There's more money that needs spent now.  Worth it in that case though. Armada Megatron is a *great* toy. Far better than the equivalent Prime. Armada Megatron is brilliant. I weep that I no longer have him (or the Galvatron recolour). So many fun features in both modes and full of character. Such a toy on shelves today would still be a big hit. -Ralph |

Yes, thinking back, it was the return to nice traditional blocky 'bots that got me back into Transformers... after my dark non-TF years.... I... I'm sorry, I thought I could talk about by now, after all these years... but I can't.... You need to see Sybok from Star Trek V! He can help you. -Ralph |

Tidal Wave is an amazing figure. Don't forget he combines with Armada Megatron too!! Great toy. I have had him twice and he is fab. I love the wee lift he has for his mini jet pal. -Ralph One was complete with Ramjet, the other was missing it. Soooooo I bought a parts/junker one that included Ramjet as well to go with the other and cost me a fraction of what a complete one costs. |

Good man. You will have endless fun making Ramjet go up and down in the lift.

He had a little hidden lift for Ramjet, who would lift out of his aircraft carrier and be revealed.

Ooh you've missed out my friend. The aircraft carrier/arms have a little hidden compartment that pops up where Ramjet goes. There's also a seating area for minicons and a peg that rotates the guns at the same time.

You join the bad man club with Phil. Bad man! Am I on Mrs Pinwig's list as well as Mrs Cook's? Should I admit I'm coming to Southampton next month? |

Post by Pinwig on Mar 5, 2016 21:42:33 GMT
Mrs Pinwig doesn't have a list as such, more a disappointed sag to the shoulders when another box arrives. Like today. Twice.
What I think you should fear is the potential of the powerlinx combined form of Mrs P and Mrs S.
We should all fear that.
Southampton is it? Full of entertainingly large ships, Forbidden Planet (which is much reduced in stature after a flood wiped out their lower floor), and just for you... An IKEA.

Actually, the toys r us is. It's just over the road. But there isn't a lot in there at the moment. Only place I've seen a blaster/perceptor set mind you.

So did you use the lift when you had Tidal Wave?
-Ralph

Post by Pinwig on Mar 6, 2016 9:52:45 GMT
I did. I also took Tidal Wave to a lift to use the lift within a lift. I was hoping for some kind of exponential lift powah that would cause a lift rift somewhere around floor 13, but sadly nothing happened. I went home disappointed.

What other Transformers have lifts? Grandus, Fort/Grand/Brave Max. Anyone else?

Post by blueshift on Mar 6, 2016 11:22:40 GMT
Grandus had a motorised lift when combined with Star Convoy!
Maybe you could count the Brainmaster mechanism which makes them rise from the chests into the head as lifts?

Micromaster Coundown.
Sky Garry looks like the platform should move up and down but doesn't.
