Of course. I think a lot of people don't really realize all the time put into the galleries alone. Especially if you're doing them all by yourself. A lot of people probably assume that since the galleries are so vast, there are a team of people working on them. But it's the work of only one man. I've been around long enough to know that for you this is a labor of love. Though even this must take a backseat now to what you should (and probably do) cherish the most.

There's:

The Japanese version: Galaxy Force Sonic Bomber (same toy, but slightly different colors, plus chrome silver &gold paint)
EX-02 Galaxy Force Sonic Convoy - another slightly different colored version, but with more gold chrome, all red changed to metallic red, and the gold chrome chestplate is now red chrome
Movie Wingblade - Autobot

I haven't decided yet if the Devastator set will have individual galleries for each vehicle or if I'll just put them all in the Devastator gallery. Regardless ... they're on their way soon

Ah, Wing Saber. I've got his gallery half finished (started work on his gallery back in April 2008 but never finished it). Wing Saber's biggest problem was that he was at the tail-end of Cybertron and Wingblade came out at the tail end of the 2007 Movie's line. It generally takes me longer to do galleries of figures that come out at the end because the figures that come out in the line following the end of a series always take precedence. Hopefully I'll have time at some point to finish up the galleries for Wing Saber (Cybertron), Wingblade (Movie 2007), and Jetstorm (Movie 2007), though I imagine you'll see me finish up galleries of more popular characters/figures such as Classics 2.0 Ratchet, Hot Shot and Henkei Smokescreen first.

I'll make sure to do that when I get HA Sideswipe since HA Bumblebee's gallery is already up on the site.

Yeah I look at all of the galleries I'm in the middle of right now and I keep picturing Simmons' line from the movie about "being one man, all alone". Anyone remember his exact quote?

It's really tough right now balancing Seibertron.com with being a new father, not to mention my other responsibilities and obligations I have to worry about. Fortunately for me, it will be a long while until this many figures are released all at once.

8 more galleries to add to this list:

Robot Powered Machines
------------------------------------
Mudflap
Skids
Optimus Prime
Bonecrusher
Jazz
Brawl
Bumblebee
Barricade

These are probably going to be the first new set of galleries from this entire batch of galleries because they were easy to finish and I don't have to do robot mode comparison pics. Should have these up later tonight.

Almost done with many other galleries. Devastator should be up later this week, maybe on Friday or Saturday. The Fallen, Ravage, Soundwave, and a few others that don't have many robot mode comparison pics to do will be coming up soon as well.

Probably going to finish up Devastator's gallery tonight and start the Robot Replicas galleries to start finishing up robot mode comparison pics.

News Credits: 3559 · by **Seibertron** » Fri Jul 17, 2009 10:04 am

Finished the Devastator set last night. That's another additional 7 galleries total (one for each character). Also finished galleries for ROTF Soundwave, ROTF Ravage, and the SDCC Soundwave set (5 total galleries ... one each for Soundwave, Ratbat, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, and Ravage). Also started working on the Robot Replicas galleries. That's 22 additional galleries from when I started this list two weeks ago.

That's quite a bit...no one can question your dedication, that's for sure...and I am glad to see 7 different galleries for the Constructicons, because as I said in that thread, the Construction vehicles look pretty good, as opposed to the combined form which looks...bad. So I think that was a good decision.

You sure the combined form looks that bad (movie aesthetics aside)? It's really grown on me after doing the gallery.

Here's a teaser ...

I'm pretty certain that Hasbro should just hire you to do all there press photography. People'd be buying every single thing they made. :-)

Deep Space Starscream
Premium Barricade
Premium Blackout
Premium Bumblebee
Premium Ironhide

Premium Optimus Prime (Leader Class)
Premium Optimus Prime (Leader Class, Takara Tomy)

There's also about 20+ Robot Heroes galleries coming soon as well as the remaining 3 or 4 Scout class figures that I haven't started taking pictures for yet.

I think I've got most of the pictures completed for the Leader Class figures. There might be a few more comparison shots that I need to finish up, but they should be launched within the next two weeks. The original 12 Robot Heroes are almost complete minus their faction comparison shots. Same with the Robot Replicas. Most of the FABs are finished up as well, with the exception of the robot modes for Optimus Prime, Sideways and Starscream. I still need to take pictures of the remaining deluxe and voyager class figures. Robot mode pics still need to be completed for most of the 2007 Premium figures.

Indeed

I always check the galleries on here every now and then to see if there's a display pose that I should try out.

Premium galleries are going to be nice. I think I'll need a gallery of Blazemaster to get a feel of the figure.

I like to see this too, because my Blazemaster is currently still displayed in his alt mode.

I finished up most of the photos for the ROTF Leader Class figures (Megatron, Optimus and Jetfire) as well as the Premium figures from the 2007 movie line. I only have a few pics to finish up in order to launch the galleries for the following figures in the next week:

ROTF LEADER CLASS
----------------------------
Optimus Prime
Megatron
Jetfire
Jetpower Optimus Prime

MOVIE 2007 PREMIUM LINE
----------------------------
Optimus Prime (Hasbro)
Optimus Prime (Takara Tomy)
Megatron
Bumblebee
Barricade
Jazz
Ironhide
Blackout
Deep Space Starscream

The Premium Leader Class figures will probably get posted before the other Premium figures. I think all of the pics are completed for ROTF Prime and Megatron minus a group shot of all 3 Leader Class figures plus some action poses of Optimus Prime, which I somehow totally missed. I'm looking forward to finally posting the galleries for these figures at last. I'd say they're long overdue but with all of the galleries I've cranked out since May (156 galleries since May 16th to be exact), I don't know how (when?) I could've finished them sooner.

I'm still working on finishing up these galleries. I think I'm getting pretty close to having them all completed. I think they're mostly complete except for some group/faction comparison shots.

Also wrapping up the final photos for the remaining ROTF galleries that I've been working on. I've almost finished the FABs and the Robot Replicas. The regular line is also nearing a close. I'm almost done with the remaining 10 Deluxes and Voyagers and I think that'll be it. I think there's only 35 more ROTF galleries I have to complete not counting any new/upcoming figures.

Just when I think I'm almost getting caught up, a whole slew of new figures has to come out. Joy!

I plowed through a ton of photos for the latest Walmart exclusives this past weekend. I'm 3/5 of the way finished with Hardhead, Powerglide, Skyfall and Fearswoop (aka Hooligan). I also took this opportunity to do pics of TRU exclusive Countdown and Darkwind. Even busted out BotCon 07 Dreadwind for comparison pics, as well as G1 Powerglide, G2 Skyjack, G2 Hooligan and G1 Hardhead. Heck, I even finally applied the stickers to my MIB Japanese G1 Countdown so that I could do comparison pics with the new Countdown. Also pulled out G1 Skystalker for comparison pics with G1 Countdown.

Also found time to transform ROTF Mixmasters for the ROTF Mixmaster (G1) version and to do Hoist as well. Man, Mixmaster is a bitch to transform, especially when you follow the instructions. I think I'm finally getting the hang of that figure. I can only imagine how frustrating Mixmaster is to a child.

Hardhead, Powerglide and Skyfall are my three biggest priorities right now followed by Countdown, Darkwind, G1 Countdown, and G1 Skystalker. I'd like to have their galleries posted online by the end of this week if not sooner.
