I'm still playing around with this set up. I'm going to change the back ground and perhaps the lighting quite a bit still.

Metroplex: Can I eat him?

Optimus: No

Starscream: (high pitched squeel voice) 15 minute speech on why he shouldn't be eaten.

Metroplex: How bout now?

Optimus: Yes.

They really did a great job with the Protectobots decos, I think. Shame I don't care for Defensor much. :lol:

I also don't think the Kreon combiner style does justice to how bulky Defensor should be.

In the meantime, I'm looking forward to gestalt wave 3, which hopefully will have Computron! I bought Nosecone the other day, and I really like the little guy. The only issue I have is that they cast his helmet in black rather than orange, but I feel it's a minor (and easily fixed) gripe.

In this recent post, I mentioned that my Autobot Ark crew was only 1.5 robots away from completion... The .5 part, of course, being upgrading Trailbreaker from his Legends figure to the new Deluxe (but still kind of small, especially in vehicle mode) version...

Well, the third party Gears came last week, and I managed to snag Trailcutterbreaker today... So here it is! My Classis Autobot Ark crew!

Left to Right, Back Row: Hauler, Prowl, Ironhide, Gears, Trailbreaker, Ratchet, Optimus Prime, Huffer
Front Row: Hound, Sideswipe, Bluestreak, Wheeljack, Sunstreaker, Jazz, Windcharger, Brawn, Bumblebee, Mirage, Cliffjumper

After my post just the other day with the now complete Autobot Ark crew, I got to thinking... My thought process went something like this:

"That's a decent set of pics I took of those figues in both modes. I know I just photographed my collection the other day... But some were robots, some were vehicles... Some were against black, some were against wood, some were against white... I should do it again, with some standardization!"

So yeah, I did it again... (For the Classics figures, at least.)

Not going to share all of 'em right now, though. (Unless there is some interest.) But I thought I'd share one. For one thing, it has a new acquisition: Sandstorm. For another, it has Grimlock as a robot, which was something of a revelation.

I own a Classics Grimlock, and I do like the toy. But it is rare that I use him. My Grimlock usually stays in Dino-mode, and in that mode, I actually think that the Masterpiece version scales better.

So, my revelation? Although he has to crouch down a bit, the Masterpiece one still seems to fit well with Classics figures even as a robot!

Your gif is making me dizzy 8-}

Yeah I reckon Masterpiece Grimmy just about gets away with being in scale with classics figures. In some appearances Grimlock is vast, even in robot mode!

Ha ha, is he as big as Metroplex yet? That would be an awesome photo by the way, him 'fighting' with the Titan-class behemoth. Maybe when he is a bit older... Anyway, welcome to the forums, Danieltron
