Masterpiece Optimus Prime

[Zhukov]

Decepticon Pizza :o

[Zhukov]

No Optimus yet, but I did manage to secure this guy a little more locally:



A few bleeds of the paint here and there that I will have to fix up, but otherwise this is an awesome toy. The typical Starscream smirk gets me every time.



Shits all over the Michael Bay version I've seen in stores.

[Pentegarn]

Starscream was always my favorite anyway

[robo_rob]

Awesome, you got the USA edition. The Takara Gray one looks nice, it just doesn't look like Starscream. Got your Dr. Arkeville riding in the cockpit too?

[Fathom Zero]

Who the fudge keeps peanut butter in the fridge?

[Zhukov]

I thought the exact same thing. It would go hard.


Also, Dr Arkeville sucks, and I would have much preferred a standard issue air force guy or something. Haha.

Same dealer is going to hook me up with Skywarp and Thundercracker. Awesome.

[robo_rob]

Sweet, they all come with that damn Dr. Arkeville though.

[Zhukov]

Righto, who is 20ft tall, red, blue, is a truck and has two opposable thumbs?



This motherfucker right here:



Finally got him. Very pleased with it, although one of his chest doors doesn't seem to close all the way. Other than that, it's an awesome toy.


Looks good pre roll-out:



And dwarfs The 'Scream (whom I thought was already pretty big) in robot mode.



COME IN MEGATRON. MEGATRON, DO YOU COPY? YOU ARE A DICK, I REPEAT: YOU ARE A DICK. OVER.

Awesome, now get the Grimlock. He's pretty awesome himself.

[Zhukov]

I always saw Grimlock as a bit of a retard. I was obsessed with dinosaurs at the time, but Grimlock annoyed me because I didn't think he embodied the true spirit of a T-rex. Or something. Also, I felt sorry for the other Dinobots not getting enough air time.

Maybe but still my favorite. Grimlock is so B.A.

[robo_rob]

Grimlock is kinda like gray and green hulk. Cartoon he's green hulk, and silly. Comics, he's gray hulk and slightly devious.

Also, the Masterpiece is great. It can change eye colors (for show or toy accuracy), light up his weapons, and is just hella cool to look at. The standard version comes with an apron, serving tray, and drink glasses mimicking his appearance in the episode Madmans Paradise, and the brain module thingy from Grimlocks New Brain. Then there is a Marvel comics version where he is colored more like his 80's comics appearance and comes with his crown. Also the box looks like an 80's Marvel issue of Transformers. There is a Toys R Us version coming soon with the crown and stickers similar to his original toy.

It's just one of those toys that is just so damn impressive to have.

[Zhukov]

Don't sway me! I have the Seekers and Optimus and not as much money as I once did so that's enough for me right now. Maybe later...

Also, serving tray and apron? That's awesome. If you have it you should post pictures.

[robo_rob]

I have it, I'll get some pics for ya come tomorrow.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Can't wait to see that. I've been trying to find the comic where grimlock actually says "Me Grimlock. Me badass!"

It's from The War Within Volume 1, not sure what issue exactly, but you can get a TPB of it easily.

Here's a pic of his accessories, I didn't have time to take them out of the box, but luckily its a easy to show off kinda thing. I also forgot to mention his bow tie.


here's a better picture of him in his apron and bow tie http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3440/...43c85afa42.jpg

It's an awesome toy.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Hahaha, he's fucking pimpin with the bowtie.

[Zhukov]

That is awesome.


So, are you the type who never takes stuff out of the box? I've still got the boxes just in case, but that's as far as it goes.


Also, this is now a general toy thread.

[robo_rob]

No I take plenty out of the box, most actually. Just I've left Grimlock in his for preservation and storage issues. Not to mention, the standard Masterpiece box you can open up and just slide the tray out and put it all back in later.
