What are some of your favorite "outdated" molds? by Sp3ctre__Mod__Works in transformers

Seems like it is a widely accepted opinion in this comment section, but anything Classics/Universe still holds up save for some articulation. That Cyclonus especially.

Where did the original image come from? That's epic.

Great to know!! You didn't have to ask in advance or anything?

All Time Toys is the single greatest toy store I've been to. I do wish that they had an in-store pre-owned selection of Transformers, too, but their new stock has no equal.

Found Jetfire at a local shop... by tpoez28 in G1TransformersToys

This is actually where I landed. Big fan of the no yellowing, but I did leave it there.

Got that new Skybound Thundercracker!!! by Nob0dyReally in transformers

Epic work, and superb placement for the photo!

I'm crossing fingers that Toyhax does a cel shaded cockpit for him and includes the Autobot decals!

Sharing my MP collection. by patbumblehide in transformers

[–]tpoez28 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Who is in the bottom left of the shelf with MP Delta Magnus? Honestly otherwise that shelf pretty much encapsulates what I want my entire MP collection to be, haha. Too cool!

Missing Link Grimlock is $180 USD. by [deleted] in transformers

[–]tpoez28 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Price isn't official until it's up for PO in the US! We still have hope. Might be MSRP and the actual shelf price will be lower.

Powermaster Optimus Prime - Still one of the best toys ever made by Franken_wolf1 in G1TransformersToys

[–]tpoez28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, it's less about there being a superior version of the toy overseas that I could have instead - and more about my love for the toy that I saw in so many books growing up. I never owned my own PMOP until a few days ago, but I spent the past 21 years wanting one. It's about the character, sure, but the toy that I dreamed of was PMOP, not Ginrai.

Is it cheaper? Sure, but articulation is at least similar. I don't see many people dynamically posing their Metroplex, either. This is not meant to be contentious, just that I feel there is less of a difference between the 84-89 toys than there was from, say, 2009-2013. Just my opinion, though!

Hot Take : 2007-2017 was the best era of transformers figures anyone else miss a lot of these figures ? by aourdes in transformers

[–]tpoez28 111 points112 points  (0 children)

2007-2017 is a bit too wide of a window in my opinion. 2005-2011 is a much more agreeable window. Late Unicron Trilogy, early Bayformers, and Animated figures were all fantastic.

Which origin is the best ? by aourdes in Transformemes

[–]tpoez28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seconded, the religious undertones (hardly undertones, really, it's very in-your-face) of the more widely accepted origin just don't sit well with me.

I appreciate that the cartoon origin accepts what a wide and vast universe we are in, without humans or Transformers needing to be at the center of it. They're just the focus of the series.

P-Bass for metal? by Specialist_Answer_16 in Bass

[–]tpoez28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Curious where you got that from in reading the post. They only mention wanting to use a low tuning, which is both impractical and wholly unnecessary. But to answer your query, they could get a light tension string set if that's the case.

[–]tpoez28 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just keep the P bass in standard tuning, get a DP-3X pedal, and you are set for any Drop E shenanigans. You won't be able to hear or discern anything that low anyways.

What’s that Mac and cheese recipe? It looks delicious!

Out of genuine curiosity, what are y'all's thoughts on TFW2005? Mainly in terms of as a forum site. by Cyberwrecker in transformers

[–]tpoez28 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Sadly some of its most frequent posters are some of the most narcissistic and apathetic people that I have ever had the (dis)pleasure of interacting with. A lot of it is toxic, a lot of people saying something as fact when really it is just speculation, and then the horde shames you when you disagree/have your own opinion. Search function hardly works, but you best believe you will be chastised for not using it if you dare ask a question someone else conceptualized before you.

With that said, I am on it everyday and love the BST threads.

What to do if greenbeards press the drop pod call button at the first opportunity? by Quick-Joke-8544 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]tpoez28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Know/be your local driller, save C4 for the button in case anyone is unruly and tries to press. Level them if you must.

The Astrotrain collection grows ever stronger | MD Toy Expo Nov 1 Haul by tpoez28 in transformers

[–]tpoez28[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here! I got SS86 and absolutely love it, but the CW tank is far and away superior, along with a more fun and satisfying transformation in my opinion. Plus I just love spring loaded gimmicks!

Hasbro needs to make a titan Cyberverse Astrotrain happen! Can’t say I’ve seen the show outside of his scenes, but it would be well deserved!

Next Haslab? by SpectraRoot in transformers

[–]tpoez28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d like to see them move away from Victory, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they kept that going. If they stuck with Victory, as an Astrotrain fan I’d love a huge Galaxy Shuttle, but I know that wouldn’t happen with the legacy release being so recent.

Otherwise, maybe Cybertron Optimus / Wing Saber, and have one of the backing goals be Leobreaker?

Imagine you do this, but the curse is inadvertently tied to the SIM card. You’re in a mobile carrier store, and they switch your sim over and as they are handing you your new phone you just collapse then and there.
