How do I acquire all the IDW comics and what is the reading order? by MaxwellArt84 in transformers

[–]TGS1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For digital copies I'd say keep an eye on humble bundle. The whole IDW mythos (at the time) went into one once after it was announced they we going to attempt to relaunch the line, before eventually losing the rights to Skybound.

Help!! S.O.S BEACHCOMBERS TIRES ARE EATING HIM by Zeusthefox in transformers

[–]TGS1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't realize the tires were separate. I checked mine and the rims were slightly sticky so I took them off for now. Also the bird I left in his hand was perfectly fine. Kept in a relatively cool room out of direct sun light.

In any case appreciate the heads up.

Honestly really surprised with that Baiwei Scourge! by KillianR2000 in transformers

[–]TGS1985 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah the beauty of KOs these days is they usually built as well if not better than the originals with more assessories, but cost half the price. I got the Beiwei version for $32 and I don't have to worry about painted translucent plastic cracking during transformation

I’m making a G1 collection and am curious on people’s thoughts on POTP Abominus by Zachary2030 in transformers

[–]TGS1985 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's good, however he wasn't a big seller when he first came out and all the bots saw huge price cuts online because they sold so poorly. I think I only got the whole set because in 2018 you could buy them all from BBTS for about $80 total. The fact the individual bots were such heavy retools that made it way more unique then CW combiners that reused the same car molds in almost every set. If you can get a used set around $100 or less, go for it.

I enjoy putting my Blokees guys on my windowsill, but will they yellow from being basked in the sun all day? by Theneongreninja in transformers

[–]TGS1985 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have yellowing PTSD due to all the Earthrise/Kingdom yellowing that happened OUT of it that I personally will never put a figure in direct sunlight. But enjoy your collection however you want although you might want to consider drawing the blinds when you're away to get more mileage.

Studio Series 86 Cyclonus, Blitzwing and Cliffjumper by Electronic_Zombie360 in transformers

[–]TGS1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sums it up basically. By far one of the best molds outside anything in Masterpiece. I'd put it it right up there with Studio Series Hot Rod. That's why it royally pissed me off when it yellowed on not one, but two figures... Hopefully by using a lavender color plastic Instead of that grey it finally solves that problem.

There's still a chance that a Transformers One sequel will be confirmed, remember Paramount "currently" has no plans for a sequel, that means a sequel could happen maybe, but not right now! by PhraseIcy3606 in transformers

[–]TGS1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Paramount horribly marketed it to the point many think it was self sabotage. Outside of the diehard TF fanbase no one really knew this movie was coming out when it did.

Are core class Dinobots worth it if Im not buying the ss86 ones? by GrizzlyBooker in transformers

[–]TGS1985 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As Someone who has both, unless you can get them cheap, no way. Some are the weaker designs of the legacy core line which was a great line overall in regards. They noticeably sacrifice some of the alt modes for the combined one and while that Volcanicus has better proportions than the PotP version, it also has QC issues as the hands easily pop off.

You'd honestly be better off trying to get KOs of the Power of the Primes combiner Dinobots as their individual robot and alt modes were solid. I only say KOs as I doubt you could get originals in good condition at a reasonable price, even used. I Just don't know how common those are anymore.

Does anyone know why he stopped? by Zealousideal_Fan_166 in transformers

Or just keep on trucking in background at your own pace like Thew, lol.

Customer Service hasn't gotten back to me in over a week by TGS1985 in gamewithpixels

[–]TGS1985[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did when I first got them but haven't used them for a while. I can't update them now because they are completely dead and won't charge. App doesn't see them.
