His current pose on my shelf... ~Matt Booker

That's a creepy looking loogie. ~Matt Booker

No, I still haven't done a repaint yet, but that's a close guess! From my site: The recent repaint of classics Mirage into movie Fracture classics Crasher was very successful in the collector community. Perhaps a little too successful. Reasoning that it worked for Mirage, HasTak execs decided that fans must like gender bended repaints. And so it was that Trixie taught us the real truth behind hood chests… Unfortunately, the character was not a g1 homage so fans hated it. Released in Japan as WonderChest Wonderfest Classics Arcee, the figure was a resounding succe

What? That's the only action pose I could post without censoring. :tflaugh Very nice shot of Lio Convoy. He's often said to be particularly hard to photograph, isn't he? Also, those wst dinorobots are awesome. Just how small are they, though? (Like, maybe a comparison of Grimlock and animated Grimlock.) ~Matt Booker

Ratchet and Oilslick demonstrating that two staggering drunks can combine to form one stable stance. It might be a little late for Christmas stuff, but click the picture or visit MattBooker.info for my Twas The Night Before Christmas parody. :D ~Matt Booker

That's f'in sweet, Sami! Hmm... I might as well ruin the mood with a followup to your awesome image with something I put together at 3am. Turkeygon, anyone? Happy Thanksgiving! ~Matt Booker

A Blitzwing teaser image. :tflaugh ~Matt Booker

Uncomfortable sarcasm shall be dealt with accordingly! ~Matt Booker

:tflaugh *resists the urge to create more photocomic slash parodies* While I'm on the subject, I still love this picture. ~Matt Booker

Omega Setninel had a much better color scheme. To the point I might've kept the body if I'd got him instead. (Though I think I like the head on Omega Supreme better...) Seriously, I REALLY like the headmaster for this. I'm surprised I held off buying him at full price. ~Matt Booker

:tflaugh "Hurry Geoffry, to Toys R Us!" :dclol *does not regret buying Energon Omega Supreme for $11 at Walmart* Of course, I eventually got rid of Omega's body. I only wanted the headmaster. ~Matt Booker

I use Paint Shop Pro 9 (back when it was still owned by Jasc). It may be the poor man's Photoshop, but I like it better. As for the technique, I've thought about doing it for a while and finally tried to come up with something for my Ironhide guide, but I was sleepy and did it kind of quickly. I did figure out pretty much how I wanted to do it, though, and the Bumblebee picture came out very nice. (Notice how Bumblebee actually tfs in between Shockwave's arms.) When I get Blur, expect more of these! :D ~Matt Booker

Bumblebee's Revenge! ~Matt Booker

He's got fuzzy slippers on! (Sorry, just watched Bender's Game last night and was thinking about the Professor.) ~Matt Booker

:D ~Matt Booker

It looks really cool from those angles. From the side, it looks like half a jet with a backpack. Also cool looking is the gerwalk mode, but in person it looks kind of dumb. But, I've never been partial to those modes anyway. ~Matt Booker

How did you do that with his fingers? Or is that just photo editing? Photo editing. :D ~Matt Booker

MOST AWESOME PICTURE EVAR? Quite possibly. ~Matt Booker

Blitzwing is just glad he doesn't have nipples. ~Matt Booker

Count yourself lucky that you haven't carved the middle piece, as you might not need to if you do my backpack mod. :) Still, I can't argue much about a second cannon for him. As for Ratchet... I may do that. I want to say it's likely that Hasbro make a Ratchet, but usually for classics it's been Hasbro first and Takara second. Ratchet's the first classic to come out over there first. But, Hastak does love repaints, and Ratchet would be well received. ~Matt Booker

Thanks! :D It's been a while since I watched the movie, so I had to look up Ironhide's quote. No, I'm still scared of painting. :emo Why I got him is kind of complicated, but there are two main reasons. 1, A popular mod for him is to carve the central gray piece so it doesn't hit against the bumper. This lets you slide the hips forward more. In addition, you're supposed to carve the top of the crotch piece so the bumper has more clearance. That didn't solve the issue, and carving the top of the crotch doesn't do much because it leaves the hips higher and they hit the bump

"I just wanted to show him my cannons." :D (My Ironhide guide got a bit delayed by my job search, but it is coming!) ~Matt Booker

Thank you! :D ~Matt Booker
