No one is quite sure how Bruticus Maximus ended up in Quadwal, but he's angry.

Clearly the brothers thought they had this. So I've found out that she turns into an "Explosive-proof Armored Car", in the toy line she's part of she's a villain, and her name Bierfa, translates to a few things in different languages. I mean, I used Google Translate, so take this with a plateful of salt.

Nepali: Expansion
Thai: Mistress (or) Beaver (or) Beetle
Urdu: Before
Luxembourgish: Beer
Chinese: Bill Hair

I mean, I guess I can call her whatever by this point, since I have no idea what the name actually is.

Bierfa: "I also have your health in mind when I tell YOU to back the frag up from my coffee."

Well I just found out that Siege's gimmick isn't weapons, but toys for your toys.

Which I guess is the same thing.

Playing with G2 Superion? You're either brave or crazy.

I was like why then I looked at the pic and saw THAT leg and i was like... oh god... he's gonna be like tiny tim and need a crutch this christmas.

Hey, combining Slingshot as a leg is okay as long as Superion doesn't take a fall that bonks him too hard on something (which I've had happen all of once in the three years I've had him). It's combining him as an arm that really causes trouble methinks, because of the hyper-stiff ratchet joints in Silverbolt's shoulder sockets (which I was aware of by the time I had Slingshot so I've only ever used him as a leg). And hey - G2 Slingshot has proved hardier than my KO of RiD Rollbar.

Eh i dunno. Feels like it be safer if you carefully put that Slingshot away in protective padding and in a sturdy case to only be viewed and never again exposed to the outside world and just find a regular G1 Slingshot, cover that in gold paint and use that instead. :O

I'm proud of my restored G2 Slingshot (he's my avatar after all), and I'll play with him if I so choose!

Is cool. We just show concern cos we care and are fellow collectors and know the pain of much loved figures breaking to bits and stuff. I hope your gold Slingshot stays healthy for a long time. Merry christmas and such.

Sat Dec 22, 2018 4:07 am

Thank you, and the same to you.

I've taken steps to help Slingshot's health. Like filling in his neck hollow and filing down joint surfaces to reduce friction.

What do you think of the action sequence Superion is in?

Yeah, the last thing we need is one less G2 Slingshot in the world. As someone that's lost both a BW Grimlock and Prowl to GPS I know first hand how heartbreaking it is.

Well, he was broken when I first got him. But I glued him back together, filed his joints to reduce the friction enough for safe transformation. bought a head from someone, and glued it on and reinforced it. I even detail-painted him.

Does anyone have a comment about something besides my use of G2 Slingshot?

I like Grimlock battling Scourge!! :APPLAUSE:

I'm just glad you finally told us who Roddy Prime was throwing, I've been trying to figure that out for the past many days since you first posted it :lol:
