ok, everybody say "che... ...ese"? Damn it Wreck-Gar!

got wreck-gar, perceptor, prime and bumblebee from bbts today. Wreck-gar: FINALLY! i like how his alt mode is a transformer sized motorcycle, hes big and bulky in both modes, and his crazy grin is just awesome. hes a bit fiddly and difficult to get into bike mode, but the result is worth the effort. highly recommended! Perceptor: really awesome toy. the alt mode is ok, but the bot mode is outstanding! the chrome is gorgeous! a definite leg-up on the united version. the poseability isnt the best, but when have you seen perceptor do much more than rub his chin anyway? if you like perceptor or chrome or complicated transformations, he is recommended Bumblebee: hes the same mold as classics bee, but molded in a much nicer yellow color, its pretty much G1 Bee in movie bee colors, which actually looks nice. im going to use him to replace my classics bee, the orangey yellow with the sparkles looks nicer to me than the more lemony yellow color of classics bee. if you already have Bee, you might not want him unless you like the richer color. Laser Prime: really ugly paint in alt mode, but so ugly it becomes cool again!. the wheels and shape of the cab are decidedly chunky and looks better in person. although, it doesnt hold together super well. it comes packaged with 2 big clear ties holding it together, and when removed, the panels slip about and have trouble settling in to their designated spots. with some efort, the seams can be worked together, but the reward is not worth the effort. however, bot mode is just fantastic. theres some weird kibble bits like the doors on the inside of the forearms and the extra long heel spurs, but they are easily ignored when you get him into a good pose, which is easy to do, and comes naturally for the toy. the only hangups i find are the shoulder armor, in particular the connection tab that connects them in alt mode bangs into the torso, slightly hindering the right arms poseability; however this can be worked around with some creativity. oh also, light piping EVERYWHERE. recommended, a decent if not great deluxe figure.

my coneheads are complete! seekers too! ghost starscream KO hologram mirage KO closeup of thundercrackers foot. i think it might be metal rescue autobots! i forgot to put blades in, damnit this was a friggin pain to put together, but whatevs, my G1 cars. soon jazz tracks and wheeljack will be added! heres windburn with combaticon limbs. looks good, no? here he is with his armor mode. i would like the minicons more if they were solid grey and black like targetmasters. im tempted, but im not getting those japan exclusives! heres my movie autobots waiting for kup, arcee, wreck-gar and protector armor to show up (i have another classics hot rod for the armor upgrade. this one is gonna stay hot rod so he can pal around with kup!) heres my movie deceps, waiting for scourge and his sweeps!(yes thats starscreams corpse)

RoboHitler and the New Nazi Party vs. the Autobots should have been the plot to the third TF movie

ah ok, such a simple solution. yeah, i tried the tank mode and wasnt really impressed with the way all of the cannons just sit together in a trio on top. however the headmaster can sit in the cockpit if you leave the hatch open, it looks pretty cool.

awesome pic as always DevMaz! the add on set really has made Hardhead one of my favorite toys, if not current favorite. have you found a spot to attach the remaining block into robot mode? it bugs me that I've got a head and that block floating about. speaking of the old head, anybody have any good ideas on what to do with it?

you seriously need to get your hands on some stikfas, ersico! that rhino guy is awesome and the other one reminds me of an enemy from half life

got hothead in today, had to buy tiny screwdrivers to get the old head off, but the new one pops on securely and looks badass. i wish hardhead was a more prominent character because his toy is excellent!

i LOVE RiD Scourge/Black Convoy, and that pose is so awesome i had to try it myself. I picked up the japanese one new in box off ebay for like 40 bucks shipped, definitely proud of it. your powered up Prime looks incredible with primer, do you intend to paint it up someday?

i totally regret selling mine. maybe ill pick up another someday, thanks for the awesome pics!

damn right

awesome, pharaoh black, but i think you got jazz and skids dialogue confused!

somehow i doubt the likelihood of all the dinobots getting MP treatment, only a few of us would buy them all, and collectors are in the extreme minority of hasbros consumers in the first place. about those dang ties, the paper ones are even worse than the twist ties! you cant snap them without possibly damaging the toy as well, so youve got to untie the knots if you dont have a means of cutting them. i use a pair of model kit nippers to free my toys from the vines
