You're better off buying the Unicron statue for about $90. It loooks just like the movie version.
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
But it's, y'know, a statue. And not a transforming action figure.

Yeah, doofus!

The toy actually looks quite nifty as well, I think. Quite similar to the movie version. Yes.

So you are going to play with it! Thought so. Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
Well, no, but I'm not likely to get it. The Armada figures really haven't impressed me. After the excellent looking vehicle and car modes of Car Robots/Robots in Disguise, and the all round goodness of Beast Wars, a lot of these new figures are blocky, ugly, and completely lacking in posability. They seem to have gone back to the worse parts of G1.
Some of the new stuff I do quite like. Starscream looks cool, and I might pick him up. And I picked up the small cab-only Prime, which is also nice (shades of Laser Rod Optimus/Black COnvoy/RID Scourge). And Unicron is pretty cool looking. But a lot of the rest leave me with a bit of an "eh".

Fuck Transformers.

You're just bitter that Ultra Magnus was such a total pussy in the movie (and after he was sooo damn tough in the Japanese cartoon to!).
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
Technically before he was so damn tough in the Japanese cartoon.
He could be RID Ultra Magnus, meaning he walks around and sulks because his legs make up 9/10ths of his height. He misses the film everytime he goes to the cinema, because his knees are in the way. Poor chap.

I don't think they allow car carriers with missle launchers on their front/back into drive-ins anymore.

Not my store, or my cup of tea, but I thought someone might be interested: http://www.cafeshops.com/primedeco Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
VERY cheesey....and the wrong kind of semi to boot! Go to Dreamwave's website for fantastic TF art.
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
Don't go there for coherent story-telling though.
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
Not that the comics ever had much to do with the cartoon's continuity though.
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
No. The comics were vastly superior. And by comics, I of course mean the UK comics. And maybe the latter US ones.
That doesn't alter the fact that the Dreamweave comics are a bit of a, well, mess, both visually and plot wise.
The ability to put some life into fight scenes wouldn't go amiss either.
