TF Views

Because we need one of these, that's why.

I'd planned to pick up Leader Megatron today, but that didn't quite work out. Instead, I got a couple of smaller figures, but they're pretty nifty themselves.

Animated Soundwave: Oh, I love it so. The sorta-kinda-more-or-less Scion alt. mode looks just about like a tape deck, so that's perfect, and Guitar Laserbeak is one of the greatest things ever. Even if his alt. mode doesn't make a lick of sense when connected with Soundwave's. I'll take "awesome" over "logical" any day of the week.

Universe Sunstreaker: Haven't opened this guy yet, distracted by Soundwave.

Damn, finally, Soundwave's er...wave got to my 'hood! Yeah, I'm still way more excited about Animated than Classics.

Animated Leader Megatron.

Some rather nice KO's of Robot Masters Star Saber and Victory Leo.
Some loose joints, but whaddya want for 2 bucks a pop?
Still, nice little figures.

- Universe Tankorr/Obsidian, aka Fruits of the Forest Tankorr/Rotorbolt. I never picked up the original set because it was overpriced and, well, hideously eye-searing. Got a Tankorr on his lonesome a while back, sans accessories, and he proceeded to break. That sucked. Stupid budget plastic. So when this minty-mint set showed up for a pleasing ten bucks, I pounced. Vehicons really are the best, these two are among my favourite TF moulds ever. Just a shame Tankorr's part of your complete breakfast.

It's been awhile, I forgot...what kinda colors does Tankor have going on in that set?

Bandwidth-thievery, go!



EDIT: I just checked, and mine has a BM Maximal spark crystal. How awesome is that?

Mmmm-hmmm. Well, that's rather vividly-colored, isn't it?

(And that's a Seacon fan saying it, so that's gotta say somethin')

Not technically today, but yesterday I received a box from BBTS containing Animated Soundwave, Oil Slick, Jazz and Snarl, as well as Universe Octankor.

This forum - what, it's a haul!

KYB GR-2 rear gas strut x2 - for my Mazda MX6. Now it's totally pimpin', new struts in front and back.

Dane-Elec Universal Portable Memory 1gb - this thing is so cool I had to buy it when I saw it at Target. It's a micro-SD card, which my phone takes, that comes with a Mini-SD adapter, an SD adapter, and best of all, a USB adapter making it a 1gb tiny in-port flash drive. And it was $10!

Iron Man Iron Monger v2 - Dom sent this to me as I had been looking and Dom is cool. The figure is pretty rad, nicer sculpting and articulation and color than v1, I even like the reveal gimmick. This one has the Hasbro QC curse of Dom though, the left wrist is screwy due to a large chunk of flash that didn't get cut out of the hand, leading to incorrect assembly. Still, quite nifty.

Just got back from town, bearing new CDs:

- Filter: Title of Record
- NIN: Fixed (Does not suck, contrary to expectation)
- Strapping Young Lad: SYL

Then, having ordered pizza on the way home, the flatmates paid me for their share of the phone bill. So essentially free pizza. A winner is me.
