Time to knuckle down and polish off the remaining reviews that need updating. A surprising number involve the word Megatron .... (did you know there wer 3 versions of the Megabolt mould ?)
It's possible I may even get to the Energon Combiners soon too ! And the missing basic Turbomaster !
I could tell you a boring story about xl models and changing file prefixes but I won't. Instead i'll shorten it to I'm sure everything in the new location works now.

I'd be interested in seeing you review Armada Megatron. Personally I think it is one of the best Transformers ever made, in a 'this is the greatest kid's toy ever' rather than 'this is an amazing collectable'. But it has a chunky allure that makes me like it even as an adult.

This is horrible. I've had to draft a new to do list to cope with the DOTM toys I want to review. I spent all day working on Starscream Legends (and a top secret G1 related project) and discovered the Legends weren't even on my list.
*Then* I came in here and discovered all the stuff on my old to do list that I never did !
The DOTM List looks like this now:
1 dotm Legion Leadfoot
2 dotm Megatron(update)
3 dotm Ironhide(update)
4 dotm Ark
5 dotm Whirl
6 dotm Tailpipe with Pinpointer
7 dotm Mechtech Bumblebee
8 dotm Space Case(update hftd Terradive)
9 dotm Vortex(update hftd Tomahawk)
10 rotf Legends Soundwave
11 dotm Legion Roadbuster
12 dotm Legion Flak
13 dotm Legion Crowbar
14 dotm Commander Hatchet
But all I can think of is Top Secret G1 Project for later in the year!

I've had a toy (not on the above list) sitting in Liz's room waiting to be reviewed for a few years. I did some links for it so long ago that it's got the url for the old version of the site.
Everytime I've sat down to look at it I've not thought of anything to say.
I woke up this morning and thought today's the day and am making good progress.
Big review. Big toy.

3400 words and 23k. Not finished yet. For length of an original review we're into Powermaster Prime territory, but still some way short of the monster that the Classics Starscream review has become.

Went looking for the g1 Snarl review in order to nick a story at the start of it for the POTP Snarl review. No sense in typing the same tale twice.
Discovered I'd never reviewed 1985 Snarl. Or any of the other original Dinobots!
