Paid Members BigJag Posted January 9, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted January 9, 2021 Soundwave was the original letter page host. Followed by I think Blaster. Then Grimlock. With Dreadwing being the final host. I've probably got that totally wrong. I remember having to write a letter for English class once. Being a mad Transformers fan I decided to do it as if I was writing in to Grimlock. Warning him that he needed to be nicer or I'd have to apply my VVH type device to him. Only I didn't have a cool name like Variable Voltage Harness for it. It was something crappy like Dinobot Hurtomoeter. The letter was read out by the English tutor. Not sure if I cringed more remembering the incident or during the reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted January 9, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted January 9, 2021 You have. Blaster was last. After Soundwave for some reason Ratchet had one issue, then the very popular Grim Grams, then Dread Tidings, then Darn N Blast (with Blaster). Which broke kayfabe because he was dead by that point. I tried to write a Christmas essay about Transformers in primary school but my teacher was no help at all. When I asked for help spelling, she thought it would be “Sibertron” and when marking my work deducted a mark because she assumed “Devastator” was a spelling mistake.

Paid Members BigJag Posted January 16, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted January 16, 2021 Not an official Transformer. It's from Korea according to the poster. I wonder if Hasbro/Takara are looking at adding something like this to their catalogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patiirc Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Had a blinding Xmas Parents got a minty mint Takara Smokescreen from somewhere. Not a mark on it. Jinbao Megatron and Ultra Magnus arrived too J The other half got me some Power of the Primes stuff (Mini Pretender, Targetmaster things??? ) Dont know the line well, and also The Optimus Prime Funko Pop Watched the latest Netflix Earthrise, despite all of the promise, it was quite underwhelming and seems to be rehashing the movie, again. shame as there was some good bits, especially when there was some action around a planet that harks back to G1 and a welcome surprise and also the purge on cybertron was bleak as anything as well.

LCJ Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I didn’t know those retro TF Funko Pops existed. Damn, I’m tempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members air_raid Posted January 16, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) Re: Earthrise. The pacing is all over the shop, slow moving in parts and as soon as stuff really starts happening, it’s over. The repeated use of character models again is jarring. A group including Bumblebee and Wheeljack fighting a re-coloured Bumblebee and Wheeljack was pushing it enough, but Impactor’s design is far too distinctive to be recycled as a generic. Spoiler removed because I forgot how to tag them. Edited January 16, 2021 by air_raid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DEF Posted January 16, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 16, 2021 I really liked Earthrise up until about half way through where it really lost me. I need to give it another watch but I just don't think it worked. Not really looking forward to Kingdom now because I don't have much interest in Beast Wars. Doesn't mean it won't be good but I doubt I'll get nearly as hyped for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted January 22, 2021 Awards Moderator Share Posted January 22, 2021 I amazed he can get monetized calling his channel "slag" (I do know why he's chosen that name). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSM Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Someone has taken some of Peter Cullens Optimus Prime lines from other shows and films and put them in the place of the voice actor on War For Cybertron. Makes it sound so much better in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is unreasonably annoying me that he's used the TargetMaster version of Hot Rod for some reason. And it's unreasonable, because that's a fantastic poster.

Paid Members DEF Posted February 19, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted February 19, 2021 I've promised myself I won't delve into KO's but they do look cool. Got this fella in the post today. My first new Prime since I was a kid. One of the few that I actually prefer the Kingdom box to the Earthrise box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted March 3, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted March 3, 2021 I started playing that game. I'm an Autobots and hope on every few hours when my energy is refilled to do some battling, but wouldn't say I'm super committed as I know at some point something else will distract me.
