View Full Version : TRF Toys
In today's papers (the one with all the ads for Black Friday shopping) it notes the big thing this year for girls is anything Hannah Montana; Hasbro's Transformers have replaced TMX Elmo as this year's top toy for boys. Specifically, the Bumblebee Transformer is emerging as a favorite. Cost: Varies. Bumblebee retails for $89.99.

Greatest thing I had a hard time seeking was the Masterpiece Starscream from Wal-Mart. Took me a bit to find one, but the hunt is the fun part. Not to mention that I am glad the US version is actually the color Screamer is supposed to be.
Oh, and a Toshiba Lap Top w/ printer for 229$ at BEST BUY... Dun care about the processor or anything... 229 is amazing! Especially since you can use flash drives as RAM on VISTA machines. WOW!
Also the Wal-Mart/SAMS Club exclusive is out this year. It actually has what Arcee was supposed to look like in the film in this 3 pack. The pack has a larger than regular Starscream, Voyager Prime, and Deluxe Arcee. She's Pink, Screamer is Metallic Grey and black, and Prime is dark blue. All are battle damaged. But, this pack is 40 bucks and will go fas. Get it if you like Exclusives. I like the pack.

First one is the best. The 20th version is the Best; the DVD version with the stand isn't that great. That things are grey on it instead of chrome, and the plastic seems to be a little less sturdy. I would save up a bit and buy the original US version of the 20th with the Black Gun. It is most worth the cash, then there is the 200$ MP-04 from Japan which is great if just for the trailer alone. I got it and Frankensteined the Chrome parts from my US to the MP-04 to have the original MP-01 release and the MP-04 trailer :D. MP-04, MP-05 Megatron, and MP Starscream are pretty much the only Masterpiece Transformers you need. Too damn many repaints...

Grey or Black gun? The chrome makes that one sweet. If you just want to display it uy the JUSTFORTOYS version of the trailer. Its great for disply, but if you want to display it specially then the MP-04 (sell the prime in it) but it's great. He is next on my list to buy since I only have MP-01 and 20th, but that and the MP-05 add ons will be great. Megatron is awesome, but the thing I see is that some of the screws were missing in mine so it is manually assembled and not very well, but the toy is awesome and you cant even tell about the screws unless you transform it a few times. Then you'll see what I mean and add them. It works great though. Starscream, Prime, and Megs... It's all you need. MP USA starscream, MP-04, and MP05 is the way to go. All 3 of them are the best. Thundercracker and the MP-03 (the sell out of them) but if you have the cash they are nice. The black is the better. Other than that just get the basic 3.
PM me about how ya like Prime! Likes/Dislikes, or i you have nay questions lemmie know I'm a big toy fan I'd be glad to help ya.

He's got the black gun and the sword.
He's also got the trailer. I'm not even bothering to transform any of them because that requires too much work. Just getting the Bee's damn wings in was enough for me!
When I get him (he is a Christmas gift...) and get a better look at him, I'll let ya know what I think.

Good, But Not REALLY Good
By The Garbage Man from Oklahoma City, OK on 11/8/2007
Pros:
Realistic, Yellow
Cons:
Comes to Life, Evil, Fights My Dog
Best Uses:
Adults, Imaginative Play
Describe Yourself:
Garbage Man with Son
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
How you use the product:
Well, I use the Ultimate Bumble Bee/2008 Camaro for multiple tasks. It cooks my breakfast, does my son's homework, and feeds the fish. Sometimes, I bring it to work with me, and the guys get a kick out of its gentle design yet feirce facial features.
Things that are great about it:
The color. Yellow reminds me of bananas. I like bananas.
Things that aren't so great about it:
Well, due to its striking resemblance to a cat, my dog treats it as its natural enemy. Sometimes, I will come home to find my dog, Scruffy, battling the Ultimate Bumblebee, in a cage-match style of wrestling. Somehow, the Ultimate Bumblebee wins. Scruffy has a black eye, so I'm thinking that the UB comes to life when I'm not home. Very realistic... a little too realistic.

Wow, that review is too funny.
I think Eeyore has fought UBB a couple of times, but I'll never know. :D
This is the 20th Prime that is pretty tall. I'm not sure how tall, but when I get him for Christmas and act all surprised (:rolleyes:=sarcasm), I'll get some pictures for ya and put 'em up here.
