Transformers: Energon & Beyond

Where did you get your Mirage from again? I haven't been able to find him! I hunted again yesterday.

I found him at a wal-mart here in south Texas. And JT, Nemesis Prime cost me about $46 including shipping from AHQ. Here are some pictures of Nem. Prime and Mirage. The prime pictures turned out horrible, he reflects too much light.

And I still think that Nemesis Prime should be from Texas.

I'll try to take some better pictures when I get some free time later this week.

Cannonball rules and you know it.

If by "rules" you mean "pegwarms", then yes I do. I guess a crazy robot pirate ambulance is just too much for the mainstream audience to swallow.

BTW JT, you can get Megatron/Galvatron to stand up when combined with Ligerjack, or whatever. On mine, if the legs are spread out so that the leg on the combined side rests against the combiner arm, its able to support the weight so Megs stays standing up.

Tried that I think, you mean essentially shifting Megs' weight onto 1 leg that's immobilized by the arm, but his other leg still kips out and takes him down. But even if I could balance him like a house of cards, it's still no fun because I can't move him or raise the arm or anything.

TRU Exclusive Primal vs Megatron set is confirmed to be the BW Reborn set from Takara. Not sure if I want this or not.

Yup, it's them, I saw the pics, Remy has front and back boxed pics: http://www.tformers.com/article.php?sid=6197&mode=flat
Very cool, unless the pricepoint is extremely unfortunate (which is possible, these were $20 figures when they first came out IIRC), I will get this set. What's funny to me is the character art drawings on the box are of BWX Megs and Primal which are of course significantly different from these BWR figures.



Cool pics Matthew, thanks for the links! $46 is too rich for my blood though. I think Nem's plate is California with July 2006 tags because he's exclusive to this month's Comic Con which is of course in San Diego, CA.

No. It's because California is way cooler than Texas!

Item one: Anyone heard anything more about who will be playing the TF voices in the new movie?

Item Two: If anyone ever comes across any 14k Gold TF jewelry let me know. My wife wants a neclace....

Item Three.. If anyone is looking for any Gen 1 parts to repair their old bots let me know. I have crates of spare parts and weapons.

Item Four.. The new Primus rocks! Too bad they didnt make Unicron more like him... Keep your eyes open i have heard that he is showing up mis-priced on the east coast. $20 big ones cheaper for that matter.

I transformed all of my Alternators. They were robots - but now they look like cars!

[Turbowars]

Is that Black Prime the SDCC exclusive?

edit... nevermind I found out that it is. I might just get him at the con. He was always my favorite when I was a kid. Now if I could just get back all my Generation 1 Trans. The 2 I miss the most are JetFire and Good old Prime.

[Adam]

Turbowars, could you pick me up one while you are there.

[JediTricks]

They haven't announced any voice casting for the movie yet, I fear it'll be lame stuff like Bernie Mac though.


Don't leave 'em in car mode too long, Tycho, you'll forget which ones are robots.


Nemesis Prime is indeed an SDCC exclusive, but they'll also have some on HasbroToyShop.com the same day.

Somebody stole my Transformers!

I had at least 8 robots on my desk last week. Now they're gone. Where they were there's a ton of plastic model cars.

JT and I actually agree on a bit more than I expected, Scattorshot, Overhaul, recon Mincon Team, and Thundercracker to name a few.

And, I might have to get that TrU baxed set. Dang. What they should have used were the Robot Master molds, but without the wrong faction sigils.
