Everytime I go toy hunting now, almost every store has a warpath/ wheeljack/thundercracker. It makes me laugh everytime how fast collectors were buying them.

IhsantheCursed · 11-05-2011, 12:37 AM

Ya'know Ive never seen not ANY of the following in any of my local stores:

Classics Megs (Crazy huh? But I honestly dont ever recall seeing him)
Warpath
Wheelie
Cosmos
Wreck-gar
Perceptor

Why is this? I mean I visit 2 Wal-mart sores, a Target, K-Mart, and a TRU...nothing. Bums me out. Is central Louisiana the continual victim of merciless scalping?

bmorr · 11-05-2011, 04:59 AM

never seen wheelie or cosmos either. i had to go to marhsalls to find perceptor and wreck-gar. I went apeshit when I saw those.

I think it should be required that anyone who buys Wreck-Gar and Junkheap have one ride the other.

And maybe take a pic of it, too.

If you mean the Legends Warpath, along with Cosmos, Wheelie, (and Rodimus) I think they were very small production runs. I saw them only once and bought all four at the same time at WalMart. Never saw them again anywhere.

They were released right about the time the first or second movie was coming out so I think they shortened the production run to work on movie toys. All 4 are very cool fiugres. All but Cosmos have been reused so you may be able to grab them off Ebay

Warpath was repainted in green and yellow as Sparkcrusher in the "Straightaway shootout" 5 figure boxed set (Target exclusive).

No hotlinking. - Toyark Staff

Wheelie was repainted in black and red as Shadow Striker in a N.E.S.T. carded two pack (Target Exclusive).

Finally, Rodimus was reused a couple times. Once repainted as Smokescreen for another N.E.S.T. carded two pack (Target exclusive)
and then repainted as Rodimus in a three pack (Walmart exclusive)

You may be able to score them cheaper that way.........

Awesome! He is definitely one of my favorite molds from the Classics line, prolly why I bought the mold 19 times lol! Or I just have a problem..

FancyPants · 01-03-2012, 01:27 PM

I did see another jet at a CVS and I think you posted a pic. He's got a trident as his weapon when transformed. Thinkin about picking him up and the motorcycle. Junk heap I think? idk crap about transformers. I used to have all the beast wars as a kid though

Orange and black jet? If so that is Hunt for the Decepticons Terradive and is pretty awesome as is Junkheap. If you do get Junky you will have to get a second one or a Wreck Gar for him to ride. I have some pics in my collection thread of what that looks like.

Beast Wars is one of the best series (cartoon) out there. Some of the toys were lackluster but, there were quite a few that were not. If you don't have the show (or seen it in awhile), here is the perfect chance to snag it. Pretty damn cheap for a great boxset.

I loved it as a kid. I'm thinkin about downloading it. My wife's kids would probably like it too

Primacron · 04-13-2012, 02:08 PM

So Botcon's on in a couple of weeks, apparently there's going to be 40 Generations figures, what's everyone hoping for?

Voyager dinobots for the Fall of Cybetron game would be awesome, but otherwise, I'm hoping for Trailbreaker, Hoist, Springer, Sandstorm, Broadside, Blitzwing, Menasor (or Motormaster), Topspin and Twintwist.

Give me all that and I'll be done with Transformers!

bmorr · 04-13-2012, 02:21 PM

fffffforty? mother of god. but then again, we all know botcon will be whoring out Fall of Cybertron, so we al know the figures are gonna be from that universe.

Wow, those look totally awesome, man.

Whoa didn't know there was this board here...
Any how yes Dinobots please!!!

Crazy Jetty · 04-13-2012, 03:31 PM

I don't honestly know where everyone's getting this 40-78 Generations from, that I keep hearing fans say (The number always varies).
I've never seen any official story or news report about it. The only thing I've heard Hasbro say officially, is we're getting 8 Generations, and they're all FoC. (And all announced do far)

That's not to say I don't want 40+ generations. Though if we get it, I really hope the minority is game related. Hate those designs. I prefer Classics updates of G1, G2, RiD, and Beast Era. or brand new characters.

im getting that ahockwave. comprared to his original 80s form, its CLOSE ENOUGH.

SoundWave88 · 04-27-2012, 09:59 PM

I'm looking forward to buying some new Classics when they start to hit. I like Cybertron molds, and I like the fact they are introducing combiners!!!! Finally something to buy after waiting for all those movie toys to be done with.

bmorr · 04-28-2012, 05:13 AM

im only buying shockwave cause hed go well with my classics. I dont own any WFC figs and dont plan on it.

trebleshot · 04-28-2012, 08:22 PM

I might have to take out a loan just to afford all the great stuff coming. And for those that don't like some of them, great! More for me
