Re: Let's talk about RID for a bit.
X-Brawn is actually relatively easy to do; Mach Alert falls somewhere in the middle and Speedbreaker...well, here's the thing, it's not the basics of the transformation, it's lining panels up.

What did Wild Ride do to offend you that you'd use his slave name? =[Onslaught Six wrote:X-Brawn ... Mach Alert ... Speedbreaker
I have all of two RiD toys: the Spychangers Scourge and X-Brawn 2-pack. And that was a gift, too. You can tell that's when I kinda stopped buying TF toys... Probably the wrong time to do it, too!
COME TO TFVIEWS oh you already did

Re: Let's talk about RID for a bit.
He had a name similar to Wildrider.
I do this fairly routinely with RID toys, actually, referring to them by whichever name sounds better to my ears. The Build Team members are, to me, Grimlock, Wedge, Heavy Load and Hightower, but their combined form is Build King. Because I can't tell the difference between Hurricane, Typhoon and...I dunno the other one, Flood? Earthquake?

And I still have JRX if you want 'em. It would also give me an excuse to send the instructions for Devastator (which I unfortunately forgot AGAIN). Rampage is on his way though so at least you'll now have the whole thing.Onslaught Six wrote:He had a name similar to Wildrider.

I still find Side Burn to be one of the more complicated Transformers I own. I had the hardest time getting the one arm and tire to get in the right position the first few times I transformed him. The other two are dead simple by comparison.

Re: Let's talk about RID for a bit.
Ha! No worries. I'm still interested; it's just that my father hasn't looked at my car yet so I currently don't know how bad in the hole I am.

Re: Let's talk about RID for a bit.
I tend to go with the "name that I remember" with RiD and all of the following lines.
I wanted it to be good. But, it was not.

Uh, no. It was bad. Calling it parody does not excuse the fact it was bad.Oh, come on, Dom! The show was one of the best parts. The voice acting wasn't exactly blowing anyone away but it was more than adequate--Neil Kaplan does a great Optimus Prime IMO, enough that I was very disappointed in the fact that Gary Chalk was back for Armada and beyond. Skybyte is a great character. The Combaticons and Scourge were always a legitimate threat and everything about the Autobots, I loved.

Re: Let's talk about RID for a bit.
It wasn't just good because it was parody, but also legitimately good. It had its bad parts (Emailing Fort Max to save the universe comes to mind) but all in the nature of a good time. Hell, it's better off than the live action films.
Re: Let's talk about RID for a bit.
The bad parts were bad enough.
