thigh colour and as we know, loving Target 2006 for nostalgasm reasons isn't quite the same as loving the film.

[Shockprowl]

I do like The Magnus, but I am more than happy with ol' Red Thighs. (I actually don't associate Magnus with the ovie' all that much.)


No... this is something else.


Something that was on offer recently...




I hate myself....




(And no, Doc', it's not shitty bastard Rodimus Bastard Bollocks.)

[Pinwig]

The £15 Sweep Star were doing?

[Shockprowl]

Correct.




*I* have bought a 'Movie' toy. Dirty, unholy... What have I done....?




(I had a thing for Scourge when I was a foolish young person who didn't know any better. I thought he looked like Unicron. And don't forget I do like Unicron, especially after the magnificent Edge of Extinction.)

[The Doctor]

There is no shame in buying the SS86 Sweep, especially at the knock-down price of £15.

-Ralph

[Shockprowl]

I love beards on Transformers.

[Pinwig]

This is the thing as I said, there's a whole Target 2006 nostalgasm that is separate to the film itself and the comic narrative is definitely it's own thing that chose to include what was essentially a long cartoon episode because of the exposure it would bring - remember the US comic totally ignored the film at the time. By giving Scourge his toy colours, the Sweep really does stand out. The only minor niggle is the kibble on the back in robot mode.

[Shockprowl]

Thanks, guys... Thanks for understanding...

Good man. The triumvirate of toy-coloured evil must be complete!

[The Doctor]

I hope for a future sale for toy Cyclonus.

-Ralph

[Pinwig]

Undoubtedly. But then you will have to apply... the stickers... for true G1 accuracy.

Now, now. No swearing.

[The Doctor]

No stickers for Ralph.
