A moderate spoiler included but space provided to jog past it , (It's
noted
before the spoiler part below)
From : Survive. To all, (please check for individual replys)
comments Some real daft stuff and answering the question of those people
who
don't live in their own little transfan clique and thus don't get any
answers.
1) Transquito was repainted as Beast Wars second C 17 'Bigmoss'
2) Fortress Maximus is not a Japanese Retail item now or in the imediate
future, the only way to get one is to send in a form with some points of
car
Robots packaging, and try to win 1 of the 300 initially re-produced as
prize
items.
However It's not unreasonable to think that Fortress Maximus or grand
Maximus 'could' be reproduced again if takara choose but so far no such
anouncement has been made !.
3) Again People saying Classic Jazz and Prowl are being reissued this is
also so far only rumour.
4) Cheetor does not at anytime turn blue on Beast Machines.
5) All 'four' new Dinobots are repaints of Beast Wars Neo Toys and Dinotron
is not Hasbro redecoing Dinobot it was Takara's redeco of the mould called
'Hardhead' D-37.
6) Using terms like Seeker Transmetal Packrat /Walrat or Beast Machines
Trypticon for example is Unfriendly to others as it assumes that 'everyone'
knows what you are talking about, when it's quite possible many don't.
7) To 'Hooks' Calm down pal, toys are supposed to be fun, and TV is ment to
be entertainment.
8) To 'White dove' I like Beast Wars, Original Transfomers, And I even
might
have liked Meatbots (Beast Machines) if it was not marketed as a
Transformers show. other wise it's 'OK' (And that's being generous).
9) To 'Lion Prime' I think Skir did his research by watching Gobots, and
got
the two mixed up, hense why Meatbots is so left field.
10) Japanese Transformers makers Takara just got a big Cash investment from
Japanese games company Konami, I wonder if this will have any effect on us
lot, Who knows Takara might have to stop making Transformers and start
making Metal Gear toys, (smile) or perhaps Konami will make a Car Robots
Video game for Takara ? (doubtful).
11) What the hecks wrong with Kibble as long as it's only in the robot mode
I don't see the problem, it's not like Old Transformers never had it, Look
at Starscream, or Predator Skyquake (AKA Machine Wars Starscream). I
suppose
it does get a little out of hand sometimes like on Beast Wars Neo 'Break'
C-32 but as long as it does not affect articulation Kibbles mostly OK with
me.(as well as you average family dog).
12)To 'Michael Morbius' (not real name I take it), I like Pretenders In fact
a favorite musing of mine is to wonder what TM2 Basics would look like with
Pretender shells, and Mega Pretender 'Thunderwing' is one of my Favorite
Characters.
I think the Decepticon Pretender shells in particular a re very good, say
Snarler (Pretender Beast-Warthog) or Submarauder.
13) The new Car Robots trail has a very wacky squeeky voice chipping in, I
hope that's an announcer not a character it would drive me potty if that
was
a regular show voice.
14) To 'George' - There's the not released Blue repaints of Hero Prime and
Hero Megatron in Gray, those 'could' get made / remade some day but only as
a sideline I would think, as Fire Convoys the 'Daddy' at the moment, hell
I'd love to see loads of Old Primes and friends reissued as a side line say
Victory Lio, Star Convoy, Godbomber & Super Ginrai, would all be great, I
suppose I can hope, I went to Toy's R' Us and found a Laser Optimus Prime
Tanker truck still on sale about three months ago, that is an nice well
articulated Optimus.... as is the Car Robot Repaint 'Black Battle Convoy'
that it is derived from.
Oh and there was another Optimus Prime it was an unreleased Autobot
Autoroller as was SGT. Hound.
15) To 'Dark Design' try Actionace.com or toys online Japan ( see banner at
top of Bigbot.com ) they are cheapest , but Aki Yoshida's not very good for
quick answers, and you can't pay by credit card. [ I recommend you try
somewhere in American and look for the cheap postage offers, as this makes
a
difference in the overall price, and they take cards, therefore you are
insured.
16) To 'Shadow Wing the Machine Beast' Gobots / RoboMachines were last seen
when briefly reissued by Bandai in the UK in 1994 including some light and
sound toys I had never seen before (Chaser, Fire Chief, Mega Truck, S.O.S.
&
Rough Rider) all items were sold as Robomachines as I believe Hasbro have
the International rights for the Gobots name.
CAUTION : SLIGHT SEASON TWO REFERENCE :
17) To 'Tony Fitz' Obsidian is based on a Osprey VTOL they take off like a
helicopter and fly faster than a Helicopter by tilting the blades foward
like an airplane, I can't say I noticed this on any helidrones, but I guess
that means Mainframe are not up on tilt rotor craft, and thus thought
Obsidian was just a funny looking Helicopter.
I like messing with Jetstorm until I get something that looks a bit like a
Babylon 5 Thunderflash Starfury, with the Hovermode legs as the jets nose
and his robot arms as engine naccelles.(and the tail planes underneath /
center).
18) To 'Flame Strike' Yeah one of my thoughts was does that mean the
Cybertrons are gonna go all Vorlon, only I suppose there ships would have
pretty flowers on them. one thing you can say is CYBERTRON is definately
unique as it's now unlike all the other Sci Fi 'Tech' worlds , Imperial
Center, Trantor, or Gobotron.
Huuummm, where to go on vacation ... I know i'll visit the Hanging gardens
of Cybertron. (very much like the Final Fantasy 7 ending that show was).
19) I know people have been saying this but I feel it needs enthesising
Cybertron is now a Techno-ganic world not purely Organic the matter
contains
a random / but evenly distribution of the mechanical and the organic just
like in the Meatbots bodies, I wonder if any of the spaceports space
vehicles will work now they are all part plant ?.
END OF SLIGHT SEASON TWO REFERENCE .
20) Iacon 'Wheelie' sometimes speaks yodaish like : "Friends find, look
behind..."
21) To 'Alax Amar' I like Spittor Tm2 and Stinkbomb TM 2 out of the Basic
Maximals, and Megatrons Dragon mode is very nice too.
Out of Japanese Cybertorns I like My Black Big Convoy, (as I just have a
thing for Black Transformers I guess). I also Like Survive's and Heinrad's
robotmodes, and Machkick's horsey mode (Misty : "Horsey I choose you !"),
and I like Longrack in both modes too.
I also like you regard Iguanus TM2 but I think he is harmed a little by
being so small a robot. I would say I like Achardis and Killerpunch best of
the '99 Destrons, with a special mention for Jaguar / Ravage.
Oh and speaking of Picked on Characters I don't see anything to wrong with
Injector or Optimus Minor there's worse toys than them I feel. ( and if the
only reason People were picking on it was in part because of it being seen
as an insult to Primal well In that case I see that as a plus point).
22) To 'Aziraphale' last time I checked I had 650 different Transformers
but
I think it may be closer 800 now.
23) To 'The Wombat King' Tracks was a Chevrolette Corvette.
24) To 'James Wilson' In Overlords base mode I clip the Tank cannons side
mounted site to the claw weapon in one side of the base, it looks like
another gun then, and "slides" in nicely. (don't clip it in though or you
could break it) you can also leave the jet nose on his back in robot mode,
I
often do.
Oh and speaking of Instructions being different Inoticed a huge differnce
between a G2 Japanese Dreadwing and a German one I have, it lists two
whole
new modes, that work well and everything.
--------------
25)to 'Fear Inc' about Dinobot Strikers tail : to get it to stay you have
to
press the rounded lever realy firmly until it 'clicks' into place after you
have done it once it should work fine. (lifting it up a little might help
if
it won't do it easily).
Hope none of the above caused any offense to anyone, as I intended none,
and
I hope I was of some assistance.
all the best Survive.

entertainment?

I think that this was meant to be a poke at Hooks (correctly) being pissed
about people posting (read as "might as well be broadcasted in big bright
chartreuse letters") spoilers with ABSOLUTELY NO spoiler warnings
whatsoever......a mindless poke mind you - but a poke....I do agree that, jeez,
I dont care how awesome that last Beast Machines episode was (which I doubt) -
at least have the courtesy ton not spoil it !!! As far as other spoilers are
concerned, let's just say I dont have an opinion on that!
Just my 1.5 AstroLiters worth...
