Transformers

[anarky]

They're both very nice figures, and WM has marked all the Classics Deluxe-scale figures down to $8.

I don't know where the fuck they come up with these sizes. They're worse than Starbucks. Deluxe is small, then Voyagers are larger and Ultra are largest. Legends are so small they're a joke. But, really, what the hell? I've tried asking Transformers collectors, and always get the same response: "They've been this way since Beast Wars." News flash: that doesn't mean they make sense. And some of us haven't given a rat's ass about 99% of Transformers since G1.

I'd say Thunderwing, but the figure sucked ass. That's a guy who needs to be revisited as a Classic, even if he was much later in the line.

That's it. On the way home I'm stopping by Target for toilet paper and soda pop. And if they have them in the toy aisle, I'm getting them.

[Ran]

I found a better picture.

[vynsane]

so...

why does hound come with an enormous cassette that turns into his enemy?

[Ran]

I was wondering that too. Does Ravage fit into that Soundwave that I never saw?

[anarky]

I get Hound and Ravage. Two of the coolest motherfuckers from Cybertron. I ain't bitching about how they're packaged together. Especially for $10.

[RoIIo Tomassi]

Didn't they fight each other in the original three episode arc? Or I'm thinking of Laserbeak...

meh. Cassettes. They're all the same.

[anarky]

meh. Cassettes. They're all the same.

Blasphemy!!

Lazerbeak was the sadistic pussy messenger who turned into a red condor.

The gold condor was Buzzsaw, and interrogator who liked to make "art" out of his victims.

Ravage was the most ninja-like Decepticon, and could kick any of their asses if he wanted to because he was a motherfucking cool-ass jaguar.

Rumble was semi-retarded and made things shake up.

Frenzy looked like Rumble, but was insane and had sound-based powers. Don't ask which of the two robots was red and which was blue.

Ratbat was the "fuel czar" of the Decepticons, and no one much liked him because he was selfish. Didn't stop him from commanding the entire Earth-based operation in the comic.

Overkill and Slugfest were dinosaurs. Most people had stopped caring about the personalities, but these two looked cool.

Beastbox and Squawktalk were an ape and bird who merged to form Beastbox, a robot who nobody remembers a damned thing about because everyone had definitely stopped caring by that point.

Now, apologize to Ravage, or he'll bite your nuts off.

wasn't overkill a rhinocerous?? if not there's 2 yer missing, a golden rhino and some other idiot- I think the rhino was actually called Ramhorn or headstrong- headstrong sounds right no maybe that was eject and rewind

[Ran]

Wasn't there also a lion. He was probably one of the Autobot casettes. It didn't seem like the Autobot casettes made it into very many of the cartoons.

[anarky]

The Autobot cassettes were Ramhorn (rhino), Steeljaw (lion), Rewind and Eject (two robots), and Grand Slam and Raindance (a tank and plane that merged to form a robot, Slamdance, who was only marginally cooler than their Decepticon equivalent).

Aside from Ramhorn, Autobot cassettes sucked.

[RoIIo Tomassi]

I have all of those except Laserbeak. ( and by all I mean both 'Bot and 'Con) By the time I got around to getting Soundwave and the cassettes, they had replaced the 'beak with Ratbat in the two packs. Rumble was red. Frenzy was blue.

[anarky]

Rumble was red. Frenzy was blue.

You do know that's apparently the easiest way to start a geek fight, right?

[mabudon]

SOyes he had GOOD reason to specify that one NOT ask which was which........

[RoIIo Tomassi]

Rumble was red. Frenzy was blue.

You do know that's apparently the easiest way to start a geek fight, right?

Where's the controversy? Rumble was red/black. Frenzy was two shades of blue. Is there evidence to the contrary that I don't know about?


EDIT. So I wiki'd. Hmph. Well, I stand corrected. But I won't stand for controversy. The Rumble/Frenzy Debate

We shall make a decision and abide by it.
