....OH MY GOD A POD PERSON! WHERE THE HELL IS MATTERSMASHER?!

[Mattersmasher]

@rave1X Don't worry, I'll be right back after these messages:

[SharkNinjaBlueStar]

OH GOD, RAMPAGE, YOU LUCKY MAN, YOU.

Oh, and I'll be purchasing your gifts and all of the subsequent supplies this week, as I am finally unpoor enough to afford all of the things I need to buy for people.

[Mattersmasher]

@SharkNinjaBlueStar If you're still after 2007 Movie Salvage, then I'll send him over in trade :)

[SharkNinjaBlueStar]

@Mattersmasher Oh tish tosh, these are presents, my dear friend, nothing is needed in return.

[MrJohnjohn35]

liking hatchet!

[Mattersmasher]

@MrJohnjohn35 Hatchet has a load of sneaky little joints and hinges which make minor adjustments to tweak his stance. So clever!

[xilitolly]

your completely right, european trucks are cool !!!!

[Mattersmasher]

@xilitolly I like American trucks just fine, Australian 'land train' ones, too, but the stub-nosed things in this country are like mobile brick walls!

[Davadino]

beast machines scavenger was actually the first transformer I ever got and is what got me hooked.

[Mattersmasher]

@Davadino I can see exactly why; he may not turn into any particular vehicle, but whatever it is, it's COOL.

[thegenero]

i long for starscream armada

[Mattersmasher]

@thegenero He's not too hard to get hold of, nor too expensive :)

[thegenero]

@Mattersmasher right after you said this i picked him up on crave.com for 20 bucks free shipping

[Mattersmasher]

@thegenero See? :P Glad you got one, he's got some flaws, but he more than makes up for them in character and gimmickry.

[gravehart2002]

So...you literally have a monkey on your back ? :D

[Mattersmasher]

@gravehart2002 BOOM BOOM!

[Sharpolicious]

Seeing you sans-beard is strange but at least your rugged good looks are still evident unlike me sans-beard and I look like a baby seal.

Great haul and I'm jealous of some of the stuff you got (Armorhide and Guzzle) but Y U NO TALK ABOUT DREADFLEET!? lol

[Mattersmasher]

@Sharpolicious I look like I have no chin...

Dreadfleet will be talked about after I have properly played it this week :)

[waspshot23]

scavenger is awesome, doc ock arms, eh? How have I never thought of that?

[Mattersmasher]

@waspshot23 I love how mechanical they look, they're similar to Tarantulas' arms, but actually useful.

[waspshot23]

would this video happen to contain automatons?

Who is this beardless man??

[Mattersmasher]

@waspshot23 Automata, surely.

[waspshot23]

@Mattersmasher dangnabbit...

[Skullgrin140]

Quite a nice haul you have there, also well done for getting a BW Rampage. Now Depth Charge wont be so lonely, also you have an animorphs toy, I will look forward to seeing you tackle that monstrosity of a toy.

[Mattersmasher]

@Skullgrin140 He's not as bad as I make out, but he doesn't really turn into a human. It's Gorilla/Monkeyman/Monkeyman with human head.

[HardCoreQWERTYA7X]

Congrats on finally getting a Hatchet! :D

[Mattersmasher]

@HardCoreQWERTYA7X Yeah, took a while, but I didn't want to pay top dollar. Now that I have him, I would have paid it, he's ace!

[Hucklebubba]

Does the Armada Starscream weirdness have anything to do with the most-of-a-jet sticking out his back?

Also, at this moment, I have more of a beard than you do. Unprecedented.

[Mattersmasher]

@Hucklebubba He is a little...back-shelfy, isn't he? I love the asymmetrical swordsman look and the smirk, though :D

[Hucklebubba]

@Mattersmasher Oh, and also, we have stubby trucks here as well, but they do seem less prevalent than the long-nosed type.

[Hucklebubba]

@Mattersmasher But, you are right that Armorhide is a European truck; a Volvo Globetrotter, to be exact. The best of all the trucks at whimsical basketball tricks.

[smsno1]

i wish to have your animunky!

[smsno1]

@smsno1

ps, i tii am going to embark on MOvember!

[Mattersmasher]

@smsno1 Grow a 'mo', bro!

[Mattersmasher]

@smsno1 He's mint condition and he is a pretty awesome gorilla...it's just the transformy bit that I'm not keen on! Ay Ay Ay, Monkeyman!

[Mattersmasher]

@smsno1 Wicked cool, I'll Facebook message you about it.

[Dice1138]

Clear nail polish should help stop the chrome from flaking further on the Rampage

[Mattersmasher]

@Dice1138 The seller has already applied some varnish, so it shouldn't get any worse at least.

[EssexAlpha]

Half the new robots you got in this vid are some of my old favourites as well. TM Scavenger, BM Scavenger, Clawjaw, Rampage, Prime all amazing figures. Love each and every one of them to bits. I also have both BW Jetstorm and BWII Tonbot and Tonbot is absolute sex compared to Jetstorm. The colours just work beautifully on him. My fav out of the pack though is BM Scavenger. He is like you say a beautiful figure full of army building potential. Him and Thrust are absolute gems from Beast Machines.

[Mattersmasher]

@EssexAlpha Would you say Thrust is better than the bike drone? Also, why are those drones so difficult to come by?

[EssexAlpha]

@Mattersmasher I don't have the Cycle Drone, but I much prefer the deluxe Thrust regardless. He has so much more character than the simplified character model and the basic toy that followed. Thrust is excellent, and I have actually army built him, to my girlfriends chagrin. Most of the Battle for the Sparks figures are pretty hard to track down in general though. Just because RiD was hitting shelves around the same time and they were FAR more interesting to most people...

[MrVash104]

i love scaverger i had him as a kid untill someone stole him at daycare lol but i got a new one lol and ooo hatchet i only seen one of him and i love star in armada and he had such an amazing death and i had the repaint one lol and sweetness sBW scavager i have two of him !OMG RAMPAGE !! and hmm thats streange and oh man at a discount store in teh US i saw an whole buch of RTS tracks bumble bee G2 prime and wreck gar for $6.99 and i got the last two

[Mattersmasher]

@MrVash104 Discount bargain! Nice job, I'm still trying to get a United G2 Prime...

[MrVash104]

@Mattersmasher well u better hurry once that add on comes out i have a feeling that his price will sky rocket

[zizzlerizzle8707]

*grumblegrumble* curse you for having space case.

Armada starcscream is quite nifty, both as a toy and character, i really want to get a new one to replace my heavily loved one.

[Mattersmasher]

@zizzlerizzle8707 He seems pretty common, thankfully. I was impressed by the number of SFX and his pop-up head!

[zizzlerizzle8707]

@Mattersmasher yea. even if the nose cone slopes down too much, it's a decent figure

[Wolfydsw]

And Im an appreciator of the freas also! (Man, making up for not commenting in ages tonight!)

[Wolfydsw]

also THERE IS NO HATCHET ONLY ZUUUUL!

[Mattersmasher]

@Wolfydsw "Do you have DotM Hatchet?"

"No, sorry, only ZUUL!"

[Wolfydsw]

You actually got a Hatchet? :O! Le envy!

[ZeltraxMillenium]

I also join the shaking of fists. So, MatterSmasher, mind if I send Animated Voyager Megs on Monday? I'm already sending a package on monday so, I might as well get your package off my chest.

[Mattersmasher]

@ZeltraxMillenium Cool, cool. Re-send me your address in an IM!

[ZeltraxMillenium]

@Mattersmasher

Don't you mean PM? Otherwise, it's fine.

[Vdecepticon]

Nice haul man :) That scavenger is pretty sweet. :) 

[Mattersmasher]

@Vdecepticon Both Scavengers have proved to be shelf-warmeriffic so they are easy to get on the el cheapo!

[carnut015]

On the show, Starscream was one of my favorite characters in Armada. Lots of development and a good character arc. The toy is different, but fun. Congrats on the robot haul!

[Mattersmasher]

@carnut015 Does the Sam's Club one represent anything from the show, or is it just a nifty repaint?

[Spiketicon]

@Mattersmasher Sadly not, it's just an unnecessary repaint.

[Mattersmasher]

@Spiketicon Ah well, at least it's good looking! I still prefer the contrast of colours on the original slightly more.

[carnut015]

@Mattersmasher I'm inclined to say nifty repaint as I didn't know that variant even existed. The redeco/upgrade in the show that Screamer got, courtesy of some minicons of course, was a Thundercracker-esqe blue color scheme to the best of my memory.

[BusterBrenton]

*joins the shaking of fists*

[Spiketicon]

'This is just a quick video' - LIAR. ;)

[Mattersmasher]

@Spiketicon Yeah...I thought it would be when I started it - it's a one-take video! :P
