Masterpiece Optimus Prime

[ParanoiaDragon]

He was alive all thruout the US G1 series.  However, he was killed in Headmasters, which is now available in the US with subtitles.  He was then rebuilt into Soundblaster, & can carry 2 tapes in his chest.  Same goes for Blaster(known as Broadcast in Jp), he was rebuilt as Twincast & could carry 2 tapes in his chest.

I am getting tired of the wording of G1.........etc. That is Transformers, and they just rehashed the entire series.

The last time, I remember talking anything about Transformers was back in highschool. It was like, was that made by Americans or Japanese, I was like, it was made by Americans, because of the art. That was the one thing I liked about Transformers, the way it felt like something out of America, and gave us all hope, like Megaman being from USA.

Now I look at the art, I ask myself, why even bother. They just rehash, and keep rehashing, like no tommorow.

I still have all my transformers.  As a kid, I saw my friend go through fads; He-Man, Transformers, Mask, Ghostbusters, turtles, he had them all, but I remember being surprised that he pretty much dropped his impressive he-man collection for whatever was new.

Me, I stuck with Transformers past the Headmasters and Pretenders, until they started getting really small, expensive and disappointing, a quality they maintain to this day.

But seeing this...  I want.  What's the news on pricing?  maybe if we buy a crate between us, we can get a retail discount?

Also, it sounds like Hasbro will be releasing Masterpiece Thundercracker in the States.  I already have MP Starscream.  But I didn't pick up MP Skywarp.  I may try tracking him down for a decent price so I can have all 3 of the main seeker's.

YES! I was seriously thinking about picking up another Skywarp and trying to paint him as Thundercracker back when Skywarp was still in stores, but I don't have the skills to do it properly.

picked up a Fall of Cybertron Shockwave yesterday at Target. He is a little smaller than I would have liked but not a bad model.

The legs look all sorts of skinny on the pictures I've seen.

I've got these guys at the office

Man, that Starscream is sweet!  As far as Prime, I recall the first version they released here was mayber $70 at Walmart?  Since this one has a trailer, I assume it also opens up with that bay with Roller in it, so probably closer to $100 I would guess, but don't quote me!

Here is mine from a few years ago. Sadly I sold most of these:(

He kept 18 mint Goldbugs. Seriously.

[turbokon]

Haha, I wish. No I kept a few alternators, couple of classics and most of the movie figures.  BTW, there is a tranformers expo this weekend where I live. Might nab me a few figures if I see something I like.

Here's a video for MP Sideswipe & some more pics of Soundwave, Lazerbeak, & Red Alert

I don't think I'd ever want to live in an area where the fire chief vehicle was a Lamborghini Countach.  Taxes would be INSANE.

Damn that's awesome!!
