Description
Mirage's horrible luck is a running joke in this house. He's so hapless sometimes, and no ever believes anything he says. Not even Red, whose legendary paranoia is currently being ... distracted by all the administration work I had him doing prior to the move. Me sneaking ROTF Ravage into the house behind Red's back without telling anyone probably didn't help matters either.As for Ravage himself ... he was the only part of that movie I liked even a little, and the toy is pretty sweet looking. The Thing That Bugs Me is that his head is completely immobile, which is a pain for positioning him. He literally has no spine flexibility whatsoever, and it can make him seem a little ridiculous in certain poses. That and his little buckteeth (daaawww!). He's been living in my toolbox with all my rock samples and so far, no one but Mirage has had the curiosity to go near it.

I self-medicated (ie, was drunk) to see ROTF and I *still* hated that movie like burning. I refuse to see DOTM at all and I don't usually do that point-blank. I appreciate what a lot of fans have done to the Movie-verse in fiction and it has some fascinating elements in it, but there is just so much garbage of so many varieties that those movies leave me feeling ill and ragey.
So I just enjoy the fanfiction

Tsk, tsk, tsk, you naughty. x3 Ah, who am I kidding; I sneak in candy and sandwiches into the theaters. I shouldn't judge.
Yes, Micheal Bay should not direct. I know he puts a lot of love into it (I mean, look at the freaking animation!), but he shouldn't direct. He goes a little nuts.
But, yes, I agree. It has cool stuff. Mirage, however, should never be Cliffjumper red.

Oh, that part is all ILM... they did the designs, the transformations and the animation. Michael Bay may have the say and give the final approval, but the love in those designs is all from the studio.
I refuse to consider Dino is Mirage. He's just a Movie-verse bot who turns invisible to me. Mirage is... Mirage

I will never say that the animation is not fantastic, because it is. I just wish Bay worked on the story a bit more. ;.;

Oh, don't be afraid to like the movies if you like them. I just have my own reasons for not enjoying them, but I'm aware they're very popular.

I've been getting some pretty intense comments on things I commnet on from bay haters/generay scary people who think i'm an idiot for liking it...kinda scary

It's generated a lot of heat in the fandom ... but you shouldn't be ashamed of the things you are a fan of. Just gotta find people who like the same stuff

*runs to Bayformers group* 
Yeah, *shrug* I just deleted them after a while.
Though, G1 is amazing fun for writing utter crack fanfics.
For some god unknown reason Crack in Bayformers never seems to sit 100% with me

I like the bayverse movies. Especially the most recent one. Drift was a MUFFIN and I loves!

I just got ROTF Ravage not long ago, I dislike the movie but he looked cool. And my I got DOTM Bumblebee as a gift, so it seemed like it would be funny to get Ravage.
I doubt Bumblebee appreciated it.
Poor Mirage~

Poor Raj indeed. Ravage will continue to torment our hapless noble from the shadows, I wager

Maybe he should find a Bumblebee.

I do have a Bumblebee. I don't know if Ravage has gone after him yet though. He is on the "Repair Shelf" because I got him at a flea market and he has no feet
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeouch, poor Bumblebee! D;
Ravage stays up on a shelf with Soundwave in my house. It's him and SOundwave, wall, Cliffjumper and Red Alert, wall, Optimus and Movie Bumblebee, wall, Thrust and Dirge. xD
I don't think Red appreciates me sticking him between two walls with Cliffjumper.
But I doubt any would ever risk to almost six-foot drop to get down. Unless they aim well...they may land on my bed. But Nyx would probably try and eat them.

Mine live a little closer to the ground XD Except Drift, he likes to be up high to watch all the craziness unfold. Red especially likes to be at a conversation height most of the time.
Poor Bumblebee indeed! I have no idea where I am going to find feet for him. I suppose I'll have to start stalking kitbashers to see if they'll sell me parts ...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They would prefer it, but if I were to set them any lower my Cat, Nyx, would try and eat them. Soundwave has already had a few nasty run-ins with her. Ravage hates her.
Red is probably still mad at me for accidentally dropping him a while back, it popped his right arm off. Now the joint is loose and he can't hold it up long, it just falls back to his side. And letting my Nephew get a-hold of him to pp his leg off...SOMEHOW! I don't know how...
What model is he? If you're buying online, I might be able to help you search. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Cybertronian Bumblebee, the mustard-yellow one with the pink highlights. Not my first choice, but I found him in the 2$ bin and he has such a cute little face
Your Red Alert is the Generations one, right? Mine has such trouble with his arms. They're always getting loose. I tried the super glue on the ball joint trick, but I used the wrong glue and nearly fubar'd his arm for good. I've been using nail polish to tighten the joints now, but it needs to be taken off and reapplied every now and them. I bought some glue that is supposed to be safe for plastic, but I haven't been brave enough to try it yet.
Your nephew popped his whole leg off? Right at the hip? Ouch! Poor Red!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have Cybertronian Cliffjumper, they're feet/legs are just...so...interestingly made aren't they? Let me guess, missing them at the knee joint? Cliffjumper's right leg pops off at the knee every time he Transforms.
I know what you mean~ Even Cliffjumper is ridiculously adorable! 
Yup, must just be the model. I'm afraid to try any sort of glue, I'm afraid it might make in immobile or something. Doubt he would appreciate me getting his arm stuck in one position. Nail polish? Didn't think about using that...don't think I have any, though.
Right off the hip. Took me a while repair him, too. Needless to say, he didn't like kids before. He definitely doesn't like them now. I'm sure he'd much sooner deal with our Neighbor's dog than a kid again.
Though I was never going to get it back on, though. Freaked us both out a bit.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually, it's just his feet, where they attach at the base of the heel. They don't even look like they fall off that easily. I'm perplexed as to how this happened
Super glue usually takes about thirty seconds or so to dry ... plenty of time to move the joint around so it doesn't seal. But yeah, I'm worried too. At least the nail polish I can remove and it doesn't seem to damage the plastic. It's a temporary solution at best, though, but it does make his arms less floppy. Just use clear nail polish around the ball joint and have some remover handy
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, the little black things? Yeah, they fall off a lot easier than you'd think. They fall of Cliff' every time I touch 'em.
I didn't nail polish could work as something like that. o0 I'll give it a try though. Might try super glue someday...once I get brave enough to...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahaaa ... well, he still stands up if I flip out his hubcaps, but I'd still like to get him new feet someday ...

Must be a bit awkward to stand that way...
I'm sure you could find spare parts online somewhere. I see spare parts on sale on EBay a lot, you could try there?

I'm keeping my eyes open and searching every now and then.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll look and ask around as well. Can't leave poor 'Bee hanging without his feet, after all. D;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haven't found any yet. You could always try and make some?
I've checked Ebay and other toy/part sites off Google, but haven't found any for Cybertronian 'Bee, yet.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I don't think he's high on the list for spare parts. It's okay, he can still stand and everything. I'll just keep an eye out.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
As will I~
I need to find some spare parts as well...I uh...kinda lost Red's gun...He won't be needing it anytime soon I hope. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ooh, that sucks. That's why I keep all the weapons and loose bits in a special jar
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I had 'em in a small box, but it got spilled over a lot.
We had a really bad Twister producing storm not long ago, I grabbed 'em all, threw 'em in a box, and out them in a safe (hopefully) place just in case. That's how I lost the engine thing...His was placed back in that box, spilled over, placed somewhere else, and is now missing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yeah, I can see that happening. Well, I'm glad you didn't get Twister'd, in any case
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahaha, poor Mirage. It's bad when even Red thinks you're being paranoid.
And ROTF Ravage is an awesome toy, I completely agree. Just got a hold of DOTM Lazerbeak. Also a kick-aft toy. The wings are cool, and the neck is super bendy, which I didn't expect at all. He's an awesome chicken-faced dragon thing.

Burying Red in other work kept him complacent ... or so I thought. The crossbow trap he rigged over my front door spoke otherwise

I pointed out to him that it was illegal. And he did suggest a moat but he couldn't get my landlord to approve it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Smart landlord. Sadly I can't use that defense, since we own the property here. I just tell Red the closest thing he's getting to a moat is the brook in out back yard. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm sure he'll find a way to work with that. Just beware if he tries to divert it to flow right in front of your backdoor

LOL, the buckteeth! I didn't even think of that when I first saw him but that comment made me scroll back up and look. Ah, thank you for that good laugh. I will never view ROTF Ravage the same!

He just needs a straw hat and some wheat to chew on

ROTF was god-awful, but I can't help but enjoy watching it. I think it's the Sam dying part that makes it all worth while. Although, the twins do make me want to get violent. Sadly, they are my godson's favourite. I think I need to introduce him to the Lambo twins.
And I must say that you have impeccable timing with your submissions...you always put some up when I need a laugh.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wanted to like those movies, I really did. But there's just so much hate-worthy in them that it ruins anything that could have been good. I don't care enough about Sam to even be happy about his death scene. I'd be happier if he and most of the human cast just weren't there for the most part.
Your godson must be introduced to the Lambos!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, the humans needed much less air time, and the bots more character development. hey weren't really Transformers movies, more like movies with the transformers in them. I've heard the next one is supposed to the best of the bunch.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's not saying much to me ... but I will see it and judge for myself. The previews do make it look pretty good. It does seem like they've given up the Transformer "feel" for a generic apocalyptic robot invasion of Earth but ... reserving judgment
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It does look a bit like a robo-apocalypse. But I for one would welcome our new robotic overlords...
I've heard of a few possible deaths in DOTM that already have me going "noooooooooo!"

... Not Bumblebee, I hope? He's really the only one with much personality. I can't even get into Movie Ratchet. He just looks too weird to me.

Not Bumblebee or Ratchet. Movie Ratchet isn't cranky enough!
