yeah. theyre sculpted in there, but he's got a gun-hand thing goin on. it works though

They're a bit like Arm-cannons.

If it helps, think...the A-10 Thunderbolt mold from Energon. They had the same sort of arms.

I think this is my favorite, bad guy leader TF toy ever. Never watched the show, so don't know much about his character, but if it's anything like the way he looks, I'm sure he is not very nice.

RiD Megatron/Galvatron is a ULTRA class toy, not a Leader. :-B

But yeah, that's one awesome mold! We need more Devilmanesque TFs.

He just said "leader", not "Leader Class"

And Devil Gigatron is indeed one of a kind. He actually is an energy vampire in that form, that makes him extra dangerous.

Did you know that, in the Japanese Car Robot anime, he is so far the only evil leader to actually win the final battle? Yup, he managed to defeat God Fire Convoy (off-screen) and drained him of his Matrix Energy... only to overload and KO himself. Smart :roll:

We're missing what's truly important here: He has ten alt modes. TEN.

Thanks

And thanks for the factoids. A Vampire, COOL! That is Gigatron in the pic, I got all those guys from a import shop before I ever knew they were coming here.
Are there any differences between the Giga and Galva toys?

I know, he may be kind of on the meh side for total articulation, but he's in my top five toys for the sheer creativity.

Not much posing going on, but I just wanna show off my Classic Voyager Inferno Molds collection.

IT IS COMPEHLETE! ...hopefully, for now. Please, I want a green one!

i loovvvve G2. it was actually kind of exciting when i was a kid, i remember it was like "transformers ARENT gone? YAY!!". and i cant get enough of the wacky colors, i hope we keep getting G2 homages in the future (whether theyre ridiculous exclusives or not).

Gonna make this quick, because my shoulders hurt. Hot Shot was a surprise from the Age of Extinction toyline. With the colours it would have made more sense to call him Tracks. I dunno why, but we have Hot Shot instead. Fine by me, I'll still call him Tracks! However, I still like putting lots of guns on him. Now if you excuse me, I'm off to have some jaAm sandwiches.

I eat your babies, on Twitter!

Artfire is the red and white one, coming with his 2 targetmasters. He's a damn expensive exclusive. He came out at 150$ and I bought it on sale at 100$. Now, he's pretty hard to find and he... http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... ode=retail Oh...
Well, anyone who missed out, guess it's time to buy!

Also, the latest one, Hotspot from the Evac Squad, is the one between the two yellow Grappels. Quite nice, but I wish they would have used every remolding of the Grapple molds and used the GDO Hotspot head.

That is one of my favourite toys as well. You really should try to find a copy of the cartoon (even if you have to download it) as it is fun. Weird at times, but fun.

Hand mode is awesome, but this guy has so many fan modes it is just crazy, and some of them actually look good!

Trust me, when I was looking for him, I broke a sweat too! The dude was and maybe still is almost impossible to find on his own. It was always the full Botcon set for infinty dollars. After a Google search, I found an online wtore who had it. It was closed and on maintenance! >-<. I PM'd the site owner and after a few mails back-and-forth (He didnt sold to Canada usually) I managed to get it for 100$US shipped. Quite expensive, but at least, I have it!

Buyers remorse? Nope! Dat Botcon "Pyro" is awesome and it's still impossible to find on it's own.

And great displays like that are why I'm super excited about CW this year.

I use instagram. It makes shooting and uploading very easy from my phone and it has built in tools for adjusting brightness and other levels. You can get decent results with a beat to hell Samsung S3 and a piece of paper.

We will make everything metal. Blacker than the blackest black times infinity! No real reason for the choices here. I wanted to use certain figures, but the limits of articulation prevented that. Still, I like how it turned out.

Website · by **Fires_Of_Inferno** » Mon Feb 02, 2015 2:57 pm

Pretty much the same pic, except with female characters. Was going to have Strika where Windblade is, but Strika's arms couldn't reach around her own chest, so she's Nathan Explosion instead.

I dunno if it counts as posing or anything. I just wanted to see how much Kre-O I actually had. Yeah, that's a lot. Sadly though, not yet enough to make a little house for one of them to live in.
