Just another picture of Windblade. She is ridiculously photogenic.

O hai.

Great to be here, y'all.

So noble. So majestic.

Customary mutant shots.

Cool Va'al. You took the plunge. How are his elbows?

EEeehhhhh.... Awesome pictures, but I still don't like the design.

EDIT: Of course, I'm about to post pictures of a figure I like with a head design I don't like. So what the hell do *I* know? XD 8-}

And there's the picture! Normally I need to take at least 10 pictures of something to get the right shot. Just took 1 this time, and it turned out almost perfect! I just needed to brighten it up afterwords.

Okay. What I'm looking at? Izzat a custom head?

Uh, no, that's her regular head.

Oh. Right.

Call me weird, but I see a round head with a black helmet that cover the eyes, a blue eye visible, with a big red mouth making a nasty grin.
:HEADHURTS:

I see what you mean, and that would actually make for a pretty neat head design.

Elbows seem good, if a little wobbly. The ratcheting mechanism is not fixed, but relies on the grey plastic tabs inside the forearms, giving it no solid grip on the cog. But it works.

Only thing I'd like it to do is have better arm flexibility to make it pose as if punching its own fists. You know, cartoon style. But it's kind of adorable as it is.

Despite his flaws I think he's a neat toy and a cool lookin' robot. Glad you like him. ;)^

Nice shots Va'al! He can come up with some comical poses :lol:

So, I don't know if this goes in the The Official Kre-O Discussion Thread or not. That thread seems more for Kre-O news. Not sure if this would go in the customs thread either since... well, it's just Kre-O. Either way, here it is!

I called this guy Slimeboss. It's like Crime Boss.... but with Slime.

I suppose he turns into a slime-shooting tank of some sort.

And here's the slime!

Have you tried the man-in-a-fatsuit transformation yet? Keep the Godzilla head off in beast mode.
I would post a picture, but my Grimlock is not around here.

I see we have similar tastes in Arcees... :lol:

Anyway, I figured I'd try my hand at a crude attempt at an animated GIF. So here it is!

(My own Arcee can be found fairly front and center in that image.)

And for anyone wanting a longer (and more hi-res) look at the first and last frames, here they are as static images:

(Edit: It only just occurred to me that Perceptor should probably get relocated, since he was originally a 1985 toy, and this is my "1986 and beyond" shelf. And yet I have Drift on my 1985 shelf, when he never even had a G1 toy! Guess I should swap those two...)

Looks good. Yots, if you don't mind, what software do you use to make a gif?

Vertebreak has one of the best names in Transformers! I WISH I could get every single transformer that came in a tiger stripe deco, it just looks so garish that I need them all on one shelf! One of the better repaints that came out of Transformers Prime Beast Hunters, if you ask me.

Vertebreak.
