I remember a lot of these great photos and all their good gloriousness, and fun funniness.
But one in particular cought my fancy and rapped upon my funny bone.

(that's a cat you know?)

(I've seen cats do that too.)
But yes, the opportunity was too good for species accuracy.

That was actually last year's Auto Assembly, as I fawned over Ravage in the hotel room I was sharing with our fellow craggy Seibster. I was so in love with that little kitty. Still am, but the distance helps.

It was almost exactly a year ago that I spent a week and a bit in a flat in Amsterdam, with Evasion Mode Optimus Prime as my daily companion (and two cats). I enjoyed that photo set, so here it is again, in one post!

Can I get a list of names for the very left figure in the back, the very first figure with the 808 arms, and the one in between the two? (With the purple guns.)

And who's mister motorcycle in the second?

I'm gonna be looking for these guys on eBay pretty soon.

Respectively: ROTF Mindwipe, Skystalker and Powerdive.

And that's HFTD Scout class Brimstone, with some extra paint love.

They're all great figures, and a reminder of what the movie lines did really well when it wasn't focusing on the main casts.

Not gonna lie, I am extremely jealous of your collected art folder.

Aw shucks. :oops:

I am really quite proud of it, I'll admit. I find it quite hard to choose my favourite pieces too, as they all have some sort of story. For a while it was definitely the Nick Roche Lockdown. But that Pirrie Jhiaxus is just too gorgeous to pass up on too.. :-?

AB and the final Auto Assembly...looks like a great time was had by all! Hopefully AB wasn't the only one enjoying himself??

I just watched Thew's recap of his time at Auto Assembly it was hilarious as per usual, and touching. He is quite a character!

The UK does have another Con in the works to take AA's place correct?

Superion died today. Silverbolt leapt off the shelf, cracked a leg joint (and the head one), and took part of Fireflight with it. Alpha Bravo survives, the other two are being donated to Oxfam.

Oh well, making space for Victorion, I suppose.

OH NO! How will AB carry on?

We stand steadfast in these shelfish times, and carry on. We may be alone right now, but strength is found in the support of friends and loved ones from afar.

Also, they're plastic robot toys, I'm sure they'll be fine.
