Sometimes that phrase rings far truer than you would ever think.

Your folks aren't going to sue me for contributing to the delinquency of a minor, are they?

What's wrong with Skids and Mudflap? Besides the obvious? I mean, the heads look cruddy but the figures themselves kind of intrigue me...

No defense for Breakaway, huh? Mudflap and Skids look ultra kibblemasters. Mudflap barely looks like a robot buried among all the shellmastery parts. And they look really basic in actual robot designs, aside from their ugly heads.

I'm waiting for a Dirt Boss repaint. Maaaaybe. If one doesn't show up soon, I might nab him just to have him. He's the last remaining design from last year's game.

I was thinking about waiting for a repaint, but they showed a lot of repaints at Botcon and he wasn't among them, so I'm not going to wait too long.

That said, I'm pretty excited for a lot of the guys coming out. Human Alliance Barricade, mmmmm...

HA is a whole different ball of wax though.

Damn right.

Will do. He ships with Dune Runner - who's AWESOME, and you'll love him - and Scalpel. I'll be picking Reverb and Scalpel up tomorrow.

I planned on getting Dune Runner and Scalpel, though I was a little confused why they didn't give him a black paint job instead of making his colors match the Landmine, it draws more comparisons than need be.

aside from the heads the twins look..okay. Have you messed with either of them? I'm curious. They look asstastic, yet somehow interesting, I caved on Demolishor and don't regret it.

I haven't messed with those figures, there's nothing really drawing me to them and they didn't have any samples in the Botcon play zone. I still can't believe you like Demolishor though, that one I did play with in the aforementioned zone and it SUUUUUUUCKED, most boring, uninspired toy they've put out in a main line since G2 (note: claim only for dramatic effect and not thoroughly researched into more boring toys).

I'd hope not, he's been 21 for months now and I just turned twenty. And his girlfriend is eighteen now.

I got both the other day, been waiting to open them. Don't want to overload myself and not appreciate certain toys, y'see. But I might open one tonight.

A whole different ball of 'awesome,' you mean!

Don't you badmouth G2 that way!

Demmy is interesting in a different kind of way. The fun for me is seeing exactly how many different things I can 'do' with him. The first thing I did was try to make him ride around on a single rail of treads, like some kind of crazy tankbike. (Oh my God I totally have to put tankbikes in something.)

I got a total Robot Snail mode for him the other day, with one tread collapsed as a foot and one as the wheel for the shell. Robot Snail!

On Breakaway we concur, I thoroughly regret paying for that piece of crap toy. Even with mods to let his head pop out and turn, he's inexcusable ugly and poorly designed, just uninspired on almost every conceivable level.

I didn't realize o86 was so close to your age, I always thought he was like a decade older and wiser than you, O6.

And yet I still plan on getting Thrust:

I am a sucker.

Nah, he just seems it because he thinks more about what he says and doesn't look like an idiot quite as much. Oddly, it always did seem like he was at least two or three years my senior, and it's only recently that it felt like that gap closed more--although the fact that he didn't finish high school (not as uncommon down under, apparently) when I still had several years to go probably contributed to that.

I'm a sucker too. I want Thrust. <.<
