I'm taking a new direction on how to approach the articles on TFSource by Maz. Lumping them all into one thread hinders conversation when a new article is posted about something slightly different. I also wanted to try to get some more interaction about each type of article, and I hope I have figured out a way to do that.

 

To start off, the latest article I did not bump the Megathread, but had the link in there. And that is Part 1 in a discussion about Prototypes. You can read it here:

Wouldn't ya know, while typing this up, Part 2 dropped!

Here is your chance to talk about prototypes. Maybe you have questions about how they are used, or how they were used to help bring Transformers to the world originally?

 

Do you own any prototypes? If so, post your pictures!

Do you have any stories about some? Maybe saw some at a convention? Let's talk about it.

 

I have 1 prototype. It is one of those "final draft" type ones. It is Armorhide from the RID Camo Ruination set. A few of these popped up on Ebay prior to the giftset being released and I lucked out and was able to get one. Unfortunately for me, it looks just like the regular version... therefore I imagine no one would actually belive me. :tflaugh

i have a proto energon barricade i got off ebay a few years back...alas its back home as i could bring my entire collection on the move...especially since im going home in february

A webcam image of this figure was one of the first images I posted when I joined this group... Thought I'd post a newer pic... :)
