Edit: Stupid me, I didn't know I can click on the News Credits thing to see. Sorry.
The only other figure I'm excited to see a review for next in this wave is Sixshot.

Check your credits it did. People aren't Always mentioned. Of course I'm missing a credit but that's not the point. You deserve the credit. I never said it was mine. You posted it first. I just posted it so people could watch it before it was needed itlf they wanted to.

Yeah. At least the chest and car front.

Of course not, don't be silly.
I want a bigger Jetfire, Leader is too small now that we've got three Seeker Jets and a G1 Megatron the same size as him. I'll just consider Jetfire part of a different scale. I can't accept a Grimlock in this line that's smaller than Ultra Magnus.

SillySpringer wrote:*pops in* I have a question: How tall is a titanmaster? MM measurement would be best.
I think they are about the legnth of 5 M&Ms back to back.
Also, this is probably one of the worst reviews I have ever seen. The guy wasn't sure if this was Breakaway or Twinferno, WTH?! I am really sick of these guys pumping out quick lazy reviews just to be first. The least I expect is for the person to know who they are reviewing and be ready for the review. He didnt even have one of his tires on, couldn't the reviewer double check before?!

Idk. It's not an amazing toy anyway.
Also, I meant Millimeters. Not M&Ms.

Could be worse, it could be the Angry Inch
I'd love to see a Titan Master with long flowing hair like that...

Or is he just packaged with different accessories?

That's what the Diaclone pilots are called at times, so...
Posted by SureShot18 on November 10th, 2016 @ 10:51pm CST
And I must agree with Will that's not a very flattering nickname. Still pretty funny though.

Exactamundo. This is the 5th version of Stylor, with Legends Brainstorm making it 6. Poor guy, everyone is copying his style

Surprisingly, this progress took me only an hour or so. I thought the head would take me longer. I autta do more targetmasters!

Huh. Coulda sworn mine was. I'll double check tonight. Unless it was a change for the takara one.
And what if the Dinobots were in the 86 movie scale? They certainly seemed considerably larger than the average bot there. At least in dino mode. Didn't see them too much in robot mode.

Sioux Falls has had the entire wave at both of their Targets. Of course it is after I paid through the nose at Walgreens. Oh well.

He also calls Triggerhappy a 'major retool'. Not only is that completely wrong, he doesn't even attempt to say who it's a major retool of... I've watched some of this guy's reviews before, they're really not fun. They're always so pessimistic it seems.

Now THAT'S impressive. Good work, can't wait to see the finished product
If I could make one suggestion, and I don't know how hard this would be so don't worry too much about it... in the japanese Headmasters series, the Targetmasters had an alternate mode of connection where instead of being handheld, they attached to their partner's wrist much like Shockwave's gun hand.
The process was also replicated in Universe Cyclonus with Nightstick; Cyclonus' hand folding back to reveal a notch Nightstick could attach to.
Again, if it's too hard; don't bother. Especially since we don't have the Triggerhappy toy actually in-hand yet and we don't know a connection point it could work with. Just thought it'd be cool

Ironically, I know this when the Cyclonus I got off of Ebay didn't come with Nightstick ...
It was the Battle in Space one for £15 though so I ain't complaining.

I have been checking Walmart, Target, Walgreens, and Toys R Us for the last month and a half in both Fargo and Moorhead, and this is the first I have seen any of the wave 2 deluxes, so hopefully this means they are finally making their way around here.

BUT, there's a twist. I was randomly searching for it on my TRU app on my Android phone. I almost never do it, and was surprised to find it. Since buying on a computer is much easier, I jumped on my laptop. However, I was not able to find them on their website. So I tried to buy it on my phone, but kept getting a technical glitch that prevented me from completing the transaction. I ended up successfully ordering it on my iPad instead. But who knows if TRU will actually send it or cancel my order like they did for my NES Classic this morning.
If they send it, great, I'll get it for $12.99 each. I'll do it WJ style and hold onto the receipt and try to find an arbitrage situation.

Thanks Kurona! I'll certainly consider it! Problem is though, like you said, I'm not exactly sure how he'd attach like that. And if I do it for one, I'd want to do it for them all.

Only just now started working on making him transform. Looks relatively accurate I think! I haven't started on doing the back gun though. I want it to hinge down unlike the G1 Targetmaster that just has it unattach and reattach in a different spot for gun mode.

Maybe you could have a series of folding panels attached to the back gun; making it fold over Blowpipe's head, over his body and onto the folded up knees?

The front you see here is the true front, meaning the gun barrel wouldn't be able to cover the head since it's located in the back. I have some ideas for how the head can hide however. I am trying to keep the number of pieces to a small amount though. Do the most you can with the least pieces is always the best way to go.

The hinge for the backpack is obviously entirely too fragile. Like I said, I have some things to correct.
Edit: I also plan to add some heels.

So that leaves me with Hot Spot's two (awesome) rifles. Any sane person would either put them somewhere on Defensor for spare weaponry or storage, or give them to another 'bot for weapons.
