Now you're getting somewhere..... Time for a bonus clue! The Norse Mythology refers, in whole, to a previous week's subject whose results will form part, but probably a large part, of most people's lists this week! As to why Micromaster bases links to Asgard see tmukhub.proboards.com/post/155409/thread and tmukhub.proboards.com/post/58938/threadWe Did Micromaster Bases way way back in week 4. So if MICROMASTER BASES form part of this weeks answers and Certain large, and largest, Transformers will be involved. what's the answer?

Titans? But that's more Greek mythology than Norse.
I've spent the last half hour thinking about this but I can't see any connections to a previous week other than the one about mythical animals?

Oh I see. I wouldn't have known about the micromaster base connection. I'm surprised Transformers with base modes hasn't been done before!

Some of the clue dose refer to something regular readers would be familiar with.
There's stuff in the rest of the clue that points at bases but I can't find it now cos I'm horizontal having done my back in In a bunny related incident.
However the first clue contains the word basis, a base, which shoul have helped.

Week 200: BasesYour top 5 Transformer toys with a base mode please! Based as usual on ones I have first hand experience with: 5. G1 Trypticon 4. G1 Metroplex 3. Groundshaker - a bit different to the usual pattern of base modes, I like the two levels 2. Skyhopper - nice base mode with nice colours with a good frontline fortress vibe to it 1. Ironworks - always a soft spot for the construction theme, but this is also a really nice base with the unfolding radar thing and tower Despite liking base modes, I never cared for PMOP's. I wouldn't mind getting a TR Blaster as that looks like a fun base; while looking through the last Generations book the other day my daughter insisted I get Fort Max, but even if he did ever turn up at retail here he would be astronomically expensive (Blaster et al are 70EUR...). -Jim

I'll skip ahead from wherever Im actually up to.... man I had forgoten just how bad some of these look. Bubbling under- RID Prime/Hotspot - appears to be nothing more than an upscaled spychanger but by titanium standards thats probably complimentary. 5. the strike jets - I think Ive only ever handled a junker Thundercracker but they seem like a pretty good stab at the cybertronian designs. 4. Optimal Optimus -Never owned so it might be pants, but looks in pictures really really good. 3. Nappyman - So so close to being quite good. From memory it has the least traditional titanium problems, but then they gave him a giant robot nappy. Im torn here, top spot has to be a tie. 1. Rodimus - its flawed because its a titanium, but its only very slightly flawed. On the whole it works really well. Probably the best Ho Rod/imus toy since 86 depressingly. 1. Ultra Magnus - its flawed because its a titanium, but the basic design is top notch, the concept would have worked very well as part of mutliple Spychanger/legends/whatever lines in the last decade or so. 5. blargh er Unite Warrior I suppose 4. BWII 3. Generations 2. Original - many hours spent looking at Thrust in the toy catalogues, always the one I wanted 1. Botcon 2007 5. Breakdown 4. Im going to say Skywarp though Im not sure its technically Micron 3. the various vehicons 2. The really chromed Megatron 1. Unicron - I will get one eventually Microns 5. Mini Bulkhead 4. Heavyweight 3. Botcon Scalpel 2. TFSS Catgut 1. Megatrons crazy monkey cannon In this case no. Botcon Thundercracker is fine but they got the colour layout wrong and chickened out by darkening the pinky red. The multicoloured guns that resulted are a wonder though. This list changes daily as its way too long a list to remember at one time. 5. Circuit - how can I ignore those colours 4. Diaclone Thrust chap - great mould 3. Animated Dragstrip 2. Lioconvoy 1. Animated Minerva Argh! I forgot Kick Off! 5, Music Label - I dont own it but it looks so bonkers 4. Botcon 2006 custom class 3. TR 2. Original 1. Masterpiece 5. Transmetal 4. Animated 3. BW 2. Generations 1. Botcon 2006 Week 194: Modern Combiners (BW - Pre CW)Over the next few months we're going to do a few CW Top 5s now the line is effectively over. So as a prelude I thought we'd look at what are the best modern combiners. We've already done Scramble City/Special Team Combiners in week 43 so my arbitrary cut off point for the start is Beast Wars and we'll look from there up till the commencement of CW. Off the top of my head there's new Combiners in BW, the original RiD, Energon, PCC, ROTF & Go, but there may well be others. And there's a few repaints of older combiners scattered around too. 5. ROTF Devastator - legends. 4. FOC G2 Bruticus for the colours and box/ Ruination - for Impactor and Xarrons hea 3. Build King 2. BW Tripredacus 1. BW Magnaboss Week 195: BatsYour top 5 Transformers toys which turn into bats please! 5. Ratbat 4. Optimus Primal 3. Wingthing - the Ratbat repaint so definite bat. 2. Onyx Prime? Primal? 1. Red Optimus Primal - cause its red Convobat will likely gate crash the list in a few weeks.

5. TM2 a lot of nostalgia goes in to the placing, but I also think it makes what is otherwise an awful mould work really well. 4. Alternators - cat version 3. Original 2. BW Metals 1. Universe I forgot WST Im placing it a position zero 5. er Armada kinda reminds me of AMTC 4. Original 3. TFCC Ramjet - big fan of the mould 2. G2 Ramjet 1. TFCC G2 Ramjet 5. er 4. BW dino chap 3. TR 2. Universe 1. Headmasters 5. Predacus 4. Defensor 3. G2 Menasaur 2. Superion 1. Computron Yay Im up to date.
