Cool!! So did I!

NICE Sjeng!! ;)^

When 'Cron is in bot mode, did you use his planet panels to help hold up his ring-wings? Despite mine having been freshly opened yesterday after being MISB since 2003, his wings are a bit floppy....and I'm not a big fan of removing the wings/panels to transform -- but he's still so cool. 8-)

Gotta love Masterpieces!!

Recently built some LED blast effects for your Transformers figures. Fits most MP, CHUG, etc. Has a rubber grip, so it fits snugly onto the weapon. Fairly easy to make and pretty cheap parts. If interested, check out my page for a DIY tutorial video so you can make your own!

I'm loving skater Prime's railgun, protecting the school supplies from the Decepticons.

Here comes Astrotrain for a fight.

And get turned into his personal skateboard.

Okay, now he's just showing off.

Love it! I also like how you were allowed the supply room as your display area :lol:

Yeah, the battlefield (pool table) is usually my domain, but it has been taken over temporarily with the kids heading back to school this week.

Are Skater Prime's elbow ratchets any tighter than regular-release PMOP's?

Oldschool but still cool.

Hard for me to answer as my PMOP's elbows are pretty tight. Skater Prime's are about the same. I was able to get my PMOP into the same upside down pose w/ Astrotrain if that tells you anything. They were at a 45 degree angle for that pose and had to support most of the weight for Skater Prime, plus all of Astrotrain.

Mine are kind of loose, like the tabs are too short to work properly. They do okay holding his guns singly, but combined all together like that the weight drops his forearm like a stone.

EDIT:
Here, have Sixshot in car mode with Overboard riding shotgun:

Pretty cool sequence there, and enhanced by the special effects. I need to re-learn how to do glow effects again... And get software that has the right tools for them.

Here's a sequence I shot today of the Thunderzords fighting Cybertron Starscream:

The shot of the Thunder Ultrazord flying toward him was a PAIN to shoot
