  1. Sorry man, the story was pieced together by manatees in a tank. None of them really fit together if you think of it, the first movie the President announced the Autobots existed on television at the end, plus it is hard to hide two story giant robots battling in the center of downtown anywhere. Of course the second one completely glosses over this point and acts like there was a huge cover up and that there was a special team of soldiers fighting along side the Autobots to keep the Decepticons a secret... something like that. When you finally get to DOTM there have been several battles in public, including the destruction of an Egyptian pyramid but still the Transformers are secret. It makes no sense. Michael Bay likes spectacle, it has nothing to do with actually making sense, just loosely pieced together story so they can ramp up to then next fight or explosion. If you skip every part without a transformer in the movies then it is just a slug fest of giant robots. Why do I need to know giant robots have bodily functions? Jetfire farting comes to mind. Speaking of the addition of human actors, Michael Bay seemed to enjoy adding as many penis jokes as he could in all the films. He had Bumble Bee pee on one of the agents in the first film, there were several masturbation jokes, he enjoyed seeing the male characters in compromising situations with their pants down, the over the top sexual themes with the female cast and not to mention giving Devastator testicles. I fail to see how it was a children's movie even though it was distributed directly to them. The acting was over the top and spastic because I suppose Bay likes that in his movies, looking back at Bad Boys with Martin Lawrence being the spaz, Armageddon using Ben Affleck in the same position, The Rock with Nicholas Cage in more of the same... I could go on and on. The best thing to do is just not watch a Bay film. I would rather boycott the guy, he can't keep messing up my childhood. Now he has the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to mess up for me.
  2. Good point on the arm. I don't think there is a standard scale for Deathlok because he has so many different incarnations over the years and the most recent one is the one that showed up in the X-Force books and his scale was . I did forget which arm was the metal one and which was the human arm, I recently built a custom figure using parts from an Iron Man figure and used the image linked below as the reference. I couldn't find a head that worked well so it doesn't look too good at the moment. Good suggestion though for the arm. I promise I would never steer anyone to a bad website. http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=33448
  3. I just thought of the tooling issue for both figures, it really shouldn't be that much of a problem, Deathlok: Cable's torso, arms, upper part of the legs and upper body. Colossus' lower legs. only thing needed would be the backpack and new head sculpt. AOA Sunfire: Johnny Storm, body with chest and back retooled for the collar around neck and shoulders and new head sculpt
  4. Oh yeah, Wheelie! Not sure how he got not only two Classics figures but a part in the movies. Not sure how they pick the characters they are going to make next. Does Hasbro actually care what fans want? The FOC Dinobots were awesome, I loved the way they looked, I wish Grimlock's tail would have looked better though in the figure... And what is with the hallow space in his abdomen? Definitely a figure that looked good in the robot mode over the transformed mode.
  5. I think they like to do the popular characters rather than do the side kicks. Grimlock is the leader so he gets all the face time and figures, the others are sidekicks and not as popular. I think it is Hasbro playing it too safe.
  6. No doubt, Skids has a wiki page, I would buy him if he got a remake in the Generations or Classics line. I think we all have our favorites and I really liked sharks as a kid and the animated Movie is burned into my memory because it was so awesome and to see Sharkticons was like, overload for a 6 year old. They didn't even look like sharks they just had shark in the name. I don't know, they had two figures, one looked terrible the other was limited by G1 creativity. Anyway, I hope we both get to see Skids and a Sharkticon in the near future! Skids Links to the Wiki page by the way.
  7. The Dinobots would be awesome! I must completely agree with you on them. The Terrorcons I would wonder if they might get a nod in the Transformers Prime Beast Hunters series. I guess I could be wrong on which line the Sharkticons should show up in, I think Beast Hunters would be best for them if they got to appear in the show. I think it comes to fan popularity and marketability. Plus it has more of a chance of getting made if it was in a recent TV show or Movie. I think Skids got to be one of the twins in Revenge of the Fallen but I wouldn't call that figure very flattering if you were a fan. The others you named I forgot all about them in the series, I had to look them up and then it hit me who they were. I want to see a really nice Devastator that I don't have to pay $350 or $600 for but that is another discussion I guess.
  8. I agree... But we have been seeing every version of Wolverine, Spider Man and Iron Man? We need more verity, Spider Man had 5 different versions plus his own movie line. This year we are getting Death's Head, I must not be picking up the right comics because I haven't seen him in a long time, I don't know how he warrants a release over other more popular characters. I think I would love to see the Modular Armor for Iron Man in the Iron Man 3 series, that hasn't seen a figure in 3 3/4 yet. I still would like to see those two figures though, I am excited to see what toy fair will have for 2013.
  9. Both Characters have been in and out of Marvel comics for a while. Both are great looking characters and have counterparts in the Legends line, why haven't we seen both figures hit the Marvel Universe lines? I am dying to get both and add them to my current collection. I kind of like to mix my figures and 3 3/4 inches seems to be a great standard scale! I love the Marvel Universe line, am I alone with this one?
  10. I am curious, I may be the only person alive who demands this but, why hasn't Hasbro looked at updating and releasing the Sharkticons? I have been teased by Igear for a couple of years now but I would rather have something that I can not only afford but go to my local store and possibly pick up. I mean, isn't the hunt sometimes the most fun of collecting? I am not saying that a third party player releasing the "Shark Sentry" is a bad thing but I also see it costing $100 bucks, being extremely limited in release and taking two months to arrive. I want to know if anyone is behind me?
