The Energon Pub

Stumbling upon the nest in the open, the hungry Mordle intended to take full advantage of this opportunity! Unfortunately, before it could feast upon the succulent eggs, the mother returned to it's nest! Panicked, the Mordle froze in place in an attempt to blend in. Remaining still, it hoped the protective creature couldn't count!

Thanks, not too shabby yourself, sir. Click the pics for more.

Bulky is looking nice. Is that the voyager mold?

Thanks Cary; yes, voyager^^

Cool; the Prime series gave me the love of Bulkhead, but I've never watched the Animated series.

I love that aesthetic and I'm starting to get into the figures. Nabbing a Bulk is high on the to do list. I see you have several flavors. Would you recommend one over the other or do they (voyager and leader) each have their own strengths and weaknesses?

The voyager class is more show-accurate and in scale with Lugnut (Voyager), another great character (Decepticon)

But Bulkhead is... great and the leader class is great^^

... and the Animated cartoon is ingenious^^

I like that Unicron hanging off the ceiling!

What brand did you use for Superion?

Seconded - and those bare bones look mighty fine to me, MGrotusque, nice stuff!

That is a nice display. I too am curious what figure stand can hold the weight of Superion, at a weird angle, and dangling over a ledge without toppling.

I'd like to know what brand of stand Superion is sporting!

Is that a custom rifle with Jetfire there, Care-bear?

Yes and no, he and TCracker did a weapon swap. I felt the black looked better with Jetfire and vise versa.

Ah, I never realized their weapons were slightly different.

Be mindful of over-cropping. Negative space in your pictures has value and allows the eye to better take in the subject matter.

Take for example these two pictures. Which do you find easier to look at and evaluate?

I think if you pull back a bit and don't draw the image down, you'll be happier with the composition. (The first one I put up here perhaps has a little too much negative space, but I was working in a consistent 4x3 frame on the set and kind of needed to run with it.)

I was thinking the exact same thing after looking at my pics. That isn't cropping as much as me moving the camera close enough to hide the surrounding area. In fact those pics are 100% untouched. I need bigger backdrops for the leaders and I'd love to take some decent pics of Devy.

I do have a bad habit of zooming in too much even on the deluxe class figures, though.

Thanks for the input. ;)^

Favorite movie recreation pic...

Wreckage fits in nicely with the other 07 movie figures. The robot design is cool, and the vehicle mode is really close to a real-life APC. Only thing I would want out of him is a little more articulation. Otherwise, an excellent toy!

Here is my Twitter, and here is a picture.

Whoa, accurate (kinda) representation of scale. Creepy. :lol:

Was requested I post a link here too... My g1 box art ... 40+ images of mp figures trying their best to mimic their box art...

For a taste:

MPs are almost too good to be true. They look like their cartoon counterparts and they transform, too? Yes please!

(Check out my homage to the size chart in Carytheone's recent Photo Challenge.)

Nice one, Webz! Is that the recent 3P Ravage?
I like the box art one, too.

Cary, I like it! An homage of an homage. References are fun!
