Not that I like fiddly Movieverse toys (especially where the robot parts have nothing to do with the vehicle parts) but I must be the only one to quite like the Mixmaster toy.

As horrible as ROTF Prime is (and he is horrible!) at least his robot mode looks like something. Mixmaster on the other hand is sort of a mystery as to whether he's in robot mode or a jumbled mess of bits.
I have still failed to get him back into vehicle mode. He makes those BW Neo nightmare shellformers look like Actionmaster Elites!!

I can. ROTF Leader Optimus. I still shudder with fear when I think about what it was like to transform. -Ralph Oh good shout. I have the Nightwatch leader than I bought many moons ago that's still sitting in a twisted half-transformed freak version of Prime. Mrs Bazzas nephews like playing with it when they come up because it makes noises and I don't care if they break it. No. Nightwatch Op is from the Movie 1 leader mould. www.tfu.info/2008/Autobot/NightwatchOptimusPrime/optimusprime.htmThat toy is a stroll in the park compared to the ROTF Leader. www.tfu.info/2009/Autobot/OptimusPrime/optimusprime.htmLet me tell you a story..... (which I see Mr Marshall has hinted at upthread) One year we had arranged a Swincon. In the run up I found ROTF leader Jetfire and Optimus cheap (a tenner?) in Asda so I bought them for us to enjoy. If I recall correctly there was myself, Andu, Burns, Nick, Kaptain Karl, Martin and Blueshift all sitting in the room together and NONE of us could satisfactorily Transform the ****ers. Horrible day. I still have nightmares. Thankfully some pre release Powercore and HFTD Seaspray arrived the next morning. |

Got DOTM Ultimate Prime but I've not dared to transform that yet. That sounds like a nightmare. If you guys couldnt transform it, I have less than no chance. |

I remember the night spurred on by these boards that I got Jetfire from robot to jet. Took over an hour and he has not been touched since.
Tis a magnificent alt mode though. Great Blackbird.
YouTube is a godsend when it comes to messy transformations like those.
