Kinda ironic, Octane was just appeared for like, what? An episode or two? And got a Universe toy? While the most prominent triple-changer Blitzwing got no Universe treatment? 
Well, he WAS an awesome character with two great Alt Mode choices. I think the main reason why we don't have Classics Blitzwing yet is because his G1 transformation basically spelled out how to do a Classics Blitzwing, so he's not a challenge to the engineers the same way Octane and Astrotrain (considering that they changed his train mode) were.
Well to be honest lack of challenge to the engineers should be a reason for them to make him not for them not to make him, same with Springer how could they miss the mark so completely both times? His G1 version with more articulation would be great.
The engineer's mind craves a challenge. Otherwise it gets stagnant. And even if what I've said isn't true, we can always hope that they're saving the best for last.
You know your talking about the same people who went from the intricate complicated movie line straight to Animated right!?!

Yes. And the Animated line is BEAUTIFULLY engineered, even if the plastic quality is lackluster. Simplicity is underrated. The true engineer can solve the most complex problem with a simple solution and he will find ORGASMIC joy in having done so.

Hey the simple answer is normaly the best, but these things look like they're made out of bubblegum, and fall far short of the mecha they're supose to be. The transformations are alright on some, but the lackluster designs and poor joint issues make me wanna smack these engineers upside the head and tell them to be orgasmic on there own time, cause what comes after that, yep, a sandwhich and a nap.
Leave it at that and the next line will probably be a Happy Meal toy in a Leader box.

I did in my old apartment, I had a crane, turret base for Fort Max, the rest of Metroplex's Autobot city, repair bays a store, everything!!!
Sadly this apartments toy room isn't big enough for that though.
But yeah, Construx are awesome, and you can buy them by the pound on Ebay. Very recommended for cheap easy display materials.
Simplicity at it's complex finest.

The joint problems are QC issues, not engineering bugs. And I don't see how they fall short at all. Lockdown is sexy stylized with incredible height and looks like he walked out of the show and into my hands. Cyb. Prime is just pure genius and incredibly show accurate. Black Arachnia, though I will admit that her toy is quite lackluster in the transformation, is still incredibly show accurate.
OK, but how come when a building falls the first poeple to have fingers pointed at them are the engeneers?
Different scale, same principal. Anyone who's ever built anything can tell you, a hair line imperfection at point A will lead to a drastic problem at point Z which will usualy cause the project to have to go back to point A or be modified extentively.
Workers are rarely blamed for an architect's failed dream. Anything designed and built falls subject to this rule.
That said, I had alot more pics to upload but the site wouldn't let me so heres a slide, hope you enjoy

I used planks and milkcrates to keep that old school "set up with what ever you can" feel. Nostalgia at it's finest. I will say this though. The set up wasn't as easy as it looks. It took a coulpe weeks to get the placement right, with alot of trial and error in the balancing. Trypticon and Metroplex shared the same large plank for a while till I decided it would be safer to discard that piece and set each base up on it's own tower.
It's small scale, but it's also done right. If the origional layout tipped and fell, it wouldn't be the materials problem, or the weight of the figures. It would be mine and mine alone for not thinking every aspect through.
The display is solid, it was engeneered properly, which leads to minimal QC issues in the layouts functionality. Although it may look crude, with proper planed backdrops that will be easy to install, this simplistic display will soon look detailed while still being easily modified.
It's a job done right, as every one should be.

Man, I don't know about this guy... he looks like a bunch of purple and gray parts randomly stuck themselves together, but these pictures do make me wonder if I'd like him. 
This is rather anti action of me but it was fun to do
I'm having an alt mode week..... and I need to dust a little 
:
Bought this guy new @ retail and I think this only the 3rd time I've ever put him in tank mode.

Plus mine's missing his crab legs. I may have ate them.
I really like all three of his modes.
I can say this: Triple changers in the TM line were great! Not much in the way of sacrificing beast or robot mode for the third mode.

I'd need more convincing...I really want to like Rampage.
Rampage's tank mode is my favorite, and I normaly leave him in it. It's not bulky, cumbersome, can't tip over, is well detailed and show acurate.
Actualy my only quam with the figure are the way the beast legs hang off his arms in bot mode. Still he is awesome. Once they got serious about the line, the Beast Wars figures where no joke. They look great, and pretty much all of mine which are 10yrs or older are still holding up realy well.
Nice job on that line!

I left my camera at work, but my Nem Primes showed up today(only opened 1 though), I wanted to set something like this up. After all it's very rare I buy the same figure this many times, and each version looks great. I'm skipping the Shattered Glass version though, a crooked slogan and purple aren't enough to make me wanna pay BotCon prices.
Now I just want the City Commander set to come out already
