Sunstorm is still warming the pegs @ $20 here. It just doesn't make sense to have a $9 figure (repaint) bundled with $5 minicons and price it at $20. Although, it is a much better paint job than Armada Thrust (either color scheme) -- and if anybody missed/passed up Armada Thrust, this is the one you should get.... when the price comes down. And, like everyone else is reporting, there is a butt-load of Energon Ironhides just sitting there.... @grumpy@ I'm hoping that Energon Megatron will also get the clearance tag once the repaint shows up.

My local Wally World has Ruination on clearance for $20 and the 6 pk of Energon mini-cons for $7. Not much of a bargain... but, better than full price. Still waiting for 20th Prime to drop... since no one seems to be buying him and there is a friggin shelve full of them. @bH@

Will the next wave of reissues only include Skids and Sideswipe or will there be another character(s) as well? I saw that Sideswipe was already out in Canada and Skids has a pre-order page on Amazon.com. For some strange reason, I thought that Thrust was coming out too... @?@

VirtualPC. I'm not sure if a .flv file can be converted to Quicktime or AVI (or Window's Media)??

Metal version...

How about Predaking???!!! @orko@

It will be a shame if they don't.

I still want Dinobots! My reissue wish list: Galvatron Cyclonus Scourge Kup Blurr Blaster (And in a surprise Commerative Series release, all 5 Dinobots)

I wish Walmart would match the price... my local Walmart still has a shelf full of them at $63.... and no Target in my area.... @cry@

He helped me out with a registration question too. After a few weeks of waiting, I finally got a response (a few days ago) from 3H-coordinator@rochester.rr.com (Amy Scott - Assistant Project Manager/Scheduler). I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask any/everyone in their organization.... especially since the forums are down. @monkey@

If anybody can't get the mp3, just PM me with your email address and I'll send it to you. Make sure you have 4.5MB available in your mailbox. @orko@

I didn't take it down yet...

Yup, CDs. And, actually, if it was a transforming computer you wouldn't call it soundwave or blaster... Computron would be a better name. The CDs could be named after the technobots and they could be triple changers so they fit with the technobot names (a CD that transformed into a small jet and a robot).

My question to Hasbro is -- Was this really the most pressing question that everybody wants to know about? Or, was this the only question they wanted to answer with a real answer instead of thier most common answer to most questions which is: "We currently have no plans for this at this time..." #WTF#

More combiners are cool as long as they combine into more than just a bigger robot. For example, G1 Reflector -- 3 bots that combine into a camera. Armada/Energon Tidal Wave comes close... but he is one robot, not three. How about bots like Soundwave and Blaster would be neat as well. Instead of a cassette player, how about a computer? (And Transformable CD/DVD's!) This just makes me think that Armada Laserbeak could have been soooo much better than it was....

G1 Unicron... The dude ate entire planets for lunch.... without hesitating! Think of the millions, perhaps billions, of beings he munched. And his internal workings were amazing. Even when he was "dead" and orbiting Cybertron other Transformers were afraid to visit his head. That's what you call "bad a$$"!

Don't spread this around too much (because if there is too much traffic, the file will be taken down -- there is very limited bandwidth to/from this server so try to wait until after 5pm EST to download this) Video clip: ftp://scnc.pcs.k12.mi.us/pub/other/sndwave.flv Once you have the video clip, download the free flv-player here: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/flvplayer.html

I think Takara is already trying this... http://www.takaratoys.co.jp/kt_figure/tran.../005/index.html But, seriously, I believe that OTFCC is pre-releasing some information when they say that next year's convention will be "Back to basics". I bet he is piggy-backing on the Hasbro/Takara idea(s) for the next series. I imagine the "basic" theme will be all over the place -- as in basic size, basic price point (isn't that approx. $10?), and basic transformation. But, this is only an opinion... And you know what they say about opinions: Opinions are like butt-holes -- Everybody has one.

Do you want me to upload the mp3 I made also @?@ YES, very much so OK, here's the link: ftp://scnc.pcs.k12.mi.us/pub/other/soundwave.mp3 It's only about 4.5MB ... Enjoy.

There were a few that didn't suck... I remember a Jeep type vehicle, a train, and a space jet that I had that were ok (I can't remember most of their names because they were too stupid to remember). Leader-1 wasn't too bad either. I never did get any of the bigger figures until I found a few on ebay last year. Found Cy-Kill and Destroyer (a tank) that were MISB and still in plastic shrink wrap. I would like to find a bigger Leader-1 figure still MISB and shrink wrapped but I doubt I will... @smurf@

If there is too much traffic to the server, the file will be taken down so please don't spread this around... too much...

You can download it here: ftp://scnc.pcs.k12.mi.us/pub/other/sndwave.flv Then, download the free flv-player I listed earlier.

Look in your cache folder, it will be in there as the file "TRANSFORMERS_master_320x240[1].flv". You can play it with a .flv player and have it on your local workstation instead of needing to revisit the page everytime you want to play it. I also converted the audio to an mp3. If anyone wants it, let me know and I'll email it to you. Make sure you have 5MB of email space available if you want the mp3. yeah, uh...wheres my cache folder? i tried all the net folders i know of, and i count find it. If you are using Windows XP, it will be in "C:\Documents and Settings\*your user profile*\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files". Make sure your copy this file to a different folder or it will be deleted (eventually). Then, download the flv-player from http://www.snapfiles.com/get/flvplayer.html . Good luck. If I find a server I can upload the movie, I will. Anybody have a server where this can reside (so anyone can download)? @smiletransform@
