That looks cool!
Do you have a Cybertron Supreme-class Starscream for him to duke it out with?

Recreating some comic covers. Spotlight Optimus Prime, and Windblade Distant Stars. Anyone else?

If you push the shoulders in towards his torso they should slide in and give you some friction so he can actually hold his arms up. I don't think it's in the instructions so most people don't know they can do this (ignore the shoulder pad position).

BTW, looking at all those pictures of Triceradon I'm just now realizing how much he looks like Nightmare from Soul Calibur.

Unfortunately I was too young to afford to buy any figures during that era

Well, he's not too hard to find on eBay, even complete (or nearly so).

Well I'll be, I've had this toy for over 13 years and I never realized that. I guess I learn something new every day. I always thought his left arm was defective because it wouldn't sit flush with his torso, I guess it just needed to be locked into place. :shock:

His right arm used to kinda lock in place, but never as securely as the left one does now, and it's too worn now to be any good. But I can pose his left arm now! Thank you! :DANCE:

Now you have something fun to post in this topic.

I was thinking the same thing.

I have something else I've been meaning to post there as well, so maybe I'll get around to it tomorrow. And also some cool poses, as it's become obvious that I need to step up my game. :lol:

More Windblade pics!

Awesome!

Although I'm pretty sure her swords are supposed to face the other way in altmode so that the hilts can be laser cannons.

That Megs is a cool mold. It was hard passing in that version, but I already had two.

In honor of leap day, Springer's jumping into action.

by **ZeldaTheSwordsman** » Sat Feb 29, 2020 9:12 pm

Are you sure he's not just Baywatch-running?

News Credits: 20 · by **Tuned Agent** » Sat Feb 29, 2020 10:04 pm

Don't have any stands, it was the best I could do. Though I could have positioned him better in relation to the background. :lol:

EDIT: Or maybe it's Dreamwave running.

Nice to see the SIEGE compatibility outside of the line.
I'm curious what Double Dealer will look like in Red Albert's colors :-?

Well, 5mm pegs and ports have been a standard since the start (*glowers at Classics Mirage and Hot Rod*). And any Mini-Con connector is a 5mm peg, so...
