This isn't really optional is it?

85$ happily spent on a Voyager-sized figure.

Only wish I had picked up the Topspin/Twin Twist 3P when it was um... well not scalped to death on eBay. Will have to wait on Generations Jumpstarters to complete the Wreckers display.

I'm salivating over this. Literally. It's Ramadan. I would serve him up with some served chianti and fava bean. Minus the chianti. SLUUURRRRRRPPPPPPPPP

[Best First]

Weird dude. Weird.

[bumblemusprime]

Now Transfans is all sticky.

[Best First]

Stickier.

Its not like we clean.

Also: ordered.

[Professor Smooth]

So, this finally came out. Any thoughts?

[bumblemusprime]

FedEx needs to move faster

[bumblemusprime]

K, thoughts.

Glad that I ordered and paid for this before the current round of financial trouble. I mean, I probably wouldn't have a shortfall of finances if I didn't buy too many Transformers, but still... like BF said not really optional.

Absolutely magnificent. Has a harpoon and a drill and an actual hand hand. Looks ripped from the pages of LSotW. Transformation is the usual stupid-complex third party process, but, and this is important for me, there's only one tiny bit of partsforming with his cannon. Other than that, you can take one robot and turn it into one car. Warden, my only foray into INSANELY expensive 3Ps, was all partsforming. (I'm glad Warden has a good home at BF's now because he would have eventually lost pieces at my place.)

Only complaint is that Spartan Impactor is actually a bit taller than Generations Springer, which is not quite comic-accurate, and his colors are actually quite muted and opaque next to said Springer, who is bright green. I would have liked working treads, but that probably would have upped the already insane price by 35$ at least.

For anyone trying to complete the Wreckers, the third party Topspin/Twin Twist (Mech Ideas Apex & Geminus) has been spotted on eBay lately, usually at 130$ or above. I've had some luck getting a better price from Facebook groups--I got a TFCC Chromedome for cheap earlier this year off a guy on Facebook.

I wouldn't say that 3P stuff is insanely expensive. Over here there's very little price difference between 3P and Masterpiece. Admittedly Spartan isn't designed to fit in with the Masterpiece range, but hopefully you know what I mean, and it relies on the assumption that you don't regard MPs as insanely expensive, which would be a fair thing to do tbh.

Anyway, I've had mine for about two and a half hours and he hasn't died once, so that's not very Impactory at all.

Sounds like you need to put more Xaaron into his immediate environment.

So most of the MPs these days are about Spartan's size, correct? I don't buy MP sized stuff.

Also, apparently his tank mode is a video game homage, I am told?

[snarl]

I've got this **** - he's ******* amazing.

I also got the jumpstarters off eBay, after I saw Spencer's and got jel. They're at my click and collect waiting...

[bumblemusprime]

Sorry to drive you to bankruptcy with the jel.

Warden is apparently coming back into print. Maybe there's a chance for the Mech Ideas jumpstarters to show up again as well.
