The final batch of eBay auctions are ending in less than 5 hours. Of there, I think that Battle Rollar or Roller will prove to be the more popular figure.

For now, last batch of Transformers auctions on eBay
Yesterday, I have listed the 'final' batch of Transformers for auction on eBay.
The auctions, surprising even to me, contained a number of G1 figures. I listed my spare Runamuck and Runabout (man, I love these guys). Also listed my spare Bludgeon. I know how rare this figure can be, so its time to let me spare one go and give someone else a chance to own this piece of Transformers history.

More Transformers auctions on eBay
Listed another small lot of TFs on eBay tonight. Listing was cut short due to dinner cooking commitments and the nightly catch up of Lost Season 1 episodes. That means another couple of auctions more to list tomorrow.
Today's lot includes the amazing 'Masterpiece' Roller custom, that for whatever arcane probably legalistic reason, is called Battle Rollar. This is an incredibly detailed piece and is a thing of beauty to behold. It has just the right touch of detail balanced by a subtle colour scheme with a transformation sequence that just works. I marvel at this every time I look at it, and, like mentioned in the auction, am only selling it because its a spare that a friend didn't want as his birthday present. He instead preferred a Transformer artbook.

5% discount for pick up from Sydney city applies to the new lot of listed toys as well.

Autotwats and Decepticles
Nice way of putting it but not far from the truth:
"In order to avoid confusion between REAL Transformers and BAY's Transformers, I shall now and forever refer to the two factions in his films as "Autotwats" and "Decepticles." Anyone who thinks that's too insulting and that I'm just some fanboy nerd bitching, I would just like everyone to remember that there were testicles on asexual robots. Thank you." - MattK at Topless Robot
Why in gward's name were there testicles on Devastator? Why?!? Does anybody out there know the answer? I'd like to know. Really.

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
I hope you have not seen this movie.
I just had to write something to record my dislike, nay, distaste for what was a 2.5 hour clusterf**k with unintelligible dialogue and very crude attempts at comedy. What a sorry excuse of a movie and an insult to the Transformers brand name and franchise.
Coming from a Transformer fan since 1984, this movie was soul-crushingly disgraceful. I am an icy sliver away from hiding in a hole and declaring myself a Go-Bots fan.
While I would very much like to justify what I said above, dredging up memories of the movie would just be too excruciatingly painful. Instead, I'd point to the following reviews which more or less nails why Revenge of the Fallen must surely have set a new low in terms of movies.
TR Review of Revenge of the Fallen
Rob's Transformers 2 FAQ
"I don't know when 'stupid' became an acceptable attribute for summer movies -- especially when we've had Iron Man and The Dark Knight in the last two years, two summer movies that were smart and fun and wonderful and required no brain turning off." - Topless Robot

Site update- Toy Hunt April '07
While it might appear that I've neglected posting stuff as often as I used to, nothing could be further from the truth.
I've recently had a lot on my mind and my plate (incidentally), and at the same time, I've been out having fun. As part of the fun, I probably should mention this particularly awesome birthday K-bash for E, but I shall refrain.
Be that as it may, throughout the mind, the plate, K-bashes and what-not, I've also been archiving the backlog of TF related things, articles, posts and stuff that I've done on or for other sites. These will in time, be posted here, in one form or another- with the hope of making this site as comprehensive as possible in terms of Heroic Decepticon's activities and contributions.
For this update, I've archived my April 2007 Hong Kong trip hauls, which were previously posted on the forums of OTCA (aka OZ Formers).
April 2007 acquisitions are broken down into the chapters below:
