Are you Transformer fans mad?!

Seriously!! I went to a party today and my mates kids loves his transformers so naturally me and my brother went straight for the transformers box to have a fiddle.

CHRIST!! putting those things together was a mind fuck!! My full kudos to you lot but some of those TF toys made me want to punch the dad for buying them

You get used to transforming them after a while so it gets easier as you learn the patterns. I know whats it like though, I've spent an entire evening trying to figure the buggers out. Kids never fail to surprise with me their intelligence. Whilst you two were scratching your heads the kid was probably reading up on quantum mechanics

The kid was on the iPad doing puzzles. He was looking at us, mocking us!!

Like I say, kudos to you lot for having the patience, im just lucky Im obsessive about finishing things or I would have smashed the bugger up. I don't know if you know the figure but he turns into a cement truck and a scorpion

It sounds like the movie version of Mixmaster:



Generally most Transformers are symmetrical which helps make the transforming easier,
The only Transformer I've had problems with transforming is the Reveal the Shield Wreck-Gar.

The classics were always easy to do. I had a nightmare with some of the Binaltech Alternators.

I only ever bought one Alternator & I can't remember if he was problematic to transform.

which one?

Thats the one fox. Bloody fiddly bastard. The movie ones were bloody fiddly

Smokescreen, the first one released.

I never got that one. I got the other two Subarus Silverstreak and Ricochet. My faves was Skids and Prowl

I think Hasbros shoddy distribution of the line pissed me off so I didn't bother with later releases.

Transforming the G1 figures were a breeze.
Doing the Alternators was damn near impossible. Most of them I spent nearly an hour getting them in robot mode & left them there. The later ones I still have boxed.
The Masterpiece are tricky, too, because some parts are highly breakable.

And then there's the time I nearly sliced a finger off & had to go to the emergency trying to get the red cap off Megatron's nozzle.

Ah well! At least you didn't get it stuck up your arse.

That comment made my day!!

I knew I wasn't the only who got fucked off with them
