Everything Transformers that isn't G1 sucks

[Boba Ben]

I've got that Grimlock, the three main seekers, Ramjet, Sideswipe, Prowl, Megatron, Optimus, and the KO Devastator (Prime and Devastator are included in a picture I posted here). Would like to get Bumblebee, Jazz, and Soundwave one of these days, though.

I think Devastator is my favorite. Amazing how each little Constructicon transforms just like the originals. Amazing how any of those Transformers can actually transform!

Yeah, it's crazy how the WST Soundwave has a tiny transformable Ravage cassette tape that goes into his tape deck just like the original. That's pretty astounding in my opinion.

I have seen pics of it, but I have difficulties imagining how something so small as a WST Ravage could even be made.

Speaking of WST's, i have a WST starscream...is he worth anything?

I think I paid around $20 for mine, but that was years ago.

I just picked up a Hot Rod (classics) but he is missing his missile/thrust thingy. So now I have Springer (Warbot), FP Ultra Magnus, and Hot Rod. Now all I need is an RC.

I suggest you keep an eye on this site,

If their Arcee turns out like the CGI renders then there will be no need whatsoever for people to keep displaying the Animated version with their Classics, though if you ask me it's a bit stupid doing so in the first place as Animated doesn't mix with the Classics style at all well.

With a new version of Blurr also on it's way I think the other major want from the "Class of '86" has to be a new version of Kup. I know there was one in a recent Botcon set but I mean a brand new mold, not some half assed repaint.

On the subject of repaints about to be sold as overpriced Botcon Exclusives 2 of this years are,

Breakdown ( repaint of Universe/Henkei Sideswipe with a new headsculpt and a G2 based color scheme )

Spark ( repaint of Universe/Henkei Inferno in a quite ghastly color scheme that frankly looks like someone threw up on the toy. I have no idea what it's based on as it hurt my eyes to look at it. )

my latest haul from BBTS:

I want to eat Ironhide and Ratchet they look so good!

I like the Jazz, it look amazing

 

[mikeflosi]

Yeah, he even got banned from TFW because somebody wasnt kissing his ass and just said that he didnt like his custom very much and FR went on a massive tirade calling this person and others who didnt like his work all types of horrible names and even stated IN PUBLIC that he thought he was better than everyone else because he makes a living off of customizing toys. Scum.
If you ever go into one of his thread and say something even remotely negative about his work he will chew you out and go on a massive hissy fit.
He even sent physical threats towards someones wife because he "simply doesnt like" that person.
He has since dedicated massive amounts of his time tarnishing this other person's (who used to be a customizer) reputation, even going so far as emailing bidders on this guys ebay auctions and telling them a bunch of lies so they didnt bid.
This otehr customizer has now left the community altogether thanks to all the lies and slander and rumours FR has spread about him, even getting him banned from certain sites because he has the moderators in his pocket.
The man is pure scum.



My arse! Everything he does looks like a birthday cake, the paint never has any shine to it, the colors are dull as dishwater and the ideas are the same recycled poo that everyone else has already done!
Take his devastator for example. The very first one he made he had the original designer help him build, then FR turned around and sold it and didnt give the original designer ANY credit or royalties.
Then theres all this "shattered glass" bullcrap he's been doing lately. No better way to say you have ZERO original ideas when you can just paint something purple and call it "a unique custom".
Amazing skills? Dont make me laugh!
Encline, Tonyzcustoms, Sabrina NG and wheejack are infinately better artists, and human beings.

Do know if Encline, Tonyzcustoms, Sabrina NG and wheejack has web-site where you view their work ? I'm dying to get some ideas to create some customs. I like some of FR work... but most of it is just repaints.

I don't think the other 2 have websites but their work should be easy enough to find in the customs sections at various Transformers sites.

You do know that nobody says "guvna" in the UK anymore right?

Now I know, and knowing is...But to be honest all I know about the UK I learned from the Dreadnoks, Captain Picard, Monty Python, the British episode from Transformers, and Ricky Gervais.

Typical level of knowledge of a different country of the average American then
