I love Fixit's drill hands. Why aren't there more TF's with drill hands?
>>
I looked at Transformers in the store for the first time today. They're generally a lot smaller than I expected. I thought they'd be around 20cm tall as a standard size.
>>
>>11220545
Why are you upset about a twenty-five year old toy that no one is forcing you to buy? Is it because brown woman? (I know that's very triggering for the rugged conservatives in the audience.) Anyway, the answer is simple: Animorphs were very popular and since nanobots are still beyond the scope of toymakers, designing and marketing the toys as Transformers was kind of a no-brainer.
>>
>>11220545
Animorphs was popular at the time and trying to expand beyond being just books, which is why they had the live action show for a little while there. I would like to know how someone at Hasbro decided to do this crossover though.
>>11220708

RE: Drill hands: More characters need hands that switch out for tools/weapons. Always a fun play feature, especially with 5mm ports.

I super agree. all those cool predacons with weird hands, it'd be nice if they had normal hands too. They kinda tried to with Sky Shadow.
>>11221255
drill knees are fucking amazing. I am also a fan of chainsaw knees ever since that one Batman Beyond episode
who has drill knees?
there's lots of drill hand guys i know of.. Drill Bit, Transmetal Inferno, uhh one i'm forgetting.. Armordillo doesn't, but you KNOW he can still dig with those huge claws.

>>11222654
i went to Target for halloween candy at the end of september and again at the end of october
I saw heavily marked down dragon megatron (cryotek is fucked) and some TF ONE stuff.
and this store has FREQUENTLY had literally two transformers in it. and not just because that's all that was left, it was just copies of 2 of them. that was all they were selling at the time.
>>
>>11222663
>heavily marked down dragon megatron
It's full fucking price here on amazon.ca, and it was only slightly on sale before

What is even happening, I know TRUs had their TF aisles shrinking more and more every year
>>
>>11222636
He was $40 last year on sale. Expect that again come black friday time.
>>
>>11222674
this target is run pretty poorly. last time i went there, i finally let myself splurge on an icee even though 2 bucks is kind of a lot for a cup of carbonated slush. i just love em. There were no cups. I asked if I was supposed to get a cup from the counter, they said no, I can only buy it if i use the special cups with UPC barcodes on em. So while there's plenty of the stuff left, they can't sell any to me due to a lack of cups. Fucking baffling.
>>
>>11222646
yeah ravage is okay, but too big to fit in Legacy Soundwave. You can stick Dr. Wu Megatron in the passenger seat of the Thundermachine.

Growing up, the cool kids played with GI Joe and the gay kids played with TF. Interesting to see this has never changed.
>>
>>11222700
I feel like there's a very important point I was making that, possibly due to autism and an inability to abstract or connect seemingly unrelated concepts, you have missed.
>>
>>11222701
that's.. not what the stereotype was..
transformers kids were perma-virgins, gi joe kids were fags. because the cast of GI Joe is approximately the Village People. Venture Bros riffed on that pretty hard.
>>
>>11222706
>taking ANYTHING the gay ass Venture Bros does as gospel
Whats it like being a perma-virgin? Do you even desire to live?
>>
>>11222710
they were riffing on public opinion. that entire show is just 'the shit kids made up when we were kids and hung out together'

I'm excited for the release of Transformers One Starscream eventually. I really like the additional black on his body, and he doesn't look too top-heavy, so I hope the toy reflects that.

it's weird that no version of grimlock since, to try to use this transformation scheme, has gotten the tail even a fraction as satisfying. and it's still not that good, just kind of okay for an oldtimey stompy dino.

>>11220545
The animorph toys were based.
>>
>>11224405
I love his new leader, but yeah that tail is way too fat.
>>
>>11224408
we need to just accept that any tail-to-legs grimlock is gonna have.. pretty thin legs. That's fine. For one thing, move the tailtips to the INside surface of the legs, to fill them out so they aren't just flat.

man we talk a lot about proportions in here, but they REALLY found a way to make this look like the hulk as a transformer. He is just perfectly massive. They did a great job. and that's a clever way of folding up the tank treads. Your new head is icing on the cake

whoa, forward-swept wing jet, very nice. and the wings end up on his legs!!

>>11224751

This was one of the only Marvel Crossovers Transformers that I thought looked actually like a Transformer, aside from the head. So I replaced it and boom. I envision him as a character they drop in on a battlefield to absolutely decimate everything and pick him up after they trigger a shutdown sequence.

When the fuck are they going to give us Bluelock already? Or a modern Hero Prime, given we at least got Hero Megs back in TR? What about Cryotek or Razorclaw? So many no-brainer, virtually zero-effort repaints Hasbro could make to literally print money, yet they seem to be outright refusing to do them. Why?

>>11224800
i imagine tigerhawk is shelfwarming due to him sucking so hard, and i've SEEN dragon megatrons littering the stores, so that probably discourages them.
>>
>>11224829
It pisses me off that TM2 Megs glutting is cockblocking me from Cryotek when it's their own damn fault for repacking it one wave after it first shipped, in the first wave of the next toyline, one that stores always overorder literally right after everyone already bought it.

Is that a funny way of saying ‘shoulda just bought it even though she was pissed’? Yup. Shoulda just grabbed it. I know better but I did avoid a possible meltdown so whatever. I’ll probably end up wasting a bunch more gas going back to find it gone tomorrow lol
The day wasn’t a total bust. Earlier in the shopping trip I found another Earthspark Grimlock and I decided Iike the mold enough to try again after my first copy’s QC issue. 2nd copy is perfect! 1st copy really is defective. Even after trimming some plastic the backpack still springs out of place no matter what I do. Happy to have a perfect copy and the broken one is going back to the store

well the other side of that is "if you really care more about her feelings than the toy, then don't go get it" but i'm not tryin to bust any chops, i feel for ya.

Less Chineese bootlegs and less DEI at the toy companies. Hopefully all the pedos that run these companies are apprehended. That’s probably why they are doing so poorly all the pedos know their time is up and they are rugging the companies one franchise at a time

It's frustrating that there are KOs of several combiners but the bootleggers won't touch Computron. Please, he's the only combiner I want that I don't have.

With how the designers've been talking about SS86 Optimus and how his mold "could totally be sold at leader without the trailer", which's kinda telling me that's exactly what they plan to do some day, I really hope they do the same for both colors of Armada Optimus. Give him a standalone Voyager release as well as the full-cock Commander repaint.
I haven't really seen before what the Super Mode would've looked like in art before, only as the old toy, but seeing it now... Yeah. That's fucking sick.

>>11225289
yeah snakes are really fucked
i feel like for a snake you should just go deliberately full weird mode and/or accept more partsforming than usual
a W-shape of the middle can combine into some awkward legs, and perhaps you can detach some parts and flip them back up to the new torso..
but you're gonna have big wiggly long snake arms, there's little you can do. just lean into it, make it his thing. The snake head should absolutely be the torso, fuckit. partsform it. Makes me wanna see a less-cheaty version of Ryuseioh. Gimmy a nice long dagron where the legs form robot arms and the neck and tail turn into legs.. but do somethin new with it.
>>
>>11225287
Friend and I were discussing a BW styled dragonfly TF where the wings formed the limbs ala BM Buzzsaw, except with the arms as well. In the end we settled on this:
>Wings form limbs, rear wings form legs, forewings form arms
>Torso is formed from thorax and a bit of the base of the tail
>Back of insect becomes front of robot, legs become kibble
>Head flips up onto bug back, robot head formed from bug jaw whilst the eyes become chestplate (compound eye boobs if female lolololol)
>Tail folds up behind robot head to form TM2 Megatron style head-spine/mega-ponytail
Man, it's kinda shocking the only dragonfly TF I can think of is Tonbot/Jetstorm. A shame, dragonflies are cool.

There's TWO snake guys, and interestingly, they're both Maximals. Colada is the better known, but I feel Night Viper pulls off the transformation better. Either way, using a cobra seems to be the way to go - taking advantage of the frill for the extra mass required is a must, even if it looks ugly.
>>
>>11225301
Damn, he does look pretty interesting
>>
>>11225295
hmmm not a bad idea, in theory.. with heavy stylization on the wings like that one Beast Machines guy with the wing legs.
>thorax becomes torso
logical,
>insect head becomes chest a la Jetstorm
well now you got two torsos. That is so much of its meat taken.
the tail becoming the back of the head is pretty smart, but at least part of it should pop off as a cannon. there is a LOT of tail.
>>
>>11225303
I'd need to draw up a diagram of how it works but like, the compound eyes just form the chestplate. Hard to explain. But yeah I definitely had that guy in mind, it wouldn't be the most biologically accurate dragonfly but it'd be cool, I hope.
And yeah, maybe have the end of the tail detach and form either a gun or a melee weapon?

Did they really say this? Because that sounds like how we'll get our Nemesis Prime.

>>11225276
Scratches out of the box on his entire front. Dunno how common it was but it's happened more than a few times, even mine has it. And this could just be mine but when transformed it likes to push apart a bunch so I can only have him in bot mode. My trailer also had damage out of the box and the axe, the accessory I was most interested in using, was bent horribly and the matrix has gold over the blue. I'd like to get a new one but Im worried it'll be just as bad.
>>
>>11225319
I'd like that and a Sead Optimus redo too.

This guy is so nice, I wish Laser Prime could get this treatment.
>>
>>11225019
I love this deco so much, one of the most unique color scheme. It does make me wonder how did Optimus revert back to his original colors at the end of the show. I think it would've been better had he kept it during his supposed self-exile since it would neatly transition into his Energon body that has similar colors.
>>
>>11225324
>one of the most unique color scheme
Isn't it an Optimus Primal homage?
>>
>>11225326
And a Nemesis Prime homage considering Optimus went all out and even threw out his Matrix in the duration he had with that color scheme. It's really kind of a mixture of both color schemes.

>Because people want only the core robot in different colors although a powerlinx prime with his trailer would look sick af
The issue is that the core bot and trailer likely aren't on entirely separate molds. If they made only the core bot, they'd have a bunch of trailer pieces being pointlessly made. There's a reason all trailer-less redecos from the original Armada line used the smaller, inherently trailer-less Armada mold and not the big one designed to come with a trailer.

>I finally found a SS86 Blaster after having to buy him off fucking HLJ of all places

Fucking pisses me off. I want him because of the better paintjob than Kingdom and he's a decent figure. It also helps that Eject is no longer clear.

I reaaally don't want to reward the scalpers so here's hoping some local Targets finally get their shipment of him in.

Let's talk Action Masters, as I'm slowly working towards my goal of having a modern interpretation of them all. Which one should get a new figure next? As far as my own goals for filling in the gaps (because I'm not hunting down the Subscription service dudes like Treadshot and Circuit) here are my current plans
>Currently got/ordered: Cybertron Smokescreen (Rad), Legacy Jackpot, Botcon Kick-off, Dramatic Capture Series Mainframe, Titans Returns Krok, SG Slicer
>Rollout: Energon Landmine? Only similarities between the two really are being orange/blue "construction" autobots.
>Skyfall: Honestly might just repaint a Gundam for the memes
>Over-run: As much as I want to take the easy out and just use Energon Quickstrike, I'm not dropping $200+ on a literal who toy to represent another literal who
>Sprocket & Rumbler: These two confound me since they're the same mold, and Sprocket "has" an altmode that's basically a Cybertronian hovercar thing. The closest thing I can think of is Animated Jetfire (Which definitely works for Sprocket) and Rumbler (Which is more of a stretch)
>Treadshot: Repainted Cyberverse Deluxe Megatron w/ new 3d printed head/chest bit
>Gutcruncher: Hulk tank with new head (No this totally wasn't inspired by the post earlier ITT)
>Charger: The few vehicle details he has implies helicopter as an alt mode, but which fig to go with?
>Take-Off: This guy I really don't know how to approach. Bro has wheels on his arms but turbines on his chest, so is he plane or is he car?
>Circuit/Axer: Tracking down Axor shouldn't be too hard, just pricy. Circuit becomes tricky though, No idea what to do for him that doesn't involve paying a few hundred for his Subscription service fig.

I was thinking of repainting legacy metalhawk into skyfall with a new head (pic rel). Similar deal with the mayhem bludgeon and gutcruncher but I do like the hulk tank idea (and that other anon's posts with it). I might have to get ahold of one of those for something.

I imagine Take-Off has to have some kinda flying altmode given his name but idk if there's ever been a figure of a guy that turns into a plane with landing gear ending up on the shoulders.

For Charger maybe TR Highbrow as a base?

He's also got a hidden, 3-fingered clawed hand hidden behind his beast head. Can't hold anything in it, but it's a cool detail. Also, he's basically Senator Armstrong from MGRR as a Transformer in terms of personality and profession.
>>
>>11225479
my feeling is, the wings as chest fins are cool (but deserved some slots to fit into)
the wings becoming a claw is decently okay, good weapon, weird that it adds kind of another 'head' but whatever.
doing BOTH and leaving zero wings on his back, just two lizard arms? no way. And the lizard head hand sucks.
>>
>>11225497
>And the lizard head hand sucks.
The lizard head is not his hand.
>>
>>11225501
it's still the back of his hand. but yes that claw is a decent attempt at a compromise.
for the record, i am completely in favor of head-forearms. let the jaw open up and a hand pops out. or have the head slide down onto what used to be its neck, revealing a fist. whatever.

The new Knight Rider one makes sense. Giving KITT a robot mode is the logical next step for an AI as advanced as he was.

oh no no, I see what you're saying now. pull-down thighs as in the opposite of what t-rex megatron has.
I was talking about the old transformers where the leg slides into the shin for vehicle mode, then extends out for robot mode.
Yes yes now that you say that, it does look like maybe the thighs are meant to pull up, and fit better in that groin.
>>
>>11226223
Yeah if it is the pull up/down type thing, its a bit worrying since it being too tight might cause stress on the plastic if you're not pulling it correctly
probably will be nothing to be worry about though
>>
>>11226226
shit's so finnicky.. it's crazy being a fan of both action figure robots and model kit robots, you want such different shit.. if something is going to have a lot of friction joints, keeping it light helps a lot, and if it's motorized, all the moreso having decently flexible plastic so nothing destroys itself if it's slightly offcenter.

Don’t get me wrong for a second, I love all eras of Transfotmers, but the live action stuff has a certain special appeal that is lost on many. The entire aura of the live action stuff is so much more brutal and “mature” sometimes it makes the G1 stuff feel “soft” to me. Also another awesome factor of the movie stuff is you get an officially listened alt mode that’s basically a model car instead of characters that turn into a stack of blocks.

Got my Comic Straxus from a questionable ebay seller. I'm honestly shocked it arrived, though the seller seems to be trying to scam (used Fedex and wrote the wrong name on the package).

Anyway, Straxus is a pretty good toy. Despite the Galvatron mold being released a few times, it's still nice and tight. My only real complaint is not including a more comic accurate pickaxe and not remolsing a bit more (redoing the thighs and remolding the torso a bit so I'd resemble his cannon mode more.

Sure, except his singular accessory also sucks, his alt mode is a fucking mess, his transformation isn't fun and his proportions are so lanky and shitty and take away all the coolness from his movie model. It really sucks because I like his design but the toy is just so disappointing and there is no good alternatives

How the fuck did this even happen? How could your production be such a mess that someone comes in at the last moment and says “you’re updating all these designs immediately and I don’t care if it’s too late to change the toys”. I bet there were so many arguments and fights it must’ve been nuts

>>11226456
I really wish they had come up with a super mode for Armada Megs that made him feel like the equivalent to Armada Optimus. The Tidal Wave "strap a shitload of guns onto him" mode always felt like kind of an afterthought. Even in the cartoon they used it like once or twice and then Optimus just made sure to not use the Super Mode that often so every fight with Megs didn't just look like the equivalent of Arnold bullying a manlet or something.

>>11226468
nonsensical production stuff seems common with Transformers, like how Beast Wars had Tigerhawk where by the time they made up their minds whether or not he would get a toy they already animated the character joining and dying immediately.

Lio Convoy and Galvatron both feel like conceptual designs that had for another, nonBW line they had an idea for and reworked as BW style toys. Maybe not so much Lio, since he's all organic, but takara made up plans for gimmicks in the Beast era Hasbro said no to due to budget or space reasons.
With galvatron he really feels like a Brave toy they slapped a BW era head on. Lio, while I doubt he would be this specifically, does seem a bit like the Gridman figures in proportion and feel.

It still bugs me that that's the only existing piece of merch for T-AI. Not only is it essentially a statue, and that it's unabashedly strictly coomer material (seriously, she's a hologram. Why would a hologram have anything rendered under its clothing, and why would it need to bathe?), but she's also been sculpted to look...questionably younger than she actually appears to be on the show, for reasons. Even if someone had the balls to get this thing, you could never display it openly where someone might see it.
All I want is a little figure of her to put with my Omega Prime...

>you could never display it openly where someone might see it.
I literally have had all five of these, including the T-AI one, on my shelf for years. And I don't even have coomer stuff. Just transformers on my shelves. The other four look cool, and the T-AI one is so ridiculous that it's too much goofy fun to hide it. One time my sister in law, who doesn't care about transformers, came over and when she eventually noticed it, she latched onto it, loving it, going on about how it's "so cute and so funny."

Cringing at what's silly fun is the real cringe. There are a lot of things to be uptight and embarrassed about, but this ain't one of 'em. Every time I hear someone go off about how awful that T-AI mini-statue is, it reeks of insecurity. (And possible over-compensation with projection too.)

>>11226765
My girlfriend thought this fig of her was cute, and laughed at the peeping Optimus when she noticed it, so I personally have no reason to feel uncomfortable owning it.
>>
>>11226786
>You have no idea what it means to be a real nerd.
I'm not a hermit. I have company over quite often. the figure is depicted in a way that isn't necessarily suited for social gatherings. Just because I know she's a holographic avatar for a literally several million year old AI, that doesn't mean any normies I have over will be quite so understanding.
>>11226806
I'm fine with nudity. I'm not fine with nudity on what looks like (but isn't actually) a character of questionable age, and I'm definitely not fine with putting it with my Omega Prime, a display piece that's meant to be shown off.

Also by technicality, these're Leaders but frequently sell for Voyager-or-less prices: Legacy G1 Galvatron/GenSelects Galvatron, and Legacy Armada Megatron (and prolly his repaint soon, Armada Galvatron).

I'll never understand the thought process and design philosophy with that line. The articulation was subpar, certain parts on figures where removable for no reason (arcee's chestplate, cheetor's cheeta head), all the figures were made out of a weird rubbery plastic, and the scaling was all over the place.

I have Legacy Soundwave (the original one, the cleaned up reissue from Siege) and no cassettes.
Do you guys think it is worth it to get the new leader release and double-dip on Soundwave himself to get 3 of the cassettes right off the bat? Or stick with the Legacy and chase different tapes down on the secondary market? I bought 86 Frenzy on ebay last night so he's coming either way.

what was the thing like RED that was during the movies? That one we REALLY had our hopes up, because the movie designs are so hard to get right in toys, and I swear they tried even less than RED.
I remember the wiki getting mad at me for adding criticism of them, even though other articles for flawed toys get to have those.
>>
>>11227699
I'm not too bothered by Soundwave's alt mode either way, it's more about his cassette minions for me. Like, do I want to track down Rumble, Ravage, etc online or get them in one shot? Buzzsaw is cooler than Laserbeak to me, so there's that.
Funny enough all the Soundwaves seem slightly off to me. Like my Legacy Soundwave isn't really the right shade of blue, he looks almost black unless there's a bright light on him (but not black ENOUGH to pass for a Soundblaster, which would have been cool).

Help me out, /tfg/. I randomly remembered a transformer figure I had as a kid but can't find it anywhere online based on what I remember.
>mostly die cast parts, had some good heft to it
>pretty sure primary color was a tone of blue maybe purple, lots of grey secondary
>I want to say decepticon but not 100%
>transformed into some basic vehicle, I think truck with a bed or similar
>bought 2nd hand at a tag sale in the early 2000's without any accessories and it already seemed a bit old
>style was reminiscent to G1
Seems there aren't thay many Transformer figures that were made with any metal so I thought that would make it easy but I haven't found anything that comes close yet.

god, the armor idea isn't even that bad. but they executed it so poorly. there's not enough of it, and part of it is ON TOP OF another transparent green piece, squandering it. I guess maybe that's the holo generator. the sideways-ass fins on the shoulders do nothing. this really could have worked.
It's also kind of conspicuous when the cockpit ISN'T transparent when transparent plastic is our entire thing. Though given that part of it becomes his fucking FEET for some reason.. maybe wouldn't have worked out.

Yeah, and he has this huge piece of back kibble that just flops down and juts out about a leg's length behind him instead of that just being his back for some reason.

RED was an in-house line made by the very TF team that did the last 4 TF lines up to that point

>>11228226
All the Mainline Target 4 packs had that theme of one Autobot with three baddies. No idea why but it was a theme throughout these 4 years.
>>
>>11228688
more of a railgun. the copter blades form a little enclosement and there's a little wee barrel that comes out
>>
>>11228226
>>11228815
No offense to decepticon lovers, but generally heroes sell more than villains. People will more likely buy an autobot over a decepticon 90% of the time, how it is with any series really, so it's common to sell bad guys packed with good guys.
>>
>>11228815
>RED was an in-house line made by the very TF team that did the last 4 TF lines up to that point
disagree
>>
>>11228838
my left ass, i've always had twice as many bad guys, because they're always a lot more interesting
also, due to how shows work, there's generally way more bad guys since we focus on the same team of heroes every time but you can add new bad guys all the time.
>>
>>11228837
The 4 blades come together yes but there is no smaller inner barrel. Also the barrel spins and there is a shield on the front. It’s a minigun.

>>11228839
>disagree
"Disagree"? It's not a matter of opinion. RED *was* made by Hasbro. It wasn't licensed out or anything. Maybe you're thinking of the Super7 Ultimates, which were a similar concept, but don't by a licensed company? (Which when you think about it, it was kind of a jerk thing for Hasbro to license out another company to make non-transforming action figures of TF characters, and then make the same thing themselves, basically competing against their own license.)
>>
>>11228869
Super Seven didn't make overlap outside the "in everything" guys.
>>
>>11228869
nah
>>
>>11228874
Super7 had 13 unique characters for Ultimates, and four of them were those "in everything guys." That's a 30% overlap. Then when you include the redecos/remolds of those characters, you get eight out of the 17 total releases, which is 47%. That's a LOT of overlap. Almost half of all Super7's Ultimates were characters also released at a cheaper cost for RED.

It really depends on if they are any good to me. Megatronus looks pretty sweet. At any rate I think there will be collector value in the future. But, unless like 9/13 end up being awesome, I'm probably only gonna emd up buying a couple.

I think it's a combination of that and also the Hasbro team leaning into it
More and more often we see new toys borrowing just bits and pieces from older ones, Like Legacy Starscream reusing Seige Starscream's shoulder joint structure.

It's as good a truck mode as MP10, don't see what everyone's making fun of.

They probably prioritized the robot mode and the stripe would have wound up on the sides of his arms. Which is sort of missing the forest for the trees, but eh, Hasbro is always going to cut a paint app if they can.

I did notice a lot of Optimuses coming out this year
Figured it was just for the 40th, even if Hasbro never officially made a comment on it

i love optimus wearing a nightshirt and cap and carrying a little torch around at night.

Finally, this PF Inferno custom took for goddamn ever
I learned a lot from customizing Antagony, and tried simplifying it a bit. The ant legs still look better than they did before, but they could be improved with a bit more sawing and gluing, i'm just so tired of putting power tools near my fingers.
I left some red details on because they would be really hard to paint, and I think yellow, bronze, gunmetal, and red work together. I painted clear yellow over Scavenger's purple head area, along with the Inferno purple parts, and it made this neat kinda rose-bronze. and the green eyes match. I think this is pretty alright. callin him Carrion

I was going for this kinda ant. I could have hit it with a honey colored candy coat, but ehh it doesn't need it.

What about it?
>>
Working on a custom now. Character is a female Autobot* car, stuck up rich girl type. Can't think of a good color scheme that would look nice (and one that doesn't overlap Arcee) but she's supposed to be from G2 so I've been looking at the G2 Go-Bots and Spy Changers for inspiration. Any ideas are appreciated.

>*Originally but she's now a Decepticon turncoat who flipped sides due to being a flighty thrill seeker. Didn't want to go all in on the classic Pink/Purple/White Decepticon colors since that's not her origin.

What about dark red as a main color and light pink or yellow as accent?
>>
>>11230132
I'll give that a shot and see how it looks, thanks. Here are some of my other layout ideas (forgive how messy they are; I'm just trying to plan out colors for painting, not do a full digibash)

Not at all. He's an utter disappointment of an "updated" Fort Max. He's missing several features and doesn't even have a correct base mode.
>>
>>11230108
Dark Blue with gold secondary color.

>>11230098
don't take it in a bad way. Still looks great

The PC ports are up on archive.org and have been for a couple years now, if they were bugged someone would've commented by now.
