Thanks for posting this for me.

Just have to point out this series of images with Unicron and his minions that I thought all of you would enjoy. Unicron doesn't need any Mini-Cons when he's got Sweeps that will attach to the ports on his wings.

Awesome galleries! Any chance you will be updating with comparisons to the G1 figures? I'm wondering how big the color difference is between Kups.

Three questions. One, why are the Sweeps numbered 2, 6, and 7? Two, are there any differences between the three? Three, if there are, do they warrant the need for them to be numbered as such?

Unfortunately, no. I don't have enough time to do any further comparison pics of these figures at this time. I've got about 40 or 50 ROTF galleries that I need to finish up and then it's back to completing the galleries that I missed earlier this year while working on the site's redesign. It's tough working on all of these galleries, maintaining the site, having a full time job and juggling all of that with a family life as well (especially with a 2 month old).

At least two of those Sweeps were referenced by their full designation in one of the Transformers cartoon episodes (Sweeps Six and Seven in "Call of the Primitives"). The convention folks were also kind enough to give each of the Sweeps their own unique bio and slight (very slight) artwork modification. I thought it was awesome that they did that so I spent the time doing separate galleries for each figure, despite the fact that there are no differences between their figures.

Best I can offer you is this comparison at this time (pic from Targetmaster Kup reissue gallery at http://www.seibertron.com/toys/gallery. ... =0&start=0):

Wow, are you ever busy! Alright no worries.

That does the trick, I'd just wondered if there would be variations caused by different lighting, but probably not. Thanks again for all the hard work you do for the site.

Wish there was some way I could help you. I always enjoy checking out your galleries. You're an excellent photog and can really tell that you enjoy what you're doing by all the time and detail you put into your photos. Congrats on the 2 month old, seems like just yesterday mine was that age and I just found your site here. Now mine's going to be 3 next month. Trust me, you are in the easy part right now. Mine is having full conversations with me about Transformers now so I got to say I'm enjoying this part bunches. But once more to finish up, I wish you the best with all your joys and endeavors. :grin:
