Also, combiner images. Love the Artfire feel to him. Also still hilarious that Elita's bust become her badonkadonks in combined mode. A combiner with a butt that would make most females jealous is hilarious in every way

With Inferno, did they fix the issue where his hip ratchets aren't completely straight (so you have to lean his hips either a click forwards or backwards), or is that still an issue?

Not on my copy. :roll:

But the knees are molded correctly. Unlike Vicky's mold and some others.

That's a shame.

Good. That was pretty annoying on Victorion.

My copy still has the hip issue in combined mode, the combiner lean just will not go away.

But he is so fun! I know I bitched this figure up and down from the reveal that he was a Hot Spot repaint with only a new robot head, but dang I love him, and cannot figure out why. Had some more fun with him at work today.

Also, HTS free next day shipping to me came through once more! I cannot say how happy I am to finally have a complete Volcanicus and Dreadwing

I hang with some serious LEGO maniacs, and they are all freaking out right now over that awesome beast. :KREMZEEK:

My dad's been in the VIP thing for years. When he joined, they even gave him a cool keychain with a chrome red minifigure on it.

I don't buy lego enough anymore to really be part of a program like that.

on the topic of keychains, I do have a lego keychain of LotR Gimli. I love that little guy.

Also, later this week or sometime next week, my new project will commence! That BH ultimate prime is being disassembled, cleaned, scrubbed of paint, and a brand new bot will emerge on the otherside at some point!

Oh word D-Max?! How are you painting BH Optimus up?! Free hand? Fancy airbrush? Hopes and dreams?!

INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW!!

I plan to give him some brand new parts, weapons, I am going to attempt to remold the head, and he is at this moment gonna go black, red, and silver.

I intend to make him a realization of a dream around 6 or 7 years in the making. At the very beginning of this thread, I posted those 8 pictures I drew of team Crash N' Burn, and I intend to attempt at long last to make Maximus Prime. We're gonna see how it goes. He's big and clunky which will help, and he was cheap, so that will make me feel a lot less bad if he doesn't come out that well.

Jazz may not pull off action poses perfectly, but he nails the cool/chill factor:

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Wed Jul 04, 2018 5:02 pm

Ya know, playing around with Volcanicus, he isn't really all that bad. He is a pretty decent effort, and he is cool and fun. It's a shame he's so close but not quite there, cause I do love him. The upgrade kit will help with that, but I still really wish he could be that extra bit better by himself.

So while out and about today picking up some anniversary gifts and trying and failing to find an affordable grill, I finally picked up Jurassic World Stiggy. he is so much fun! he was great in the movie, so I had to get him in the plastic. Me likey, and he's quite posable and expressive too

News Credits: 15 · by **galvatron00** » Thu Jul 05, 2018 6:47 am

Very cool shots D!! Jazz does look nice, and Volcanicus isn’t bad!! After seeing him in Power of the Primes by Machinima, I do wish the bots were larger.

We are going to see Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom tomorrow, and I’m trying to make it a double feature with Ant Man and the Wasp afterwards!!!

Nice!

Watch out for that Indoraptor. That thing really is creepy and scary.

Also, be prepared to be touched by the Brachiosaurus. [-(

Also, more Jazzin'!

Finally, someone else who appreciates FOC Jazz.

I loved the Fall of Cybertron designs, they just really needed a bit better execution on the toys. Jazz is cool and I love his levels in the game and his looks as a toy, but I just wish he had slightly thicker legs and lower body. It was far worse on Sideswipe, which is why I didn't get him, and sort of regret it.

Grimlock is a favorite of mine, and Soundblaster is my Generations Soundwave too. Grim is so cool. Mom didn't hesitate letting me get him back in the day cause I love dinosaurs and dinobots, and so does she

New pictures!

In this episode of pics with the D-Max, we got a blind pupper, a mouthy old pupper who is a terrorist at dinner time, a Bee in the Hammer time mood, a new Cutthroat, and some 6 month anniversary gifts!
