What's the deal with action masters?
![2850467-scrapper[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/mUFu5k5.jpg "2850467-scrapper[1].jpg")
I can't wait to re-enact this pose with Combiner Wars Scrapper!
>>4798148
Action-Masters are Hasbro's answer to kids who didn't care to turn a robot into a vehicle. (As if that's even possible.)
They is my favorite of the repaint.
>>4798155
Sadly, he has no elbows. (Probably for stability in combined mode, since he's the only one.)
>>4798148
It was a product of the GI Joe bandwagon. Maybe they wouldn't have been so bad if they were actually decent action figures.
>>4798172
Do you have aspurgers?
Serious question.
>>4798174
Why not do something like sell small human dudes that can ride inside your robutts then?
>>4798148
We only needed them because at the time their articulation was godly compared to main line stuff.
The only real modern equivalent was the Revos a few years back.
>>4798165
Tranny roadbuster?
Taking Prime RID Frenzy/Rumble's piledriver guns and putting them on menasor's shoulder fists turned out way better than I thought it would.
I really, really dig this.
>>4798218
Sorry about this sideways photo, heres a closer look at it.
>>4798218
Should I get Blackjack? I keep reading about how Menasor's monoboob looks better. I already know about the mod to make the combiner nipples more secure so that isn't an issue.
>>4798224
Looks nice, but how stable are the shoulders in that configuration?
>>4798227
In this fanmode I made I'd say that Blackjack really does seem to fill out his chest a little bit more and make it more proportional to his body. If you're going to display him like this then deffinitly yes.
Not to mention he is a REALLY good figure. Great transformation, slick alt mode and very characterful robot mode.
>>4798230
On my mold they hold quite securely until you try and rotate a limb forward and then it makes that whole hinge move. I would say it's more than sturdy enough to hold mostly any pose you try with his arms.
>>4798242
If it works well enough I might just do that then instead of getting the PE upgrade.
So... is Warrior class just what they're calling Deluxe class now, or what?
>>4798252
Rid deluxes, yes.
They're simpler and smaller than actual deluxes though.
>>4798252
It's just the deluxe for RiD2015. Probably something to do with market research or some bullshit with kids.
>>4798255
Still cost the same though, which is why i'm completely skipping over that new shitty series. Combiner Wars will be the only transformers I'm spending any money on this year.
>>4798259
Grimlock isn't that bad actually... besides from his exploding elbows, but it's a fixable fault. It'll probably get better in later waves. Drift and Sideswipe look pretty cool from what's been shown.
>>4798259
Some of the one-steps are pretty cool.
>>4798237
As much as I think Blackjack is cool, I doubt I'll bother to hunt him down to go with my Stunticons. Mainly because Hasbro missed an incredibly simple opportunity to take his little axe and turn it into a hilt for Menasor's sword. As is, the sword is pretty cool on it's own. But it would have gotten that little extra bit of a purple handle/hilt to make the whole weapon even bigger, it would have been amazing.
>>4798272
They are so much fun to mess around with. I can't wait to get Thunderhoof. Apparently Springload is gonna get a One-Step as well
Well I finally got Air Raid yesterday, so happy about my completed Superion but they will go to my shelf soon since my MP Star Saber will arrive in less than a week and take the space where they are now.
>>4798255
>They're simpler and smaller than actual deluxes though.
...shit, really? I kinda wanted to get a Strongarm but now I'm having second thoughts.
>>4798278
>Hasbro missed an incredibly simple opportunity to take his little axe and turn it into a hilt for Menasor's sword
How the does one fuck up this badly.
>>4798282
The transformation back to "vehicle" for the ones like Fixit and Underbite is so fast it's nice. It really catches that "transform and rollout" vibe.
>>4798287
They actually aren't smaller. The style and proportions might make them look a bit squat, but Grimlock is taller than say... Rattrap and only a head shorter than Dragstrip.
Ball joints sure are annoying to model.
>>4798278
>>4798288
>kek
>>4798315
Oh thank god that actually works. I am 100% committed to getting Blackjack if that isn't modded or at least isn't a hard mod to do.
>>4798319
>>4798288
>>4798278
>>4798319
I actually just stuck it together with some poster mounting putty so it looks good from only one side. I'm gonna keep it like this now though it looks way better and it holds very securely. It shouldn't have any effect on the silver paint of the sword either, at least I hope so.
>>4798174
Compared to the later day non-transforming transformers we got, Action Masters were pure gold......
That said, the whole novelty of them was that they had a TON of S1-2 characters who, at the time, had NOT seen ANY re-issue or new version of them made.
Soundwave, Blaster, Wheeljack, Shockwave, Bombshell, Megatron, Devestator, Prowl, Snarl, Inferno, Sideswipe all had new figures alongside Optimus, Bumblebee, Grimlock, Starscream, and Jazz
>>4798326
That actually gives me an idea to take a 5mm port from a scrapper and putty that fucker on.
>>4798333
You ought to be able to find a 5mm port Constructbots piece that would do with minimal work.
>>4798338
Yeah... some of the clips on Starscream are broken anyway I'll scrap him.
>>4798333
Blackjack's axe is worthless as is, might as well epoxy it to the axe.
>>4798341
Also under consideration.
>>4798155
then go buy a scoop repaint
he's literally the same damn figure, but with elbows.
Holy shit, the RID cartoon just keeps getting better. Ped is voiced by fucking Mandark. It's as awesomely hilarious as it sounds, and it's relevant to the episodes plot.
Jazz is pretty sweet too. Not quite as jive turkey as G1, but Arif S Kinchen (voice of Pierce in Saints Row- literally identical tone/pitch) gives him a modern twist on the character. I like it.
>>4798357
Wish it didn't come on at fucking 6 am so I could watch it as it aired.
>>4798359
Ehh I'm watching the rips from Australia's CN, so I'm like half a dozen episodes ahead of the U.S. schedule.
>>4798366
How many episodes are there now? I've only watched the first 2 of Watchcartoon's total 3.
>>4798371
10. Newest one had Jazz and what sounded like Mandark.
Finally got done modelling ball-joints for Long Haul's shoulders. I'll be able to copy them to his elbows, hips, and knees pretty easily.
>>4798383
You're never going to finish this.
Just give up.
>>4798389
You sure are negative.
>>4798393
You sure are annoying
>>4798257
Well, to be fair, it makes a bit more sense as a name when compared to the other size class names we currently have.
Scout class for the little guys who tend to be scouts, Leader class for bigger guys who tend to be leaders, Voyager class for dudes who, I dunno, explore or some shit? But Deluxe? That sounds more like I'm buying a burger than a transforming robot.
>>4798408
How about you shut your whore mouth?
>>4798148
I think a bigger question is, why is Predaking riding Wreck-Gar?
>>4798433
When you're the biggest, baddest mofo this side of Grimlock, you can ride whoever the hell you want to.
I wish Hasbro would do a generations Razorbeast based on the new Rattrap mold. The transformation was exactly the same.
>>4798383
This makes me miss doodling my own stuff up in sketchup. I've got template files for open-hand fists, ball joints, heads, faces etc
Was good times.
>>4798497
Gen. Rattrap wouldn't work as Razorbeast. The gimmick in BW was the same but when you want to do a real transformationit will have to be a lot different.
I would love a Generations Razorbeast though, seeing as it was one of my first Transformers. tfw all the Gen1 babbies get sweet new iterations of their first toys and I don't get anything.
>>4798507
>>4798497

>>4798584

>>4798589
>Hollow forearms on Saber
How does this affect the figure aesthetically? You can't even tell. How would you propose hiding his hands in altmode then?
>Shitty sword hilt
But it's animation accurate.
>Stress marks
Where the fuck are you seeing stress marks dude?
>tiny lil dude looks like it was painted by a retard
I'll give you that one. But honestly, when would you even be displaying him like that? Let alone be THAT close to the tiny figure to even notice small pain imperfections?
>>4798604
Different character was Mandark. Jazz is still... urban.
>>4798604
The decepticon of the day is Mandark, Jazz was pretty sweet, and his characterization makes me want to own his mold.
But fucking Hasbro, we get it, fiction only exists to sell toys, so why don't you make toys for the fiction to sell? Where are my Warrior Terrashock, Thunderhoof, Bisk, Underbite, Springload, Mandark, or Quillfire?
I'm not even asking for voyagers with articulation, I've given up that battle, but atleast say you're doing some more decepticons, I want to give you money for these things!
(but for real Mandark and Terrashock better be voyager sized, or I'm not buying them)
>>4798639
Wish Granted:
>Cyberverse: Chopshop, 5 combine to warrior Chopshop, Minitron
>Warrior: Bisk, Hammerstrike, Thunderhoof, Springload, Clampdown, Quillfire
>Voyager: Terrashock, Ped, Filch
The molds will still suck.
>>4798634
>How does this affect the figure aesthetically? You can't even tell. How would you propose hiding his hands in altmode then?
Not that anon, but as I said yesterday, it's a masterpiece figure the size of a voyager, it can't be that hard to add a panel that folds round to cover that hollow section.
>>4798639
The new Hasbro design team is the opposite of the old one's approach. The old one focussed on making the mainline based on media first, and then doing a classics series as a secondary line. this team seems to be focussing on the Classics(or generations/Combiner wars) line first, then the animated show line second.
Not surprising,this is the same head designer that turned GI Joe from a line focussed on new gimmicks to one based off classic 80's series.
>>4798590
What are you doing here?
>>4798647
Oh wait, I just derped hard. I thought he was talking about the bigger figure, not the Voyager sized one.
Well yea...that's a good point then, my bad.
>>4798655
I don't follow GI Joe, how is that toyline doing since it's turned back to 80's nostalgia?
>>4798663
It's dead.
>>4798666
Oh... so why did they put those people in charge of Transformers?
>>4798269
Okay, everyone repeats this but nobody ever anchors it in anything, and I'm really starting to get the impression that it's just memetic repetition from isolated famous cases. I'd really like someone to explain what exactly the problem is, how common, and what this fix is, too.
>>4798668
Because hasbro are retards apparently.
>>4798668
Because the guy is friends with higher ups at Hasbro. and since a bunch of Transformers guys resigned, and the Joe team was scrapped, he got moved to Transformers.
>>4798639
>I want to give you my money because I've lowered my standards so much that a toy company doesn't even have to make half decent toys anymore!
>>4798383
keep doing good job until these morons stop jizzing over sideway elbow action
>>4798722
yeah seriously i can't wait for my grainy, ultra expensive, not scaled to anything, shapeways non transforming statue! it will only cost $150 or so but it will be worth it because i won't be buying hasbro!
>>4798589
What gets me is the hands. Same with Magnus. On toys this size, why the fuck are the hands so limited in articulation? Bloody Soundwave and the seeker mold have way more.
>>4798700
I like the designs. So?
>>4798192
It's actually based on RID Rollbar.
>>4798671
The problem is that the ratchets in Grimlock's elbows are held in place/function with tiny little grey plastic pieces, but because of the partially exposed joint and lip of green forearm plastic that holds it in place, all the stress of the joint is put on that part of the arm, which quickly stresses and bends out, making the ratchet piece literally shoot out with another flex. Mine got massive stress marks right out of the packaging, before I could even transform it. The rest of the mold is decent, but the elbows are a dealbreaker. Wait for a repaint/rerelease/whatever to get one that doesn't break as soon as you touch it.
>>4798851
Thank you for explaining! Is the problem fixable, and is it totally prevalent, or a degree of luck of the draw with tolerances?
>>4798569
He is a fucking awesome toy, and I am half-convinced to get him...
>>4798851
>shitty cheap new designers can't design a simple elbow after shredding the figure down to the bare minimum plastic
Fucking ridiculous its gone this far.
>Goes to Walmart
>Checks Transformers section
>Shitty gimmick AoE figures are all on clearance
>Combiner Wars on shelves.
It's a fucking miracle.
>>4798990
>implying combined wars isn't a shitty gimmick line
They only did it so people would buy enough figures to make a full combiner, regardless of if they actually want the characters. That way they can half ass everything but people will still buy a shitload more in hopes of getting one half decent robot.
>>4799002
The highlight of what I was trying to say is that stores are actually trying now to get rid of these terrible movie figures to make way for new stuff.
>>4798904
You have to glue the grey ratchet pieces in place so it doesn't stress the green plastic. I had to remove the pint to do it.
>>4799013
Plus shaving the grey ratchets so they wouldn't be so tight.
If the movie designs looked like this than none of you fuckers would have bitch fit that lasted for 7 goddamn years
>>4799009
>implying combiner wars isn't a shitty line
>>4799032
They use generic blocky designs so it automatically gets a pass in this fandom for some retarded reason
>>4799009

>wave 1 isn't even in most stores yet
>oh, you fools ordering wave 2 online are so silly

>>4798990
I found a bunch of AoE gimmick toys at Gabriel Brothers (a closeout store). Glad to know they'll stop clogging the shelves.
>>4799035
I could deal with the designs if there wasn't a blatant disregard for quality. Fucking no plastic, all the paint is uses up to match colors since they cut down on producing different colored plastic pieces, and minimal articulation.
I bought Cybertrob Excellion today. He's great- I can't wait to mod him into a Classics Hot Rod.
>>4799064
Cybertron, my bad.
>>4799064
He will probably be a better Classics/Generations Hot Rod than the actual Classics Hot Rod
>>4799069
He has ball-jointed elbows, that's already a step above Classics Hot Rod.
>>4799051
But I got my Wave 2's at a discount at HTS. Why waste time and money on gas and driving around hunting, when I get get my stuff cheaper and likely sooner online?

At least the figs are cheap, well articulated, widely available for the most part, G1 faithful, true Scramble City style, huge repaint potiental, and combine with only the barest of partsforming- the hand/foot piece.
The limbs stand well enough on their own without the gimmick, and use their blocky budget as an aesthetic for nostalgia.
They're far from perfect, but I'd bet you'd complain even if they came with twenty dollar bills, because they were folded.

I wish they would give Energon Shockblast the YOTS Omega Supreme treatment and release a special edition in G1 Shockwave's colors with his arm cannon.
>>4799359
Given the latest trends in the Platinum editions, it'd be in green and yellow and come with the gun from a G1 Slag or something.
Platinum really seems to alternate between premium redecos (movie dinobots, movie autobots) and just the most random shit ever (brown and clear Soundwave).
>>4799359
What does a modded Shockblast even transform into? Half his altmode is gone without the clunky gun-arm, isn't it?
>>4798287
This rumor has been going on since DOTM at least. Every new wave is "Getting smaller"
>>4799406
>rumor
kek
>>4799406
Some series have been noticeably smaller, but people do panic and decry it of every wave.
I've only got Strongarm from RID, and she's pretty large. It results in a pretty hollow alt mode (but you can only see that from the bottom.
>>4799406
Look at generations Trailcutter/Hoist and compare that to some of the previous classics figures. Or generations FoC Optimus Prime with WfC Optimus Prime.
>>4798160
>>4798148
No dummy, Action Masters was Hasbro's answer to people asking "why doesnt optimus look like he does on tv"
Actionmasters are supposed to have a look similar to the animation models, something they had trouble combining with the transformations.
They would eventually try transforming actionmasters with limited success.
>>4799406
Compare combiner wars prime with classics prime.
>>4799422
Don't have Classics Prime. But isn't CW Prime a stubby block?
Tankor is a recent release yeah? I'll compare him to... Animated Bumblebee!

###votewithyourwallet!!!! TF's are shrinking, soon Hasbro will be selling us packages full of hot air if we don't stop them!!!
>There are people autistic enough to care that Saber's arms are hollow and the tiny brainmaster is a bit sloppy paint wise
You realize just how overly autistic this is right? On Bumblebee the hollow arms were at least a valid criticism but usually not enough to deter any non autists from buying him because people can deal with something not being absolutely perfect and if I have to explain why it's dumb to get mad about something so small not being 100% perfect with paint apps there's no helping you.
>>4799494
wow classics prime looks so much better
CW Optimus' height is perfect though
>>4799494
You can't deny though, compared to figures from 2009/10 that the 2013/early 2014 generations/AoE figures were smaller compared to previous figures. They have started to go back up in size though which is a good thing.

I mean even accounting for angle they seem to be roughly the same height, and CW is bulkier. So it's bigger.

Realisitically no. Bumblebee was a penny racer, not a Volkswagen.
That said, Classics/RTS Bumblebee is bigger and better than Masterpiece.
>>4799617
Because Transformers NEVER adheard to ANY scale. Go buy scaled cars and jets bitch.
>>4799672
In some alternate reality there are two MP lines going, a 1:1 scale line at mode line and then a regular 1:35 line or whatever.
They might even have a decent amount of paint apps too

>>4799497
Couldn't care less about the minidood, but the totally bare forearms on a voyager-sized figure sold as a Masterpiece, at premium prices, is pretty fucking rediculous.
Hey! Why don't I just a shape in the mud and claim it's Mirage? S-still Masterpiece right??? Don't step on my artistic ability!
>>4799685
The main issues with that is, in the case of the planes, they'd be way out of scale in robot mode.
Masterpiece Broadside never.
I was just sitting here looking at Crosscut and Silverbolt in vehicle thinking "Boy, Silverbolt should be bigger".
>>4799494
I actually saw the Classics-AoE voyager Prime two pack in stores today. Talk about a blast from the past! Great mold that looks great still, but a bit behind the time and outclassed by MP10. The chrome was oddly nice and well placed.

Give examples, show your working.
(I never collected Bayformers. Not my aesthetic)
>>4799690
Inter-scale interaction for bonus credit
>>4799681
Oh yeah, because nothing about Bumblebee's design absolutely screams "Volkswagen Beetle".
Totally just a generic penny-racer.
>>4799708
Oh look a cartoon design!
Historical revisionism, gooo!
Seriously though. Classics Bumblebee smacks MP Bumblebee hard. Even the headsculpt is better.
>>4799711
Yeah, nah, MP Bee is far better than the Classics build and the third party design. As far as Bee goes, the MP is perfect.
>>4799711
>no ankle tilt
>no weapon storage
>visibly hollow backpack
>giant flaps hanging off of the forearms
>pointless jet-ski that just becomes more kibble for robot-mode
Yeah, totally better than the MP that solves all of these issues and only suffers from hollow fore-arms and a lack of wrist articulation, which Classics Bee didn't have either.
>>4799729
>no weapon storage
What weapon?
>>4799731
I forgot to mention that he doesn't even come with a weapon.

Exactly.

>>4799722
>Shilling knockoffs.
Just kill yourself already.
>>4798227
Get him. He's a good figure on his own merit
>>4799711
>>4799729
We also can't forget that MP Bee also comes with Spike, not that anyone cares about spike, but you are getting two similarly sized figures for $50. So that's about a $30 Deluxe and a $20 Scout, which is pretty much what the normal import price for Takara's Generations figures.
>>4799745
>knockoffs
Do we really need to have this discussion again?
>>4799729
Not that anon, but it does look cooler in my opinion. MP looks like G1, but I prefer the beefier classics and Bii design.
My personal ideal would be first in both rows of pic related.
>>4799753
Spike and useless GEEWUN purism are the only reasons to even touch that MP.

>>4799781
Disregard my argument, the rear of the car becomes the feet. Very hard to make out in your pic.

>>4798639
It would be more productive for you to address your questions directly to Hasbro via e-mail or snail mail letter.
Hasbro isn't going to read your inquiries to them here. So there's no point
>>4799797
We review everything that is said in every /tfg/, we just choose to ignore it.
>>4799793
Okay mang
>>4799798
Hey while you're at it could you actually send some Combiner Wars shipments to Texas? Would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
>>4798639
There is no Transformer named Mandark
>>4799801
Try asking again.
>>4799813
I really don't get how having a name angers others. If anything it helps to differentiate which anon is saying what.
The thing I dislike about MP Bee is he's that ugly orange-gold instead of a nice bright yellow.
>>4798980
You'd think that they'd have noticed the flaw somewhere in the production stage
>>4799020
No. No, there would STILL be complaints.
And if someone else besides Bay had gotten it, He or she would still have taken shit over it.
Look at how many people griped for seven long years over the designs and no dinobots. Then when AoE finally GAVE them Dinobots abd new looks with characters like Lockdown, people still whined.
I mean when Bay finally decided to use the Dinobots, people here were slagging him for "going back on his word never to use them
Fans don't deserve to be happy
>>4799791
Fucking racist.
Arent you late for your klan meeting, mr. Grand wizard, sir?
>>4799032
I'm implying nothing. I'm outright saying it isn't. But then I'm above the petty irrationalities that plague the fandumb. So I can look at things rationally and fairly.
>>4799121
I believe he simply misspelled Menasor
>>4799832
>2015
>not serving the the Wizard as his Dragon vassal
Who's the backwards hick here?
Is it just me or would Animated Prowl make a good retool of Generations Chromia?
>>4799623
>Bumblebee's Beetle mode is far smaller than it should be, Wheeljacks vehicle mode is a bit larger than it should be. I don't mind, just saying that Masterpiece doesn't follow perfect scale.
As a carfag, this irks me. I don't expect them to be PERFECT scale, because then Bumblebee would be pretty big. Actually what irks me more are all the neckbeards doing reviews saying "The Beetle is a very small car, so this is in scale!", when the fact is that all of the Autobots are very small cars. I know they're going after show scale, but I would have preferred Bee a bit larger. Eh, it's not a big issue, just a personal preference.
>>4799401
He could still transform into all the Energon alt modes, albeit with a smaller main gun
>>4799784
I loved this design for Bee. It was unique and more visually interesting than his G1 design.
>>4799840
Don't forget Jazz back there.
>>4799691
Reminds me why I divorced myself from the fandom
>>4799854
It's a Porsche, but not exactly Jazz. It doesn't have his audacious hips.
But here's Bee and Prowl/Streak/Smokescreen
>>4799789
Didn't that mold have a lot of quality issues?
The only Bee I own is AoE Deluxe new Bee, and I'm totally fine with it. I'm not attached to G1 bee, so as nice as Classics Bee looks, I don't need it, and Prime Bumblebee never got a particularly good figure, so movie Bee is close enough for me.
>>4799494
CW is bigger, but Classics Prime is much, MUCH sturdier overall. He's made from a different kind of plastic that's much more resilient and smooth to the touch. Also his engineering is slightly more intricate.
Say what you will about CW Optimus being bigger, there's still very evidently a drop in overall quality.
>>4799880
>Also his engineering is slightly more intricate.
He does the bare minimum of an Optimus Transformation.
>>4799883
Hasbro, stop trying to make your new toy sound better.
>>4799840
The weird scaling irks me too, just not to the point that it annoys me.
>>4799806
>Hasn't even seen RID S1e10 with Mandark.
>>4799880
Man. Sometimes I forget how retarded fans are.
But you're right there to remind me.
Thanks faggot.
>>4799058
Yeah, took long enough.
I personally like the CW, but I can see why people don't like it. I'm just glad AoE is finally leaving because I'm sure we can all agree on that being terrible.
>>4799937
im happy to see AOE shit getting of the shelves but i cant say im too happy about RID2015 replacing it. since im only getting generations now it opens room for me to round off other places of my collection.
>>4799939
I got to say, I'm okay with RiD for right now. I'll take it over AoE. At least RiD has had some decent One-Step figures (Underbite and Fixit are my favorites.)
>>4799418
>No dummy, Action Masters was Hasbro's answer to people asking "why doesnt optimus look like he does on tv"
The tv show was already off the air by then though so I don't see how that applies.
> TFW 1 Step is too complicated
Anyone have any feels for RPMs?
>>4798165
is that awful sticker official
>>4799959
Jazz was goat
>>4799959
Ironic to Op, these are like reverse Action Masters.
Anyone know the price on this?
Got this for 10 bucks from a friend.
>>4799979
HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.
>>4799980
Is it super rare or something?
>>4799983
You're probably a troll, but just in case you aren't.
You could probably sell that for well over $300.
>>4799979
Fuck man. Most likely a troll, but if it isn't, damn.
>>4799991
eBay.
>>4799991
Try tfw2005 trading boards to avoid ebay fees. I am still a bit doubtful of whether or not you are a troll though.
>>4799965
No. It's been mentioned before that it is a stand in cover sticker to hide the actual one to prevent people from scanning the promo shots into the game.
Though I'm curious if the US version of the game will scan in TAV emblems...
>>4799886
Stop buying my shitty toys so I can move on to movies and vidya.
>>4799998
What part makes you think I'm a troll? The fact I got it for $10?
>>4800022
Imagine how it feels like to be me, who was distracted by Scorponok troll into missing it...
