Huh! They loaded up for me on the first try yesterday.

I always figured Swerve was Scottish.

Sorry. I guess you posted them this morning?

Why does this morning feel like yesterday already?

I guess I looked at them somewhere 7 - 7:30ish AM today.

Anyway, they loaded right up for me.

Hosting sites and URLs can be weird with different DNS, routers, firewall rules, so on and etc. At least one person on the boards complains about not being able to see images linked from imgbb.

I was just being lazy, but it was super fast to download and re-upload the images in the long run.

Some of these images haven't been shared or were shared cropped and modified via instagram, so I figured my thread could use some Swerve.

Ah yes, that was quite the enjoyable journey! Long overdue to those who didn't see them during the travels

Yes, gotta love living in the future. Now consider the 300+ plus pics not including Swerve you haven't seen 8-)

So many awesome pics! Glad you and the family (Swerve counts as fam) enjoyed your trip!

I nabbed Siege Springer today and damn am I impressed. I didn't think it'd be possible to usurp T30, but he did in every way. Tight joints, dense plastic, a complex but fun, satisfying and surprisingly intuitive (for a triple changer) transformation. Can't recommend him enough. All modes are solid and interesting to get him into. Bot mode has fun posability and he comes with a tone of accessories.

So Mr. Kittypaws here showed up on Friday.

Meow!

He comes with a pretty big gun!

MEW! MEW!

The biggest surprise is this little guy :shock:

A little janky but gets the jerb done.

But is anyone really here to see this lump of a plastic cat? didn't think so

HAIL TO THE KING! BLAM!

Gimme some sugar baby...

Well PredaKOng is teh awesome :BOOM:

His head lights up, well should be his eyes, but you know...

Will need to crack his noggin open and slosh some black paint around.

Here are a bunch of pics from different angles so you can get a good look at some of the improvements. Did you notice the different combiner head sculpt?

I love him and am very pleased. I cannot recommend this set enough especially if you don't have a Preadaking. The individual parts can be gotten pretty cheap now and there is even a boxed set. Now just the long wait for the sword, but until then...

PEACE!

Nice! those new hands look really good, and I like the light up head and the modification to Meow Meow's robot legs for a better combined mode back

Every bot has small improvements to filling in gaps or articulation. The obvious upgrades are the wings and hands, but the feet are larger as well. The shoulder cannons are different and depends on your point of view. I didn't care for that blunderbuss look until the whole thing was complete.

Frome what I've read the plastic quality is a little less than the OG and I've heard some people are happier with the original and the DNA kit.

I'm very satisfied and the price is just the cherry on top.

Oh no doubt, for the price I think you got a great set. Predaking is the only Titan I have spent full retail on, and that was because of the rumor that if he didn't sell well we would not get any more Titans. I am ok with the OG wings, the Preda-hands and Razor-legs are the only things I really wish mine had

PredaKOng is earning his keep.

Did you know that stickers could "mass shift"?

clown nose?

I think if the one on the front of the cab was also white outlined it would work! Looking great though! It's funny that you used a TM Autobot sticker, I actually cut around my TM Autobot labels so it fit the cutout better.

I thought I had other tiny stickers, but I used them. I wanted a black on silver but the ones I have are too big. I thought about cutting out around it then didn't. Might peel it off or TF him back into bot mode and forget it's there. Never can tell with me.

EDIT: it is silver backed BTW.
