hah, and I love them so much I'm figuring out what Transformers designs to do for the next pair as we speak!

May I humbly suggest a sexy but accurate G1 Arcee cosplay? You will hear our collective fangasm way over there. <3 <3 <3 <3


(Or be overly hardcore and do a RotF Arcee cosplay! XD )
Manual emoticons because they are so random....

THAT IS SUCH A GOOD IDEA.

The ROTF version would be exceedingly difficult to draft a design of from Illustrator scratch, I might get to because that would be EPIC, but for now you inspired me to at least make a mock of what Arcee G1 leggings could look like.

Thanks for the inspiration, I'm super excited for my next pair of leggings now

Overquoting to point out how awesome it look! O_o

By the waw, a RotF Arcee (or any bike sister) cosplay would be quite epic... because, better start practicing riding and staying on an unicycle for hours on end!

I just ordered that shirt a few days ago and love the design. I got a kick out of the Superman/Autobot symbol in your sig. Looks pretty cool.

For me, I've gotten most of my grails. Brave Max, New Year Convoy and Powermaster Prime reissues (and recolors of the mold) top my list of some of my favorites. I regret not having the extra money to buy Botcon 06 Laserbeak when I was there. It's still a hole in my collection and the hunt continues.

Grandus of Battlestars Team (have Starconvoy,Skygarry and Sixliner)

5 Dinobots

Abominus and Computron

G1 Scorponok

Victory saber and Dezaras

I will get them someday............

I really want a Energon Wingsaber to combine with my Energon Optimus Prime.

However, he don't turn up often on Ebay. And when he do, he's expensive as hell and I'm always broke.

One day... One day...

g1 Optimus Prime. At least one with fists. I don't even need the trailer or roller or anything. I just want a g1 optimus with his fists. It's insanely hard to find one online for less than a fortune >.> especially since money's tight

mine too

by the way i have noticed over time that the click ratchet jointed combiner socket ports in my munitioner and the shoulder blox/missle pods add on parts was gradually loosing the ability to hold a pose due to the ratchet piece the joint clicks against inside the shoulderblox/issile pods and munitioners backpack ggrinding down due to friction over time

has it happened to your set yet?

so far i have had to cannabalize the core body torso block from each of my fansproject enhanced superion maximus stealth fighter jet limb figures to use as a set of bases to cobble together a set of combiner port shoulder blox stand in parts s for big bruticus


take a good look ath te missile pods for vortex

see that front wall panel with the missile rounds molded into it?

i had to salvage that part from each of hte original missile pods + the top wall of each missile pod with flaps also

as for the two classics superion stealth fighter jet limb figures

i had to completely remove the arms legs lower body chest and back pack parts with a dermil to make the jetbot body have a basic blox shape

with the missile pods front wall being moutned into place where the jetbot body bloxs head used to be and the top wall with flaps salvaged from the original missile pods with flaps beiung set up on top of the jetbot body blox

it aint pretty in the least but the new ratchet jointed combiner ports work liek a charm fro big bruticus new shoulder blox/,missile pods

to be honest it gives my bruticus a bit of a battle damaged makeshift repair on the spot sort of look

as soon as i get my ands on all 6 figures to tfclubs project hercules that will be my new holy grail

When it comes to canon toys, there's really nothing I want which couldn't be picked up on eBay or with a couple of words to the local fan club. Assuming I had the money, of course.

My grail is a toy which doesn't exist yet outside of my head and a bunch of 3D renderings. I have the designwork done on ten of the modes and most of the remaining two, and then I'm going to need to try some 3D printing to make all the parts work smoothly together. Finally, if it all comes to pass, I'd want to commission some of the rather spectacular kitbashers in the fandom to add interesting greeblies, surface detail, panel lines, and so on, and finally a detailed paint job.

THEN, and only then, will I have my grail.

(Honestly, if I could get this thing built, I'd really like to then scale it down to Deluxe or Basic size, get about a hundred printed off, and use them as armybuilders or interesting freebies to the fandom for anyone interested.)

makes you wish fansproject would make replacement parts for these guys.
