Bulkhead: "COME ON! I've fought worse than you two!"

Weirdwolf: "Three."

*THOOM*
"GNNF!"

Bulkhead: "Rrrg... Leave it to a 'con to fight dirty."

Weirdwolf: "The weapon, Autobot. Surrender it and only leave you a cripple, I will."

Bulkhead: "You'll have to do more than that if you want to get your rusty claws o-"

*THOOM*

"Retrieve the weapon, Laserback. Destroy the Autobot, if survive he did."

Just having fun with Windblade.

"Just borrowing this for a second. I feel the need to shoot something..."

"ROCK BOTTOM!"

Thought I lost the stickers for Windblade months ago, but found them recently and slapped them on. They don't change much but now it feels like she's finished. Some of these damn things are MICROSCOPIC.

Some kickass stuff on this page! Fires, superb work on that waterfall fight scene!

My own humble contribution.

Light piping should be a constant in TF figures. Imagine if Titans had and are given light piping?

Great stuff Fires Of Inferno. ;)^

Thanks! And yes, I agree. Light piping needs to make a bigger comeback. Mind you I haven't bought any new figures in a while so I don't know how that situation is right now.

Did somebody say light piping?

Light piping looks great 20% of the time when it's under the ideal lighting, but looks like garbage the other 80% of the time and makes some section of the head the wrong color 100% of the time. I'll take solid plastic or painted eyes any day over Light pipes. I really loved the few figures we got during RID 2001 that had chromed eyes.

Honestly, metallic paint, or chrome painted eyes would be the next best option! Glossy yellow, red, or blue paint works, but doesn't really do it for me as much. Though light piping will always be my favorite~

Light-piping isn't the be-all end-all for me, and it doesn't work for every figure, but it's definitely appreciated when done well. And even when there's no piping, I enjoy transparent plastic eyes.

Depends on the series. With most G1 characters, yeah, but for some of the other shows...

Forgot to reply. I'm glad you enjoy it, I had fun setting that up.

I'm on that too. That would be a cool gimmick/feature to include a second pair of eyes...a metallic set and a light piping set or engineer the figure like Studio '86 Hot Rod.
